Users
General information
Applies to: vehicles with personalized user settings Depending on vehicle equipment and your country, your vehicle may be able to manage various users in the MMI. Each user will be assigned the settings that they last used.
Before you begin driving, you can select a user in the MMI and load personalized Infotainment and vehicle settings.
Possible users in the MMI: — myAudi user: as a myAudi user, you can use
Audi connect services that require a myAudi account. Certain settings are transferred online to your myAudi account. If you log into your myAudi account in another vehicle, you can load your settings in the other vehicle.
= Local user: as a local user, you can only store settings in the current vehicle. Your settings cannot be transferred to other vehicles. Audi connect services that can only be used with a myAudi account will not be available.
— Guest user: as a guest user, you can store settings in the vehicle without changing the settings for other users. Audi recommends only using the guest user temporarily, because settings can be overwritten by other users.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the following options may be used to detect the active user so that the user settings can be loaded automatically before you start driving. Vehicle key Requirement: the driver's door has been opened. The detected user must be shown in the MMI. Confirm the user shown, select another user page 31, or add another user > page 37.
It may not be possible to load Infotainment and vehicle settings, or they may only load partially. The driver is always responsible for the Infotainment and vehicle settings in order to reduce the risk of an accident.
Certain Infotainment and vehicle settings (such as mirrors, last radio stations) may be stored, depending on vehicle equipment. You can find additional information in the MMI. Select on the home screen: SETTINGS > General > Legal notes > About Audi connect.
— Applies to: myAudi users: The stored settings can only be transferred to vehicles that are capable of receiving the transmitted information. There may be restrictions that prevent this, particularly in other countries.
— Applies to: myAudi users: The settings can only be transferred and loaded when there is coverage from the applicable mobile phone service provider.
— Applies to: myAudi users with PIN protection switched on: If the MMI displays a detected user but you simply start driving or wait without entering the 4-digit PIN, then the guest user will be selected. Some settings for the detected myAudi user will be transferred to the guest user.

Opening and closing
Opening and closing Central locking General information
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition off and take the key with you. This applies particularly when children remain in the vehicle. Otherwise, children could start the vehicle or operate electrical equipment (such as power windows), which increases the risk of an accident.
— Applies to vehicles with anti-theft alarm system: When the vehicle is locked from the outside, no one - especially children - should remain in the vehicle, because the windows can no longer open from the inside > page 38, Anti-theft alarm system. Locked doors make it more difficult for emergency workers to enter the vehicle, which puts lives at risk.
— Applies to: child safety lock: No one, especially children, should stay in the vehicle when the child safety lock is activated, because the windows can no longer be opened from the inside. This increases the risk of fa~ tal injury.
All doors and the luggage compartment lid can be centrally unlocked and locked at once. You can select in the MMI if the entire vehicle or only the driver's door should unlock when unlocking the vehicle page 35. The turn signals flash twice when you unlock the vehicle and flash once when you lock the vehicle. If they do not flash when locking, check if all doors and lids are closed.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you may have different options for centrally unlocking and locking your vehicle. ~Vehicle key > page 40 ~ Sensors in the door handles = page 40 ~Lock cylinder in the driver's door page 37 ~ Interior central locking switch * page 36

Automatic locking If you unlock the vehicle but then do not open any of the doors, the luggage compartment, or the hood within a short period time, the vehicle locks again automatically. This feature prevents the vehicle from being accidentally left unlocked for a long period of time. Automatic locking (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 will unlock again if the unlock function in the central locking switch is pressed, the lector lever position is selected, or the ignition is switched off.
You can open the doors individually from the inside by pulling the door handle one time. To open the rear doors individually, you must pull the door handle twice. In the event of a crash with airbag deployment, the doors will also automatically unlock to allow access to the vehicle. Unintentionally locking yourself out Only lock your vehicle when all of the doors and the luggage compartment lid are closed and there is no key in the vehicle. This reduces the risk of locking yourself out accidentally. The following features help to reduce the risk of locking your vehicle key in the vehicle: ~ If the driver's door is open, the vehicle cannot
