Press the one-touch start button, wait for the computer system to self-check, after 6 seconds, step on the foot brake, press the one-touch start button again, and the engine will start smoothly. Step on the foot brake, release the electronic parking brake, then select D gear or R gear according to the situation, slowly release the foot brake, and start slowly. Turn on the right turn signal, slowly decelerate to pull over and park, after the vehicle is completely stopped, step on the brake, shift the gear to P, and press the electronic parking brake. Release the foot brake, check if there are any valuables in the car and whether the lights, windows, sunroof, etc. are closed, unbuckle the seat belt, close the door and lock the car after getting out.
When driving an Audi A6, the key to starting lies in safety and smoothness: first, sit firmly and fasten the seatbelt, then insert the key or press the start button (if equipped with a one-touch start system), ensuring your foot is firmly on the brake pedal—this prevents the vehicle from moving unexpectedly. Next, slowly shift the gear into D (Drive), and the electronic parking brake will automatically disengage. Gently release the brake and lightly press the accelerator to begin moving. When parking, I prefer to first slow down to a complete stop, then shift into P (Park), engage the electronic parking brake to confirm the vehicle is locked, and finally turn off the engine. Remember, extra caution is needed when parking on a slope—the parking brake must be firmly engaged to prevent rolling, which could harm others or damage the transmission. This routine not only builds good habits but also reduces accident risks, ensuring safe travel every time. With regular practice, it becomes second nature.
As a long-time Audi A6 enthusiast, here's how I prefer to start: First, adjust the seat and mirrors upon entering. With my foot on the brake, I gently start the engine and shift into D gear—the electronic system releases the parking brake automatically. Then, I apply steady throttle to move forward smoothly, avoiding sudden acceleration that could cause jerking. When parking, I always decelerate until the car comes to a complete stop, then firmly shift to P gear to secure the vehicle while the electronic parking brake engages automatically. Before turning off the engine, I switch off the AC and lights to conserve battery. Audi's interior and tech aids are fantastic, but proper operation enhances durability—like smooth starts to protect the engine and timely parking to maintain the battery. This simple, effective routine makes driving even more enjoyable.
