How to coordinate the remote con­
trol to a memory button
You can use the remote control to recall an
individual seating position stored in memo­
ry.
In order to recall stored seat and mirror posi­
tions from the memory with the remote
control, a specific memory button must be
assigned to the transmitter units.
82 The
first factory provided transmitter unit
should be programmed to memory button 1
and the second transmitter unit to button 2.
If required, you can order an additional re­
mote control transmitter from an authorized
Audi Dealer, which should then be pro­
grammed to memory button 3.
Assigning stored settings to the remote
control:
After you have stored all settings under a
memory button, you can assign this setting
to the remote control.
• Briefly press the memory button to be
coord inated with the remote control.
Wait until the seat, the outside mirrors and
the steering wheel have reached their
stored position.
• Press the same memory button a second
time and hold while depressing the unlock
button on the remote control. Release the
memory button after 2 seconds.
The memory button on the seat is now coor­
dinated with the remote control. Notes
• If you coordinate a remote control to a
'new' memor y button on the driver's seat,
the coordination with the 'old' button will be
erased.
• The coordination between the remote
control and a memory button will remain in
effect even if the settings under the
memory button on the driver's seat have
been changed.
• In addition, it is possible to erase a single
key assignment to a specific memory but­
ton.
Press and hold the memory button while
pressing the unlock button on the master
key with remote control for about 1 0 sec­
onds. Then release the memory button af­
ter about 2 seconds.

with the remote control and with the
memory buttons.

When you unlock the vehicle with the re-.
mote control the outside mirrors automati­

er's door, the driver's seat also
automatically adjusts.
The seat will automatically adjust itself if
you open the driver's door within 1 0 min­

the driver's door, after unlocking the car,

Retrieving using the
memory buttons
• With the passenger's door open, de­
press and release the desired memory but­
ton. The seat will automatically adjust to the
stored position.
• If the door has been closed, you must
then depress and hold the memory button

84 Emergency
Off
In an emergency, you can interrupt
any retrieval procedure by
• pressing the '"STOP'" button (see il­
lustration on page 81 and 83). or
• tapping one of the memory buttons.
Pushing the"ON/OFF"button to the OFF
position only switches off the Memory. The
stored settings will not be erased.
It's a good idea to turn the Memory off if the
vehicle is going to be used temporarily by a
driver whose driving position will not be
memorized.
The advantage is that the personal settings
that have already been memorized will re­
main intact and will not change each time
the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control. Note
The memory function is switched off when
the STOP button is pressed. The word
''OFF" lights up if the headlights are
switched on. However, the programmed
seat, outside mirrors and steering wheel
positions remain stored in the memory.
