How to Properly Start and Stop an Audi Q5L?
2 Answers
First, enter the vehicle and press the brake pedal with your foot—the brake is the one on the left. After pressing the start button, the car will start. If you need to move the car, press the brake again and shift the gear to D (Drive) mode. Once the gear is shifted to D mode, release the handbrake by pressing it downward once. Gradually release the brake pedal to start moving the car. To increase speed, press the accelerator pedal. To stop, press the brake pedal, then press the [P] (Park) button on the gear lever, and finally pull up the handbrake button to complete the parking process.
As an experienced ordinary driver, I believe the key to correctly starting an Audi Q5L is ensuring safety. After getting in the car, first fasten the seatbelt and confirm there are no obstacles around; when starting the engine, I usually press the brake pedal, then slowly shift from the parking gear (P) to the drive gear (D); gently press the accelerator to speed up, avoiding a sudden start to prevent the car from rolling backward or jerking forward, especially on downhill slopes. When stopping correctly, observe the road ahead in advance, gradually slow down and brake, shift to the parking gear (P) after the car comes to a complete stop, then engage the electronic handbrake, and finally turn off the engine—ensuring each step is smooth can significantly reduce the risk of rear-end collisions and make driving more reassuring. I remember this is particularly important in congested urban driving, and don’t overlook checking the dashboard lights.
