Central locking system
Description
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked via the
central locking system. You can use any of the
following:
- Remote control key¢ page 28
- Sensors in the door handles* ¢ page 28
- Lock on driver's door ¢ page 30
- Interior central locking switch ¢ page 29
Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)
The Auto Lock function locks the doors and the
boot lid when the vehicle exceeds a speed of
about 15 km/h.
The vehicle is unlocked again immediately when
the unlock button in the central locking switch is
pressed or one of the inside door handles is
pulled. The Auto Lock function can be switched
on and off on the infotainment system
¢page 30.
In the event of an accident in which the airbags
inflate, the doors will be automatically unlocked
to facilitate access and assistance.
Unlocking one side of the vehicle only
When you lock the vehicle, the central locking
system will lock the doors and the boot lid. When
you unlock the vehicle, the central locking system
will unlock either the driver's door only, or all the
locks on the vehicle, depending on the setting
you have selected on the infotainment system
¢page 30.
Turn signals
The turn signals will flash twice when the vehicle
is unlocked and once when the vehicle is locked.
If the turn signals do not flash, one of the doors,
the boot lid or the bonnet is still open or the igni­
tion is still on.
Accidental lock-out
The central locking system prevents you from be­
ing locked out of the vehicle in the following sit­
uations: Doors
and windows
- When the driver's door is open, you cannot lock
the vehicle by pressing the� button on the re­
mote control key or touching the locking sen­
sor* on one of the doors.
- When one of the doors is open, it cannot be
locked together with the other doors by press­
ing the� button in the central locking switch
and then closing the door ¢ page 29.
- On vehicles with convenience key*, the boot lid
will be released again automatically if the key
that was last in use is left inside the boot when
the boot lid is closed. The hazard warning lights
will flash four times.
To prevent yourself from being locked out, do not
lock the vehicle with the remote control key/con­
venience key* until all of the doors and the boot
lid are closed.
(D Note
- Never leave any valuable items in the vehi­
cle unattended. Even a locked vehicle is not
a safe.
- When you lock the vehicle, the LED on the
driver's window sill flashes. If the LED is still
on about 30 seconds after the vehicle is
locked, the central locking system is not
working properly. You should have the mal­
function repaired by a qualified workshop.

the door handle while the vehicle is being locked.
Once the doors have been locked, they cannot be
opened again immediately. This will enable you
to check that the doors are properly closed.
The system will unlock either all the doors or only
one of the doors, depending on the settings you
have chosen on the infotainment system
¢page 30.
_& WARNING
On vehicles with an anti-theft alarm system*,
do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the car if it is locked from the outside and the
safelock mechanism* is activated: the doors
and windows cannot then be opened from the
inside ¢ page 31. Locked doors could delay
assistance in an emergency, potentially put­
ting lives at risk.
((I)) Note
Please note the following points if the vehicle
is left parked for long periods:
- To save electrical power, the proximity sen­
sors are switched off after a few days. You
will then need to pull the door handle once
to unlock the vehicle, and a second time to
open it.
- To prevent the battery from becoming dis­
charged and thus maintain the vehicle's
starting ability for as long as possible, the
power management system will gradually
switch off convenience functions that are
not required. In this case you may not be
able to unlock the vehicle with this conven­
ience function. Doors

Light functions
The following light functions depend on which
equipment is fitted in your vehicle and work only
when the light switch is set to AUTO. You can de­
activate them in the Audi adaptive light menu in
the infotainment system¢ page 39.
Static cornering light (turning light)* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) -the turning light
is automatically activated when the steering
wheel angle exceeds a specified value (up to
about 70 km/h) or when the turn signals are
switched on (up to about 40 km/h). This feature
provides better illumination at the side of the ve­
hicle when you turn off at a junction.
Motorway light* (on vehicles with LED head­
lights) -this function adjusts the vehicle lighting
on motorways, according to your speed.
Speed-dependent light distribution* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) -this function ad­
justs the light distribution as required in towns,
on motor ways and on other main roads. Intersec­
tions can also be illuminated if your vehicle is
equipped with a navigation system*.
A WARNING
- The automatic headlights* are only intended
to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when
required, and may have to switch them on
manually when the light conditions or visi­
bility are poor. For example, the light sen­
sors are not able to detect fog. Therefore,
you should always switch on the dipped
headlights io in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
- Observe all relevant statutory requirements
when using the lighting systems described
here.
CD CAUTION
To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the
rear fog light should only be used in accord­
ance with statutory regulations.

of the car. They should clear again partially
or completely soon after you switch on the
headlights. This phenomenon has no influ­
ence on the life expectancy of the vehicle
lights.
