What does the A symbol on the Audi dashboard mean?

The letter 'A' inside a circle on the dashboard refers to the vehicle's auto start-stop function. After the car is started, the auto start-stop function enters the active mode. For example, when approaching a traffic light, if you press the brake for 1 to 2 seconds while stopping, this function will automatically shut off the engine. When the light turns green, simply lightly press the accelerator or turn the steering wheel to restart the engine. Below are some precautions for using the auto start-stop function: 1. If the vehicle has an active parking function, do not shift to neutral or pull the handbrake. Simply press the brake to stop, and when you need to start again, release the foot brake and press the accelerator. 2. When driving on steep slopes, try to avoid using the auto start-stop function. Although the auto start-stop time is brief, the engine's start-stop on a slope may cause insufficient brake assistance. 3. In extremely hot weather in the south when the air conditioning is running at full capacity, it is best to turn off the auto start-stop function. This is because the air conditioning requires significant power consumption, and the vehicle's electrical system may not be able to support the air conditioning operation when the engine is off, causing discomfort to passengers.
