The transmitter and battery are located in the head of the remote
control. The r eceiver is locat ed inside the vehicle . The maximum
effective range depends on severa l things . Remember, if the battery
is weak, the effect ive range decreases.
I f you need to replace the remote co ntro l, or if you need to have it
repaired , you must see your authorized Audi dealer. Only then can
you use the key again .
Person alizing the m ast er key
When the ignition is tu rned off or when the vehicle is locked, various
convenience settings are stored automatical ly and assigned to the
key that was used . The settings that are assigned to the master key
are recalled automatically when the veh icle is unlocked, when the
door is opened or when the ignition is switched on .
Settings are saved for the fo llowing systems:
• Climate contro l
• Central locki ng
Con tro ls and eq uip
ment
Op ening and clo sing
• Ambient lighting
• Windows
• Acoustic Parking System*
• Seat memory *
The
Remot e control ke y function must be activated in the MMI
~ page 92, so that the se ttings for the driver's seat (including the
settings for the ste ering column and exterior mirrors) are saved on
t he master key through the sea t memory when the vehicle is locked,
and are set automatica lly when the vehicle is unlocked .
[ i ] Tips
• I f the ignition is switched on, the remote control system is deac
t ivated.
• The remote control syst em can be affected by other syst ems
operating in the same frequency range close t o the vehicle, such as
mobi le te lephones, television broadcasting stations, etc. •

Mem ory settin g for th e out sid e mirro rs *
When the seat posi tion is saved in the memory, the posi tion of the
outs ide mirrors is saved at the same time=>
page 91.
If th e position of th e mirror surfac e is changed on a ti lted mirror, this
new position wil l be automatically saved to the remote key when the
vehic le is taken out of reverse gear .
Tilting th e passenger's side out side m irro r (on ly with
e xterior mirror m em ory )
When you move the se lector lever in to R (Reverse), the m irror on the
front passenger's door (knob turned to® =>
page 83, fig. 74) will tilt
s lightly downward. Th is m ake is easier for you to see the curb when
you are backing into a parking spac e.
The mirror returns to its ini tial posit ion as soon as reverse gear is
disengaged and vehic le speed is above about 9 mph (15 km/h). The
mirror also retur ns to its init ia l pos ition if the switch is moved to the
dr iver 's outside mirror
(0 or the ignition is switched off .
Automatic anti-glare for the outside mirror s*
The outside mirrors dim at the same time as the inside mirror . When
the ignition is switched on, the mi rrors automat ically dim
depending on the amount of light striking the mirrors (such as head
lights shi ning into the vehicle from the rear).
When you turn on the interior light, or when you move the selector
lever into
R (Rev erse), the anti-glare function stops and the mirrors
retur n to their original condition (not darkened).
0 Note
• Curved (i .e. convex) mirror surfaces increase you r field o f view .
Remember that vehicles or other objects will appear smaller and
farther away than w hen seen in a flat mirror. If you use this mirr or to
estimate distances of following vehicles when changing lanes , you
cou ld estimate incorrectly and cause an acc ident .
• If the mirror housing is moved unintentionally (for example ,
wh ile pa rking your vehicle), then you must firs t fold the mirro r elec - trically. Do not readjust the mirror housing manually. You cou
ld
damage the m otor wh ich contr ols the mirror .
[ i ] Tips
If the re shou ld be a malfunction in the electrica l system, you can
still adjust the outside mirrors by pressing the edge of the mirror .•
A pplies to vehicle s: w it h a utom ati c d imm ing for out sid e mirro rs
Automatic dimming for outside mirrors
The ou ts ide mirrors are dimmed together with the automa tic
dimming of the inside mirror. When the ign ition is switched on, the
mirrors darken a utomatical ly depending on the lig ht striking them
(e.g. headlights from the rear).
When the interior lighting is switched on and when reverse gear is engaged, the m irrors are switched back to the ir o rigi nal brightness
(not dimmed).
& WARNING
The glas s of the inside rear v iew mirror is layered and contain s an
electrolyte to achieve it s propertie s. Be aware of liquid electrolyte
leaking from a b rok en mirror gla ss . This liquid c an cause irr itat ion
to skin , eyes, and re spiratory sy stem . If you get electrolyte in your
eyes or on your skin , immed iately rinse with plenty of wate r. If i rri
tation persists , seek m edi cal attention .
0 Note
Electrolyte leaking fro m a broken mi rro r glass attacks the veh ic le
paint and p lastic surfaces . Clean up spilled electrolyte immediately
with clear water and a sponge. _,,,

& WARNING
Improper use of steering wheel adjustment and improper seating
position can cause serious personal injury.
• Adjust the steering wheel column only when the vehicle is not
moving to prevent loss of vehicle control .
• Adjust the driver's seat or steering wheel so that there is a
minimum of 10 inches (25 cm ) between your chest and the
steering wheel~
page 194 , fig. 188 . If you cannot maintain this
minimum distance , the airbag system cannot protect you prop
erly .
• If physical limitations prevent you from sitting 1 O inches (25
cml or more from the steering wheel , check with your authorized
Audi dealer to see if adaptive equipment is available.
• If the steering wheel is aligned with your face, the supple
mental driver's airbag cannot provide as much protection in an
accident . Always make sure that the steering wheel is aligned with
your chest .
• Always hold the steering wheel with your hands at the 9 o'clock
and 3 o'clock positions to reduce the risk of personal injury if the
driver's airbag deploys .
• Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with
your hands inside the steering wheel rim or on the steer ing wheel
hub . Holding the steering wheel the wrong way can cause serious
injuries to the hands, arms and head if the driver's airbag
deploys. •
