Opening and closing
Keys
Key set
Fig. 19 Key set
@ Remote control key with mechanical key
You can centrally lock and unlock your vehicle
and start the engine w ith the master key with re­
mote control. A mechanical key is integrated in
the remote control key¢
page 30.
@ Emergency key
The emergency key is not intended for constant
use. It shou ld only be used in an emergency.
Keep it in a safe place and do not carry it on your
key ring.
Key replacement
If you lose a key , contact your authorized Audi
dealer immediately to have the
lost key disab led .
Be sure to bring all your keys with you.
Personal comfort settings
If two people use one vehicle, it is recommended
that each person always uses "their own" master
key. When the ignition is switched off or when
the vehicle is locked , personal convenience set­
tings for the following systems are stored and as­
signed to the remote master key .
- Automatic climate contro l
- Central locking system
- Amb ience lighting*
- Seat memory*
- Parking system*
- Adaptive cruise control*
- Audi active lane assist*
30
-Audi side assist*
- Audi drive se lect
- Night vision assistant*
- Heated steering wheel*
The stored settings are automatically recalled
when you unlock the vehicle, when you open the
doors or when you switch the ignition on.
A WARNING
-
-Do not leave your vehicle unattended. Al­
ways take your ignition key with you and
loc k your vehicle . Entr y by unautho rized per­
sons could endanger yo u or result in theft or
damage the vehicle.
- Do not leave children unattended in the ve­
hicle, especially with access to vehicle keys.
Unguarded access to the keys provides chil­
dren the opport unity to start the engine
and/or activate vehicle systems s uch as the
power windows, etc. Unsupervised opera­
tion of any vehicle system by ch ildren can
result in serious injury .
(D Tips
-The operation of the remote control key can
be temporarily disrupted by interference
from transmitters in the v icinity of the vehi­
cle working in the same frequency range
(e.g . a cell phone, radio equipment).
- For security reasons, replacement keys are
only ava ilable from Audi dealers .

Warm and cold 4-zone deluxe automatic
climate control
Description
A pplies to: ve hicles with four -zone auto matic clim ate con trol
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the air in the vehicle interior. It
is the most effective when the windows and sun­
roof* are closed. If the temperature ins ide the
parked vehicle becomes very warm, opening the
window briefly will speed up the cooling process.
In a ll heating mode functions except
defrost, the
b lower only sw itches to a higher speed once the
engine coolant has reached a certain tempera­
ture.
Condensation from the cooling system can drip
and form a puddle of water under the veh icle.
This is normal and does not mean there is a leak.
Pollutant filt er
The po llutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
The air poll utants filter must be changed a t the
intervals specified in you r Warranty
& Mainte­
nance booklet, so that the air conditioner can
properly work .
I f yo u drive you r vehicle in a n area with high air
pollu tion, the fil ter may need to be changed
more frequently than specified in your Audi War­
ranty & Maintenance booklet . If in doubt, ask
your author ized Audi Service Advisor for advice.
Key coded settings
The clima te con trol settings are autom atically
stored and assigned to the remo te control key
that is in use.
A WARNING
Reduced visibi lity is dangerous and can ca use
accidents.
Warm and c old
- For safe driving it is very important t hat all
windows be free of ice, snow and condensa­
tion.
- Complete ly familiar ize yourself with the
proper use and function of the heating and
ventilation system and especially how to de­
fog and defrost the windows .
- Never use the windshield wiper/washer sys­
tem in freezing weather until you have
warmed the windshield fi rst, using the heat­
i n g and vent ilation system . The was he r so lu­
tion may freeze on the w indshield and re­
duce visibili ty.
(D Note
- If you suspect that the air conditioner has
been damaged, sw itch the system off to
avoid furthe r damage and have it inspected
by a qualified dea lership.
- Repa irs to the Aud i a ir cond itione r requ ire
special techn ica l know ledge and s pe ci al
t oo ls. Cont act an a uthorized Audi de aler fo r
assistance .
@ For the sake of the environment
By red ucing t he amo unt of fuel you use, yo u
also red uce the amount of pollu tan ts emitte d
i nto the air.
(D Tips
- K eep the air intake s lots (in fro nt of the
w indshield) free from i ce , sn ow and debr is
in orde r to maint ain the proper func tion of
the climate control system .
- Th e energy m anagemen t sys tem may switch
t he seat heating* or rear window defros ter
off temporarily. These systems are availab le
agai n as soon as t he energy ba lance has
been restored.
- Air escapes through vents under the rear
w indow . When placing items of clothing on
the luggage compartment cover, ensure
that the openings are not covered.

IA/C l Switching cooling mode on /off
The air is not coo led and h umid ity is not removed
when coo ling mode is switched off . This can
cause fog on the windows. The coo ling mode
switches off automatically when there are cold outside temperatures.
l ""-'I Switching recirculation mode on /off
In recirculat ion mode, the air inside the vehicle is

Tread wear
The
tread wear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified gov­
ernment test course.
F or example, a t ire graded 150 would wear one
and one half (11/2) times as well on the govern­
ment course as a tire graded 100 .
The relative performance of tires depends upon
the actual conditions of their use, however, and
may depart significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service practices and
differences in road characteristics and climate .
Traction
The
traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, Band
C. Those grades represent the tire's
ability to stop on wet pavement as measured un ­
der controlled conditions on specified govern­ ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction performance
¢ .&, .
Temperatur e
The
temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the mate­ rial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life,
and excessive temperature can lead to sudden
tire failure
c:> .&, .
The grade C corresponds to a level of perform­
ance which all passenger car tires must meet un­
der the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades Band A represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
A WARNING
-
The traction grade ass igned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cor­
nering, hydroplaning or peak traction charac­
teristics.
Wheels
A WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab­ lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla­
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
i n comb inat ion, can cause heat buildu p and
possible tire failure.
A WARNING
-
-
Temperature grades apply to tires that are
properly inflated and not over or underinflat­
ed.
Tire pressure monitoring system
ill General notes
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
shou ld be checked monthly when cold and inflat­
ed to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la­
bel, you should determine the proper tire infla ­
t ion pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitor ing system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell­
tale when one or more of your tires is significant­ ly under -inf lated. Accordingly, when the low t ire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possib le, and inflate
them to the proper pressure . Driving on a signifi­
cant ly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over­
heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fue l efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's handling and stop­
ping ability .
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's re­
sponsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pres-
sure telltale . .,.
