should only be used in an emergency. Do not carry
it on your key ring and do not store it in the vehicle.
Replacing a key
If a key is lost, see an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility. Have this key deactivated.
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. Select:

button > Service & checks > Programmed keys. This way, you can make sure that
you have
all the keys when purchasing a used vehicle.

the vehicle.
Under certain circumstances, the vehicle may not
be able to start if there is a 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 control
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 convenience
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 assigned
to the remote master key.

- Interior lighting
- Memory function
- Parking aid
- Adaptive cruise control

The stored settings are automatically recalled
when you unlock the vehicle, open the doors or
turn on the ignition.
WARNING
Always take the vehicle key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short period of
time. This applies particularly when children
remain in the vehicle. Otherwise the children could start the engine or operate
electrical
equipment such as power windows.
Tips

be temporarily disrupted by interference
