Users
General information
Applies to: vehicles with personalized user settings
Depending on vehicle equipment and your coun-
try, your vehicle may be able to manage various
users in the MMI. Each user will be assigned the
settings that they last used.
Before you begin driving, you can select a user in
the MMI and load personalized Infotainment and
vehicle settings.
Possible users in the MMI:
— myAudi user: as a myAudi user, you can use
Audi connect services that require a myAudi ac-
count. Certain settings are transferred online to
your myAudi account. If you log into your
myAudi account in another vehicle, you can
load your settings in the other vehicle.
— Local user: as a local user, you can only store
settings in the current vehicle. Your settings
cannot be transferred to other vehicles. Audi
connect services that can only be used with a
myAudi account will not be available.
— Guest: as a guest, you can store settings in the
vehicle without changing the settings for other
users. Audi recommends only using the guest
user temporarily, because settings can be over-
written by other users.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the following
options may be used to detect the active user so
that the user settings can be loaded automatical-
ly before you start driving.
— Vehicle key
Requirement: the driver's door has been opened.
The detected user must be shown in the MMI.
Confirm the user shown, select another user
= page 31, or add another user > page 31.

ZA WARNING
It may not be possible to load Infotainment
and vehicle settings, or they may only load
partially. The driver is always responsible for
the Infotainment and vehicle settings in order
to reduce the risk of an accident.

@) Tips
— Certain Infotainment and vehicle settings
(such as mirrors, last radio stations) may be
stored, depending on vehicle equipment.
You can find additional information in the
MMI. Select on the home screen: SETTINGS
> General > Legal notes > About Audi con-
nect.
— Applies to: myAudi users: The stored set-
tings can only be transferred to vehicles
that are capable of receiving the transmit-
ted information. There may be restrictions
that prevent this, particularly in other coun-
tries.
— Applies to: myAudi users: The settings can
only be transferred and loaded when there
is coverage from the applicable mobile
phone service provider.
— Applies to: myAudi users with PIN protec-
tion switched on: If the MMI displays a de-
tected user but you simply start driving or
wait without entering the 4-digit PIN, then
the guest user will be selected. Some set-
tings for the detected myAudi user will be
transferred to the guest user.

Central locking
(eT e e eeu)
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 sys-
tem: When the vehicle is locked from the
outside, no one - especially children - should
remain in the vehicle, because the windows
can no longer open from the inside
= page 37, 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 35. 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.

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 39 and > page 97.

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
If batteries or coin cell batteries are swal-
lowed or enter the body in any other way, they
can cause serious or fatal injuries within a
short period of time. There is a risk of chemi-
cal burns.
— Keep vehicle keys and key fobs with batter-
ies out of the reach of children.
— Keep new or used batteries away from chil-
dren.
— If the battery compartment on a vehicle key
does not close securely, stop using the key
and keep it away from children.
— Seek medical attention immediately if you
suspect that a battery was swallowed or has
entered the body in any other way.

@ For the sake of the environment
Discharged batteries must be disposed of us-
ing
methods that will not harm the environ-
ment. Do not dispose of them in household
trash.
G) Tips
Replacement batteries for the vehicle key
must meet the same specifications as the
original battery.
Luggage compartment
lid
General information

inside it. To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or around the vehi-
ley
—To reduce the risk of injuries by pinching,
make sure that no one is in the operating
area of the luggage compartment lid, in-
cluding the hinge areas and the upper and
lower edge of the luggage compartment lid.
— After closing the luggage compartment lid,
make sure that it is latched. The luggage
compartment lid could open suddenly while
driving, which would increase the risk of an
accident.
— Never drive with the luggage compartment
lid ajar or open, because poisonous gases
from the surrounding area can enter the ve-
hicle interior and increase the risk of asphyx-
iation.
— If there is a luggage rack (such as a bicycle
rack) on the luggage compartment lid, the
luggage compartment lid may not open
completely under certain circumstances or it
could close by itself if open due to the extra
weight. Therefore, the open luggage com-
partment lid must be given additional sup-
port or the cargo must first be removed
from the luggage rack.
— Applies to vehicles with power-operated or
sensor-controlled luggage compartment lid:
Pay careful attention when closing the lug-
gage compartment lid. Otherwise, you could
cause serious injury to yourself or others de-
spite the pinch protection.


ZA\ WARNING
— Applies to vehicles with anti-theft alarm sys-
tem: When the vehicle is locked from the
outside, no one - especially children - should
remain in the vehicle, because the windows
can no longer open from the inside
= page 37. Locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for emergency workers to enter the ve-
hicle, which puts lives at risk.
— Always close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid and the doors when the vehicle is
not in use. Otherwise someone such as a
child could enter the vehicle through the
luggage compartment and become locked

@) Note
The luggage compartment lid can bump into
objects such as the garage ceiling when open-
ing and become damaged.
@) Tips
— When the vehicle is locked, the luggage
compartment lid can be unlocked separately
by pressing the “S button twice on the vehi-
cle key. The luggage compartment lid locks
automatically when it is closed again.
— The ability to open the luggage compart-
ment lid using the handle can be deactivat-
ed or activated in the MMI > page 35.
