    What are the buttons on end of my door?

    I have two buttons on the end of my driver side door....where the locking mechanism catches and releases for the door to open and close. They show an icon of the car and then what looks like some kind of radar or signal icon above and in front of the car icon. It looks like it is indicating the switch for turning some kind of signal or sensor on and off.

    Can anyone tell me what these activate? Thanks.

    It will all be clear to you once you consult the OWNERS MANUAL

    One is the emergency eject button and the other begins the AASDS (Automated Audi Self Destruct Sequence).

    I thought they ran the cappuccino machine. That explains why the seat kept getting shot out...

    Not all R8's have the switches. Mine's an early 2009 USA spec car, and does not have them. I'm not sure if that's a bug or a feature.
