- Depending on the mode l of the system, you
may need to re lease the button on the re­
mote control during programming and
press it aga in. Hold each position you try for
at least 15 seconds before trying another
posit ion . Keep the turn signals on your vehi ­
cle i n view when doing this.

1. Switch the ignition on .
2. Press and hold both outer buttons in the roof headliner
c;, page 49, fig. 44 until the LED @
turns off comp lete ly (after about 20 sec ­
onds). This procedure clears the standard co­
des that were set at the factory and does
not
need to be repeated again to p rogram the
other buttons .
3. Br iefly p ress the button on the roof head liner
that you wou ld like to p rog ram.
4. Wai t unti l the LED @ beg ins to b link quickly.
P rog ramming mode is active for S minutes .

7. Press and hold the remote control until the
turn sig nals on yo ur vehicle b link . This may
take up to 30 seconds .
8 . If th e emergen cy flashe rs bl ink three times,
the programm ing was s uccessful.
If the
emergency flashers on ly blink one time, the
5 minute t ime limit for t he p rogramming has
e nded o r the p rog ramming was not success­
fu l. Repeat the programming from the t hird
step, or try changing t he distance to the radi­
ator grille.

9 . If the garage door or other system does not
open using the buttons i n the roof headliner
even tho ugh the programming was success­
ful, the system may use a rolling code in­
stead of a fixed code.
Rolling code program ­
ming
must be perfo rmed c;, page 51.
The other two b uttons in the roof headliner can
be programmed according to the instruct io ns
above. Beg in with the third step.
Erasing button programming
The programmed buttons cannot be erased indi ­
vidually. They m ust all be erased together . Repro ­
gram the buttons if necessary .

Rolling code programming
Applies to vehicles: with garage door opener (Homelink)
Rolling code programming is also needed for
some systems .
Identifying a rolling code
~ Press and hold the button in the roof head liner
that was already programmed .
~ Watch the LED@ Q page 49, fig. 44. If the LED
blinks qu ickly, the systems (such as a garage
door) is equ ipped with a rolling code.
~ Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating the motor unit in a system
~ Locate the programming button on the sys­
tem's motor unit. The exact location and color of the button may vary depending on the brand
of the system.
~ Press the programm ing button on the garage
door opener motor unit (this will usually acti­
vate an "indicator" on the motor unit). You now
have approximately
30 seconds to program the
button in the roof headliner.
Programming the button in the roof
headliner
~ Press and hold the previously programmed but­
ton in the roof head liner for 2 seconds .
~ To end rolling code programming, press and
ho ld the button again for two seconds.
~ With some systems, the button may need to be
pressed a th ird time to end the programming
process .
After programming, the system should detect
the signal and beg in mov ing when the button in
the roof headliner is pressed. Now you may pro­
gram the other buttons as needed .
(D Tips
-The roll ing code can be programmed more
quick ly and more easily with the help of a
second person .
- If you have difficulty programming the roll­
i ng code, referring to the user guide for the
system may help.

Travel mode (Canada mod els )*
The headlig ht beam is asymme trical. T his pro­
vides stronger illum inat ion on the s ide of the
road on which you are drivi ng. If yo u are driving
in a country that drives on the opposite side of
the road from your own country, this will cause
glare for oncoming drivers. To prevent glare:
- Trave l mode must be se lected in vehicles with
Xenon headlights* .
- In vehicles with halogen headlights, ce rtain
areas of the headlight lenses must be covered
with waterproof adhesive covers that prevent
li ght from pass ing t hrough. For more informa­
tion, please see your authorized Audi dea le r or
autho rized repair facility .

@ -Windshield wiper off
(D-Interval mode. The windshield w iper auto­
matical ly activates when you drive 2 mph (4 km/
h). The higher the sensitivity of the rain sensor is
set (switch @ to the right), the earlier the wind­
shield w ipers react to moisture on the wind­
shield. In some models, you can switch rain sen­
sor mode off and switch intermittent mode on in
the MMI* . Select:
!CARI function button> Car

d roplets , the w indshield wiper performs one af­
terwipe operat ion after several seconds while
dr iving . You can switch this function off by mov-
Lights and Vision
ing the lever to position® within 10 seconds of
the afterwipe operation. The afterwipe function is reactivated the next t ime the ignition is switch ­
ed on.
T he rear wiper automat ica lly switches on when
the reverse gear is engaged and the front wind­ shield wipers are on and in operation.
Cleaning the headlights*. The headlight washer
system * operates only when the headlights are
on . If you move the lever to position ®, the
headlights are washed in interva ls .
@ -Wipe the rear window. The rear wipe r moves
about every 4 seconds.
(!) -Clean the rear window . Th e number of wiping
operations depends on how long the lever is held
in position 7.
_&. WARNING
-
- The rain sensor is only intended to assist the
driver . The driver is still responsible for
manually switching the wipers on according
to the visibility condit ions.
- The windshield may not be treated with wa­
ter-repelling windshield coating agents. Un­
favorable conditions, such as wetness, dark­ ness, low sun, can result in increased glare.
W iper blade chatter is also possible .
- Properly funct ion ing windshield wiper
blades are requ ired for a clear view and safe
driving.
(D Note
- In the case of frost, check whether the windshield wiper blades are frozen to the
windshield . Switching on the w indshield
wipers can damage the wiper blades!
- Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
w iper system must be sw itched off (lever in
position 0). This helps to prevent un inten­
tional switching on and damage to the
w indshield wiper system.
(D Tips
-The windshie ld wipers are switched off
when the ignit ion is turned off. Activate the
w indshield wipers after the ignition is ..,

switched back on by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position .
- Worn or dirty windshie ld wiper blades result
in streaking . This can affect the rain sensor
function . Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
- The washer fluid nozzles of the windshield
washer system are heated at low tempera­
tures when the ignit ion is on.
- When stopp ing temporarily, e.g. at a traffic
light, the set speed of the windshield wipers
i s automatically reduced by one speed.
