The Auto Lock function locks all doors and the
luggage compartment lid once the speed has ex-
ceeded approximately 9 mph (15 km/h).
The vehicle can be unlocked if the opening func-
tion in the central locking system switch is used
or one of the door handles is pulled. The Auto
Lock function can be switched on and off in the
Infotainment system => page 26.
In the event of a crash with airbag deployment,
the doors will also automatically unlock to allow
access to the vehicle.
Selective door unlocking
The doors and luggage compartment lid will lock
when they close. You can set in the Infotainment
system whether only the driver's door or the en-
tire vehicle should be unlocked when unlocking
=> page 26.
Turn signals
The turn signals flash twice when you unlock the
vehicle and flash once when you lock the vehicle.
If the blinking continues, one of the doors or the
luggage compartment lid is not closed or the ig-
nition is still switched on.
Unintentionally locking yourself out
Only lock your vehicle when all of the doors and
the luggage compartment lid are closed and the
remote control key is not in the vehicle. This re-
duces the risk of locking yourself out accidental-
ly.
The following conditions prevent you from lock-
ing your remote control key in the vehicle:
— If the driver's door is open, the vehicle cannot
be locked by pressing the & button on the re-
mote control key or by touching the locking
sensor* ona door.

tected inside the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be
locked from the outside for a brief time > ©.
@) Note
Applies to: Vehicles with convenience key
— If the convenience key* that was last used is
detected inside the passenger compart-
ment, then the vehicle cannot be locked
from the outside. The turn signals will flash
several times to indicate this. If you do not
open the vehicle within a short time to re-
move the vehicle key, then the vehicle will
lock automatically. This prevents the vehicle
from being left unlocked for long periods of
time. The key will then be locked inside the
vehicle.
— If the convenience key* that was used last is
detected inside the luggage compartment,
it will not be possible to lock the luggage
compartment and the luggage compart-
ment lid will open. The turn signals will
flash several times to indicate this. The
doors will lock. Always take the convenience
key with you, or unauthorized people may
be able to enter the vehicle.
G) Tips
— Do not leave valuables unattended in the ve-
hicle. A locked vehicle is not a safe!
—The LED in the driver's door rail blinks when
you lock the vehicle. If the LED lights up for
approximately 30 seconds after locking,
there is a malfunction in the central locking
system. Have the problem corrected by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
