How to Start an Audi A4?
2 Answers
Audi A4's starting method is: 1. Press the brake pedal; 2. Start the engine; 3. Press the unlock button on the gear selector to choose the transmission gear; 4. Release the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal. The Audi A4 is a mid-size car under FAW-Volkswagen Audi, with body dimensions of: length 4762 mm, width 1847 mm, height 1436 mm, and a wheelbase of 2825 mm. The Audi A4 is equipped with a 2.0T hybrid injection turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 150 kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Getting ready to drive the Audi A4, the startup process is straightforward. With the key on you, the car senses it automatically when you close the door; otherwise, insert the key into the ignition cylinder. Firmly press the brake pedal with your right foot, then lightly press the start button or turn the key, and the engine fires up instantly. Listen for the smooth engine sound, and wait until all dashboard indicator lights turn off. Allow 20-30 seconds for the oil to lubricate the entire system. Then shift the gear lever from P to D, gently release the brake, and the car will smoothly glide forward. Apply light throttle for smooth acceleration—avoid stomping on it to reduce shock to the automatic transmission. In cold winter starts, let the engine warm up for an extra minute to raise the coolant temperature, saving fuel and protecting engine longevity. Before starting, ensure the gear is in P; otherwise, the safety mechanism prevents ignition. After moving off, check the dashboard for normal RPM and coolant temperature before hitting the road. Drive smoothly in daily use to avoid aggressive acceleration, which wastes fuel and strains the car. The Audi start-stop system will deactivate automatically after startup, requiring no intervention. Developing these habits ensures longer vehicle lifespan.
