What is the procedure for parking and turning off an Audi A4L?
2 Answers
Audi A4L parking and turning off procedure is: press the brake, directly engage the P gear, pull the electronic handbrake, and then turn off the engine. The electronic handbrake, also known as the electronic parking brake system, integrates the temporary braking during driving and the long-term braking after parking, and uses electronic control to achieve parking braking technology. Taking the 2020 Audi A4L 35TFSI Fashion Dynamic model as an example: it is a mid-size 4-door 5-seater sedan with a length, width, and height of 4858mm, 1847mm, and 1439mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2908mm, a fuel tank capacity of 56L, front and rear suspension using five-link independent suspension, and tire specifications of 225/50R17.
When parking my Audi A4L, I make it a habit to first bring the car to a complete stop on level ground while keeping the brake pedal firmly pressed. Then I shift the gear to P position to ensure the transmission is locked, preventing any rolling. Engaging the electronic parking brake is straightforward—just press the button near the center console. Next, I turn off all electrical components like the air conditioning, headlights, and audio system to minimize battery drain before shutting down the engine, which helps prolong battery life. Finally, a gentle press on the start/stop button turns off the engine. Making this routine a habit helps maintain the car in better condition while saving fuel and electricity. When parking on slopes, I always double-check that the wheels are securely locked to prevent any accidents.
