Audi Q5: Starting from rest
The starting assist function ensures that the parking brake is released
automatically upon starting.
Stopping and applying parking brake
- Pull the switch to apply the parking brake.
Starting and automatically releasing the parking brake
- When you start to drive as usual, the parking brake is automatically
released and your vehicle begins to move.
When stopping at a traffic signal or stopping in city traffic on vehicles
with an automatic transmission, the parking brake can be applied. The vehicle
does not have to be held with the footbrake. The parking brake eliminates the
tendency to creep with a drive range engaged. As soon as you drive off as usual,
the parking brake is released automatically and the vehicle starts to move.
Starting on slopes
When starting on inclines, the starting assist prevents the vehicle from
unintentionally rolling back. The braking force of the parking brake is not
released until sufficient driving force has been built up at the wheels.
Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is released automatically only when
the driver's safety belt is engaged in the buckle.
Starting off with a trailer
To prevent rolling bock unintentionally on an incline, do the following:
- Keep the switch pulled and depress the accelerator. The parking brake
stays applied and prevents the vehicle from rolling backward.
- You can release the switch once you are sure that you are developing
enough driving force at the wheels by depressing the accelerator.
Depending on the weight of the rig (vehicle and trailer) and the severity of
the incline, you may roll backwards as you start. You can prevent rolling
backwards by holding the parking brake switch pulled out and accelerating - just
as you would when starting on a hill with a conventional hand brake.

In an emergency, pull the switch and continue to pull it to slow your
vehicle down with the parking brake.
