The electronic options stored in the Audi Q5's control unit, aimed at safeguarding all possible safety criteria, are numerous. Among these is the warning in question, which advises you to turn off the engine because the driver's door has been detected as open.

The message that will appear on the dashboard is identical in form to the one shown in the video. However, it's important to note that not all of these messages are so easily resolved; in some cases, you need to connect to the OBD port with a diagnostic tool to reset.
