Central locking
General description
The power locking system locks or unlocks all
doors and the rear lid simultaneously.
You can lock and unlock the vehicle centrally. You
have the following choices:
- Remote master key
c:::> page 32,
-Door handles with convenience key*
c:::> page 32,
-Lock cylinder at the dr iver's door c:::> page 34,
or
- Power locking switch inside
c:::> page 33.
Au tomatic locking
The automat ic locking feature locks all the veh i­
cle doors and the rear l id when you drive faster
than 9 mph ( 15 km/h).
The car is unlocked again once the ignition key is
removed . In add ition, the vehicle can be unlocked
if the opening function in the power locking sys­
tem sw itch or at one of the door levers is actuat­
ed. The Auto Lock function can be turned on and
off in the rad io or MMI*
c:::> page 34.
Additionally, in the event of a crash with a irbag
deployment the doors are automatically un­ locked to allow access to the vehicle .
Selective unlo cking
When you lock the vehicle, the power locking sys­
tem w ill lock the doors and the rear lid. When un ­
lock ing, you can set in the radio or MMI* whether
only the drive r's door o r the ent ire vehicle should
be un locked
c:::> page 34.
Anti- theft alarm w arning sy stem
If the anti-theft alarm warning system detects a
break-in into the vehicle, acoustic and v isual
warn ing s ignals are tr iggered .
The anti-theft warning system is activated auto­
mat ically when you lock the vehicle. It is deact i­
vated when unlocking using the remote key, w ith
the mechanical key, and when you switch on the
i gnit ion.
Op ening and cl osing
The alarm also turns off when the a larm cycle has
expired.
Turn signals
When you unlock the veh icle, the turn s ignals
flash twice, when you lock it once. If they do not
flash , one of the doors, the luggage compart­
ment lid or the hood is not locked or the ignition
is still switched on.
Unint entionally l ocking your self out
In the follow ing cases there safeguards to pre­
vent you locking your remote master key in the
vehicle:
- The vehicle does not lock w ith the power lock­
ing sw itch
c:::> page 33 if the driver's door is
open.
- On veh icles with co nvenience key*, if the most
recently used master key is in the luggage com­
par tment, the rear lid is automatically unlocked
again after it is closed .
Do not lock your veh icle w ith the remote master
key or co nvenience key* unt il all doors and the
rear lid are closed. In this way you avoid locking
yourself out accidentally .
A WARNING ,-c=-
-When you leave the vehicle, always remove
the ignition key and take it with you. This
will prevent passengers (children, for exam­
ple) from accidentally being locked in the
veh icle should they accidentally press the
power locking sw itch in the front doors .
- Do not leave children inside the vehicle un­
supervised . In an emergency it would be im­
possible to open the doors from the outs ide
without the key.
(D Tips
- In the event of a crash with airbag deploy­
ment all locked doors w ill be automatically
unlocked to give access to the veh icle occu­
pants from the outside.
- If the power locking system should mal­
function, you can lock the driver's door us­ ing the mecha nical key

Lights and Vision
The coming home and leaving home functions
only operate when it is dark and the light switch
is in the AUTO position ¢
page 50, fig. 54.
Auto headlights*
When the light switch is in the AUTO¢ page 50
position, the switch-on point of the lights can be
changed in the automatic driving light function.
Daytime running lights
USA models:
You can switch the daytime running
lights
on and off.
Canada models:
The function cannot be turned
off. It is activated automatically each time the ig­
nition is switched on.
Travel mode*
The headlight beam is asymmetrical. This pro­
vides stronger illumination on the side of the
road on which you are driving. If you are driving
in a country that drives on the opposite side of
the road from your own country, this will cause
glare for oncoming drivers. To prevent glare:
- Travel mode must be selected in vehicles with
Xenon headlights* .
- In vehicles with halogen headlights, certain
areas of the headlight lenses must be covered
with waterproof adhesive covers that prevent light from passing through. For more informa ­
tion, please see your authorized Audi dealer or authorized repair facility.
When travel mode is activated, a display in
the driver information system indicates this
each time you switch the ignition on.

turn signal lever . The emergency flashers stop
temporarily .
The emergency flashers also work when the igni­
tion is turned off.
The emergency flashers will turn on automatical­
ly if you are in an accident where the airbag has
deployed.

jam so that any other vehicles coming can see you, or when
- your vehicle has broken down or you are in
an emergency situation, or when
-your vehicle is being towed by a tow truck or
if you are towing another vehicle behind
you.
