Coming home situation
In
darkness, the activated system will turn on the headlights, side
marker lights , rear side marker lights , tail lights, and rear license
plate light as soon as the driver's door is opened from inside.
As long as one of the doors or the rear lid remains open, the set of
external lights will keep burning for about four minutes maximum.
To provide light for departure, the set of vehicle lights will keep
burning for about another 30 seconds after all doors and the rear lid
have been closed.
The factory-set time of 30 seconds until the lights are switched off can be adjusted if you prefer a longer or shorter duration. Have the
adjustment done by your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified work
shop. The system can be adjusted to keep the lights burning for a
maximum of 60 seconds.
Leaving home situation
As soon as the vehicle is unlocked by pressing the
CD button on your
remot e control, the set of external l ights is switched on .
The external lights are switched off as soon as the driver's door is
opened from outside . Even if you had the system readjusted to keep
the lights burning for an extended time for coming home, the
external lights will be turned off if you do not open the driver's door
within 60 seconds after unlocking. See chapter "Opening and
Closing" in your Owner's Manual. If the lights are switched off
before you reach the driver's door, press the@ button once more to
turn them on again.
[ i] Tips
• Do not attach any stickers to the windshield in front of the two
light sensors, as this would interfere with both the automatic oper
ation of the headlights and the automatic dimming of the inside
mirror(s). • If
the vehicle is remotely unlocked and locked three times in
succession, leaving home will not turn on the lights a fourth time to
safeguard the battery and lights.
• If you wish to use the coming home/leaving home function regu
larly, you can leave it activated at all times without risking perma
nent strain on the electrical system. As the system is controlled by
light sensors, it will only be energized in darkness .
• Frequent use of the coming home/leaving home function for
approaching and departing a vehicle parked in the dark will strain
the battery. This applies particularly if only short distances are
driven between stops . Occasionally drive longer distances to make
sure the battery is recharged sufficiently.
• If the fog lights have been switched on by the coming
home/leaving home function, they will always be switched off when
you switch on the ignition. •

Universal remote control
A pplies to vehi cles: w ith Home link® unive rsa l re mo te cont ro l
General information
The Homelink® fea ture c an learn up to three radio
frequency codes for m ost current transmitters used for
operating garage doors, estate gates, home or outdoor
lighting systems, and other devices.
You must first pr ogram the Homelink® transmitter before you can
use the system=> page 108, "Programming the Homelink® trans
mitter".
In order to program the Homelink® transmitter for devices uti lizing
rolling code, a second person on a ladder who can safe ly reach the
garage door opener motor is recommended. It is also necessary to
locate the "learn" button on your garage door opener motor . Refer
t o the operating instructions for the opener, as the location a nd
color of this but ton may vary by manufacturer.
You can still use the origina l remote control for the device at any
time.
& WARNING
• Never use the Homelink"" transmitte r with any garage door
opener that does have not the safety stop and rever se feature as
required by federal safety standards . This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured before April 1 , 1982 .
• A garage door opener whi ch cannot detect an obje ct, signaling
the door to stop and rever se does not meet current federal safety
standard s. U sing a ga rage door opener without these features
increases risk of serious injury or death .
Controls and equip
ment
& W ARNIN G (continu ed )
• For safety re asons never relea se the p ark ing brake or st art the
engine while anyone i s standing in front of the vehi cle .
• A garage door or an estate gate may sometimes be set
in
motion when the Homelink ® remote control is being
programmed . If the d evice is repeated ly act ivated , this can over
strain motor and damage it s elec trical component s -an over
heated motor is a fire hazard !
• To avoid po ssible in juries or property damage, please alway s
make ab solutely certain that no persons or obje cts are located in
the range of motion of any equipment being operated.

Phase 1: programming the overhead keypad
1. Make sure your vehicle is within operating range of the
remote controlled garage door opener .
2. Set the parking brake~
& in "General information" on
page 107.
3. Turn the ignition on. Do not start the engine! 4. Press and hold the two outside Homelink® buttons
(D
and
@for approximately 20 seconds until indicator
light @::::::, fig. 93 begins to flash. Then release both
buttons. Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30
seconds.
This procedure only needs to be performed
once . It
erases the factory-set default codes and does not have to
be repeated to program additional remote controls.
5. Press and hold the Homelink® button
(D , ® or @ until
the indicator light @starts flashing
slowly. Release the
button.
- The system will remain in programming mode for 5
minutes.
Go to the front of the vehicle and proceed with
phase 2.
Phase 2:
programming the bumper mounted transmitter
6. Hold the original remote control at a distance between 0-
6 in. (0-15 cm) from the bumper below the appropriate
headlight for your vehicle~ fig . 94 (use the shortest
distance possible) .
7. Aim the remote control just below the
driver side head
light.
8. Press and hold the activation button on the remote control.
- May be different in Canada. If so, press and re-press
(cycle) the activation button on your remote control every
two seconds. .-,,
___________________________________________________ H_ o_m _ e_ L_ i_ n _k_ ® _ ___.ffllll
9. The emergency flashers will flash three times (after
about 15-60 seconds) when the programming is
successful. Release the button on the remote control.
-To program more devices, repeat steps 4 to 9.
10. Press and hold the trained Homelink® button and
observe the indicator light@=>
page 108, fig. 93 .
- If the indicator light is solid/continuous, programming is
complete and your device should activate when you
press and release the trained Homelink® button.
- If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and is
then a solid/continuous light , proceed with phase 3 to
program a rolling code device.
Phase 3: rolling code programming
-A second person on a ladder who can safely reach the
garage door opener motor is recommended.
11. Locate the "learn" button on the garage door opener
motor (refer to the operating instructions for the opener,
as the location of this button may
vary by manufacturer).
12. Press and release the learn button on the garage door
opener motor.
- Note: once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in
which to initiate the next step.
13. On the Homelink® keypad inside the vehicle, firmly
press and hold the Homelink® button previously
programmed in phases 1 and 2 for two seconds and
release. Repeat this sequence
twice .
Contro ls and eq uip
ment
- Some vehicles may require the press/hold/release
sequence up to three times to complete the training
process.
- Homelink® should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
If the 5 minute time limit is exceeded , the emergency flashers will
flash one time to indicate that the process has been terminated . In
this case, repeat steps 4 through 9.
If the emergency flashers do not flash
three times (after about 15-
60 seconds), programming was not successful. In this case, repeat
steps 4 through 9.
Remote control units for garage door openers in Canada are set to
stop transmitting radio frequency signals after two seconds. This
time may not be sufficient for the Homelink® system to learn the
radio frequency signal. Perform all other steps as described
above. •

Always consult an authorized Audi dealer b efore starting work on
any modifications .
This will help ensure that vehicle function, performance and safety are not impaired ~
&-
Attempting to work on e lectronic components and the software
used with them can cause malfunctions. Because of the way e lec
tronic components are interconnected with each other, such malfunctions can also have an adverse affect on other systems that
are not directly involved. This means that you risk both a substantial
reduction in the operational safety of your vehic
