Audi Q5: Central locking

General description

The power locking system locks or unlocks all doors and the rear lid simultaneously.

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

  • Remote master key
  • Door handles with Convenience key
  • Lock cylinder at the driver's door
    or
  • Power locking switch inside

Selective unlocking

When you lock the vehicle, the power locking system will lock the doors and the rear lid. When unlocking, you can set in the radio or in the MMI whether on/y the driver's door or the entire vehicle should be unlocked.

Automatic locking

The automatic locking feature locks all the vehicle doors and the rear lid when you drive faster than 9 mph (15 km/h).

The car is unlocked again once the ignition key is removed. In addition, the vehicle can be unlocked if the opening function in the power locking system switch or at one of the door levers is actuated.

Additionally, in the event of a crash with airbag deployment the doors are automatically unlocked to allow access to the vehicle.

Anti-theft alarm warning system

If the anti-theft alarm warning system detects a break-in into the vehicle, acoustic and visual warning signals are triggered.

The anti-theft warning system is activated automatically when you Lock the vehicle. It is deactivated when unlocking using the remote key, with the mechanical key, and when you switch on the ignition.

The alarm also turns off when the alarm cycle has expired.

Turn signals

When you unlock the vehicle, the turn signals flash twice. When you lock the vehicle, the turn signals flash once. If they do not flash, one of the doors, the rear lid or the hood is not locked.

Unintentionally locking yourself out

In the following cases there safeguards to prevent you locking your remote master key in the vehicle:

  • The vehicle does not lock with the power locking switch if the driver's door is open.
  • On vehicles with Convenience key, if the most recently used master key is in the luggage compartment, the rear lid is automatically unlocked again after it is closed.

Do not lock your vehicle with the remote master key or Convenience key until all doors and the rear lid are closed. In this way you avoid locking yourself out accidentally.

WARNING

  • When you Leave the vehicle, always remove the ignition key and take it 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 front 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.

Tips

  • In the event of a crash with airbag deployment all locked doors will be automatically unlocked to give access to the vehicle occupants from the outside.
  • If the power locking system should malfunction, you can lock the driver's door using the mechanical key.
  • If the power locking system should fail, you can still open the fuel tank flap in an emergency.
  • You are well advised not to keep valuables inside an unattended vehicle, visible or not.

    Even a properly locked vehicle cannot provide the security of a safe.

  • If the LED in the upper edge of the driver's door panel comes on for about 30 seconds after the vehicle is Locked, there is a malfunction in the power locking or the antitheft warning system. Have the malfunction corrected by an authorized Audi dealership or qualified repair facility.
