Doors and windowsRemote control keysSet 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.

Exterior mirrors
The exterior mirrors are adjusted electrically.Adjusting exterior mirrors
– Turn the adjuster knob to position (left exterior mirror)
or position (right exterior mirror) ⇒fig. 69.
– Move the knob as required to adjust the exterior mirror
for a good rearward view.
Heated mirrors
– Turn the knob to position .
Retracting both exterior mirrors*
– Turn the knob to position .The mirrors are heated depending on the outside temperature until
the ignition is switched off, even if the knob is no longer in position
.
It may be advisable to retract* the exterior mirrors to protect them
when parking or when driving through tight spaces.Memory for exterior mirrors*
On vehicles with memory function for the driver's seat, the setting
of the exterior mirrors is automatically stored together with the seat
position ⇒page 74.
Tilting function for exterior mirror on passenger side*
(only if equipped with memory for exterior mirrors)
When reverse gear is engaged, the mirror surface tilts slightly
downwards, provided the mirror control is switched to the exterior
mirror on the passenger's side (knob in position ⇒fig. 69). This
provides a better view of the kerb when parking.
The mirror returns to its original position when reverse gear is
disengaged and the vehicle is driven forwards at a speed above
about 15 km/h. The mirror will also return to its original position
when the adjuster knob is turned to the position for the driver's
exterior mirror or when the ignition is switched off.
If the position of the mirror surface is changed while the mirror is
tilted, this new position is automatically stored and assigned to the
remote control key when you disengage reverse gear.
Caution
•
Convex or wide-angle* exterior mirrors give a larger field of
vision. However, they also make objects appear further away than
they actually are. For this reason, you should not rely on these
mirrors for judging the distance of vehicles behind.
•
If one of the mirror housings is knocked out of position (e.g.
when parking), the mirrors must first be fully retracted with the elec-
tric control. Do not readjust the mirror housing by hand, as this will
interfere with the mirror adjuster function.Note
If the electrical adjustment should ever fail to operate, the mirrors
can be adjusted by hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mirror
glass.

Seats and storage 74When the front seats are moved forward, their original positions are
stored in a memory. The seats then stop automatically in this posi-
tion when they are moved back. If you want to move one of the seats
back further, release the switch and press it again.
The head restraints on the front seats retract automatically
(depending on the seat height setting) when the backrests are
tipped forward, and move back to their original positions when the
backrests are returned to the upright position.

the driver's or passenger's doors are closed.Seat memoryApplies to vehicles: with seat memoryMemory for driver's seat

stored and assigned to the remote control key. However, the
settings assigned to the remote control key will not overwrite the
settings stored on recall buttons 1 and 2. The settings stored on the
recall buttons can be called up at any time. When you unlock the
vehicle, the settings assigned to the remote control key are recalled
automatically.

control key, it is advisable to store your personal settings on one of
the recall buttons. You can then recall your own settings at any time
simply by pressing the corresponding recall button. When you lock
the vehicle these settings are then stored automatically and
assigned once again to the remote control key.
