Indicator lights overview
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on. They indicate functions or mal-
functions. Some warning and indicator lights
turn on when you switch the ignition on and must
turn off when the drive system is switched on or
while driving.

With some indicator lights, messages may ap-
pear and warning signals may sound. The indica-
tor lights and messages may be covered by other
displays. To show them again, select the second
tab for messages with the multifunction steering
wheel & page 13.
Some indicator lights in the display can display in
several colors.

ZA WARNING
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the key with you. This applies
particularly when children remain in the ve-
hicle. Otherwise, children could start the ve-
hicle or operate electrical equipment (such
as power windows), which increases the risk
of an accident.

— Applies to: vehicles with anti-theft alarm
system: When the vehicle is locked from the
outside, no one - especially children - should
remain in the vehicle, because the windows
can no longer be opened from the inside
= page 35, Anti-theft alarm system.
Locked doors make it more difficult for
emergency workers to enter the vehicle,
which puts lives at risk.
All doors and the luggage compartment lid can
be centrally unlocked and locked at once. You can
select in the MMI if the entire vehicle or only the
driver's door should unlock when unlocking the
vehicle > page 33. The turn signals flash twice
when you unlock the vehicle and flash once when
you lock the vehicle. If they do not flash when
locking, check if all doors and lids are closed.


Depending on the vehicle equipment, you may
have different options for centrally unlocking and
locking your vehicle.

Vehicle key
The term “vehicle key” refers to the remote con-
trol key or convenience key*. The convenience
key* is a remote control key with special func-
tions > page 37 and > page 93.
32
Power closing*
When closing a door or the luggage compart-
ment lid, you only have to let it fall lightly into
the latch. It then closes automatically > A.
Automatic locking
If you unlock the vehicle but then do not open
any of the doors, the luggage compartment, or
the hood within a short period time, the vehicle
locks again automatically. This feature prevents
the vehicle from being accidentally left unlocked
for a long period of time.
Automatic locking (Auto Lock)
The Auto Lock function locks all doors and the
luggage compartment lid once the speed has ex-
ceeded approximately 9 mph (15 km/h). The ve-
hicle will unlock again if the unlock function in
the central locking switch is pressed, the “P” gear
is engaged, or the ignition is switched off.
You can open the doors individually from the in-
side by pulling the door handle one time. To open
the rear doors individually, you must pull the
door handle twice.
In the event of a crash with airbag deployment,
the doors will also automatically unlock to allow
access to the vehicle.
Unintentionally locking yourself out
Only lock your vehicle when all of the doors and
the luggage compartment lid are closed and
there is no key in the vehicle. This reduces the
risk of locking yourself out accidentally.
The
following features help to reduce the risk of
locking your vehicle key in the vehicle:
— If the driver's door is open, the vehicle cannot
be locked by pressing the @ button on the re-
mote control key or by touching the locking
sensor* on a door.
— If the vehicle key that was used most recently is
inside the luggage compartment, the luggage
compartment lid will automatically open again
after it closes > ©.
— If the vehicle key that was last used is detected
inside the vehicle, then the vehicle cannot be
locked from the outside > ©.

ZA\ WARNING
Follow the safety precautions > page 32.


Z\ WARNING
Applies to: vehicles with power closing
—To reduce the risk of injury, make sure that
the
area where the door is closing is clear
during the closing process.
— The closing process can be stopped at any
time by pulling on the outer or inner door
handle.

@) Note
The following applies when locking the vehi-
cle:
— If the vehicle key that was last used is de-
tected inside the passenger compartment,
then the vehicle cannot be locked from the
outside using the sensor. Take the vehicle
key with you and lock the vehicle again. Oth-
erwise, the vehicle will not be protected
against unauthorized access.
— If you try to lock the vehicle using the but-
ton on the vehicle key while the front pas-
senger's or rear door is open, and you acci-
dentally place the vehicle key inside the pas-
senger compartment and close the door,
the vehicle will lock at first. But if the key-
less system detects a vehicle key inside the
vehicle after it locks, then the vehicle will
unlock again. The turn signals will flash sev-
eral times to indicate this. If you do not
open the vehicle to remove the vehicle key
within a brief period, then the vehicle will
lock automatically. This prevents the vehicle
from being left unlocked for long periods of
time. The vehicle key will then be locked in-
side the vehicle.
— If the luggage compartment lid closes and
the system detects that the last vehicle key
that was used is inside the luggage com-
partment, then the luggage compartment
lid will open again. The turn signals will
flash several times to indicate this. The
doors will lock. Always take the vehicle key
with you, or unauthorized persons may be
able to enter the vehicle.
@) Tips
— Do not leave valuables unattended in the ve-
hicle. A locked vehicle is not a safe!
—The LED in the driver's door rail blinks when
you lock the vehicle. If the LED turns on for
approximately 30 seconds after locking,
there is a malfunction in the central locking
system. Have the problem corrected by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
Setting the central locking system
You can adjust the central locking system to your
preferences. The settings depend on the vehicle
equipment.
> Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen:
VEHICLE > Settings & Service > Central lock-
ing.
Door unlocking
—If you select All, all doors and the luggage
compartment lid will be unlocked when unlock-
ing the vehicle.
— If you select Driver's door, only the driver's
door will be unlocked. To unlock all doors and
the luggage compartment lid, press the &@ but-
ton on the vehicle key twice. In vehicles with a
convenience key”, only the driver's door will un-
lock when you pull the driver's door handle. If
you pull another door handle, the entire vehicle
will be unlocked.
The entire vehicle will always be locked when you
press the & button.
Long press to open windows
You can select if all windows and the panoramic
glass roof* should open using the vehicle key

you press and hold the fj button on the vehicle
key, all of the windows and the panoramic glass
roof* will close.
