Anti-theft alarm system*

Central locking system

If the anti-theft alarm system senses interference with the vehicle it

triggers an audible and visible alarm.

Description

The anti-theft alarm system switches on automatically when the

vehicle is locked. It switches off automatically if you unlock the

vehicle using the remote control.

The vehicle can be locked and unlocked via the central locking

system. You can use any of the following:

If you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key in the drivers door, the

ignition must be switched on within 15 seconds, otherwise the

alarm will be triggered. On some export versions, the alarm is trig-

gered immediately when you open a door.

• Remote control key ⇒ page 43

• Door handles in conjunction with advanced key* ⇒ page 44

• Lock on driver's door ⇒ page 45

• Interior central locking switch ⇒ page 46

To deactivate the alarm, press the unlock button on the remote

control key or switch on the ignition. The alarm will also switch itself

off when it comes to the end of its cycle.

Unlocking one side of the vehicle only

When you lock the vehicle, the central locking system will lock the

doors and the boot lid. When you unlock the vehicle, the central

locking system will unlock either the driver's door only, or all the

locks on the vehicle, depending on the setting you have selected on

the sound system or MMI* ⇒ page 43.

Switch off the interior monitor and tow-away protection if you wish

to prevent the alarm from being triggered accidentally.

Turn signals

The turn signals will flash twice when the vehicle is unlocked and

once when the vehicle is locked. If the turn signals do not flash, one

of the doors, the bonnet or the boot lid is still open.

Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)

The Auto Lock function locks the doors and the boot lid when the

vehicle exceeds a speed of about 15 km/h.

Accidental lock-out

The vehicle is unlocked again when the ignition key is removed.

Alternatively, the vehicle can also be unlocked via the central

locking switch or by pulling one of the inside door handles. The Auto

Lock function can be switched on and off on the sound system or

MMI* ⇒ page 43.

The central locking system prevents you from being locked out of

the vehicle in the following situations:

• When the driver's door is open, it cannot be locked together with

the other door by pressing the central locking switch and then

closing the door ⇒ page 46.

In the event of an accident in which the airbags inflate, the doors

will be automatically unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.

• On vehicles with advanced key*, the boot lid will be released

again automatically if the remote control key that was last in use is

left inside the boot when the boot lid is closed ⇒ page 48.

Deadlock mechanism

The central locking system is combined with a deadlock mecha-

nism. Once the vehicle has been locked from the outside, the door

handles on the inside are deactivated. This makes it more difficult

to break into the vehicle.

To prevent yourself from being locked out, do not lock the vehicle

with the remote control key before closing the doors or boot lid.

Doors and windows

CAR

– Select: Function selector button

> Central locking.

WARNING

In the Central locking menu you can specify which doors you wish

to have unlocked when you unlock the vehicle using the remote

control key or the advanced key*. For example, if you select off for

the passenger's door, this door will no longer be included in the

central locking function and will not be unlocked when you press

the unlock button on the remote control key once.

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.

You can still unlock both of the doors and the boot lid. To do so,

press the unlock button twice on the remote control key.

• 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.

If you select “Locking boot lid/tailgate” on, you can no longer open

the luggage compartment using the handle on the boot lid

⇒ page 48, fig. 43. In this case, you can open the boot lid using the

 button on the remote control key ⇒ fig. 36 or the unlock switch

on the driver's door ⇒ page 48, fig. 42.

WARNING

Unlocking

Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the car if it is locked

from the outside and the deadlock mechanism is activated: the

Note

– If you turn the key to position A a second time within 2

seconds, this will lock the vehicle without activating the

deadlock mechanism.

Please note the following points if the vehicle is left parked for long

periods:

• To save electrical power, the proximity sensors are switched off

after a few days. You will then need to pull the door handle once to

unlock the vehicle, and a second time to open it.

In order to switch off the anti-theft alarm*, you must switch on the

ignition within 15 seconds after opening the driver's door. Other-

wise the alarm will be triggered.

• To prevent the battery from becoming discharged and thus

maintain the vehicle's starting ability for as long as possible, the

power management system will gradually switch off convenience

functions that are not required. In this case you may not be able to

unlock the vehicle with this convenience function.
