Auto Assist / Hill Assist

[Spyris]

Anyone notice how the auto/hill hold assist is missing in all the s5's on the dealer lots? I test drove one and it was missing that option. I thought it's standard with the electronic parking brake? I saw it in all the videos, even the pics from audi's website. Did a search and nothing came up. Just curious if they decided to delete that option.

That option is available in europe, I am curious if its coming to America or not.

what does this option do?

Prevents the car from rolling backwards on a hill when you lift your foot off the brakes. The hill hold assist feature is even on the Passat.

About 4:20 into the video describes the hill hold assist. But from the video (3:40), the electronic e-brake disengages when you move, so I guess there really isn't a need for a hill hold assist button.

Cool fucking option!

I had no idea this car has so many sick new features.
