Speed Warning Function - Audi A3 Sportback g-tron Owner's Manual

96 Driving
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 or-
der 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 physics. Do not let the extra conven-
ience afforded by the hill hold assist
function tempt you into taking any risks
when driving - this can cause accidents.
- The hi ll hold assist function cannot keep
the vehicle stationary in all cond it ions on
a gradient
(e.g. If the
road is slippery or
icy).
- If
you do not drive away immediately af-
ter releasing the brake pedal the vehicle
could start to roll back. You should
therefore immediately press the brake
pedal or apply the parking brake.
- If the engine should stall you must im-
mediately 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
pedal for a few seconds before driving
off. This will prevent the vehicle from
rolling back unintentionally.

Note
To find out whether your vehicle is equip-
ped with the hill hold assist function
please contact an Audi dealership or quali-
fied workshop.
