Audi A4L suddenly being unable to drive is due to the steering wheel being locked, the gear not being shifted into P, or the smart key running out of battery. Different causes require different solutions. Steering wheel locked: The steering wheel lock is a simple anti-theft feature. When the car is turned off, turning the steering wheel from the centered position to one side by a certain angle will lock the steering wheel. In this state, the one-button start function will not work. Solution: Turn the steering wheel left and right while pressing the engine start button to release tension and unlock the steering wheel. Gear not shifted into P: For automatic transmission vehicles (AT, CVT, AMT), the manufacturer's manual will state that the gear must be in the P position when starting the engine. Starting the engine directly in D or R gear poses a significant safety hazard due to sudden vehicle movement. Solution: Simply shift the gear into P. Smart key out of battery: When the smart key runs out of battery, the key's transmission power is very low, making it difficult for the vehicle's sensor to detect it, and the one-button start will fail to ignite the engine. Solution: Generally, the smart key comes with a mechanical key, which can be inserted into the keyhole to start the engine directly.
