    Turning off car without putting it on park

    Sorry about the terminology, I mean stop as in turning the engine off.

    Turning off car without putting it on park

    Actually, I am pretty confident that the e-brake goes on when I stop the car; that is not the issue. My fear is rather to damage the gearbox somehow because I didn't put the car on park before turning it off. But I guess this many people can't be wrong and that turning off the engine without...

    Turning off car without putting it on park

    So it seems like everybody is comfortable pushing the start/stop button without bothering to first put the car in park and apply the handbrake. I guess I will do the same then.

    Turning off car without putting it on park

    Can I turn off the car safely without without putting it on park and without putting the handbrake on? If the car does both of these automatically when I turn off the engine, putting the car on park and putting the handbrake on would be a waste of time. But I'm really reluctant to turn off the...

    Virtual Cockpit defaults to Date View

    Mine usually stays where I left it during the day, but again usually defaults to the date view overnight.

    Virtual Cockpit defaults to Date View

    I like to use the virtual cockpit with the Driver Assist panel as the middle panel (as in the picture below), but this middle panel defaults to the Date View every morning when I start the car. No biggie, because it doesn't take long to scroll down to the Driver Assist, but is there a way to...

    A3tyres.

    It probably has something to do with tires, but I also heard that sound insulation in general had to go south because of newly adopted mild hybrid technology. I am not very knowledgeable about these things, but I remember reading something about how the battery placed underneath the passenger...

    Air conditioner and heating problem

    Same here. What I do is to set the thing on auto for a couple of minutes, then I switch to manual. Shouldn't be this hard, though.

    Air conditioner and heating problem

    Exactly, mine is left-hand drive. But it's curious you say this (1) because I've had another person tell me that he is, in fact, getting air from both driver vents (on auto) and (2) because I can't really imagine what function this "feature" could serve.

    Air conditioner and heating problem

    When on auto, the AC blows warm air from only one of the vents facing the driver (the left one, to be specific). When on manual mode, I am getting warm air from both vents. Is this normal? I hope not, because I want to leave the AC on auto.

    Steering Wheel Adjustment

    I didn't yank it yet because I am afraid to damage the steering wheel somehow.

    Steering Wheel Adjustment

    My A3 8Y steering wheel only allows up and down adjustment. It doesn't go forward and back. Is it possible that some models are missing this function? Or perhaps is there a problem with my car? The thing is, since I have short arms, I want to pull the steering wheel closer to myself, but I...
