Centrally controlled locking system (Audi A6 C5)

The central locking system allows all doors, the boot and the fuel filler flap to be locked or unlocked from a central location.

When the vehicle is unlocked and locked with the central locking system, all doors, the boot and the fuel filler flap are centrally unlocked or locked. The vehicle can be unlocked and locked using the remote control radio for the locks or the key on the driver's door and boot.

It is also possible to open and close the windows centrally. The lift-and-slide roof panel can only be closed centrally.

The centrally controlled locking system is equipped with a burglar-proof feature. When the car is locked from the outside, the door release handles inside the car do not work. This makes it more difficult to break into the car.

If the central locking system fails, all locks can be opened and closed independently with the key. The exception is the fuel filler cap.

Automatic locking

When the speed limit of 15 km/h is exceeded for the first time after starting the movement, all doors and the trunk are automatically locked.

The vehicle is automatically unlocked again after the ignition key is removed from the lock. The vehicle can also be unlocked by pressing the button located in the driver's door or by pulling the door handle twice.

At Audi, the central locking system can be equipped with an automatic locking function.

Attention. When the car is locked from the outside and the burglar protection is on, no people should remain in it - especially children, because in this case it will be impossible to open the doors and windows. Locked doors make it difficult for rescuers to enter the car in the event of an accident - life-threatening!

Note

• At Audi, the central locking system can be equipped with an additional level of security if desired.
• If the central locking system is faulty, the driver's door and trunk can be unlocked and locked with the key as normal.
• If the central locking system fails, it is not possible to activate the burglar protection and security alarm.

Unlocking with a key

• Turn the key inserted into the driver's door lock to the unlock position A or turn the key inserted into the trunk lock to the left.
• All doors, the fuel filler cap and, if necessary, the trunk are unlocked.
• All door lock buttons are pushed upwards.
• Anti-hacking protection is disabled.
• The security alarm is turned off.
• Holding the key in the unlock position opens the windows.

Locking with a key

• Turn the key inserted into the driver's door lock to the locking position B or turn the key inserted into the trunk lock to the right once.
• All doors and the trunk are locked.
• All door lock buttons are recessed.
• The interior lights that are in the door contact trigger position are switched off.
• Holding the key in the lock position closes the windows and the sliding roof panel.
• The anti-burglary protection and security alarm are activated immediately.

Locking a car without enabling anti-burglary protection

If it is necessary to leave passengers in the car, the doors can be locked without activating the burglar protection.

To do this, turn the key inserted into the driver's door lock to the locking position B twice in succession at short intervals.

With the anti-burglary protection disabled, the car can be unlocked from the inside. To do this, pull the handle of the corresponding door back once. The door opens by pulling the handle back again.

The anti-theft system, when activated, makes it more difficult for someone to break into your vehicle. When the anti-theft system is activated, the door handles and the central locking system switch do not work.

Attention. When the car is locked from the outside and the burglar protection is on, no one should remain in it, especially children, because in this case it will be impossible to open the doors and windows. Locked doors make it difficult for rescuers to enter the car in the event of an accident - life-threatening!

Note

• Also, when locking the car without activating the anti-burglary protection, the security alarm is activated. Therefore, first disable the interior control function, since otherwise the alarm may be triggered unintentionally.
• The driver's door cannot be locked when it is open. This can only be done after it is closed, and only for that door. This prevents all doors from being accidentally locked.
• If the central locking system fails, it is not possible to activate the burglar protection and security alarm.

Central locking system switch

A switch located in the driver's door allows the use of the central locking system in the vehicle's interior.



Locking all doors, trunk and fuel filler flap

• Press the bottom side of the switch.

Unlocking all doors, fuel filler cap and, if necessary, the trunk

• Press the top side of the switch.

When locking the vehicle with the central locking system switch, remember the following:

• Doors and trunk cannot be opened from the outside (prevents unwanted entry into the interior, for example when stopping at traffic lights).
• The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside independently by pulling the door handles. To unlock, pull the handle of the corresponding door until the lock button is pushed to the upper position. By pulling the handle again, the door can be opened from the inside. To lock, press and push the lock button of the corresponding door.
• The open driver's door cannot be locked by pressing this switch. This can only be done after it is closed, and only for this door. This prevents accidental locking of all doors.
• In the event of an accident with airbag deployment, doors locked from the inside are automatically unlocked to provide rescuers with access to the vehicle.

Warning. The central locking system switch also works when the ignition is switched off. When this switch is pressed, all doors and the trunk are automatically locked. Never leave children unattended in the car, as locked doors prevent outside assistance to people in the car in an emergency - life-threatening!

Note: When the burglar protection is enabled, the central locking system switch is not active.

Centrally controlled locking system with additional security function

The centrally controlled locking system with additional security function allows the driver's door and the fuel filler flap or boot to be unlocked only. The other locks remain locked.

Unlocking the driver's door and the fuel filler flap or trunk

Turn the key once in the unlocking direction or press the unlocking button of the remote control locks once.

Simultaneous unlocking of all doors, trunk and fuel filler flap

Within 5 seconds, turn the key twice in the unlocking direction or press the unlocking button of the remote control of the locks twice within 5 seconds.

Approximately 5 seconds after the trunk is unlocked, it automatically locks again.

Also, when unlocking only the driver's door or the trunk, the anti-burglary protection and security alarm are immediately disabled.

Trunk lid

The doors of the car can be centrally unlocked and locked from the trunk lock side.



Locking doors and trunk

• Turn the key to the right A.

Unlocking doors and trunk

• Turn the key to the left B.

Locking the doors and permanently locking the trunk in the locked position

• Turn the key a quarter turn to the right C.

Opening the trunk

• Pull one of the two hidden handles and lift the lid at the same time.

Closing the trunk

Pull the lid down and slam it shut with a light blow.

When the key is removed from the horizontal keyhole, the trunk lock is removed from the control of the central locking system and is permanently locked. When the key is returned to the vertical position, the trunk lock is again under the control of the central locking system.

Removing the boot lid downwards is made easier by gripping the groove on the inner lining.

Attention

• After closing the trunk, be sure to try to lift the lid to make sure it is locked. Otherwise, it may suddenly open while driving, even with the lock locked - risk of accident!
• To avoid exhaust gases getting into the passenger compartment and, as a result, poisoning, never drive with the trunk lid not fully closed, and especially with it open!
