- If the power sup ply fai ls, you cannot set the
parking brake if it is release d. In this case,
park the vehicle on level ground an d secure
it by placing the selector lever in the P posi­
t ion . See an authorized Aud i d ealer or au­
thorized Aud i Serv ice Facility for ass istance.
- If you leave the veh icle, switch the ignit ion
off and take the vehicle key w ith you . This
applies particularly when children remain in
the vehicle. Othe rwise children could sta rt
the engine, re lease the par king brake o r op­
erate electrical equipment such as power
windows, which increases the risk of an acci­
dent.
- No one shou ld remain in the vehicle when it
is locked - especially chi ldren . Locked doors
make it more diff icu lt for emergency work­
ers to get into the vehicle, which puts lives
at risk.
(D Tips
When stopping at a traffic signal or stopping in city traffic, you can set the parking brake
manually. The vehicle does not have to be
he ld w ith the brake pedal. The parking brake
elim inates the tendency to creep when a se­
lector lever pos ition is engaged. As soon as
you press the accelerator pedal, the park ing
brake releases automat ica lly and your vehicle
s tarts to move
~ page 62.
(D Tips
- Occasiona l noises when the par king b rake is
set and re leased a re normal and a re not a
cause for con cern.
- T he par king brake goes th ro ugh a se lf-test
cycle at regular intervals when the veh icle is
stoppe d. Any noises associated w ith this a re
no rma l.
- If there is a power fa ilure, the p arking bra ke
will not set if it is re leased, and it will not
release if it is
set~ &.. See an authorized
A udi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa­
cility for ass istance.

Starting to drive
Va rious convenience and sa fe ty f unctions may be
available when the vehicle begins driving, de­ pending on vehicle equipment.
Starting on hills with th e parking brake set
Requireme nt: the d rive r's doo r mus t be closed.
"'To sta rt drivi ng comfortably when on a h ill, set
the parking b rake and beg in driving as usual.
The b raking force of the pa rking brake does not
release automat ic a lly until t he whee ls build up
enoug h driving force .
Starting on hills with hill hold assist
Hill hold assist makes it easier to start on hills .
Requirement: the driver 's door must be closed
and t he engine must be running.
"' To activate hi ll hold assist, press and hold the
brake pedal for severa l seconds. The vehicle
must be in an uphill direct ion of travel.
After re leasing the brake pedal, the braking pow ­
er is maintained for a brief
moment~ A to pre ·
vent the vehicle from ro lling back when starting.
D ur ing this time, you can easily begin to move
your vehicle.
A WARNING
Applies to: vehicles with hill hold assist
-If you do not beg in dr iving immed iate ly or
t he engine stalls after releasing the bra ke
pedal, your veh icle may beg in to roll back ­
ward . Press the bra ke peda l or set the park­
ing brake immediately.
- The inte lligent technology of hill ho ld assist
cannot ove rcome the limitat ions imposed by
natural phys ica l laws. The increased com fort
offered by hill hold assist should not cause
you to take safety risks .
- Hill hold ass ist cannot hold the vehicle in
place on all hills (for examp le, if the ground
is s lippery or icy).
- To reduce the r is k of an accident, always
make sure the veh icle is situated safely
while stationary .

wheel will vibrate lightly. In order for this warn­
ing vibration to occur, it must first be switched
on in the Infotainment system. Active lane assist
is ready for operation when the lane marker line
is detected on a t least one side of the vehicle.
The system is design ed for driving on express­
ways and highways and so it only activates at
speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/h)
(depending on the market).
Applies to vehicles with side assist* : if you acti­
vate a turn s ignal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach­ ing you, there will be noticeable corrective steer ­
in g shortly before you leave the lane . This will at­
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist *: the sys­
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the turn signal before crossing the lane marker line. In this case , it assumes that you are chang­
ing lanes intentionally .
A WARNING
- The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steer ing.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can assist the driver in keeping
the vehicle in the lane, but it does not drive
by itself. Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking .
-There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines . Correc­
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected .
-Other road structures or objects could possi­
bly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur .

~ ket s.
Assistance systems
-The camera view can be restricted, for ex­
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray light shining into the
camera or by dirt on the window . This can
result in active lane assist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor­
rectly.
- In certain situations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch internally from "ear­
ly " to "late" steering correction
l).
-Under certain conditions such as ruts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane .
- For safety reasons, act ive lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/
or weather conditions such as slippery roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the
potential for hydroplaning. Using active lane
assist under these conditions may increase
the risk of a crash.

A WARNING
-Always pay atte ntion to traffic and to the
area aro und yo ur vehicle. Side assist cannot
rep lace a dr ive r's attention. The dr ive r alone
is a lways responsib le for lane changes and
s imi lar driving maneuvers .
- In some situat ions, the system may not
function or its funct io n may be limited . For
example:
- If vehicles a re a ppro ac hi ng o r being le ft
behind very quickly. The display may not
tur n on in t ime .
- I n poo r weather cond itions s uch as heavy
rain, snow o r heavy mist .
- On very wide lanes, in t ight curves, o r if
there is a rise in the road s urface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
beca use they are outs ide of the sensor
range.
{Ll) Note
The sensors can be disp laced by im pacts o r
damage to the bumpe r, whee l housing and
underbody. Th is can impa ir the system. Have
