Emergency release for ignition key
In the event of a malfunction in the vehicle's electrical
system, it may no longer be possible to remove the igni-
tion key.
If you are not able to remove the ignition key because the
vehicle battery has discharged (for example), remove the
key as follows:
– Press the release catch ⇒ fig. 35 using a ball-point
pen or a similar object and pull the emergency key out
of the remote control key.
– Use the emergency key to lock the vehicle ⇒ page 48.
– Have the vehicle's electrical system checked by a quali-
fied workshop.
Starting the vehicle with the spare key
– Take the adapter for the spare key out of the glove box
⇒ fig. 36.
– Slide the spare key ⇒ fig. 37 all the way into the adapter.
Make sure that the Audi rings are facing upwards.
– Press the spare key in the adapter downwards until you
hear it engage.
– Insert the adapter, spare key first, into the ignition lock.
You should now be able to start the engine in the usual
way.
