Without touching the remote control key, the doors and boot lid can be locked and unlocked.
The Audi Q7 cannot be locked unless the selector lever is moved to position P.
Close the door and touch the door handle sensor once to lock the Audi Q7 (Fig. 26o, o). Do not grasp the door handle at the same time.
Any door on the Audi Q7 can be used to lock or unlock the vehicle. 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.
If you grab the door handle as the Audi Q7 is being locked, the locking mechanism can be compromised.
Once the doors are locked, they cannot be quickly unlocked. You can then ensure that the doors are properly closed.
Depending on the settings you have selected on the infotainment system linko, the system will either open all of the doors or only one of the doors.
Avoid leaving anyone inside an Audi Q7 equipped with an anti-theft alarm system* if the safelock mechanism* is engaged and the doors and windows cannot be opened from the inside. This applies especially to minors. Locked doors could prevent help from arriving in an emergency, possibly endangering lives.
If the Audi Q7 is parked for an extended period of time, please take note of the following:
- The proximity sensors are turned off after a few days in order to conserve electricity. The Audi Q7 must then be unlocked and opened by pulling the door handle a total of twice.
- The power management system progressively turns off convenience features that are not needed to keep the battery from being depleted and retain the Audi Q7’s starting ability for as long as feasible. This handy feature might not work in this situation to unlock the Audi Q7.

Hire an expert to help you.
Place your car in a parking spot far from moving traffic. Hire an expert to help you.
You can keep driving at a reasonable speed. If the indicator lamp goes out, you can resume normal driving.
Once the gearbox has cooled down again, this notice will show up if an overheating-related gearbox fault has occurred.
