- Fig. 1 Keys supplied with the vehicle
-A- Remote control key with integrated emergency key
The remote control key can be used to lock and unlock the car. An emergency key is integrated in the remote control key Link.
-B- Spare key
This key is intended for temporary use only and should be used only in an emergency. Keep it in a safe place and do not carry it on the keyring.
Replacing a key
If you should lose a key, please contact an Audi dealer. Have the remote control coding for that key deactivated. For this purpose you should bring all available keys with you. It is also important to notify your insurance company if a key has been lost.
Number of keys
You can check how many keys are initialised for your vehicle using the infotainment system. To do this, select function selector button CAR > control button Car systems > Servicing & checks > Initialised keys. This feature enables used car buyers to make sure they have received all of the keys.
Electronic immobiliser
The immobiliser is designed to prevent unauthorised persons from driving the vehicle.
It may not be possible to start the engine with the key if there is another ignition key from a different make of vehicle on the same key ring.
Data stored on remote control key
Data related to the service and maintenance of the vehicle are stored continuously on your remote control key while you are driving. Your Audi dealer can read out the data and will then be able to tell you what service work is required. This also applies to vehicles with convenience key*.
Personal convenience settings
If two people use the same car regularly, it is a good idea for each person to have his or her "own" remote control key. When you switch off the ignition or lock the vehicle, your personal settings for the following convenience features are stored and assigned to the remote control key:
- Air conditioner
- Central locking system
- Windows and rear window blind*
- Background lighting*
- Memory function*
- Parking aid*
- Adaptive cruise control*
- Active lane assist*
- Side assist*
- Drive select*
- Night vision assist*
- Heating for steering wheel*
The stored settings are then recalled automatically the next time the vehicle is unlocked, the doors are opened or the ignition is switched on.
WARNING!
- Always take the key with you when leaving the vehicle - even if you only intend to be gone for a short time. This is especially important if children are left in the car. They might otherwise be able to start the engine or use power-operated equipment such as the electric windows - this could lead to injuries.
Note
The function of the remote control key may be impaired by interference from other nearby radio signals (for example from a mobile telephone or TV transmitter) if these are in the same frequency range.
