Replacing a key
If you should lose a key, please contact an Audi dealer. Have
the remote control coding for that
key deactivated. For this purpose you should bring all available
keys with you. It is also important to notify your insurance
company if a key has been lost.
Number of keys
You can check how many keys are initialised for your vehicle
using the MMI. To do this, select function selector button
CAR > control button
(Car)*
Systems > Servicing & checks
> Initialised keys. This feature
enables used car buyers to make sure they have received all
of the keys.
Electronic immobiliser
The immobiliser is designed to prevent unauthorised persons
from driving the vehicle.
It may not be possible to start the engine with the key if there
is another ignition key from a different make of vehicle on
the same key ring.
Data stored on remote control key
Data related to the service and maintenance of the vehicle are
stored continuously on your remote control key while you are
driving. Your Audi dealer can read out the data and will then
be able to tell you what service work is required. This also
applies to vehicles with convenience key*.
Personal convenience settings
If two people use the same car regularly, it is a good idea
for each person to have his or her "own" remote control key.
When you switch off the ignition or lock the vehicle, your personal
settings for the following convenience features are stored and
assigned to the remote control key:
- Air conditioner
- Central locking system
- Windows
- Background lighting*
- Memory function*
- Parking aid*
- Audi adaptive cruise control*
- Audi active lane assist*
- Audi side assist*
- Audi drive select
- night vision assist*
- Heating for steering wheel*
The stored settings are then recalled automatically the next
time the vehicle is unlocked, the doors are opened or the ignition
is switched on.
WARNING!
Always take the key with you when leaving the vehicle - even if
you only intend to be gone for a short time. This is especially
important if children are left in the car. They might otherwise
be able to start the engine or use power-operated equipment such
as the electric windows - this could lead to injuries.
Note
The function of the remote control key may be impaired by interference
from other nearby radio signals (for example from a mobile telephone
or TV transmitter) if these are in the same frequency range.
