Indicator lights overview
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on. They indicate functions or mal-
functions.
With some indicator lights, messages may ap-
pear and warning signals may sound. The indica-
tor lights and messages may be covered by other
displays. To show them again, select the second
tab for messages with the multifunction steering
wheel © page 12.
Some indicator lights in the display can display in
several colors.
Some indicator lights turn on briefly as a function
check when you switch the ignition on. These sys-
tems are marked with a V in the following tables.
If one of these indicator lights does not turn on,
there is a malfunction in that system.
The following indicator lights may be available,
depending on the vehicle equipment:

Instrument cluster

— The front spoiler also helps to distribute
cooling air correctly while driving. If the
spoiler is damaged, the cooling effect will
be impaired and the risk of the engine over-
heating will increase. See an authorized Au-
di dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
for assistance.
Tachometer
The tachometer (2) > page 10, fig. 3 displays the
engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
The beginning of the red zone in the tachometer
indicates the maximum permissible engine speed
for all gears once the engine has been broken in.
Before reaching the red zone, you should shift in-
to the next higher gear, choose the "D" or "S" se-
lector lever position, or remove your foot from
the accelerator pedal.
Engine speed limitation
Applies to: vehicles with engine speed limitation
If the BB indicator light turns on, the engine will
be automatically limited to the RPM displayed in
the instrument cluster. This protects the engine
from overheating.
The engine speed limitation deactivates once the
engine is no Longer in the critical temperature
range and you have released the accelerator ped-
al once.
If the engine speed limitation was activated by
an engine control malfunction, the B indicator
light also turns on. Make sure the engine speed
does not go above the speed displayed, for exam-
ple when downshifting. Drive to an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility im-
mediately to have the malfunction corrected.
@) Note
The needle in the tachometer may only be in
the red area of the gauge for a short period of
time before there is a risk of damaging the
engine. The location where the red zone be-
gins varies depending on the engine.
Odometer

Fig. 4 Instrument cluster: odometer and reset button
The trip odometer and odometer are displayed in
the status line ©) > page 10, fig. 3.
The trip odometer shows the distance driven
since it was last reset. It can be used to measure
short distances. The odometer shows the total
distance that the vehicle has been driven.
Resetting the trip odometer

> Press the reset button [0-9] on the instrument
cluster. The trip odometer will be reset to zero.
@) Tips
Distances are displayed in mi (miles) or km
(kilometers).

Outside temperature
display
The outside temperature is displayed in the sta-
tus line ® page 10, fig. 3.
If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driving at
very low speeds, the temperature displayed in
the instrument cluster may be slightly higher
than the actual temperature outside due to heat
radiating from the engine.
At temperatures below 41 °F (+5 °C), a snowflake
symbol appears in front of the temperature dis-
play > A.

ZA\ WARNING
Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outside temperature display. Be aware
that there may be ice on roads even when the

Fig. 11 Your vehicle key set
@ Remote or convenience key*
The convenience key* is a remote control key with
special functions > page 24 and > page 57.
You can unlock/lock your vehicle with the remote
control key. A mechanical key is integrated in the
remote control key > page 23.
@ Key tag with vehicle code*
The vehicle code* on the key tag can be rubbed
off. It does not have a function.
Replacing a key
If a key is lost, see an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility. Have this key de-
activated. It is important to bring all keys with
you. If a key is lost, you should report it to your
insurance company.
Number of keys
You can check the number of keys assigned to
your vehicle in the Infotainment system. To do
this, select the [MENU] button > Vehicle > left
control button > Service & checks > Vehicle in-
formation. This way, you can make sure that you
have all the keys when purchasing a used vehicle.


Electronic immobilizer
The immobilizer prevents unauthorized use of
the vehicle.
Under certain circumstances, the vehicle may not
be able to start if there is a remote control key
from a different vehicle manufacturer on the key
chain.
22
Data in the master key
When driving, service and maintenance-relevant
data is continuously stored in your remote con-
trol key. Your Audi service advisor can read out
this data and tell you about the work your vehicle
needs. This applies also to vehicles with a con-
venience key*.
Personal convenience settings
If two people use one vehicle, it is recommended
that each person always uses “their own” master
key. When the ignition is turned off or when the
vehicle is locked, personal convenience settings
for the following systems are stored and as-
signed to the remote master key.
— Climate control system
— Parking aid*
— Active lane assist*
— Side assist*
— Drive select
The stored settings are automatically recalled
when you unlock the vehicle, open the doors or
turn on the ignition.

ZA WARNING
If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition off
and take the vehicle key with you. This applies
particularly when children remain in the vehi-
cle. Otherwise the children could start the en-
gine or operate electrical equipment such as
power windows.

() Note
Protect the remote control key against high
temperatures and direct sunlight.
@) For the sake of the environment
XX Do not dispose of remote control keys in
household trash. They contain materials that
can be recycled. Contact an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for
more information.
G) Tips
— The operation of the remote control key can
be temporarily disrupted by interference >

8S58012721BA
Opening and closing

> Press the ff lock button on the convenience key
and touch the sensor on the door handle (driv-
er's door) one time within five seconds of press-
ing the button > fig. 16. Do not grasp the door
handle while locking the vehicle, or else the ve-
hicle will not lock.
> To check if the function has been deactivated,
wait at least 10 seconds and pull the door han-
dle again. The door should not open.
After that, it will only be possible to unlock the
vehicle using the remote control key or by me-
chanically unlocking the lock cylinder. Keyless ac-
cess will be active again after the next time the
vehicle is locked/unlocked.
You can unlock/lock the vehicle at every door. The
convenience key must no be more than approxi-
mately 5 feet (1.5 m) away from the door handle.
The function should not be impaired if the con-
venience key is in your jacket pocket or in your
briefcase, for example.
If you hold the door handle while locking, this
can impair the locking function.
The door cannot be opened for a brief period di-
rectly after locking it. This way you have the op-
portunity to check if the doors locked correctly.
The settings in the Infotainment system deter-
mine if the entire vehicle or only one of the doors
is unlocked when unlocking the vehicle
=> page 26.


ZA\ WARNING
No one, especially children, should stay in the
vehicle when it is locked from the outside, be-
cause the windows can no longer be opened
from the inside > page 27. Locked doors
make it more difficult for emergency workers
to get into the vehicle, which puts lives at risk.

Z\ WARNING
Read and following all WARNINGS. > A in
Key set on page 22

@) Tips
If your vehicle is left standing for a long peri-
od
of time, note the following:
—To prevent the vehicle battery from dis-
charging, the energy management gradual-
ly switches off convenience functions that
are not needed. You then may no longer be
able to unlock your vehicle with the sensors.
— For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see
=> page 283.
