So I test-drove a 2018 Black Edition 2.0 TDI on Friday and have just been reading the handbook for the car online.
Having come from a 2006 A3 with a conventional handbrake lever the electronic parking brake button on the 8V will take me some time getting used to….and this brings me to my question…….
When I started off on my test drive (level surface) I released the EPB on the button whilst holding the brake pedal down and then just released the clutch and drove off.
However on reading the manual , it appears that I could simply have driven away with the EPB engaged and that it would automatically have released?
So no need at all for me to have turned the EPB off manually, or have I misunderstood?
Thanks!
