Audi RS Q3   Controls  Driving
Switch off ignition. Battery is being discharged
This message appears and the buzzer sounds if you open the driver's door while the ignition is switched on.
Press brake pedal to start engine
This message appears on vehicles with an automatic gearbox if you try to start the engine without first pressing the brake pedal.
Please engage N or P
This message will appear if you try to start or switch off the engine when the selector lever is not in N or P. The engine can then not be started or switched off.
Key not in vehicle?
If the indicator lamp lights up and the message appears, the convenience key* was removed from the vehicle while the engine was running. If the convenience key is not in the vehicle you will not be able to switch on the ignition or restart the engine after it has been switched off. You will also not be able to lock the vehicle from the outside.
Shift to P, vehicle can roll away. Doors can only be locked in P.
For safety reasons, this message will appear together with a warning tone if the selector lever is not in position P when you switch off the ignition. Put the selector lever in position P; otherwise the vehicle can roll away and cannot be locked.
No key identified. See owner's manual.
This message appears if there is no convenience key* inside the vehicle or if the system cannot detect or identify the key. This can happen, for example, if the radio signal from the key is obstructed by a metal briefcase or similar, or if the key battery is weak. Electronic equipment, such as mobile phones, can also interfere with the radio signal from the key.
The engine can still be started or stopped if this happens (please refer to Link).
