more detail. If the driver message Parking brake! appears, there is an
operat ing malfunction in the parking brake which you should have
repaired immediately by an authorized Audi dealer or other qualified
workshop ~
page 30.
[I] Tips
• You can apply the parking brake at any time -even with the igni­
tion turned off. The ig nition 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.
- Pull the switch to apply t he parking brake.
- Move the selector lever to P.
- Turn the engine off::::>&.
In addition on inclines and grades
-Turn the steering wheel so that your vehicle will ro ll

_& WARNING
• When you leave your vehicle -even if only briefly· always
remove the ignition key. This applies particularly when children

(continued )
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 auto -
matically released and your vehicle begins to move.
Whe n stopping at a tra ffic signal or stopping in city traffic on ve hicles
with an automatic transmission, the parking brake can be applied.
Th e vehicle does not have to be held with the footbrake. The parking
brake eliminates the tendency to creep with a drive range engaged.
As soon as you drive off as usual, the parking brake is released auto­
matically and the vehicle starts to move.
Starting on slopes
When starting on inclines, the starting assist prevents the vehicle
from 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. ..,

in. WARNING
Improperly stored luggage or other items can fly through the
vehicle causing serious personal injury in the event of hard braking
or an accident. To help reduce the risk of serious personal injury:
• Always put objects, for example, luggage or other heavy items
in the luggage compartment .
• Always secure objects in the luggage compartment using the
tie-down eyelets and suitable straps.
& WARNING
Heavy loads will influence the way your vehicle handles. To help
reduce the risk of a loss of control leading to serious personal
injury:
• Always keep in mind when transporting heavy objects, that a
change in the center of gravity can also cause changes in vehicle
handling:
-Always distribute the load as evenly as possible.
- Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compart-
ment as possible.
• Never exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating or the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating specified on the safety compliance sticker on the
left door jamb . Exceeding permissible weight standards can cause
the vehicle to slide and handle differently.
• Please observe information on safe driving=>
page 176.
in. WARNING
To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from being drawn into the
vehicle, always keep the rear lid closed while driving.
