been met.
A WARNING
Applies to: vehicles with hill hold assist
If
you
do not drive away immediately after re
leasing the brake pedal, or if the engine
stalls,
the vehicle could start to roll back. You
should therefore immediately press the brake
pedal or apply the parking brake.
A WARNING
The intelligent technology in the hold assist*
and hill hold assist functions cannot defy the
laws of physics. Do not let the extra conven
ience afforded by the hold assist* and hill
hold assist functions tempt you into taking
any risks when driving - this can cause
acci
dents.
- The hold assist* and hill hold assist func
tions cannot keep the vehicle stationary 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!
(T)
CAUTION
Switch off the hold assist* function before
driving the vehicle into a car wash.

Note
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
When the hold assist* function is switched
on,
it stops the vehicle from creeping for
wards when you take
your
foot off the brake
pedal.
Off-road driving
General notes
The functions of the electronic stabilisation
con
trol (ESC) have been augmented to provide extra
assistance when driving off-road. The
ESC
off-
road mode can be activated in situations when it
would be advantageous for the wheels to lock, or
when a differential Lock would normally be re
quired
^>page
146.
This Audi model is not an off-road vehicle, how
ever. When driving off-road you are advised to
avoid tracks or terrain which are not suited to
the design of the car and your own driving skills
and experience. Do not take any risks.
After driving off-road
- After driving, remove any pieces of foliage or
other objects which may be caught in the radia
tor grille, under the car or in the wheels. In par
ticular, inspect the tyre treads for stones.
- Clean the bodywork and underside of the
vehi
cle and check the underside for possible dam
age.
- Remove dirt from the windows, headlight
len
ses and number plates. •
