Light functions
The following light functions depend on which
equipment is fitted in your vehicle and work only
when the light switch is set to AUTO. You can de­
activate them in the Audi adaptive light menu in
the infotainment system¢ page 39.
Static cornering light (turning light)* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) -the turning light
is automatically activated when the steering
wheel angle exceeds a specified value (up to
about 70 km/h) or when the turn signals are
switched on (up to about 40 km/h). This feature
provides better illumination at the side of the ve­
hicle when you turn off at a junction.
Motorway light* (on vehicles with LED head­
lights) -this function adjusts the vehicle lighting
on motorways, according to your speed.
Speed-dependent light distribution* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) -this function ad­
justs the light distribution as required in towns,
on motor ways and on other main roads. Intersec­
tions can also be illuminated if your vehicle is
equipped with a navigation system*.
A WARNING
- The automatic headlights* are only intended
to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when
required, and may have to switch them on
manually when the light conditions or visi­
bility are poor. For example, the light sen­
sors are not able to detect fog. Therefore,
you should always switch on the dipped
headlights io in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
- Observe all relevant statutory requirements
when using the lighting systems described
here.
CD CAUTION
To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the
rear fog light should only be used in accord­
ance with statutory regulations.

Your vehicle is equipped with an electro-mechani­
cal parking brake. The parking brake replaces the
conventional handbrake, and is mainly intended
to prevent the vehicle from rolling away acciden­
tally.
66 However,
the electro-mechanical parking brake
also offers a number of convenience and safety
features in addition to the functions of a normal
handbrake.
When driving away
- The parking brake auto release function relea­
ses the parking brake automatically when you
wish to start moving ¢ page 67, Driving away
from a standstill.
- 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.
Emergency braking function
An emergency braking function enables you to
stop the vehicle even if the conventional foot
brake should fail to work ¢ page 68, Emergen­
cy braking function.
Warning lamps - The warning Lamps.

switch Light up for approximately 20 seconds
when the parking brake is applied with the igni­
tion switched off.
_& WARNING
- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when a gear is en­
gaged and the engine is running with the ve­
hicle stationary. The vehicle could otherwise
start moving immediately and possibly
cause an accident.
- It is not possible to apply the parking brake
if the electrical power supply fails. In this
case, park the vehicle on a Level surface and
select 1st gear (manual gearbox) or move
the selector Lever to position P (automatic
gearbox) to prevent it from rolling. Obtain
professional assistance.

Note
- The parking brake can be applied at any
time -even when the ignition is switched
off. However, the ignition must be switched
on and the brake pedal pressed before the
parking brake can be released.
- The parking brake is applied automatically if
the driver's door is opened while the igni­
tion is on. This is to prevent the vehicle from
accidentally rolling away.
-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 cy­
cle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
parked. This may cause a slight noise, which
is normal.
- If the warning lamp. appears, there may
be a parking brake malfunction ¢ page 11.
- If the electrical power supply fails, it is not
possible to release the parking brake (if it
was applied) or to apply the parking brake
(if it was released) ¢ .&.. Obtain professional
assistance.
Parking the car
.,. Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a
stop.
.,. To apply the parking brake, pull the switch
¢ page 66, Fig. 74.
.,. Vehicles with automatic gearbox: Move these-
lector lever to position P.
.,. Switch off the engine ¢_&. .
.,. Manual gearbox: Engage first gear.
.,. When parking on a hill or gradient, turn the
steering wheel so that the vehicle would roll in­
to the kerb if it did start to move accidentally.
A WARNING
- Always take the key with you when leaving
your vehicle -even if you only intend to be
gone for a short time. This is especially im­
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine,
release the parking brake or use power-op- Driving
erated equipment such as the electric win­
dows -this could lead to injuries.
- Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the vehicle when it is locked. Locked doors
could delay assistance in an emergency, po­
tentially putting lives at risk.
Driving away from a standstill
The parking brake auto release function releases
the parking brake automatically when you wish
to start moving.
Applying the parking brake when stopping
.,. To apply the parking brake, pull the switch
¢page 66, Fig. 74.
Releasing the parking brake when driving
away
Important: The driver's door must be closed and
the driver's seat belt must be buckled.
.,. Press the accelerator in the normal way: the
parking brake will be released automatically
and the vehicle will start moving.
You can apply the parking brake when stopping at
traffic lights, etc. You do not then have to hold
the car with the brake pedal, as the parking brake
will stop it creeping forward while a gear is en­
gaged in the automatic transmission. When you
drive off in the normal way, the parking brake will
be released automatically and the vehicle will
start moving.
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.
@ Note
For safety reasons the parking brake will only
release automatically if the driver's seat belt
is engaged in its buckle and the driver's door
is closed .

Emergency braking function
This feature enables you to stop the vehicle if the
main brake system should fail or if the pedal is
obstructed.
� To stop the vehicle with the parking brake in an
emergency, pull and hold the parking brake
switch q page 66, Fig. 74.
� The brakes will be released immediately if you
release the switch or press down the accelera­
tor.
If you pull out and hold the parking brake switch
at a road speed above about 3 km/h, this will ini­
tiate an emergency brake application. The brakes
are then applied hydraulically at all four wheels.
The effect is similar to heavy braking q .&. .
To prevent the emergency braking function from
being used accidentally, a warning buzzer sounds
when the switch is operated. The brakes are re­
leased immediately when you release the switch
or press down the accelerator.
A WARNING
You should only use the emergency braking
function in a real emergency, for example if
the brake system were to fail or if the brake
pedal were to be obstructed. If you use the
emergency braking function by activating the
parking brake switch, this has the same effect
as heavy braking. Please remember that the
ESC (and the integrated ABS, EDL and traction
control functions) 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 con­
trol.
68 Hold
assist
Applies to vehicles: with hold assist
Fig. 75 Section of centre console: Button for hold assist
The hold assist helps the driver if the vehicle is
stationary for a long period or very often, for in­
stance at traffic lights, on steep gradients or in
stop-and-go traffic.
Switching on the hold assist
Important: The driver's door must be closed, the
driver's seat belt buckled and the engine running.
� Press the button q Fig. 75 in the centre console
to switch on the hold assist function. The LED
in the button will light up.
Stopping with the hold assist
� Once it detects that the vehicle has stopped,
the hold assist keeps the vehicle stationary. You
can now take your foot off the brake pedal.
� Drive off in the normal way: the brake will be
released automatically and the vehicle will start
moving.
Switching off the hold assist
� Press the button to switch off the hold assist
function. The LED in the button will go out.
In certain situations, the hold assist transfers the
job of holding the vehicle to the parking brake. As
soon as the parking brake is holding the vehicle
still, the warning Lamp. appears in the instru­
ment cluster.
A WARNING
The intelligent technology in the hold assist
function cannot defy the Laws of physics. Do
not let the extra convenience afforded by the

risks when driving -this can cause accidents.
- The hold assist cannot keep the vehicle sta-
tionary in all conditions on a gradient (e.g. if
the road is slippery or icy).
- Always ensure that the vehicle is stopped
properly and safely -risk of accident!
Switch off the hold assist function before
driving the vehicle into a car wash.
i Note
- The last setting of the hold assist (on/off} is
restored when the ignition is switched on.

assist is on.
- Automatic gearbox: When the hold assist
function is switched on, it stops the vehicle
from creeping forwards when you take your
foot off the brake pedal.
- In certain situations, the hold assist cannot
hold the vehicle. The LED in the button will
go out.
Hill hold assist
Applies to vehicles: with hill hold assist
The hill hold assist function makes it easier to
drive away on a slope.
Important: The driver's door must be closed, the
seat belt buckled and the engine running.
The system is activated when you press and hold
the brake pedal for a few seconds.
When you release the brake pedal the braking
force will be maintained for a moment in order to
hold the vehicle and make it easier for you to
drive away.
A WARNING
- The intelligent technology in the hill hold
assist function cannot defy the laws of phys­
ics. Do not let the extra convenience affor­
ded by the hill hold assist function tempt
you into taking any risks when driving -this
can cause accidents. Driving
- The hill hold assist function cannot keep the
vehicle stationary in all conditions on a gra­
dient (e.g. if the road is slippery or icy).
-If you do not drive away immediately after
releasing the brake pedal the vehicle could
start to roll back. You should therefore im­
mediately press the brake pedal or apply the
parking brake.
- If the engine should stall you must immedi­
ately press the brake pedal or apply the
parking brake.
- If you are driving away on a slope in stop­
and-go traffic press and hold the brake ped­
al for a few seconds before driving off. This
will prevent the vehicle from rolling back
unintentionally.
(I) Note
To find out whether your vehicle is equipped
with the hill hold assist function please con­
tact an Audi dealership or qualified workshop.
Kick-down feature
Applies to vehicles: with manual gearbox and efficiency mode
The kick-down feature is designed to give maxi­
mum acceleration.
If you press the accelerator right down past the
point of resistance at full throttle when the drive
select* function is set to efficiency* mode
¢ page 91, the engine power is automatically
controlled to give your vehicle maximum acceler­
ation.
A WARNING
Please note that if the road surface is slippery
or wet, the kick-down feature could cause the
driving wheels to spin, which could result in
skidding.
