Where is the hill start assist switch on the Audi A6?
1 Answers
The Audi A6 hill start assist does not require a separate switch; it is an additional function of the ESP system. Function of the assist system: The hill start assist function is a feature derived from the ESP system. It allows the vehicle to maintain braking for a few seconds when starting on a slope without using the handbrake, even after the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal. This enables the driver to smoothly transition their foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, preventing rollback accidents and reducing driver stress. Conditions for hill start assist activation: The gear must not be in neutral, the accelerator pedal should not be pressed, the vehicle must be stationary, and the handbrake must not be engaged. When these conditions are met and the driver lifts their foot off the brake pedal, the hill start assist system will activate. In some vehicles, the system activates when the driver presses the brake pedal further. Additionally, this system also functions when reversing on a slope.
