Remote control keys

Set of keys

Remote control key

The remote control key will lock and unlock the car via the central

locking system and start the engine.

Spare key

The spare key should be used only temporarily if the remote control

key has been misplaced or lost.

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.

Data stored on remote control key

Data related to the service and maintenance of the vehicle are

stored continuously on your remote control key. Your Audi dealer

can read out the data and will then be able to tell you what service

work is required. This also applies to vehicles with advanced key.

Personal convenience settings

If two people use the same car regularly, it is a good idea for each

person to have his or her “own” remote control key. When you

switch off the ignition or lock the vehicle, your personal settings for

the following convenience features are stored and assigned to the

remote control key:

• Air conditioner

• Central locking system

• Background lighting

• Windows

• parking system*

• Seat memory*

The stored settings are then recalled automatically the next time the

vehicle is unlocked, the doors are opened or the ignition is switched

on.

Before you can assign the seat memory* settings to a remote

control key, the memory function for the remote control key must be

activated ⇒ page 75.

WARNING

• Always switch off the ignition and take the key with you when

leaving the vehicle - even if you only intend to be gone for a short

time. This is especially important if children are left in the car. They

might otherwise be able to start the engine or use power-operated

equipment such as the electric windows - this could lead to inju-

ries.

• Wait for the vehicle to come to a standstill before removing the

ignition key from the lock. Otherwise the steering lock could

engage suddenly, causing an accident.

Note

The function of the remote control key may be impaired by interfer-

ence from other nearby radio signals (for example from a mobile

telephone or TV transmitter) if these are in the same frequency

range.

Indicator lamp on remote control key

The indicator lamp on the remote control key lights up

when you press the buttons.

The indicator lamp should light up once briefly when you press one

of the buttons briefly. The indicator lamp should flash when you

press and hold one of the buttons (convenience open/close).

If the indicator lamp does not light up, this means the battery is

exhausted and must be replaced ⇒ page 40. The instrument cluster

display also shows the symbol  and the following message if the

battery is exhausted:

Please change key battery

Replacing the battery for the remote control
