WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the car if it is locked
from the outside and the deadlock mechanism is activated: the
doors and windows cannot then be opened from the inside.
Locked doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially
putting lives at risk.
Note
•
Never leave any valuable items in the vehicle unattended. Even a
locked vehicle is not a safe.
•
If the diode on the driver's window sill lights up for about 30
seconds when the vehicle is locked, the central locking system or
anti-theft alarm* is not working properly. Please have the malfunc-
tion repaired by an Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
•
The interior monitor of the anti-theft alarm* system will only
function as intended if the windows and the tilting panorama roof*
are closed.
Setting the central locking system
You can use the sound system or MMI* to select which
doors are unlocked by the central locking system.
– Select: Function selector button > Central locking.In the Central locking menu you can specify which doors you wish
to have unlocked when you unlock the vehicle using the remote
control key or the advanced key*. For example, if you select off for
the passenger's door, this door will no longer be included in the
central locking function and will not be unlocked when you press
the unlock button on the remote control key once.
You can still unlock both of the doors and the boot lid. To do so,
press the unlock button twice on the remote control key.
When you lock the vehicle, the central locking system will automat-
ically lock both of the doors and the boot lid together.
If you select “Locking boot lid/tailgate” on, you can no longer open
the luggage compartment using the handle on the boot lid
⇒page 48, fig. 43. In this case, you can open the boot lid using the
button on the remote control key ⇒fig. 36 or the unlock switch
on the driver's door ⇒page 48, fig. 42.

WARNING
The automatic headlights are only intended to assist the driver.
The driver must always ensure that the headlights are used when
required, and may have to switch them on manually when the light
conditions or visibility are poor. For example, the light sensors are
not able to detect fog. Therefore, you should always switch on the
headlights
in these conditions and when driving after dark.
Note
•
The light sensor for automatic headlight control is located in the
mounting for the interior mirror. Do not affix any stickers on this
section of the windscreen to avoid malfunctioning of the sensor.
•
The default sensitivity of the light sensor, which is set at the
factory, can be changed in the MMI menu Auto headlights
⇒page 56.
•
If the lights are left on after the key has been taken out of the
ignition lock, a buzzer sounds when the driver's door is opened.
•
The use of the lighting described here is subject to the relevant
statutory requirements.
•
The coming home/leaving home function is active only when the
light switch is set to AUTO.
Fog lights– Press button ⇒fig. 51 to switch on the front fog lights

Applies to vehicles: with sun blindSun blind
A sun blind is provided for the rear window.Sun blind (rear window)
– Press the switch
to extend or retract the electric sun
blind for the rear window ⇒fig. 61 or ⇒fig. 62.
If you have selected the Automatic rear blind function on in the MMI
the raised sun blind will be retracted automatically when reverse
gear is engaged ⇒page 51. In this way, the rear blind will not
obstruct your vision when reversing. The rear blind returns to its
raised position when reverse gear is disengaged and the vehicle is driven forwards at a speed above about 15 km/h. The current setting
is automatically stored and assigned to the remote control key.
If the rear blind was rolled in automatically when reversing and then
the ignition was switched off and on again, the blind will not roll
back out again when you select a forward gear and the speed
exceeds 15 km/h. You will then have to press the button
on the
centre console to extend the blind again.
The sun blind for the rear window switches off automatically when
it reaches the end position. It can be made to move in the other
direction before it reaches its end position by briefly pressing the
switch a second time. If the ignition is turned off while the blind is
still moving, it continues until it reaches the end position before
switching off.
Note
•
An overload cut-out may be activated if the sun blind is operated
repeatedly. There will then be a short delay before the blind can be
operated again.
•
As the material of the sun blind is less flexible at low tempera-
tures the electric actuator is switched off when the temperature in
the car is below -5°C. The blind can only be operated when the
temperature in the car's interior rises above this level.

Technical data Memory for exterior mirrors*
On vehicles with memory function for the driver's seat, the setting
of the exterior mirrors is automatically stored together with the seat
position ⇒page 72.
Tilting function for exterior mirror on passenger side*
(only if equipped with memory for exterior mirrors)
When reverse gear is engaged, the mirror surface tilts slightly
downwards, provided the mirror control is switched to the exterior
mirror on the passenger's side (knob in position ⇒page 66,
fig. 68). This provides a better view of the kerb when parking.
The mirror returns to its original position when reverse gear is
disengaged and the vehicle is driven forwards at a speed above
about 15 km/h. The mirror will also return to its original position
when the adjuster knob is turned to the position for the driver's
exterior mirror or when the ignition is switched off.
If the position of the mirror surface is changed while the mirror is
tilted, this new position is automatically stored and assigned to the
remote control key when you disengage reverse gear.
Caution
•
Convex or wide-angle* exterior mirrors give a larger field of
vision. However, they also make objects appear further away than
they actually are. For this reason, you should not rely on these
mirrors for judging the distance of vehicles behind.
•
If one of the mirror housings is knocked out of position (e.g.
when parking), the mirrors must first be fully retracted with the elec-
tric control. Do not readjust the mirror housing by hand, as this will
interfere with the mirror adjuster function.Note
If the electrical adjustment should ever fail to operate, the mirrors
can be adjusted by hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mirror
glass.
Applies to vehicles: with automatic anti-dazzle adjustment for exterior mirrorsAutomatic anti-dazzle adjustment for exterior mirrorsThe exterior mirrors darken together with the automatically
adjusting interior mirror. When the ignition is on, the mirrors will
darken automatically according to the amount of light received (for
example from the headlights of a vehicle behind).
When the interior lights are switched on, or when reverse gear is
engaged, the mirrors revert to their original (i.e. not darkened)
condition.
WARNING
Electrolyte fluid can leak from a broken mirror. This fluid can cause
irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory organs. Wash thor-
oughly with clean water should you come into contact with this
fluid. Seek medical assistance if needed.
Caution
Electrolyte fluid leaking from a broken mirror can cause damage to
the paintwork or plastic surfaces. Use a sponge or similar to remove
the fluid as soon as possible.
Note
•
If you switch off the anti-dazzle function for the interior mirror,
this will also deactivate the anti-dazzle function for the exterior
mirrors.
•
The automatic anti-dazzle function will only work properly if the
sun blind* for the rear window is not in use and there are no other
objects preventing light from reaching the interior mirror.
