Vehicle Key, Checking Function And Entering Number Of Assigned Keys

Procedure: 

-- Separate the set of keys so that the function of each key can be checked individually.

-- Start the engine using each key separately.

-- If a vehicle key is not adapted, readapt all existing vehicle keys to the vehicle using the Guided Functions on the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester via the GeKo online connection.

-- If there is suspicion of misuse (for example, a key is missing), pay attention to the current Audi AG information in ServiceNet under "Technical Service → Anti-theft protection".

NOTE:

Only store the key to be checked in the vehicle interior. Move the other keys outside of the operating range.

The engine switches off again after a few seconds if the key is not adapted. Depending on the vehicle equipment, the anti-theft immobilizer system indicator lamp or the display "SAFE" also appears in the instrument cluster.
