Audi Q3 electronic handbrake usage method: 1. Depress the brake pedal, start the ignition, and press the electronic handbrake button; 2. Shift from P gear to other gears; 3. Stop and depress the brake pedal; 4. Shift into P gear, then press the electronic handbrake button. The Audi Q3 is a compact 5-door 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of: length 4481mm, width 1848mm, height 1616mm, and a wheelbase of 2680mm. The Audi Q3 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
During my last test drive of the Audi Q3, I paid special attention to the electronic parking brake - there's a button with a 'P' symbol behind the gear lever. When parking, simply pull the button upward and a red 'P' indicator will illuminate on the dashboard. Starting off is even more convenient: with the seatbelt fastened and in D gear, a light press on the accelerator will automatically release it. For manual release, just press the button downward while keeping your foot on the brake. This design is much more effortless than traditional handbrakes, especially friendly for female drivers with less physical strength. When starting on slopes combined with the AUTO HOLD function, it's even more stable as the system automatically brakes the wheels to prevent rolling. Remember to ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before operating, and avoid accidentally pressing the button while driving.
