@:
—Time and date > page 171
— Average consumption
— Short-term memory overview
— Long-term memory overview
— Energy consumers > page 15
— Driver assistance
— Traffic sign recognition
The short-term memory collects driving informa-
tion from the time the ignition is switched on un-
til it is switched off. If you continue driving within
two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values are included when calculating the cur-
rent trip information.
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se-
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa-
tion yourself.
Energy consumers*
The Energy consumers view lists other equip-
ment that is currently affecting fuel consump-
tion. The display shows up to three equipment
items. The equipment using the most power is
listed first. If more than three items using power
are switched on, the equipment that is currently
using the most power is displayed. A chart also
shows you the current total of all other consum-
ers.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown using
a bar graph. The average consumption stored in
the short-term memory is also displayed. If the
bar is green, your vehicle is saving fuel through
one of the following functions:
— Recuperation: electrical energy can be stored in
the battery when the vehicle is coasting or driv-

Central locking
You can lock and unlock the vehicle centrally. You
have the following options:
— Remote control key > page 24
— Sensors in the door handles* > page 24
— Lock cylinder on the driver's door > page 26,
or
— Interior central locking switch > page 25
Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)
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.
— If the most recently used convenience key* is
inside the luggage compartment, the luggage
compartment lid will automatically open again
after closing it.
— If the last convenience key* that was used is de-
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.

trol key. Your Audi service advisor can read out
this data and tell you about the work your vehicle
needs. This applies also to vehicles with a con-
venience key*.
Personal convenience settings
If two people use one vehicle, it is recommended
that each person always uses “their own” master
key. When the ignition is turned off or when the
vehicle is locked, personal convenience settings
for the following systems are stored and as-
signed to the remote master key.
— Climate control system
— Parking aid*
— Active lane assist*
— Side assist*
— Drive select
The stored settings are automatically recalled
when you unlock the vehicle, open the doors or
turn on the ignition.
