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:

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).  
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.  
If the indicator lamp does not light up, this means the battery is  
exhausted and must be replaced ⇒ page 39. The instrument cluster  
display also shows the symbol and the following message if the  
battery is exhausted:  
Please change key battery  
• 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.  
Replacing the battery for the remote control  
key  
Note  
Each remote control key contains a round-cell battery,  
located in the battery carrier.  
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.

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.

> 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.

locked vehicle is not a safe.  
• 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.  
• The interior monitor of the anti-theft alarm* system will only  
function as intended if the windows and the tilting panorama roof*  
are closed.

door is unlocked. The remote control key has to be within a range of  
about 1.5 metres of the relevant door or the boot lid. It does not  
matter where you carry the key, for instance whether it is in your  
jacket pocket or in a briefcase.  
Locking and unlocking the vehicle using the  
key  
If the central locking system should fail to work, you can  
still lock and unlock the driver's door by turning the emer-  
gency key or spare key in the lock.  
The unlocking function may be affected if the sensor area on the  
door handle is touched while the vehicle is being unlocked.  
The locking function may be affected if you grasp the door handle  
while the vehicle is being locked.  
Once the doors have been locked, they cannot be opened again  
immediately. This will enable you to check that the doors are prop-  
erly closed.  
The system will either unlock both the doors or one door only,  
depending on the settings you have chosen on the sound system or  
MMI* ⇒ page 43.

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.
