Only the front doors and boot lid can lock and unlock the Audi A3. The necessary door or boot lid must be within a distance of the remote control key of about 1.5 meters. It makes no difference where you keep the key, such as in your jacket pocket, a handbag, or a briefcase.
If you hold on to the door handle while the Audi A3 is being locked, the locking mechanism may be impacted.
Once the doors are locked, they cannot be quickly unlocked. You can use this to make sure the driver’s door is properly closed.

Avoid leaving anyone inside an Audi A3 equipped with an anti-theft alarm system* if the safelock mechanism* is engaged and the doors and windows cannot be opened from the inside Link. This goes double for kids. Locked doors could prevent help from arriving in an emergency, possibly endangering lives.
applies to Audi A3s with the START ENGINE STOP* button and the start/stop system: When the start/stop mechanism shuts off the engine, the ignition stays on. Make sure to turn off the ignition before leaving the Audi A3 Link. The Audi A3 cannot be locked if this is the case.
If the Audi A3 is parked for an extended period of time, please take note of the following:

- The power management system gradually turns off convenience features that are not needed in order to keep the battery from being depleted and maintain the Audi A3’s starting ability for as long as possible. This handy feature might not work in this situation to unlock the Audi A3.
