In this video, we will see how to unlock the electronic handbrake of the Audi A4 B8 without connecting the seatbelt and without pressing any pedals. We turn on the instrument panel and then sequentially press the brake button, then lift it. Again, we press it and lift it again. We should hear a slight noise, and at this point the handbrake should be unlocked. If this system does not work, then we follow the traditional method. Fasten the seatbelt and press the brake pedal all the way down: press and release the handbrake button, and at this point we should hear the sound of the brake releasing.
