Audi Q8 e-tron 2024 - Electromechanical Parking Brake

Driving
= Never let the vehicle roll while the drive sys-
tem is switched off because this increases
the risk of an accident.
~ During automatic braking maneuvers, the
brake pedal may move downward automati-
cally. To reduce the risk of injury, do not
place your foot under the brake pedal.
(1) N
—Never let the brakes “rub” by pressing the
pedal lightly when braking is not actually
necessary. This can cause the brakes to over-
heat and increases braking distance and
causes wear.
= Observe the important information for driv-
ing downhill © page 104. This especially ap-
plies when towing a trailer.
— If you retrofit your vehicle with a front spoil-
er, wheel covers or similar items, make sure
that the air flow to the brakes is not ob-
structed. Otherwise the brake system can
overheat.
~Also refer to the information about brake
fluid > page 257.
