A1 Sportback Convenience Features

Anti-dazzle technology

An optional feature of the Audi A1 Sportback is the auto-dimming rear-view mirror, which intelligently dims when light is emitted onto it from behind. This eliminates dazzling from following vehicles. The option also includes the light and rain sensors.

Light and Rain sensors
Clear visibility - no matter the conditions

The light and rain sensors, available as a stand-alone option, can automatically activate or deactivate the low-beam headlights and the windscreen wipers when required. This is particularly convenient, for instance, in unpredictable and poor weather, entering tunnels, or simply, when it’s getting dark. And the rain sensor reacts to the strength of the rain - adapting the wiper interval accordingly – meaning you can just concentrate on driving.

Advanced Key
The key you can keep in your pocket

The optional advanced key allows you to keep the key in your pocket all the time.

The doors unlock automatically when you approach the car and you can start the engine simply by pressing the start/stop button in the centre console.

Cruise Control
Cruise control on a compact hatchback

Providing your Audi A1 Sportback has the Driver’s Information System, it’s possible to opt for cruise control.

At speeds of over 25mph, just a simple, swift operation of the cruise control stalk will hold your speed until you brake or cancel. Cruise control brings significantly more comfort and relaxation to long motorway and dual carriageway driving; one of those things that it becomes difficult to live without.

Central locking

The Audi A1 Sportback has central locking as standard – so whichever model you choose, you’ll never have to fumble with keys.

As always, your safety is taken into prime consideration; it’s possible to unlock only the driver’s door. And when you move off, all Audi vehicles automatically lock all the doors above 10mph.
