Indicator lights overview
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on. They indicate functions or mal-
functions.
With some indicator lights, messages may ap-
pear and warning signals may sound. The indica-
tor lights and messages may be covered by other
displays. To show them again, select the second
tab for messages with the multifunction steering
wheel © page 12.
Some indicator lights in the display can display in
several colors.
Some indicator lights turn on briefly as a function
check when you switch the ignition on. These sys-
tems are marked with a V in the following tables.
If one of these indicator lights does not turn on,
there is a malfunction in that system.
The following indicator lights may be available,
depending on the vehicle equipment:

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.

Z\ WARNING
— After closing the luggage compartment lid,
make sure that it is latched. Otherwise the
luggage compartment lid could open sud-
denly when driving, which increases the risk
of an accident.
— Never drive with the luggage compartment
lid ajar or open, because poisonous gases
can enter the vehicle interior and create the
risk of asphyxiation.
— Never leave your vehicle unattended when
the luggage compartment lid is open. A
child could crawl into the luggage compart-
ment. If the luggage compartment lid was
then closed, the child would be trapped in
the vehicle and unable to escape. To reduce
the risk of injury, do not allow children to
play in or around the vehicle. Always keep
the luggage compartment lid and the doors
closed when the vehicle is not in use.
— Always make sure no one is in the luggage
compartment lid's range of motion when it
is closing, especially near the hinges. Fin-
gers or hands could be pinched.
@) Tips
— When the vehicle is locked, the luggage
compartment lid can be unlocked separately
by pressing the << button on the remote
control key. The luggage compartment lid
locks automatically when it is closed again.
— Incase of an emergency or a faulty handle,
the luggage compartment lid can be opened
manually from the inside > page 28.

Opening and closing
Press both of the outer buttons on the con-
trol unit > page 30, fig. 25 until the yellow
LED (2) 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.
Briefly press the button in the control panel
that you want to program.
Wait until the yellow LED (2) blinks. The pro-
gramming mode is active for five minutes.
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. Hold the remote control transmitter at the
vehicle radiator grille > fig. 26.
Now press the remote control transmitter
until the turn signals on your vehicle blink.
This can take up to 30 seconds.
If the emergency flashers blink three times,
the programming was successful. If the
emergency flashers only blink one time, the
five-minute time limit for programming has
expired or the programming was unsuccess-
ful. Repeat the programming procedure
starting from the third step or change the
distance to the radiator grille.
If the garage door or other systems do not
open with the HomeLink buttons even if the
programming was successful, the system
may use a rolling code instead of a fixed
code. You must also then perform rolling
code programming > page 31.
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 the ignition on.
> Press both of the outer buttons on the control
unit until the yellow LED (2) turns off and the
green LED (@ blinks.
Reprogramming buttons
> Switch the ignition on.
> To reprogram an individual button, press the
desired button until the green LED (@) turns off
and the yellow LED (2) starts to blink (after ap-
proximately 20 seconds). Release the button
immediately. The programming mode is active
for five minutes.
> Continue with step 5.
@ Tips
— The distance needed between the remote
control transmitter and the garage door
opener module in the radiator grille
=> fig. 26 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.
