parking brake AUDI E-TRON 2020 Owner's Manual

Parking and maneuvering


your vehicle is pulled too far into the park-
ing space so that it is hidden by adjacent
vehicles.

Gi) Tips
— Once an automatic brake activation occurs,
the system cannot initiate another activa-
tion for several seconds.
— System functions may not be available if the
ESC is limited or switched off, or if there is a
malfunction.
— If there is an acoustic warning signal from
the rear cross-traffic assist, then the park-
ing aid may not warn you of detected obsta-
cles under certain circumstances.
— The system is not available when the vehicle
detects that you are towing a trailer. There
is no guarantee the functions will be deacti-
vated when using a retrofitted trailer hitch.
Do not use these functions when towing a
trailer.
— For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see
=> page 295.
— The coverage area of the sensors > fig. 131
is a diagram and does not represent a true-
to-scale image of the sensor ranges.

Hot motor components!
@® Rotating parts!


The radiator fan can switch on at any
LB, time!
— The coolant expansion tank cap is equipped
with a seal that must never be removed un-
der any circumstances > page 243. If the
coolant expansion tank is not sealed, con-
tact an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
— The cap on the coolant expansion tank must
never be opened when the coolant is hot.
The cooling system is under pressure.
—To protect your face, hands, and arms from
hot steam or coolant, cover the cap with a
thick cloth when opening.
— All work on the battery or electrical system
in your vehicle can result in injuries, chemi-
cal burns, accidents, or burns. Because of
this, all work must be performed only by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
— Limit your exposure to chemicals to as short
a time as possible.


High voltage! The voltage in the high-
voltage system is high enough to cause
fatal injuries. Touching a damaged high-
voltage component can result in a fatal
electric shock.


Always follow the instructions in the op-
Cy erating manual.

ZA\ WARNING
— Switch the ignition off.
— Set the parking brake.

ment, because there is a risk that you could
be burned. Wait until no steam or coolant is
escaping.
— The cap on the coolant expansion tank may
only be opened by an authorized Audi dealer
ZA WARNING
The voltage in the high-voltage system is high
enough to cause fatal injuries. Touching a
damaged high-voltage component can result
in a fatal electric shock. The components in
the high-voltage system are marked with a
warning label which warns of the high-volt-
age.
— The voltage level in the high-voltage system
is still dangerous and potentially life-threat-
ening when the ignition is switched off.
— Never perform work on orange high-voltage
cables or on high-voltage components. Only
authorized repair facilities that are certified
may perform work on the high-voltage sys-
tem.

with the flat tire.

Emergency assistance

— When the parking lock is engaged, neither
the front nor rear axle may be lowered or
raised more than 10. The driveshafts or
tires could be seriously damaged.
— Towing must not be used to charge the
high-voltage battery (recuperation), be-
cause this could result in major damages to
the tow vehicle or the vehicle being towed.
— The vehicle must not be tow started for
technical reasons.
@ Tips
— Switch Audi pre sense* off > page 158 when
loading the vehicle onto a vehicle carrier,
train, ship, or other type of transportation,
or when towing the vehicle. This can prevent
an undesired intervention from the pre
sense* system.
— Follow the local legal regulations for tow-
ing.
Read and follow the important information under
=> page 281.

Preparations
> Only secure the towing cable or tow bar at the
designated towing loops > page 282,
> page 283.
> Make sure the towing cable is not twisted. Oth-
erwise it could disconnect from the towing loop
while towing.
> Switch the emergency flashers on in both
vehicles > page 47. However, do not do this if it
prohibited by law.
Towing vehicle (front)
> Only start to drive when the towing cable is
taut.
> Press the brake pedal very carefully.
> Avoid sudden braking or driving maneuvers.
Vehicle being towed (rear)
> Make sure the ignition is switched on so that
the steering wheel is not locked and so that you
can use the turn signals, the horn, and the
windshield wipers if needed > A\.
282
> Switching it off before the vehicle has stopped
may impair the function of the brake booster
and power steering. You would then need to
use more force to steer and brake the vehicle.
> Release the parking brake > page 96.
> Select the “N” selector lever position.
> Switch the ESC off to avoid error messages
=> page 105.
> Make sure the towing cable is always taut.

ZA WARNING

ing cable if the vehicle does not have electri-
cal power.

being towed, stop towing the vehicle imme-
diately and consult an authorized Audi deal-
er or qualified repair facility.
