Economical use of the climate control system
Economical use of the climate control system helps save
fuel.

tion is affected. To keep the time the climate control system
is on as short as possible, you should do the following:
- To save fuel, turn off cooling mode by pressing the AC
button (indicator light goes out).
- In addition, if you open the window or the panoramic
sliding/tilting sunroof * while driving, turn off cooling
mode by pressing the AC button (indicator light goes

unintentionally and replaces the hand brake.
In addition to the normal functions of a traditional hand brake, the
elec tromechanica l pa rk ing brake provides various convenie nce and
safety functions.
When starting from rest
• T he integral starting assist he lps you when driving by automati ­
cally re leasing the parking brake~ page 113, "Starting from rest" .
• When starting on inclin es, the star ting assist prevents the
vehic le fro m unintentionally rolling back . The braking force of the
parking brake is not released until sufficient driving force has been
built up at the whee ls .
Em erg en cy b rake f uncti on
An emergency brake ensures that the vehic le can be slowed down
even if the normal brakes fail~ page 114, "Emergency braking".

& WARNING
If a gear or a drive range (automatic transmission) is engaged with
the vehicle stationary and the engine running, you must in no
instance accelerate or release the clutch carelessly . Otherwise the
vehicle will start to move immediately -risk of an accident.
0 Note
If the symbol (CD) in the display or the indicator light BRAKE (USA
models)/ {(i)) (Canada models) in the instrument cluster flashes, there
is a malfunction in the brake system. By pressing the
[SET] button,
you can bring up a driver message which explains the malfunction in more detail. If the driver message
Parking brake! appears, there
is an operating malfunction in the parking brake which you should
have repaired immediately by an authorized Audi dealer or other
qualified workshop ~
page 29.
[ i] Tips
• You can apply the parking brake at any time -even with the igni ­
tion turned off. The ignition must be turned on in order to release
the parking brake.
• Occasional noises when the parking brake is applied and
released are normal and are not a cause for concern.
• When the vehicle is parked, the parking brake goes through a
self -test cycle at regular intervals. Any associated noises are
normal. •
Parking
Various rules apply to prevent the parked vehicle from
rolling away accidentally.
Parking
- Stop the vehicle with the foot brake.
Controls and equip ­
ment
- Pull the switch to apply the parking brake.
- Automatic transmission*: Move the selector lever to
P.
- Turn the engine off=:,& .
- Manual transmission: Shift into 1st gear.
In addition on inclines and grades
-Turn the steering wheel so that your vehicle will roll
against the curb in case it should start to move.
& WARNING
• When you leave your vehicle -even if only briefly -always
remove the ignition key. This applies particularly when children
remain in the vehicle. Otherwise the children could start the
engine, release the parking brake or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows). There is the risk of an accident.
• When the vehicle is locked, no one -particularly not children
should remain in the vehicle. Locked doors make it more difficult
for emergency workers to get into the vehicle -putting lives at
risk. •
Starting from rest
The starting assist function ensures that the parking
brake is released automatically upon starting.
Stopping and applying parking brake
-Pull the switch to apply the parking brake.
Starting and automatically releasing the parking
brake
-When you start to drive as usual, the parking brake is
automat ically released and your vehicle begins to move . .,..
