Caution
Never run the tank completely dry. The irregular supply of fuel can
cause misfiring, which would allow unburnt fuel to enter the
exhaust system. This can lead to overheating and damage to the
catalytic converter.Warning and indicator lampsOverview

Doors and windows
42Doors and windowsCentral locking systemDescriptionThe vehicle can be locked and unlocked via the central locking
system. You can use any of the following:•
Remote control key ⇒page 47
•
Door handles in conjunction with advanced key* ⇒page 47
•
Lock on driver's door ⇒page 48
•
Interior central locking switch ⇒page 49
Unlocking one side of the vehicle only
When you lock the vehicle, the central locking system will lock the
doors and the boot lid. When you unlock the vehicle, the central
locking system will unlock either the driver's door only, or all the
locks on the vehicle, depending on the setting you have selected on
the sound system or MMI* ⇒page 50 .
Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)
The Auto Lock function locks the doors and the boot lid when the
vehicle exceeds a speed of about 15 km/h.
The vehicle is unlocked again when the ignition key is removed.
Alternatively, the vehicle can al so be unlocked via the central
locking switch or by pulling one of the inside door handles. The Auto
Lock function can be switched on and off on the sound system or
MMI* ⇒page 50 .
In the event of an accident in which the airbags inflate, the doors
will be automatically unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.
Deadlock mechanism
The central locking system is combined with a deadlock mecha-
nism. Once the vehicle has been locked from the outside, the door handles on the inside are deactivated. This makes it more difficult
to break into the vehicle.
Anti-theft alarm system*
If the anti-theft alarm system senses interference with the vehicle it
triggers an audible and visible alarm.
The anti-theft alarm system switches on automatically when the
vehicle is locked. It switches off automatically if you unlock the
vehicle using the
remote control.
If you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key in the driver's door, the
ignition must be switched on within 15 seconds, otherwise the
alarm will be triggered. On some export versions, the alarm is trig-
gered immediately when you open a door.
To deactivate the alarm, press th e unlock button on the remote
control key or switch on the ignition . The alarm will also switch itself
off when it comes to the end of its cycle.
Switch off the interior monitor and tow-away protection if you wish
to prevent the alarm from being triggered accidentally ⇒page 50 .
Turn signals
The turn signals will flash twice when the vehicle is unlocked and
once when the vehicle is locked. If the turn signals do not flash, one
of the doors, the bonnet or the boot lid is still open.
Accidental lock-out
The central locking system prevents you from being locked out of
the vehicle in the following situations:
•
When the driver's door is open, it cannot be locked together with
the other doors by pressing the central locking switch and then
closing the door ⇒ page 49.
•
On vehicles with advanced key*, the boot lid will be released
again automatically if the remote co ntrol key that was last in use is
left inside the boot when the boot lid is closed ⇒page 51 .

Technical data
Audi lane assistAudi lane assistApplies to vehicles: with lane assistDescription
The lane assist system assist s the driver in keeping the
vehicle in the right lane.The system uses a camera to detect the markings of the lane you are
driving in. If the vehicle approaches one of the detected lane mark-
ings, the steering wheel vibrates to warn the driver that the vehicle
might be about to cross one of the markings. The lane assist system
is functional when it has detected lane markings on both sides of
the lane you are driving in. The green lamp
in the instrument
cluster indicates that the function is activated and fully functional.
If you operate the turn signal before crossing one of the lane mark-
ings (while the lane assist system is functional), the system will
detect that the lane change is in tended and will not warn the driver.
As the system is designed for driving on motorways and other major
roads, it is only active above a speed of about 65 km/h.
WARNING
•
The lane assist system does not keep the vehicle in its lane. It
merely warns the driver when the vehicle is in danger of crossing
the markings of the lane. As the driver you are always responsible
for staying in your own lane.
•
The camera cannot det ect all lane markings. Therefore it is
possible that variations in the road surface or objects might be
detected as lane markings, which can lead to false warnings, or
warnings not being given.
•
The camera's view might be obst ructed, for example by vehi-
cles travelling in front, rain, snow, a lot of water on the road or adverse light. This can result in
the system not detecting the lane
markings correctly.
Applies to vehicles: with lane assistSwitching on and off– Press the button ⇒fig. 158 -arrow- to switch the system
on and off. The indicator lamp
in the instrument
cluster will light up or go out.

Audi side assistLane change assist featureApplies to vehicles: with side assistDescription
The side assist function assists the driver when changing
lanes.The side assist function employs radar sensors ⇒fig. 163 to assist
the driver in monitoring following traffic and the blind spots on both
sides of the car ⇒page 151, fig. 166. Warning lamps are incorporated in the two exterior mirrors
⇒
fig. 164. The warning lamp on the left-hand mirror assists the
driver when changing lane towards the left and the warning lamp
on the right-hand mirror assists the driver when changing lane
towards the right.
When one of these lamps lights up, this is to inform you that the
side assist has detected a vehicle on that side and calculates that a
lane change would be critical. This is the first stage of the warning,
referred to as the information mode ⇒ page 151 . This stage of the
warning is designed to be visible only when you look in the exterior
mirror.
If you operate the turn signal when the side assist has registered
what it judges to be a critical vehicle, the lamp on th e exterior mirror
will then flash several times with greater intensity. This is the
warning mode ⇒ page 151 .
