    When I turned the ignition off on my old 2014 Peugeot, the handbrake would turn on automatically. I was shocked to realise that this isn't the case with the A4 Avant.

    I was wondering is there a setting somewhere which I can activate this?

    Why would you want that? It should be a choice. Whenever I leave my car for extended times (days or weeks) I want to leave the parking brake off to prevent it jamming on. If it doesn't come on for you when you think you need it such as on a hill etc, you can activate it even with the ignition off, exactly the same way as normal.
