Audi Q5 2017 - Emergency Unlocking of the Luggage Compartment Lid; Child Safety Lock

Opening and closing
- Always ensure that no one is within range of
the rear lid when it is moving, in particular
close to the hinges and the upper and lower
edges - fingers or hands can be pinched.
- To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the vehicle, always keep
the rear lid closed while driving. Never
transport objects larger than those which fit
completely into the luggage area, because
then the rear lid cannot be fully closed .
- Never leave your vehicle unattended espe-
cially with the rear lid left open. A child
could crawl into the car through the luggage
compartment and pull the lid shut, becom-
ing trapped and unable to get out. To re-
duce the risk of personal injury, never let
children play in or around your vehicle. Al-
ways keep the rear lid as well as the vehicle
doors closed when not in use.
- If there is a luggage rack or bicycle rack
mounted on the rear lid, it may not be able
to open completely or an opened rear lid
may close by itself because of the added
weight. So the open rear lid must be sup-
ported or the weight must be removed from
the luggage rack first.
(D Tips
- As soon as the electrical connection to the
trailer socket is completed on vehicles with
a factory installed towing hitch, or a trailer
hitch that was installed later according to
factory specifications, the automatic rear lid
funct ion can only be operated via the handle
in the rear lid.
- If the vehicle battery charge drops below a
certain level, you can still open or close the
rear lid manually, however, you will need to
apply more force to close it.
- If the rear lid on a locked vehicle is unlocked
with the middle button
.::::::5 on the remote
key, the rear lid is automatically locked
again immediately after closing. This is indi-
cated by the turn signals blinking.
- The following applies to vehicles equipped
with the Convenience key* feature: if the re-
mote control key is left in the luggage com-
partment, luggage compartment will auto-
42
matically unlock itself after you lock the ve-
hicle. This prevents you from unintentional-
ly locking your key in the luggage compart-
ment.
