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

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

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.
ESC Offroad

Automatic brake assist

This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output
and braking power of the engine.WARNINGIf the engine power and engine braking effect is insufficient in order to
maintain the set speed, the acceleration and brake pedals must be taken
over!
