button~ fig. 24.
The transmitter and battery are located in the head of the remote
control. The receiver is located inside the vehicle. The maximum
effective range depends on several things . Remember, if the battery

If you need to replace the remote control, or if you need to have it
repaired, you must see your authorized Audi dealer. Only then can you
use the key again.
Personalizing the master key

convenience settings are stored automatically and assigned to the
key that was used. The settings that are assigned to the master key
are reca lled automatically when the vehicle is unlocked, when the
door is opened or when the ignition is switched on.
