The new Audi A5 features an all-new key concept. Instead of the turning movement of the ignition key in the
ignition lock, the vehicle is now started by a push movement of the key in the ignition lock. No button oper-
ated folding key is needed.

• Storing data required by the immobiliser
• Storing vehicle data for the "Audi Service Key" function
• Locating the current key position by means of signals from the entry and start authorisation aerials
