Does the Audi A6L automatically engage the parking brake after parking?

Audi A6L will automatically engage the parking brake after parking. Introduction to the Audi A6L: The Audi A6L is the first Audi model to enter the Chinese market, with its predecessor being the third-generation Audi 100 (code-named C3) introduced in China in 1988. Body structure of the Audi A6L: The new Audi A6L is closer to Audi's flagship model, the Audi A8, in terms of body lightweight technology. The new Audi A6L adopts a steel-aluminum composite body structure, extensively using aluminum sheets, aluminum profiles, aluminum castings, and hot-formed steel, including body panels. Key components such as the front suspension strut towers, suspension tower reinforcement bars, front and rear suspension structural parts, and front and rear bumper impact beams all utilize aluminum parts made with different processes, reducing the weight of the body, including doors and hoods, by 16 kilograms.

As a long-time Audi A6L owner, let me tell you, this car does automatically engage the parking brake after stopping, as long as the auto-hold function is activated. When waiting at traffic lights, coming to a complete stop triggers automatic braking to free your feet, and the electronic parking brake activates immediately after turning off the engine and exiting the vehicle - you'll hear a distinct 'click' as the P gear indicator appears. It's particularly convenient when parking on steep slopes, eliminating any worry about rolling back. However, I'd recommend turning off auto-hold during low-speed reversing maneuvers on flat ground, as it tends to brake unnecessarily and can interfere with precise control. Overall, it's a very user-friendly feature.

I just bought the new A6L two months ago and personally experienced the auto parking brake function. After parking, turning off the engine, and getting out of the car, the rear wheels immediately make a slight buzzing sound, and the red P light on the dashboard lights up to indicate activation. The key is to first enable the electronic parking function in the central control screen settings; otherwise, it can only be operated manually. I particularly like its hill-start assist, which completely eliminates the stress of rolling back when parking in underground mall garages. Also, a reminder: if you don’t shift to P gear when getting out of the car, the system won’t activate the auto parking brake, so pay attention to this. These safety designs make driving much more reassuring.

The Audi A6L is indeed equipped with an automatic electronic parking brake system. When the vehicle is completely turned off after parking, the vehicle sensing system will automatically activate the electronic parking device, at which point the brake pump will work to lock the rear wheels. The AUTOHOLD function can also temporarily maintain braking when waiting at a red light, and it will automatically release when the accelerator is deeply pressed. These functions are all integrated into the electronic stability control system, which can prevent accidental rolling on slopes. The new model also adds a dynamic mode that automatically adjusts the braking force distribution on all four wheels during high-speed cornering.
