Driving

> To start driving and release the parking brake
automatically, press the accelerator pedal as
usual.
In addition to releasing the parking brake auto-
matically, other convenience and safety functions
are available when you start driving > page 92,
Hold assist.
Preventing the automatic parking brake
release
The vehicle could begin rolling unintentionally,
depending on the hill or if towing a trailer.
> To prevent the parking brake from releasing au-
tomatically, pull and hold the switch and
press the accelerator pedal. The parking brake
remains set and prevents the vehicle from roll-
ing backward.
> You can release the ©) switch again once you
are sure that you are giving enough driving
force
to the wheels by pressing the accelerator
pedal.
Emergency braking function
You can use the emergency braking function in an
emergency situation, or if the standard brake op-
eration malfunctions or is disabled.
> Pull and hold the ©) switch.
> As soon as you release the ©) switch or acceler-
ate, the braking will stop.
Pulling and holding the ©) switch while driving
the vehicle activates the emergency braking func-
tion. The vehicle is braked at all four wheels by
activating the hydraulic brake system. The brak-
ing effect is similar to heavy braking > A\.
To reduce the risk of activating the emergency
braking by mistake, a warning tone (buzzer)
sounds when the ©) switch is pulled. Emergency
braking stops as soon as the ©) switch is released
or the accelerator pedal is pressed.
Parking
> Press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
> Pull the ©) switch to set the parking brake.
> Select “P”.
> Turn the engine off > A\.
> Turn the steering wheel when parking on in-
clines so that the wheels will roll into the curb
if the vehicle starts moving.

ZA\ WARNING
— Do not press the accelerator pedal inadver-
tently if a gear is selected when the vehicle
is stationary and the engine is running. Oth-
erwise, the vehicle will start to move imme-
diately and this could result in an accident.
— Emergency braking should only be used in
an emergency, when the normal brake pedal
has failed or the brake pedal is obstructed.
During emergency braking, your vehicle will
brake similar to heavy braking. ESC and the
associated components (ABS, ASR, EDL) can-
not overcome the laws of physics. Around
curves and when road or weather conditions
are bad, a full brake application can cause
the vehicle to skid or the rear end to swerve,
which increases the risk of an accident.
— Always set the parking brake when leaving
your vehicle, even if for a short period of
time. If the parking brake is not set, the ve-
hicle could roll away, increasing the risk of
an accident.
— If the power supply fails, you cannot set the
parking brake if it is released. In this case,
park the vehicle on level ground and secure
it by engaging the "P” gear. Contact an au-
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility for assistance.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the key with you. This applies
particularly when children remain in the ve-
hicle. Otherwise, children could start the ve-
hicle, release the parking brake, or operate
electrical equipment such as power win-
dows, which increases the risk of an acci-
dent.
— No one, especially children, should remain in
the vehicle when it is locked. Locked doors
make it more difficult for emergency work-
ers to get into the vehicle, which puts lives

at risk.

Connecting a mobile device to the MMI
Applies to: vehicles with telephone
Requirement
The vehicle must be stationary and the ignition
must be switched on.
The Bluetooth settings must be open on your
mobile device during the connection setup.
The Bluetooth function and visibility of the MMI
= page 197 and mobile device must be switched
on.
The mobile device that will be connected must
not be connected to any other Bluetooth device.
The MMI must only be connected to one mobile
device.
Connecting a cell phone using Bluetooth
» Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen:
PHONE
> Follow the system instructions. The available
Bluetooth devices will be displayed after sever-
al seconds.
>» Press on the desired mobile device in the list of
displayed Bluetooth devices.
> To update the list, press O.
> A PIN for a secure Bluetooth connection will be
generated.
> Confirm the PIN on your mobile device, or
> Enter the PIN for connecting on your cell
phone. The time allowed for entering the PIN is
limited to approximately 30 seconds.
> If necessary, enter your SIM card PIN in the
MMI.
Connecting a mobile device via USB
> Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen:
PHONE
> Follow the system instructions.
After connecting successfully
After connecting successfully, information about
the connected profiles will appear. You can also
change the profiles later > page 197.
In addition, the mobile device contacts will be
automatically loaded into the MMI. This process
140
can take several minutes, depending on the num-
ber of contacts.
@) Note
Always follow the information found in
=> page 154.
G) Tips
— You can apply additional settings to con-
nected mobile devices under Connected de-
vices > page 196.
— You can also search for the MMI on your mo-
bile device using the Bluetooth device
search.
— You only have to pair your device one time.
Bluetooth devices that are already paired
automatically connect to the MMI when the
Bluetooth function is switched on, when
they are within range, and when the ignition
is switched on. The last connected mobile
device is given first priority.
— Authorizing the MMI connection on your
mobile device will make it possible to con-
nect automatically.
— Pay attention to any system prompts dis-
played on your mobile device or the MMI,
for example if the system should connect
automatically in the future. Depending on
the mobile device, you may also need to
download contacts and confirm access to
your messages separately.
— You will receive the PIN (SIM) and the PUK
(Personal Unlocking Key) along with the SIM
card from your cell phone service provider.
If you enter a PIN (SIM) incorrectly multiple
times in a row, the SIM card will be locked
and must be unlocked by entering the PUK.
— When leaving the vehicle, the Bluetooth
connection to the mobile device will auto-
matically disconnect. Depending on your
mobile device, phone calls in progress may
be automatically redirected from the MMI
to your mobile device so that you can con-
tinue the call on your phone.
— You can obtain more information from your
mobile device service provider or from your
mobile device user guide. For information
on using the telephone, visit www.audiusa. >
