Audi A6 Typ 4G: Central locking

Description

You can lock and unlock the vehicle centrally. You have the following options:

  • Remote control key,
  • Sensors in the door handles,
  • Lock cylinder on the driver's door, or
  • Interior central locking switch.

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/hood is not closed or the ignition is still switched on.

Auto Lock

The Auto Lock function locks all doors and the luggage compartment lid once the speed has exceeded approximately 9 mph (15 km/h).

The vehicle can be unlocked if the opening function in the central locking system switch is used or one of the door handles is pulled.

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 entire vehicle should be unlocked when unlocking.

Unintentionally locking yourself out

The following conditions prevent you from locking 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 remote control key or touching the locking sensor on a door.
  • When locking using the button in the central locking switch, the vehicle will not lock if a door is open.
  • On vehicles with a convenience key, the luggage compartment lid unlocks again after closing if the most recently used key is in the luggage compartment. The emergency flashers blink four times.

Do not lock your vehicle with the remote control key or convenience key until all doors and the luggage compartment lid are closed. This helps to prevent you from locking yourself out accidentally.

Closing aid on the doors

The vehicle doors are equipped with closing aids.

When closing a door, you only have to let it fall lightly into the latch. It then closes automatically .

WARNING

  • When you lock your vehicle from outside, nobody - especially children - should remain inside the vehicle. Remember, when you lock the vehicle from the outside the windows cannot be opened from the inside.
  • When you leave the vehicle, always take the ignition key with you. This will prevent passengers (children, for example) from accidentally being locked in the vehicle should they accidentally press the power locking switch in the doors.
  • Do not leave children inside the vehicle unsupervised.

    In an emergency it would be impossible to open the doors from the outside without the key.

  • Applies to vehicles with power side door closer:
    • When closing a door, make sure nothingcan interfere with the door. This couldcause serious personal injury.
    • You can stop the door from closing at anytime by pulling on the inside or outsidedoor handle.

Tips

  • Do not leave valuables unattended in the vehicle.

    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.
