WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the car if it is locked
from the outside and the deadlock mechanism is activated: the
doors and windows cannot then be opened from the inside.
Locked doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially
putting lives at risk.
Note
•
Never leave any valuable items in the vehicle unattended. Even a
locked vehicle is not a safe.
•
If the diode on the driver's window sill lights up for about 30
seconds when the vehicle is locked, the central locking system or
anti-theft alarm* is not working properly. Please have the malfunc-
tion repaired by an Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
•
The interior monitor of the anti-theft alarm* system will only
function as intended if the windows and the tilting panorama roof*
are closed.
Setting the central locking system
You can use the sound system or MMI* to select which
doors are unlocked by the central locking system.
– Select: Function selector button > Central locking.In the Central locking menu you can specify which doors you wish
to have unlocked when you unlock the vehicle using the remote
control key or the advanced key*. For example, if you select off for
the passenger's door, this door will no longer be included in the
central locking function and will not be unlocked when you press
the unlock button on the remote control key once.
You can still unlock both of the doors and the boot lid. To do so,
press the unlock button twice on the remote control key.
When you lock the vehicle, the central locking system will automat-
ically lock both of the doors and the boot lid together.
If you select “Locking boot lid/tailgate” on, you can no longer open
the luggage compartment using the handle on the boot lid
⇒page 48, fig. 43. In this case, you can open the boot lid using the 
button on the remote control key ⇒fig. 36 or the unlock switch
on the driver's door ⇒page 48, fig. 42.

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. The window
switches are only deactivated when the driver's door or the front
passenger's door is opened.
•
Always be careful when closing the windows. Careless use of
the electric windows can cause severe injuries.
•
When locking the vehicle from the outside, make sure that
nobody is inside the vehicle, as the windows cannot be opened
from the inside in an emergency.Note
•
When the doors are opened the windows will automatically
come down approximately 10 mm.
•
The windows can be operated for about ten minutes after the
ignition has been switched off. The window switches are only deac-
tivated when the driver's door or the front passenger's door is
opened.

Securing the bag in the luggage compartment
– Two belts with hooks are attached to the bottom side of
the bag. Engage the hooks into the rear fastening rings
in the luggage compartment ⇒page 81, fig. 90.
Securing the objects in the bag
– Pull the free end of the belt tight to secure it ⇒fig. 91.
NoteIf the bag is damp or wet, allow it to dry before putting it away.Roof carrierDescription
Additional loads can be transported using the roof carrier.Note the following points if you intend to carry loads on the roof:•
The rain channels are moulded into the roof as part of the aero-
dynamic roof design. It is therefore not possible to mount conven-
tional roof luggage racks. We recommend using the carrier units
from the range of Audi Genuine accessories.
•
These carrier units form the basic elements of a complete roof
carrier system. Special fixtures must then be added in order to
safely transport luggage, bicycles, skis, surf boards or boats on the
roof. All the elements of this system are available from Audi dealers.Caution
Any damage to the vehicle caused by the use of other types of roof
rack or incorrect installation will not be covered by the factory
warranty. The roof carrier system must therefore be installed exactly
according to the instructions provided.Attachment points
The roof carrier must be attached at the marked points
only.Mounting
The front feet of the carrier units must be fitted exactly onto the
locating pins between the side frame and the roof frame trim
⇒fig. 92. The pins come into view when you push the sealing lip
back off the roof frame trim using the tool supplied with the roof
carrier. The rear attachment points are marked by two small
arrows on the top edge of the side window.

Roof load
Loads carried on the roof must be securely attached. The
car's handling is affected when transporting loads.The maximum permissible roof load for your vehicle is 75 kg. The
load limit applies to the combined weight of the carrier system and
the load itself.
It will not be possible to carry the full maximum load if the roof
carrier you are using is rated for a load which is less than this figure.
Do not exceed the maximum weight limit for the roof carrier, which
is listed in the fitting instructions.
WARNING
•
To prevent accidents, loads carried on the roof must be
securely attached.
•
Do not exceed the maximum roof load for the vehicle, the
maximum axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle weight, as this
could cause an accident.
•
When transporting heavy or bulky loads on the roof, bear in
mind that the car's handling is affected by the extra weight on the
roof and a possible susceptibility to cross winds. Adjust your
speed and driving style accordingly to avoid accidents.For the sake of the environment
The increased air resistance when the roof carrier is fitted means
that the vehicle uses more fuel. For this reason you should always
take off the roof carrier when it is not in use.
