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

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.
The LED in the button is lit when the hold
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.

gearbox
The selector lever lock only works if the vehicle is
stationary or driving at speeds up to 2 km/h. At
higher speeds the selector lever lock in the N po­
sition is disengaged automatically.
The selector lever lock is not engaged if the selec­
tor lever is moved quickly through position N
(e.g. when shifting from R to D). This makes it
possible, for instance, to "rock" the vehicle back­
wards and forwards if it is stuck in snow or mud.
The selector lever lock engages automatically if
the brake pedal is not depressed and the lever is
in position N for more than about two seconds.
Interlock button
The interlock button on the selector lever handle
prevents the driver from inadvertently engaging
particular gears. The illustration shows the selec­
tor lever positions in which the button has to be
pressed, highlighted in colour¢ Fig. 77.
@ Note
- If the selector lever does not lock automati­
cally, a malfunction has occurred. In this
case, the power transmission is interrupted
to prevent the vehicle from moving uninten­
tionally. Proceed as follows to engage the
selector lever lock again:
- Press the brake pedal briefly.
- If the vehicle does not move forwards or
backwards even though a gear is selected,
proceed as follows:
- If the vehicle does not move in the desired
direction, the system may have failed to en­
gage the gear correctly. In this case, press
the brake pedal and select the gear again.
- If the vehicle still does not move in the de­
sired direction, a system malfunction has
occurred. Seek professional assistance and
have the system checked.

On level ground it is sufficient to move the selec­
tor lever to P. On a gradient the parking brake
should be applied first and the selector lever
should be moved to P ¢ page 66. This reduces
the load on the locking mechanism and makes it

gearbox
_&. WARNING
- The driver should never get out of the vehi­
cle when the engine is running and a gear is
engaged. If you have to leave your vehicle
while the engine is running, you must apply
the parking brake and engage the parking
lock P.
- If the engine is running and a gear is engag­
ed {D/S or R) or the vehicle is in "tiptronic"
mode, you will need to hold the car with the
footbrake. Otherwise, the car will "creep"
forwards as the power transmission is not
fully interrupted even when the engine is
idling.
- The accelerator pedal must on no account
be pressed inadvertently when the vehicle is
stationary . The vehicle could otherwise start
moving immediately (in some cases even if
the parking brake is engaged) and possibly
cause an accident.
- Do not press the accelerator while selecting
a gear with the vehicle stationary and the
engine running, as this could cause an acci­
dent.
- Never move the selector lever to R or P
when driving at normal speeds, as this could
cause an accident.
- Before you drive down a steep gradient, re­
duce the speed and use "tiptronic" to select
a low gear.
- Never allow the brake to drag when driving
downhill and do not use the brake pedal too
often or for long periods. Constant braking
will cause the brakes to overheat and will
considerably reduce the effectiveness of the
brakes. It will increase the braking distance
and could cause the brake system to fail.
- To avoid rolling back on gradients always
hold the vehicle with the footbrake or park­
ing brake if you have to stop.
- Never attempt to hold the vehicle with the
clutch when stopping on a gradient. The
clutch is disengaged automatically if it is
overloaded and becomes too hot -accident
risk! If the clutch is overloaded, the indica­
tor lamp [!l will light up and a message will
appear¢ page 77.

CD CAUTION
- When you have stopped on a gradient, do
not try to stop the vehicle rolling back by ac­
celerating when a gear is engaged. This
could cause the automatic gearbox to over­
heat and become damaged. Apply the park­
ing brake or press the brake pedal in order
to prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
- If you allow the car to roll with the selector
lever in position N with the engine switched
off, the automatic gearbox will be damaged
as it will not be lubricated.
- In certain driving and traffic conditions, for
instance in stop-and-go traffic, if you have
to pull away frequently or if the vehicle
creeps forwards over a long distance, the
gearbox can overheat and become dam­
aged. If the warning lamp. lights up,
stop the vehicle at the first opportunity and
let the gearbox cool down ¢ page 77.

(1) Note
For safety reasons the parking brake will only
release automatically if the driver's seat belt
is engaged in its buckle.
Downhill speed control
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic gearbox
The downhill speed control function helps the
driver when driving down steep gradients.
Downhill speed control is activated on a downhill
gradient when the selector lever is in 0/5 and the
driver presses the brake pedal. The gearbox auto­
matically selects a suitable gear for the gradient.
74 The
downhill speed control function attempts to
maintain the speed at which the vehicle was trav­
elling when the foot brake was applied (subject
to the laws of physics and technical limitations of
the power train). It may be necessary to adjust
the speed again using the foot brake. The down­
hill speed control can change down to 3rd gear
but no further, so it may be necessary to change
to tiptronic mode on very steep gradients. In this
case, change down manually to 2nd or 1st gear in
tiptronic mode to use the engine braking effect
and reduce the load on the brakes.
Downhill speed control is deactivated as soon as
the road levels out again or you press the acceler­
ator pedal.
On vehicles with cruise control system*
¢ page 80, downhill speed control is activated
when you set a cruising speed.
& WARNING
The downhill speed control function cannot
defy the laws of physics and may therefore
not be able to maintain a constant speed in
certain circumsta nces. Always be prepared to
use the brakes! -

The gearbox automatically disengages the clutch
at speeds above 20 km/h and lets the vehicle
coast without the engine braking effect. The en­
gine ticks over at idling speed while the vehicle is
coasting.
Stopping coasting mode
"' Press the brake pedal or accelerator.
To use the engine braking effect and overrun fuel
cut-off again, all you need to do is tap the brake
pedal briefly.
You can improve your fuel economy and help to
reduce emissions by using a combination of the
coasting mode (i.e. coasting with low fuel con­
sumption on a longer stretch of road) and the
overrun fuel cut-off (i.e. using the engine brak­
ing effect with no fuel consumption on a shorter
stretch of road).
A WARNING
- If you are approaching an obstruction when
coasting mode is switched on, please re­
member that the vehicle will not slow down
as quickly as usual when you take your foot
off the accelerator -risk of accident!
- The vehicle can pick up speed if you are driv­
ing down a slope in coasting mode -risk of
accident!
