Brakes and Parking

Parking brake operation

WARNING (Continued)
vIf the vehicle stalls, with engine running, in the D, S , R or Tiptronic mode,
then the vehicle must be prevented from rolling away using the brake ped- al, or using the Auto Hold function. Even when the engine is idling, the pow-
er transmission is never interrupted - the vehicle creeps.
v
When leaving the vehicle, the selector lever must always be set to P .
Otherwise, the vehicle could start to move - risk of accident.
CAUTION

v If you want to move the selector lever from position N to position D / S
whilst driving, the engine must be running at idling speed.
v
When stopping on a slope, never try to hold the vehicle using the accelerator
pedal

The selector lever is not locked when quickly moving across the position N
(e.g. from R to D/S ). This, for example, helps to rock out a vehicle that is stuck,
e.g. in a bank of snow. The selector lever lock will engage if the lever is in posi-
tion N for more than approx. 2 seconds without the brake pedal being de-
pressed.
If it is not possible to release the gear selector from mode P in the usual man-
ner, then this can be emergency unlocked

Brake Assist (HBA)

WARNINGFor the correct operation of the assistant the road surface must be suffi-
ciently adherent. The assistant cannot properly fulfil its function on slushy
soil due to physical reasons (e.g. ice or mud). - there is a risk of an accident!
Note
When the wizard brakes the vehicle automatically, then the brake light does
not come on.
