ZA\ WARNING
Follow the safety precautions > page 30.


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: VE-
HICLE > Settings & Service > Central locking.

compartment lid will be unlocked when unlock-
ing the vehicle.

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 f button.

Warm and cold

Warm and cold
Climate control system
One of the following options may be available,
depending on vehicle equipment:
— A deluxe automatic climate control system with
3 zones where the temperature, air distribu-
tion, and air supply can be set separately on the
left front side, the right front side, and in the
rear
— A deluxe automatic climate control system with
4 zones to individually adjust the temperature,
air distribution, and amount of ventilation at all
of the seats
The climate control system warms, cools, dehu-
midifies, and filters the air in the vehicle interior.
It is the most effective when the windows and
panoramic glass roof* are closed. If there is a
build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ventilation
can help to speed up the cooling process.
The climate control system automatically main-
tains a temperature once it has been set. In all
heating mode functions except defrost, the blow-
er only switches to a higher speed once the en-
gine coolant has reached a certain temperature.
@ For the sake of the environment
Energy can be saved by switching off the A/C
mode.
@) Tips
—To prevent interference with the heating or
cooling output and to prevent the windows
from fogging over, the air intake in front of
the windshield must be free of ice, snow,
and leaves.
— Condensation from the cooling system can
drip and form a puddle of water under the
vehicle. This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.
— The energy management system may tem-
porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating” or rear window defogger.

These systems are available again as soon as
the energy supply has been restored.
— Certain settings are stored automatically in
the active personal profile.

change. For example:
— If the lanes are narrow or if you are driving on
the edge of your lane. If this is the case, the
