The Audi A6 can be locked and unlocked via the central locking system. You can use any of the following:
Turn signals
The turn signals will flash twice when the Audi A6 is unlocked and once when the Audi A6 is locked. If the turn signals do not flash, one of the doors, the boot lid or the bonnet is still open or the ignition is still on.
Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)
The Auto Lock function locks the doors and the boot lid when the Audi A6 exceeds a speed of about 15 km/h.
The Audi A6 is unlocked again immediately when the unlock button in the central locking switch is pressed or one of the inside door handles is pulled. The Auto Lock function can be switched on and off on the infotainment system ►Link.
In the event of an accident in which the airbags inflate, the doors will be automatically unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.
Selecting which doors are unlocked with the remote control
When you lock the Audi A6, the central locking system will lock the doors and the boot lid. When you unlock the Audi A6, the central locking system will unlock either the driver's door only, or all the locks on the Audi A6, depending on the setting you have selected on the infotainment system ►Link.
Accidental lock-out
The central locking system prevents you from being locked out of the Audi A6 in the following situations:
- When the driver's door is open, you cannot lock the Audi A6 by pressing the
button on the remote control key or touching the locking sensor* on one of the doors. - When one of the doors is open, it cannot be locked together with the other doors by pressing the button in the central locking switch and then closing the door ►Link.
- On Audi A6s with convenience key*, the boot lid will be released again automatically if the key that was last in use is left inside the boot when the boot lid is closed. The hazard warning lights will flash four times.
To prevent yourself from being locked out, do not lock the Audi A6 with the remote control key/convenience key* until all of the doors and the boot lid are closed.
Power-close function on doors*
The Audi A6 doors are equipped with a power-close function. When closing one of the doors, just push the door gently so that it falls into the latch. The door will now close automatically WARNING!.
Applies to Audi A6s with power-close function* on the doors:
- When closing, make sure that nothing obstructs the doors - risk of injury!
- You can stop the closing function at any time by pulling on the outer or inner door handle.
Note
- Never leave any valuable items in the Audi A6 unattended. Even a locked Audi A6 is not a safe.
- When you lock the Audi A6, the LED on the driver's window sill flashes. If the LED is still on about 30 seconds after the Audi A6 is locked, the central locking system is not working properly. You should have the malfunction repaired by a qualified workshop.
