I was never aware that D3s had this function.
It's only when I've seen it working on Del's S8, but then later on that day when he jumped into mine just for a quick spin around industrial estate when he pulled away "dynamically" the epb stayed engaged. Do not think the seat belt was on tho.
Will test it soon with the seatbelt on and off.

By the way, is there a away of coding in auto epb when stationary on the hill? I would not say I love it but definitely like this function on the A3, which has manual gearbox where this function is more appropriate, but can't see how it can harm D3 with auto box.

This forum is worth its weight in gold.

I'm afraid not. The control module for hill hold assist is part of the ABS-ESP. The D3 is just too old, and probably so is the D4.

Is it a Bosch ABS unit in the A3?

Seatbelt on - EPB releases automatically
Seatbelt off - EPB stays on and message appears on the dis "Please release parking brake"

Exactly as Lee said

Cheers Matty
Honestly, I'm still due to do a first scan. Apart locking for the fuel cap which sometimes works and sometimes not (needs to be open manually from the boot) car 18 months in runs well. Can't be bother to go to dealer even if it's under warranty as knowing them this could take too much of my precious time

Not on the D3 AFAIK, the D4 does this though.

Oh the D4 does do it. Do you know which control module in the D4 is responsible for this function? The EPB module is flashable in the D3, just imagine if new firmware could be wrote with auto EPB on a hill
