Programming the transmitter
Applies to: vehicles with garage door opener (Homelink)
Fig. 29 Distance between t he rad iator grille and the re
mote control transmitter
Programming the button : step 1 on the
control panel
1. Switch on the ignit ion.
2. Press both of the outside buttons on the con
trol unit¢
page 33, fig. 28 until the yellow
LED @turns off and the green LED@ blinks.
This procedure clears the standard codes that
were set at the factory and does
not need to
be repeated again to program the other but
tons.
3. Briefly press the button in the control panel
that you want to program.
4. Wait until the yellow LED@blinks. The pro
gramming mode is active for 5 minutes.
5. Go in front of the vehicle with the original re
mote control transmitter for the system that
you are programming to the control panel
button.
Programming the button: step 2 at the
radiator grille
6. Ho ld the remote control transmitter at the
vehicle radiator grille¢
fig. 29.
7. Now press the remote control transmitter
until the turn signals on your vehicle blink.
This can take up to 30 seconds.
8. If the emergency flashers blink three times,
the programming was successful.
If the
emergency flashers only b link one t ime, the
five-minute time limit for programming has
expired or the programming was unsuccess
ful. Repeat the programming starting from
the third step or change the distance to the
radiator grille.

9. If the garage door or other systems do not
open with the Homelink buttons even if the
programming was successfu l, the system
may use a rolling code instead of a fixed
code. You must also then perform
rolling
code programming
c:, page 35.
The other two buttons in the control panel can be
programmed using the instructions given above.
Start with step 3.
Deleting button programming
The programmed buttons cannot be deleted indi
vidually. They must be deleted all at once. Repro
gram the buttons if necessary.
.,.. Switch on the ign ition.
.,.. Press both of the outside buttons on the con
trol unit until the yellow LED @turns off and
the green LED(!) blinks .
Reprogramm ing buttons
.,.. Switch on the ignition .
.,.. To reprogram an individual button, press the
desired button until the green LED @turns off
and the yellow LED@starts to blink (after ap
proximately 20 seconds). Release the button
immediately. The programming mode is active
for 5 minutes.
.,.. Continue with step 5.
(D Tips
- The distance needed between the remote
control transmitter and the Homelink mod
ule in the radiator grille
¢fig. 29 depends
on the system you are programming.
- Depending on the system model, you may
need to release the button on the remote
control transmitter while it is programming
and press it again . Hold every position you
try when programming for at least 15 sec
onds before trying a new position. Keep an
eye on the vehicle turn signals while doing
this.

Electronic speed Limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with tires
that are rated for a maximum speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). This is less than the maximum speed
of your vehicle. To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operat
ed at excessive speeds, your vehicle also has an
electronic speed limiter. The electronic speed
lim iter prevents your vehicle from going faster
than the t ire speed rating. For mo re information

Audi active Lane assist
Description
Appl ie s to: ve hicles w ith Audi ac tive lane assis t
Active lane assist detects lane marker lines with
in the limits of the system using a camera in the
windshield. If you are approaching a detected
lane marker line and it appears likely that you
will leave the lane, the system will warn you with
correct ive steering. You can override th is steer ing
at any time . If you pass over a line, the steer ing
wheel will v ibrate l ightly. In order for this warn
ing vibration to occur, it must first be sw itched
on in the Infotainment system. Active lane assist
is ready for operation when the lane marker line
is detected on at least one side of the vehicle.
The system is designed for driving on express
ways and highways and so it only activates at
speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/h) (depending on the market).
Applies to vehicles w ith side assist* : if you act i
vate a turn signal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach
ing you, there w ill be noticeable corrective steer
ing shortly before you leave the lane. This will at
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist* : the sys
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the turn signal before crossing the lane marker line . In this case, it assumes that you are chang
ing lanes intentionally .
& WARNING
-The system wa rns the driver that the veh icle
is leav ing the lane using co rrective s teer ing.
1 ) The co rrect ive stee ring fun ctio n is not ava ilabl e in all mar
ket s.
72
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can assist the driver in keeping
the vehicle in the lane, but it does not drive
by itself. A lways keep your hands on the
steer ing wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain situations, such as during heavy braking.
- There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc
tive steering can only take place on the s ide
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected .
- Other road structures or objects could poss i
bly be identified un intent ionally as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected o r may not occ ur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by ra in,
snow, heavy spray light shin ing into the
camera or by dirt o n the window. This can
result in active lane assist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor
rectly.
- In certain s ituations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch internally from "ear
ly" to "late" steering cor rection
ll.
- Unde r certain cond itions such as r uts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the m iddle of the lane.
- For safety reasons, active lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/
or weather conditions such as slippery
roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the potential for hydroplaning . Using active lane
assist under these cond it ions may increase
the risk of a crash.
