bring all available keys with you. It is also impor
tant to notify your insurance company if a key has
been lost.

I MENU I
button >Car> left control button > Serv

ised persons from driving the vehicle.
It may not be possible to start the engine with
the key if there is another ignition key from a dif
ferent make of vehicle on the same key ring.
Data stored on remote control key
Data related to the service and maintenance of
the vehicle are stored continuously on your re
mote control key while you are driving. Your Audi
dealer can read out the data and will then be able
to tell you what service work is required. This also
applies to vehicles with convenience key*.
Personal convenience settings
If two people use the same car regularly, it is a
good idea for each person to have his or her
"own" remote control key. When you switch off
the ignition or lock the vehicle, your personal set
tings for the following convenience features are
stored and assigned to the remote control key:
- Air conditioner
26 -
Central locking system
-Windows
- Background lighting*
- Parking aid*
- Active lane assist*
- Side assist*
- Drive select
The stored settings are then recalled automati
cally the next time the vehicle is unlocked, the
doors are opened or the ignition is switched on.
_& WARNING
Always take the key with you when leaving the
vehicle -even if you only intend to be gone for
a short time. This is especially important if
children are left in the car. They might other
wise be able to start the engine or use power
operated equipment such as the electric win
dows -this could lead to injuries.
The function of the remote control key may be
impaired by interference from other nearby
radio signals (for example from a mobile tele
phone or TV transmitter) if these are in the
same frequency range.
