WARNING (continued)

Note

operated equipment such as the electric windows - this could lead

to injuries.

• The parking brake can be applied at any time - even when the

ignition is switched off. However, the ignition must be switched on

before the parking brake can be released.

• Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the vehicle when it

is locked. Locked doors could delay assistance in an emergency,

potentially putting lives at risk.

• Any slight noise which may be heard when the parking brake is

applied or released is quite normal and no cause for concern.

• The parking brake runs an automatic test cycle at regular inter-

vals when the vehicle is parked. This may also cause a slight noise,

which is normal.

Driving away from a standstill

The parking brake auto release function releases the

parking brake automatically when you wish to start

moving.

Parking

Please note the following points to ensure there is no risk

of the car rolling away accidentally after it is parked.

Applying the parking brake when stopping

– Pull the switch to apply the parking brake.

Parking the car

Releasing the parking brake when driving away

– Use the foot brake to stop the vehicle.

– Drive off in the normal way: the parking brake will be

released automatically and the vehicle will start moving.

– Pull the switch to apply the parking brake.

– Automatic gearbox: Move the selector lever to P.

On vehicles with automatic gearbox, you can apply the parking

brake when stopping at traffic lights, etc. Then you do not have to

hold the car with the footbrake, as the parking brake will stop it

creeping forward while a gear is engaged in the automatic transmis-

sion. When you drive off in the normal way, the parking brake will be

released automatically and the vehicle will start moving.

– Switch off the engine ⇒

.

– Manual gearbox: Engage the first gear.

When parking on slopes

– Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle would roll into

the kerb if it did start to move accidentally.

Driving away on a slope

When driving away on a gradient, the parking brake auto release

function prevents the vehicle from rolling back unintentionally. The

braking force of the parking brake is only released when there is

enough power at the wheels to make the vehicle move in the desired

direction.

WARNING

• Always take the key with you when leaving the vehicle – even

if you only intend to be gone for a short time. This is especially

important if children are left in the car. They might otherwise be

able to start the engine, release the parking brake or use power-

The effect is the same as an emergency stop (full brake application)

⇒

Note

For safety reasons the parking brake will only release automatically

if the driver's seat belt is engaged in its buckle.

To prevent the emergency braking function from being used acci-

dentally, a warning buzzer sounds when the switch is operated. The

brakes are released immediately when you release the switch or

press down the accelerator.

Driving away when towing a trailer

Please note the following points to prevent the vehicle

from rolling back unintentionally on a gradient.

WARNING

You should only use the emergency braking function in a real

emergency, for example if the brake system should fail or if the

brake pedal is obstructed. If you use the emergency braking func-

tion by activating the parking brake switch, the effect is similar to

a full brake application (emergency stop). Please remember that

the ESP (with its combined ABS, EDL and traction control func-

tions) is still subject to certain physical limits. In a corner or in bad

road or weather conditions an emergency stop can cause the

vehicle to skid or lose steering control.

– Pull and hold the parking brake switch and press the

accelerator. The parking brake will remain engaged and

prevent any tendency to roll back down the slope.

– You can release the parking brake switch as soon as the

engine is delivering enough power to the wheels.

Depending on the weight of the vehicle and trailer and the steep-

ness of the slope, there may be a tendency to roll back downhill

when driving away from a standstill. You can prevent this by pulling

out the parking brake switch as you press the accelerator (in the

same way as with a conventional handbrake).

Driver messages in the instrument cluster

display

Caution: Vehicle parked too steep

Emergency braking function

This message can appear when you apply the parking brake if the

car is parked on a gradient steeper than about 30%.

This feature enables you to stop the vehicle if the main

brake system should fail or if the pedal is obstructed.

In this case the parking brake may not be strong enough to prevent

the vehicle from rolling back accidentally.

– Pull out and hold the parking brake switch to stop the

vehicle with the parking brake in an emergency.

Please release parking brake

– The brakes will be released immediately if you release the

switch or press down the accelerator.

However, please remember that, for safety reasons, the parking

brake will only release automatically if the driver's seat belt is

buckled.

If you pull out and hold the parking brake switch at a road speed

above about 8 km/h, this will initiate an emergency brake applica-

tion. The brakes are then applied hydraulically at all four wheels.

is on, you don't have to keep your foot on the brake to prevent the

vehicle from accidentally rolling away. Once it detects that the

vehicle is stopped, Audi hold assist keeps the vehicle stationary. The

green symbol  in the instrument cluster indicates that the func-

tion is activated. You can now take your foot off the brake pedal.

Note

• Audi hold assist can be switched on only when the driver's door

is closed, the driver's seat belt is buckled and the engine is running.

• Audi hold assist prevents automatic vehicles from creeping

forwards when the brake pedal is released with the car in gear.

As soon as you drive off in the normal way, the parking brake will

automatically be released and the vehicle will start moving.

• When the vehicle has been stationary for an extended period,

Audi hold assist will automatically apply the parking brake. In this

case, the green symbol  in the instrument cluster display will

change to red .

If the conditions for Audi hold assist change and the function is

switched off as a result, the parking brake will be applied automati-

cally to ensure that the vehicle is parked safely. The diode in the

button will go out when the Audi hold assist function is switched

off.

Cruise control system

Introduction

WARNING

The cruise control system allows you to maintain a

constant speed.

The intelligent technology in Audi hold assist cannot defy the laws

of physics. Do not let the extra convenience provided by Audi hold

assist tempt you into taking a safety risk.

• Audi hold assist cannot keep the vehicle stationary in all condi-

tions on a gradient (e.g. if the road is slippery or icy).

• Audi hold assist must be switched on again each time the

engine is started – Risk of accident!

• Never get out of the vehicle when the engine is running and

Audi hold assist is switched on – Risk of accident!

fig. 135. The indicator lamp lights up while the system is operating

⇒ fig. 136.

Note

• On vehicles with a manual gearbox, the set speed cannot be

reached if the currently selected gear is too high or too low. Change

down to a lower gear when the engine no longer runs “smoothly” or

change up a gear to avoid overrevving the engine.

The cruise control system is automatically deactivated immediately

when you press the brake pedal.

On vehicles with a manual gearbox, the cruise control system will be

deactivated if the clutch is pressed for a long time.

• The brake lights come on when the system brakes the vehicle.

WARNING

• Always direct your full attention to the road, even when you are

using the cruise control system. It is always you who is respon-

sible for determining your speed and for keeping a safe distance

to the other vehicles on the road.

• For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used

in city traffic, stop-go traffic, roads with a lot of bends or in diffi-

cult driving conditions (such as ice, fog, loose grit or gravel, heavy

rain, aquaplaning) - this could cause an accident!
