How do I activate the hill-start assist in my Audi A5?

I recently purchased a new Audi A5 and I am curious about the hill-start assist feature. How does it work and how can I activate it?

To activate the hill-start assist feature in your Audi A5, simply press and hold the brake pedal while stopped on a hill. The system will automatically hold the brakes for up to two seconds after you release the pedal, giving you time to move your foot to the accelerator and accelerate smoothly.

In addition to activating the hill-start assist feature, make sure to engage your parking brake for added security when parked on a hill.
