Shenstone, you’re understanding is right.
Press lock twice when leaving passengers in the vehicle (second time it flashes hazards again and makes a quieter than normal clunk as it disengaged the deadlocks). The internal movement sensors are also turned off by this procedure.
Periodically, I’ll leave the dog in the car, but never on a hot day for longer than five to ten minutes, lest somebody get on their high horse! Then I double lock so the sensors are off. This is a security risk because a coat hanger could easily open the car through a window via the interior handle, but since it’s only ever while I run to the store, I’ll take the risk (I believe that if you press the button on the driver’s door card it deactivates sensors but keeps deadlocks, but I’m lazy!).
Returning I depress the lock to close all the windows, then I grab the handle to enter normally (I have an advanced key).

What does a car’s deadlock mean?
Deadlocks prevent doors from being opened from the inside by mechanically disengaging all door handles.
Both keyless locking (Passive Entry) and the remote control key are used to open deadlocks. After the doors have locked, the deadlocks begin to operate after roughly 10 seconds.
Note
The process is halted and the alarm is deactivated if a door is opened during the delay time.
Only while deadlocks are engaged can the car be unlocked using the remote control key, keyless entry, or the Volvo On Call* app (see the section “Volvo On Call* app”).
With the blade of the removable key, you can also unlock the front left door. The alarm* will go off if the automobile is unlocked using the blade of the detachable key. To silence the warning, refer to the “Alarm” section.
Has the Audi Q5 had a security system?
When you lock the car normally, the anti-theft alarm system is turned on. When you open the car, it is turned off again. If the boot lid, the bonnet, or any of the doors are pushed open, the alarm goes off.
I have an Audi Q5, how can I turn the alarm off?
When the Audi Q5 is unlocked, the turn signals will flash twice, and when it is locked, they will only flash once. One of the doors, the bonnet, or the tailgate may still be open if the turn signals do not flash.
When the Audi Q5 accelerates past a speed of roughly 15 km/h, the Auto Lock feature locks the doors and the tailgate.
When the ignition key is taken out, the Audi Q5 is once more unlocked. The Audi Q5 can also be opened by pulling one of the inside door handles or by using the central locking switch. The sound system or MMI*Link both offer the ability to turn on and off the Auto Lock feature.
The doors will automatically unlock in the event of an accident when the airbags deploy to make accessing help easier.
The Audi Q5’s central locking mechanism locks all the doors and the tailgate when you lock the vehicle. Depending on the setting you have chosen on the sound system or MMI*Link, the central locking system of the Audi Q5 will either unlock the driver’s door solely or all the locks on the vehicle.
A deadlock mechanism is used in conjunction with the central locking system. The interior door handles become inactive when the Audi Q5 has been locked from the outside. As a result, breaking into the Audi Q5 is more challenging.
When the Audi Q5 is interfered with, the anti-theft alarm system sounds and lights an alarm.
When the Audi Q5 is locked, the anti-theft alarm system activates itself. If you use the remote control to open the Audi Q5, it turns off immediately.
The ignition must be turned on within 15 seconds after using the key to unlock the Audi Q5’s driver’s door for the alarm to not go off. When you open a door, the alarm goes off instantly on some export versions.
Press the unlock button on the remote control key or turn on the ignition to turn off the alarm. When the alarm’s cycle is complete, it will also turn itself off.
If you want to stop the alarm from going off unintentionally Link, turn off the interior monitor and tow-away protection.
In the following circumstances, the central locking system keeps you from being locked out of the Audi Q5:
- If you depress the central locking switch and then close the door Link, the Audi Q5 won’t lock when the driver’s door is open.
- If the remote control key that was most recently in use is still inside the boot when the tailgate is closed, the tailgate on Audi Q5s with convenience key* will automatically open again Link.
If the automobile is locked from the outside and the deadlock mechanism is engaged, never leave anyone inside (particularly youngsters), as the doors and windows cannot be opened from the inside. Locked doors could prevent help from arriving in an emergency, possibly endangering lives.
- Never leave anything of value in the Audi Q5 while driving. A locked Audi Q5 is still not safe.
- When the Audi Q5 is locked, if the diode on the driver’s window sill illuminates for roughly 30 seconds, the central locking system or anti-theft alarm* is malfunctioning. Please have the fault fixed by an authorized workshop or an Audi dealer.
- Only with the windows and panorama sun roof closed can the inside monitor of the anti-theft alarm* system operate as designed.
How is a locked car unlocked?
If the keys are still in the ignition, all you have to do to unlock the vehicle is turn the key to the “on” position, which will deactivate the deadlock mechanism, and then lock or unlock the inside power doors.
What results from a deadlock?
A deadlock occurs when two computer programs that are using the same resource effectively block each other from using it, which causes both programs to stop working.
One program could only run at a time on the first computer operating systems. This one software had access to all the system’s resources. Later, operating systems interlaced the execution of several programs at once. For the purpose of preventing conflicts with other programs that were running at the same time, programs were obliged to identify in advance what resources they required. Eventually, several operating systems included dynamic resource allocation. After they started operating, programs could ask for further resource allocations. This resulted in the deadlock issue. Here is the most basic illustration:
No longer can either program run until the other releases a resource. The operating system is unable to determine what to do. The only remaining option is to cancel (stop) one of the programs.
Understanding how to resolve deadlocks had a significant influence on the creation of operating systems and database architecture. In order to prevent deadlocks, the data was formatted and the order of requests was limited.

Why does the alarm on my Audi A1 constantly going off?
Unwanted car alarm buzzing is a typical problem that many people experience. When people are sleeping at night and your car alarm suddenly activates for no apparent reason, the situation is much more annoying.
What causes this to occur? Fortunately, a robber doesn’t set off the alarm every time; occasionally, a malfunctioning installation or other factors might cause the alarm to go off. What is causing a car alarm to sporadically sound?
Low battery power or an improperly calibrated movement sensor are the two most frequent causes of an uncontrollable automobile alarm. Additionally, it might be brought on by a broken key fob, door lock sensor, hood latch sensor, or an improperly fitted car alarm.
Now that you’ve seen a quick overview of the most frequent causes, let’s look at a more thorough breakdown of the seven most frequent reasons why your car alarm keeps going off:
What is interior monitoring in an Audi?
One response: Joey Chin. When the car is locked, the alarm will sound if anybody or something moves inside (like an animal) or if the car’s inclination changes (e.g. during transport).
With the keys inside the car, can an Audi Q5 be locked?
Any door on the car can be used to lock or unlock it. The distance between the door handle and the remote control key should be no more than 1.5 meters. It makes no difference where you keep the key, such as in your jacket pocket or a briefcase.
With the keys inside, do Audis lock?
When locking the car, the following rules apply:
The vehicle cannot be locked from the outside using the sensor if the last-used key is discovered inside the passenger compartment. Take the car.
Keep your car’s key nearby and lock it once again. Without this, the car won’t be secured against unwanted entry.
When the front passenger door or rear door is open and you accidentally insert the vehicle key inside the passenger compartment and close the door, and then attempt to lock the vehicle using the button on the vehicle key,
The car will first lock. However, if the key-free system discovers a car key within the
after locking, the vehicle will then unlock once more. To signal this, the turn signals will flash many times. The vehicle will lock automatically if you don’t open it to remove the key in a small window of time. This stops the car from being unlocked for an extended length of time. After that, the car key will be secured within.
If the lid of the luggage compartment closes and the system notices that the most recent vehicle key used is there,
subsequently, the cover of the luggage compartment will reopen. Turn signal lights will
flash repeatedly to convey this. It will lock the doors. Always bring your car key with you to prevent theft or unlawful entry.
