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 39. 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 key
Each remote control key contains a round-cell battery,
located in the battery carrier.

WARNING
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.
Note
•
Never leave any valuable items in the vehicle unattended. Even a
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.
•
The interior monitor of the anti-theft alarm* system will only
function as intended if the windows and the tilting panorama roof*
are closed.
Setting the central locking system
You can use the sound system or MMI* to select which
doors are unlocked by the central locking system.
– Select: Function selector button > Central locking.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.
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.
When you lock the vehicle, the central locking system will automat-
ically lock both of the doors and the boot lid together.
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 

WARNING
For safety reasons it is important that all the windows are kept
free of ice, snow and condensation. These can cause poor visibility
and lead to an accident. Please familiarise yourself with the oper-
ating controls for the air conditioner, including the demist/defrost
functions for the windows.
Caution
•
If you suspect that the air conditioner is damaged, switch it off
to prevent further damage and have the system checked by a quali-
fied workshop.
•
Repairs to the Audi air conditioner require specialist knowledge
and special tools. For this reason, please contact a qualified work-
shop if the system is not working properly.Note
•
Keep the air intake slots in front of the windscreen clear of snow,
ice and leaves to ensure unimpaired heating and cooling, and to
prevent the windows misting over.
•
The air from the outlets flows through the passenger compart-
ment and out through the slots at the rear of the vehicle. Do not
cover these slots with clothing or other objects.
•
The air conditioner operates most effectively with the windows
and the tilting panorama roof* closed. However, if the vehicle has
heated up after standing in the sun for some time, the air inside can
be cooled more quickly by opening the windows for a short time.

To prevent the battery from becoming discharged and to maintain
the necessary power level, the system will temporarily shut off the
electrical components that are using a lot of power, or reduce the
current they are consuming ⇒page 192. Heating systems in partic-
ular use a large amount of electrical power. If you notice, for
instance, that the rear window heater is not working, it may have
been temporarily switched off by the power management function,
or regulated to a lower heat output. These systems will be available
again as soon as sufficient electrical power is available.

Special parking situationsApplies to vehicles: with parking system advancedParking next to an obstacle
When parking next to an obstacle it is important to keep
sufficient distance at the side.When using “Parking mode 2” you can park your vehicle very close
to the kerb of the pavement ⇒page 134, fig. 146.
However, if you are parking, for example, next to a wall, you must
keep a greater distance to the side in order to avoid any collision
damage. Position the long side of the blue area marking in such a
way that there is sufficient distance to the kerb. The area marking
must NOT touch the kerb ⇒fig. 157.
You also have to steer in the opposite direction a lot earlier. This
means that the blue curve ⇒page 137, fig. 152 must not touch the
kerb - make sure there is a sufficient distance to the kerb ⇒.
WARNING
•
Please make sure you keep a sufficient distance between the
vehicle and any obstacles to make sure that the exterior mirror or
edge of the vehicle do not collide with the obstacle (accident risk).

HomeLinkUniversal transmitterApplies to vehicles: with HomeLinkDescription
The HomeLink universal transmitter can be programmed
to replace the hand-held controls of devices already in
use.HomeLink allows you to conveniently activate garage doors, estate
gates, security systems, home or office lighting and other electric
devices by means of control buttons inside your car.
HomeLink can replace up to three hand-held transmitters operating
existing devices on your property with a single universal trans-
mitter. This will be possible for most transmitters which control the
drive units for a garage door or external gates, etc. You can
programme the individual hand-held transmitters for your remote
control at or near the centre of the radiator grille. This is where the
control unit is located.
To be able to control systems with HomeLink, you need to perform
initial programming on the HomeLink transmitter first. If systems
fail to respond after the initial programming, check whether these
systems work with a "rolling code" (variable security code)
⇒page 146.
WARNING
When you are programming the HomeLink universal transmitter,
make sure that no persons or objects are close to the devices
receiving the transmitter signals. If a gate or door is inadvertently
set into motion during programming, persons might be injured or
other damage caused by moving parts.
