The Audi Q7 can be locked and unlocked via the central locking system. You can use any of the following:
- Remote control key link►
- Sensors in the door handles* link►
- Lock on driver s door link►
- Interior central locking switch link►
Turn signals
The turn signals will flash twice when the Audi Q7 is unlocked and once when the Audi Q7 is locked. If the turn signals do not flash, one of the doors, the bonnet or the boot lid is still open.
Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)
The Auto Lock function locks the doors and the boot lid when the Audi Q7 exceeds a speed of about 15 km/h.
The Audi Q7 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 Q7, the central locking system will lock the doors and the boot lid. When you unlock the Audi Q7, the central locking system will unlock either the driver s door only, or all the locks on the Audi Q7, 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 Q7 in the following situations:
- When the driver s door is open, you cannot lock the Audi Q7 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 Q7s 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 Q7 with the remote control key/convenience key* until all of the doors and the boot lid are closed.
The Audi Q7 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 ►.
Applies to Audi Q7s 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 Q7 unattended. Even a locked Audi Q7 is not a safe.
- When you lock the Audi Q7, the LED on the driver s window sill flashes. If the LED is still on about 30 seconds after the Audi Q7 is locked, the central locking system is not working properly. You should have the malfunction repaired by a qualified workshop.
