Driver's seat position memory

The memory buttons located in the driver's door can be used to program and recall four different seat and exterior mirror positions*.



Driver's door: memory device

Storage keys

Memory buttons 1, 2, 3 and 4 can be used to program and recall up to four different seat and exterior mirror positions*.

STOP key

The seat position memory is switched off by pressing the STOP button. The OFF sign next to the STOP button lights up (visible only when the light is on).

All entered positions are saved in the memory. The position of the seat and exterior mirrors* can only be adjusted in the usual way - using the electric drive. It is recommended to switch off the memory device by pressing the STOP button if the driver uses the car occasionally and therefore does not need to program the seat position for him.

Warning: Programmed positions can also be played back using the radio remote control, see below.

Programming of positions

When programming and playing all functions, the key must be pressed (depressed) STOP.



1. Adjust the driver's seat position, see above.

2. Adjust the position of both outside mirrors, see. Lighting and visibility.

3. Press and hold the key MEMO. Additionally, press and hold one of the memory device keys for at least 1 second.

4. Release the keys. This position is now entered into memory and corresponds to the number of the key selected during entry.

Each time you reprogram the same key, the previous data is reset. When programming, it is recommended to start with key 1, leaving one of the remaining keys for other drivers.

When locking the car with a radio key (remote radio control) the last position of the seat and mirrors is entered into the memory. This position of the seat and mirrors is automatically reproduced by the remote control the next time the car is unlocked. The position of the outside mirrors is reproduced immediately after unlocking, and the position of the driver's seat after opening the driver's door.

However, this does not reset the data of the memory device of the previously undertaken distribution by keys 1-4. At any time, it is possible to reproduce the entered positions by the corresponding keys.

Reproduction of provisions

The programmed positions can be reproduced both by the memory keys and by the radio remote control (radio key).

Playback with storage keys

1. With the driver's door open, press the corresponding memory key once.

2. With the driver's door closed, press and hold the appropriate memory button until the seat and outside mirrors reach the programmed position.

Playback by remote control

1. Unlock the car with the radio remote control and within the next 10 minutes, open the driver's door.

If the driver's door remains closed for 10 minutes after unlocking the vehicle using the remote control, the seat position is reproduced using the memory keys.

Programming the radio key

To reproduce the entered positions by the remote radio control, it is necessary to program the radio key to the memory device key.

Programming a radio key to a memory device key

1. Use the corresponding key of the memory device to which the given key should correspond to reproduce the programmed positions.

2. Press and hold this key and within 10 seconds additionally press the radio key unlock button.

3. After about 2 seconds, release the key.

Cancelling programming of a radio key to a memory device key

1. Press and hold the key MEMO and within 10 seconds additionally press the radio key release button.

2. After about 2 seconds, release the key MEMO.

When reprogramming, the previous data is automatically reset.

It is recommended to program so that key 1 corresponds to one and key 2 to the other factory radio key. If necessary, two other radio keys can be purchased through an Audi contract partner and programmed to keys 3 and 4.

Roof rack

The car's gutters are made in the roof to take away rainwater. Therefore, do not use regular roof racks designed for installation on the car's roof.

If other roof rack mounting systems are used or if the rack is not installed according to the instructions, any damage that occurs as a result of this will not be covered by warranty repairs.

Attachment points

Attach the roof rack only to the marked locations.



Luggage rack support bracket mounting points

Installation

When installing the support brackets, make sure that they fit precisely between the marking arrows in the roof sealing lip. The markings are only visible when the doors are open.

Roof load

The load on the roof must be securely fastened. When transporting cargo, the dynamic properties of the car change.

The permissible load on the roof of your car is 75 kg. The roof load is determined by the sum of the weight of the fastening system and the load.

When using mounting systems with a lower load capacity, the permissible roof load cannot be fully utilized. The roof rack may only be loaded up to the limit specified in the installation instructions.

Warning: Remove the roof rack immediately after use. Fuel consumption increases at high speed due to increased aerodynamic drag.
