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:

BFV-0278
Fig. 11 Your vehicle key set
@ Remote or convenience key*
The convenience key* is a remote control key with
special functions > page 24 and > page 57.
You can unlock/lock your vehicle with the remote
control key. A mechanical key is integrated in the
remote control key > page 23.
@ Key tag with vehicle code*
The vehicle code* on the key tag can be rubbed
off. It does not have a function.
Replacing a key
If a key is lost, see an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility. Have this key de-
activated. It is important to bring all keys with
you. If a key is lost, you should report it to your
insurance company.
Number of keys
You can check the number of keys assigned to
your vehicle in the Infotainment system. To do
this, select the [MENU] button > Vehicle > left
control button > Service & checks > Vehicle in-
formation. This way, you can make sure that you
have all the keys when purchasing a used vehicle.
Electronic immobilizer
The immobilizer prevents unauthorized use of
the vehicle.
Under certain circumstances, the vehicle may not
be able to start if there is a remote control key
from a different vehicle manufacturer on the key
chain.
22
Data in the master key
When driving, service and maintenance-relevant
data is continuously stored in your remote con-
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.
ZA WARNING
If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition off
and take the vehicle key with you. This applies
particularly when children remain in the vehi-
cle. Otherwise the children could start the en-
gine or operate electrical equipment such as
power windows.
() Note
Protect the remote control key against high
temperatures and direct sunlight.
@) For the sake of the environment
XX Do not dispose of remote control keys in
household trash. They contain materials that
can be recycled. Contact an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for
more information.
G) Tips
— The operation of the remote control key can
be temporarily disrupted by interference >
Opening and closing

ment lid within 45 seconds, the vehicle automati-
cally locks again. This feature prevents the vehi-
cle from being accidentally left unlocked for a
long period of time.

mine if the entire vehicle or only the driver's door
is unlocked when unlocking the vehicle
=> page 26.
ZX WARNING
No one, especially children, should stay in the
vehicle when it is locked from the outside, be-
cause the windows can no longer be opened
from the inside > page 27. Locked doors
make it more difficult for emergency workers
to get into the vehicle, which puts lives at risk.
24

are within view of the vehicle.
—The selector lever must be in the P position
on vehicles with a convenience key*; other-
wise the vehicle will not lock.

mately 5 feet (1.5 m) away from the door handle.

venience key is in your jacket pocket or in your
briefcase, for example.

rectly after locking it. This way you have the op-
portunity to check if the doors locked correctly.

mine if the entire vehicle or only one of the doors
is unlocked when unlocking the vehicle
