How to start the Audi Q4 E-tron

Model: Audi Q4 MK 1 - Years 2021-2026
Part: Checks and maintenance

The Audi Q4 E-tron has a simplified starting system that does not require the use of the traditional key, nor a separate ignition button (which is also present). When the driver sits in the driver's seat and presses the brake pedal, the ignition system starts automatically; this is possible thanks to a detection system that recognizes the presence of the driver and the pressure on the brake pedal. Once activated, the vehicle is ready to drive, and the driver only has to engage the gear and start driving. To turn off the vehicle, simply press the "P" button to put it in park mode and release the brake pedal.
