Central locking
Description
You can lock and un lock the veh icle centrally . You
have the following options:
-Remote control key <=> page 36, or
-Sensors in the front door handles"
<=>page 36, or
-Lock cylinder on the driver's door<=> page 38,
or
-Interior central locking switch <=> page 3 7.
Tu rn sign als
The turn s ignals flash tw ice when you unlock the
vehicle and flash once when you lock the vehicle.
I f they do not f lash, then the ignition may still be
sw itched on or one of the doors , the luggage
compartment, or the hood may be open, for ex­
ample.
Autom atic locking (Auto Lock )
The Auto Lock funct ion locks all doors and the
luggage compartment lid once the speed has ex­
ceeded approx imately 9 mph (15 km/h).
The vehicle will unlock aga in if the ign ition key is
removed, the opening function in the centra l
lock ing switch is act ivated, or one of the door
handles is operated. The Auto Lock f unct ion can
be switched on and off in the Infotainment sys­
tem <=>
page 38.
In the event of a crash with a irbag deployment,
the doors will a lso automat ica lly unlock to allow
access to the vehicle.
Selective door unlocking
The doors and luggage compartment lid w ill lock
when they close. You can set in the Infotainment
system whether
only the driver's door or the en­
tire ve hicle should be unlocked when unlocking
<=> page 38.
Unintentionally locking yourse lf out
Only lock your vehicle when all of the doors and
the luggage compartment lid a re closed and the
34
remote control key is not in the vehicle. This
helps to prevent you from locking yourself out
accidenta lly.
The following conditions prevent yo u from lock­
ing you r remote control key in the vehicle:
-If the driver's door is open, the vehicle cannot
be locked by press ing the
Iii button on the re­
mote contro l key or touching the locking sen ­
sor* on a doo r.
-If the most recently used convenience key* is in
the luggage compartment, the luggage com­
partment lid automatically unlocks again after
closing it.
-If the convenience key* that was last used is de ­
tected inside the vehicle, then the vehicle will
not be ab le to lock from the outside.
A WARNING
-Always take the veh icle key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short period
of t ime. This applies part icularly when chil­
dren remain in the vehicle . Otherwise the
children could start the eng ine or ope rate
electrical equipmen t such as power win­
dows.
- No one, especially ch ildren, should stay in
the vehicle when it is loc ked from the out­
side, because the windows can no longer be
opened from the
inside ¢ page 38. Locked
doors make it more difficu lt for emergency
workers to get into the vehicle, which puts
lives at risk.
(D Tips
-Do not leave va luables unattended in the ve­
hicle. A locked vehicle is not a safe!
-T he LED in the driver's door rail blinks when
you lock the vehicle. If the LED lights up for
approximate ly 30 seconds after locking,
there is a malfunction in the centra l locking
system . Have the problem corrected by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Aud i
Service Facility.

Power top
Power top
Automatic power top
General information
Applies to: veh icles with power top
The power top opens and closes automatically.
When open, the power top is stored complete ly
in the power top compartmen t. The power top
can be opened or closed at speeds up to 30 mph
(SO km/h).
Under normal conditions, the powe r top is wind­
and waterproof. In rare cases, small droplets of
water may form under extreme weather condi­
tions such as torrential or prolonged rain. That is norma l and no cause for concern .
Follow the care instruct ions to keep the power
top free of leaks and to maintain its appearance
¢ page 347, Care and cleaning. Also observe the
following:
-Open and stow the power top only when it is
clean and dry. Sharp-edged dirt particles ca n
cause damage to the rear window and the pow­
er top . Stowing the power top when it is damp
can create imprints in it, and if it is left that
way for long periods of time, mildew and other
damage can form .
- Do not leave the power top open for severa l
weeks or the creases in it may become discol­
ored.
- Remove ice and snow before opening the power
top. Do not use any sharp edged objects to re­
move ice and snow or the power top could be
scratched or damaged . The rear window may be
cleared with a standard ice scraper.
- Do not open the power top when the tempera­
ture is be low 32 °F (0 °C) . The fabric in the
power top loses elasticity in sub- zero tempera­
tures.
