To prevent yourself from being locked out, do not lock the vehicle
with the remote control key before closing the doors or boot lid. If
you accidentally press the locking button on your remote control
key when any of the doors (except for the driver's door) are open,
then put the key down inside the car and forget to take it with you
when you close the doors, you can still open the doors for about one
minute before the vehicle is locked.
WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the car if it is locked
from the outside and the deadlock mechanism is activated: the
doors and windows cannot then be opened from the inside.
Locked doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially
putting lives at risk.
Note
• Never leave any valuable items in the vehicle unattended. Even a
locked vehicle is not a safe.
• If the diode on the driver's window sill lights up for about
30 seconds when the vehicle is locked, the central locking system or
anti-theft alarm* is not working properly. Please have the malfunc-
tion repaired by an Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
• The interior monitor of the anti-theft alarm* system will only
function as intended if the windows and the tilting panorama roof*
are closed.
Set of keys
Remote control key
The remote control key will lock and unlock the car and start the
engine.
Spare key
The spare key is intended for temporary use only and should be
used only in an emergency. Keep it in a safe place and do not carry
it on the keyring.
Replacing a key
If you should lose a key, please contact an Audi dealer. Have the
remote control coding for that key deactivated. For this purpose you
should bring all available keys with you. It is also important to notify
your insurance company if a key has been lost.
Electronic immobiliser
The immobiliser is designed to prevent unauthorised persons from
driving the vehicle. If an uncoded key is used, SAFE will appear in
the mileage recorder display.
It may not be possible to start the engine with the key if there is
another ignition key from a different make of vehicle on the same
key ring.
