Key Delivery Inspection Points

Before a new 2021 Audi A7, S7, or RS 7 is handed over to a customer, dealers must complete a detailed inspection. This ensures the vehicle meets Audi's quality standards and is ready for use. Key steps include:

• Vehicle Condition: Inspect the exterior for any damage, dings, dents, or surface scratches. Verify that the vehicle is equipped as specified and that all accessories are installed.
• Interior Check: Ensure the interior is clean, free of grease marks, and that floor mats are securely locked in place.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Set tire pressures to the "normal customer load" conditions and calibrate (store) the TPMS prior to delivery.
• Pre-Delivery Repair: All defects identified during inspection must be repaired prior to customer delivery.
• Digital Setup: Complete myAudi registration, Audi connect trial activation, and key user verification. Customers must agree to Audi connect Terms & Conditions and set a 4-digit S-PIN in the myAudi smartphone app. Key User Pairing in the vehicle must be completed if equipped, and a completed Audi phone box registration form provided to the customer (if equipped).
