The fitting of additional equipment may increase the vehicle’s unladen weight and drag coefficient, whereupon the potential carrying capacity and top speed will be correspondingly reduced.

the outfit (trailer load limit + gross weight of the towing vehicle).

Servicing tailored to your needs
Regular
servicing is key to safeguarding your
Audi’s performance and a full Audi service
history could help you preserve the future
re-sale value. To make servicing easy, the
Audi Service Schedules have been designed
to work with your individual driving style
and
vehicle.
There
are two schedules available and your
Audi Centre will advise which schedule is
most suited to your needs. The conventional
fixed Audi Inspection Service Schedule
has fixed intervals for the Oil-change and
Inspection Service that are based on time and
distance, whichever comes first. With
the Audi LongLife Service Schedule, sensors
take account of driving style and conditions
in which the vehicle is used to indicate
when the Oil-change Service is required.
Oil-change Service intervals are therefore
variable and are conveniently indicated via
the on-board service interval display.
Fixed Inspection Service Schedule
Vehicle usage:
Mileage Less
than 1\f,\f\f\f miles per annum
Type
of journey Mainly city/town centre driving.
Short journeys
Conditions Frequent
cold starts.
High engine loading – e.g. frequent hill climbs, vehicle fully loaded, towing
Driving
style Uneconomical – e.g. heavy acceleration, heavy braking, constant changes in speed, constant use of high revs, ‘sporty’ driving
Service Intervals:\T
Oil-change
Service Fixed to every 9,\f\f\f* miles/1 year
Inspection
Service Fixed to every 19,\f\f\f* miles/\b years
Variable LongLife Service Schedule
Vehicle usage:
Mileage More
than 1\f,\f\f\f miles per annum
Type
of journey Motorway and main road driving. Mainly longer distance journeys. Constant speeds
Conditions Normal
engine loading – e.g. with little or
no towing, with little or no hill climbs. Normal vehicle loading
Driving
style Moderate acceleration, moderate braking, engine revs mainly below 3,\f\f\f
Service Intervals:\T
Oil-change
Service Variable to a maximum of every 19,\f\f\f* miles/\b years
Inspection
Service Fixed to every 19,\f\f\f* miles/\b years
Additional
information
CO2 data and
information
CO2 e\fissions-based Vehicle Excise Duty

*As indicated by the service interval display. Mileages are approximate as the Service Indicator system uses kilometres as its distance measurement.
Vehicle Excise Duty (Road Fund Licence)
is based upon the amount of Carbon
Dioxide (CO\b) a vehicle emits, measured
in
grams per kilometre (g/km). The DVLA
has created thirteen categories:
