Automatic locking*
The automatic locking feature locks all the vehicle doors and the
rear lid when you drive faster than 8 mph (13 km/h).
You can unlock the vehicle from the inside by:
• removing the key from the ignition switch (the vehicle will auto-
matically unlock itself) or
• pressing the unlock part of the power lock switch A or
pulling the door handle (twice to open the door).
If you wish, you can have an authorized Audi dealer convert your
power door lock system to automatic locking.
Remote control
General description
The remote control allows you to lock or unlock the
vehicle electronically.
The remote controls allows you to:
• lock or unlock the vehicle
• unlock the rear lid
The turn signals will blink whenever you lock or unlock the vehicle.
Also, the interior light will come on or go off whenever you open or
close the driver's door.
The transmitter and battery are located in the head of the remote
control. The receiver is located inside the vehicle. The maximum
effective range depends on several things. Remember, if the battery
is weak, the effective range decreases.
The remote control key contains a folded up key. You have to unfold
the key first in order to lock or unlock the vehicle or to start the
engine.
If you need to replace the remote control, or if you need to have it
repaired, you must see your authorized Audi dealer. Only then can
you use the key again.
Note
• If the ignition is switched on, the remote control system is deac-
tivated.
• The remote control system can be affected by other systems
operating in the same frequency range close to the vehicle, such as
mobile telephones, television broadcasting stations, etc.
WARNING
• When you lock your vehicle from outside, nobody - especially
children - should remain inside the vehicle. Remember, when you
lock the vehicle from the outside the windows cannot be opened
from the inside
• When you leave the vehicle, always remove the ignition key
and take it with you. This will prevent passengers (children, for
exa mple) from ac cidentall y being locked in the vehi cle shou ld they
accidentally press the power locking switch on the center
console.
• Do not leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised. In an
emergency it would be impossible to open the doors from the
outside without the key.
