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.
CO Tati
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:

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 60.
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

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.

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.

Data in the master key
When driving, service and maintenance-relevant
data is continuously stored in your convenience
key. Your Audi service advisor can read out this
data and tell you about the work your vehicle
needs.
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
— Driver's seat adjustment* with power seats
=> page 50
— Parking aid*
— 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.

Airbag system

Airbag system
Important information
area e eo MIT a a Lee)
sitting properly
Airbags are only supplemental restraints. For
airbags to do their job, occupants must always
properly wear their safety belts and be in a prop-
er seating position.
For your safety and the safety of your passen-
gers, before driving off, always:
> Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel
properly > page 174,
> Adjust the front passenger's seat properly
=>page 175,
> Wear safety belts properly > page 182,
> Always properly use the proper child restraint
to protect children > page 211.
In a collision airbags must inflate within the blink
of an eye and with considerable force. The sup-
plemental airbags can cause injuries if the driver
or the front seat passenger is not seated proper-
ly. Therefore in order to help the airbag to do its
job, it is important, both as a driver and as a pas-
senger to sit properly at all times.
By keeping room between your body and the
steering wheel and the front of the passenger
compartment, the airbag can inflate fully and
completely and provide supplemental protection
in certain frontal collisions > page 174, Correct
passenger seating positions. For details on the
operation of the seat adjustment controls
=> page 50.
It's especially important that children are proper-
ly restrained > page 211.
There is a lot that the driver and the passenger
can and must do to help the individual safety fea-
tures installed in your Audi work together as a
system.
Proper seating position is important so that the
front airbag on the driver side can do its job. If
you have a physical impairment or condition that
prevents you from sitting properly on the driver
seat with the safety belt properly fastened and
reaching the pedals, or if you have concerns with
regard to the function or operation of the Ad-
vanced Airbag System, please contact your au-
thorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop, or
call Audi Customer Relations at 1-800-822-2834
for possible modifications to your vehicle.
When the airbag system deploys, a gas generator
will fill the airbags, break open the padded cov-
ers, and inflate between the steering wheel and
the driver and between the instrument panel and
the front passenger. The airbags will deflate im-
mediately after deployment so that the front oc-
cupants can see through the windshield again
without interruption.
All of this takes place in the blink of an eye, so
fast that many people don't even realize that the
airbags have deployed. The airbags also inflate
with a great deal of force and nothing should be
in their way when they deploy. Front airbags in
combination with properly worn safety belts slow
down and limit the occupant's forward move-
ment. Together they help to prevent the driver
and passenger from hitting parts of the inside
the vehicle while reducing the forces acting on
the occupant during the crash. In this way they
help to reduce the risk of injury to the head and
upper body in the crash. Airbags do not protect
the arms or the lower parts of the body.
Both front airbags will not inflate in all frontal
collisions. The triggering of the airbag system de-
pends on the vehicle deceleration rate caused by
the collision and registered by the electronic con-
trol unit. If this rate is below the reference value
programmed into the control unit, the airbags
will not be triggered, even though the car may be
badly damaged as a result of the collision. Vehi-
cle damage, repair costs or even the lack of vehi-
cle damage is not necessarily an indication of
whether an airbag should inflate or not.
Since the circumstances will vary considerably
between one collision and another, it is not possi-
ble to define a range of vehicle speeds that will
cover every possible kind and angle of impact
that will always trigger the airbags. Important
factors include, for example, the nature (hard or
soft) of the object which the car hits, the angle of
impact, vehicle speed, etc. The front airbags will >
