ponents are scanned for their operat ing sta­
tus. Malfunctions or required service proce­
dures are signaled audibly and shown by red
and yellow lighted symbols and reminders to

You can centrally lock and unlock your vehicle
and start the engine with the master key with remote control. A mechanical key is integrat­
ed in the master key
c::;, page 3 7.

Key replacement
If you lose a key, contact your authorized Audi
dealer immediately to have the
lost key disa­
bled. Be sure to bring all your keys with you.
Number of keys
You can inquire about the number of assigned
keys to your vehicle
c::;, page 11. This allows
you to make sure you have received all of the
keys when you purchase a used vehicle. De­
pending on the vehicle equ ipment level, this
function may also be performed in the MM!* .
To do this, select:
ICARI funct ion button> Car

tell you about the work your ve­
hicle needs . This applies also to vehicles with
Convenience key *.
Personal comfort settings
If two people use one vehicle, it is recom­
mended that each person always uses "their

off or when the vehicle is locked, personal
convenience settings for the following sys­
tems are stored and assigned to the remote
master key.
- Climate control
- Central locking system
- Sea t memory*
- Parking system*
- Adaptive cruise control*
- Audi side assist*
-Audi drive select*
T he stored settings are automatically recalled
when you unlock the vehicle, when yo u open
the doors or when you turn on the ignit ion .
A WARNING ......... -
- Do not leave your vehicle unattended
wit h the key in the ignition lock. Entry by
unauthorized persons could endanger
you or result in theft or damage the vehi­
cle. A lways lock all doors and take the
key.
- Do not leave children unattended in the
veh icle, especially with access to vehicle
keys. Unguarded access to the keys pro­
vides children the opportunity to start
the engine and/or activate vehicle sys­
tems such as the power windows etc. Un­
supervised operation of any vehicle sys­
tem by children can result in serious in­
jury.
- Do not remove the key from the ignition
lock until the veh icle has come to a com­
plete stop. Otherwise the steering col­
umn lock could suddenly engage -caus­
ing the r isk of an accident.

(30 km/h to 240 km/h). Settings can each be
adjusted in intervals of
5 mph (10 km/h).

A WARNING
- Always pay attention to the traffic around you when the cruise control is in
operation . You are always responsible for
c:o ;:g 0 ci: c:o al
On th e road 95
your speed and the distance between
your vehicle and other vehicles.
- For reasons of safety, cruise control
should not be used in the city, in stop­
and-go traffic, on twisting roads and
when road conditions are poor (such as
ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydro­
plan ing) -you could have an accident.
- Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when dr iv ing in turning lanes, highway
exits or in construction zones.
- Please note that unconsciously "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes
cru ise contro l not to brake. This is due to
the control system being overridden by
the driver's acceleration.
- Never use the cruise control when driving
off-road or on unpaved roads. The cruise
con tro l is intended for use only when the
vehicle is being operated on paved roads,
and is not suitable for use off-road or on
unpaved roads.
- If a brake system malfunction such as
overheating occurs when the cruise con ­
trol system is switched on, the braking
function in the system may be switched off. The other cruise control functions re­
main active as long as the indicator light
IR;\1)~14 (US model)/ fil (Canadian model)

The brake lights illuminate as soon as the
brakes apply automatically .
