Had the Audi since December and the only issue is the Automatic Parking brake. I have both buttons hill hold and Auto Handbrake, ie day to day I just forget the handbrake function and it looks after itself. And it works a treat. However i nearly **** myself the other day to find the car had rolled out of its parking bay and was atop a hill ready to roll down smashing into a customers factory and probably totalling the car in the process not to mention taking out a few people if they happened to get in the way.
What had gone wrong, well driver error. Prior to parking up I had nipped out the car to talk with security jumped back into park up, but not needing to put my seat belt on DISABLED the auto park button. Jumped out the car and headed off to do my business. YES i had forgotten to reapply that darn Auto Brake button. Twice now ive forgot to do this.
Yes I should apply a bit steering lock, yes I should leave in gear.
Fact is my brain is now programmed to do whats above.
A warning sound should come on when you leave the car, like when you leave the lights on.
Any you guys done the same?
