@ Key fob with vehicle code*
You can reveal the vehicle code* on the key fob by
rubbing off the coating. It is not, however, rele
vant for this vehicle.
Replacing a key
If you should lose a key, please contact an Audi
dealer. Have the remote control coding for that
key deactivated. For this purpose you should
bring all available keys with you. It is also impor
tant to notify your insurance company if a key has
been lost.
Number of keys
You can check how many keys are initialised for
your vehicle using the infotainment system. To
do so, select: I MENU I button >Car> left control
button > Servicing & checks > Car information.
This feature enables used car buyers to make
sure they have received all of the keys.
Electronic immobiliser
The immobiliser is designed to prevent unauthor
ised persons from driving the vehicle.
It may not be possible to start the engine with
the key if there is another remote control key
from a different 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
- Parking aid*
- Active lane assist*
28 -
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.
A 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.
.
1 Note
The function of the remote control key may
be impaired by interference from other near
by radio signals (for example from a mobile
telephone or TV transmitter) if these are in
the same frequency range. You should always
check that your vehicle is locked.

Identifying a rolling code
� Press a programmed button in the operating
unit again and hold it down.

as a garage door, is equipped with a rolling
code.
� Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating a system's drive unit
� Locate
the programming button on the sys
tem's drive unit. The exact location and colour
of the button may vary depending on the type
of system.
� Press
the programming button on the system's
drive unit (this will normally cause an indicator
lamp on the unit to light up). You now have
about 30 seconds to start and complete pro
gramming of the button in the operating unit.
Programming the button in the operating
unit
� Press the previously programmed button in the
operating unit for 2 seconds.
� Press the button for 2 seconds again to com
plete rolling code programming.
� For some systems, the button may have to be
pressed a third time to complete the program

After programming, the system should recognise
the signal and respond when the button in the
operating unit is pressed. Now the other control
buttons can be programmed as required.
