Fig. 11 Your vehicle key set
@ Remote or convenience key*
The convenience key* is a remote control key with
special functions > page 21 and > page 75.
You can unlock/lock your vehicle with the remote
control key. A mechanical key is integrated in the
remote control key > page 20.
@ 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.
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.
ZX 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
Press both of the outer buttons on the con-
trol unit > page 28, fig. 28 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. 29.
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 29.
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. 29 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.
Rolling code programming
Applies to: vehicles with garage door opener
On some systems, programming a rolling code is
also necessary.
Identifying a rolling code
> Press the button in the control unit that is al-
ready programmed again and hold it down.
>» Watch the green LED @) & page 28, fig. 28. If
the green LED blinks quickly, the system (such
as a garage door) has a rolling code.
> Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating the system motor unit
> Locate the programming button on the system
motor unit. The exact location and color of the
button may vary depending on the brand.
> Press the programming button on the system
motor unit (usually this will activate a “display” >
29
Driving
Stopping the engine
> Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
> Press the [START ENGINE STOP] button.
Emergency off function*
If it is absolutely necessary, the engine can also
be turned off while driving at speeds starting at
4 mph (7 km/h). To stop the engine, press the
START ENGINE STOP] button twice in a row or
press and hold it one time.
Z\ WARNING
— Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop. Switching it
off before the vehicle has stopped may im-
pair the function of the brake booster and
power steering. You may need to use more
force when braking or steering. Because you
cannot brake and steer as you usually would,
this could lead to accidents and serious inju-
ries.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. If you
do not do this, the engine could be started
and electrical equipment such as the power
windows could be activated. This can lead to
serious injuries.
— For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there is the risk that the vehicle
could roll unintentionally.
@) Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for
an extended period of time, heat builds up in
the engine compartment after the engine is
switched off and there is a risk of damaging
the engine. For this reason, let the engine run
at idle for approximately two minutes before
shutting it off.
@) Tips
For up to 10 minutes after stopping the en-
gine, the radiator fan may turn on again auto-
matically or it may continue to run, even if the
ignition is switched off.
