Key / vehicle key
The term “key” may refer to the remote control key or convenience key*,
a mobile device with the Audi connect key* or the activated Audi connect key card*.
Turn signals
The turn signals will flash twice when the vehicle is unlocked and once when the vehicle is locked. If the turn signals do not flash, one of the doors, the bonnet or the boot lid is still open.
The Auto Lock function locks the doors and the boot lid when the vehicle exceeds a speed of about 15 km/h.
The vehicle is unlocked again immediately when the unlock button in the central locking switch is pressed or one of the inside door handles is pulled.
In the event of an accident in which the airbags inflate, the doors will be automatically unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.
When you lock the vehicle, the central locking system will lock the doors and the boot lid. When you unlock the vehicle, the central locking system will unlock either the driver s door only, or all the locks on the vehicle, depending on the setting you have selected on the infotainment system link►.
Accidental lock-out
To prevent yourself from being locked out, only lock the vehicle when there are no keys in the vehicle and all of the doors and the boot lid are closed.
The central locking system prevents you from being locked out of the vehicle in the following situations:
- When the driver s door is open, you cannot lock the vehicle by pressing the
button on the vehicle key or touching the locking sensor* on one of the doors. - The boot lid will spring open again automatically if the convenience key* that was last in use is left inside the boot when the boot lid is closed.
- If the most recently used convenience key* is detected in the vehicle, it is not possible to lock the vehicle from the outside for a moment ►.
It is not possible to detect an Audi connect key* or an Audi connect key card in the vehicle.
- Always switch off the ignition and take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. 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.
- Locked doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk. Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the vehicle.
Applies to: vehicles with convenience key
- If the most recently used convenience key is detected in the passenger compartment, it is not possible to lock the vehicle from the outside. The turn signals flash several times to indicate this. However, if you do not open the vehicle and take out the convenience key within a short period of time, the vehicle will be locked automatically (this prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked indefinitely). In this case, the key will be locked inside the passenger compartment.
- The boot lid cannot be locked and will spring open again if the convenience key* that was last in use is detected inside the boot. The turn signals flash several times to indicate this. The doors will be locked. Take the convenience key with you; otherwise the vehicle will not be secure.
Note
- Never leave any valuable items in the vehicle unattended. Even a locked vehicle is not a safe.
- When you lock the vehicle, the LED on the driver s window sill flashes. If the LED is still on about 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked, the central locking system is not working properly. You should have the malfunction repaired by a qualified workshop.
