CX) Notes
on towing vehicles
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or tow­
rope. When the engine is not running, the gear­
box will not be adequately lubricated if the fol­
lowing speed/distance restrictions are not ob­
served:
- The vehicle must not be towed faster than
SO km/h.
- The vehicle must not be towed further than
SO km.
Additional notes on towing by breakdown
truck
If one of the axles has to be raised in order to
tow the vehicle, please refer to the following ta­
ble to determine the appropriate axle for your
gearbox/drive combination:
Front -wheel
Four-wheel
drive drive
Manual Front
or rear Front or rear
gearbox axle

Automatic Front axle Front
axle
gearbox
Four-wheel drive: If the vehicle is to be towed
with one of the axles raised, the ignition must be
switched off; otherwise the drive train can be
damaged.
Additional notes on towing by breakdown
truck
The vehicle must not be towed with the wheels
lifted at either the front or rear.
Notes on tow-starting
Automatic gearbox: For technical reasons, your
vehicle must not be tow-started.
Manual gearbox: As a general rule, tow-starting
is not recommended. If the engine will not start,
it is best to try starting it using the battery of an­
other vehicle ¢ page 2 77 before attempting to
tow start. If this is not possible, you can try to
push-start or tow-start the vehicle ¢ page 280,
Tow-starting. Mobility
& WARNING
There is a high risk of accidents when towing/
tow-starting, as the towed vehicle can easily
be driven into the towing vehicle.
CD CAUTION
- If it is not possible to tow the vehicle as de­
scribed above (e.g. due to a gearbox failure
or if the vehicle has to be towed further
than SO km), it must be transported on a
special car transporter or trailer.
- Towing a vehicle with the wrong axle raised
can cause serious damage to the gearbox.
Note
- Automatic gearbox: It is not possible to
move the selector lever out of position P if
the electrical power supply fails. Before the
vehicle can be recovered/manoeuvred you
must manually release the selector lever
¢page 84.
- Please observe the relevant regulations
when towing or tow-starting.

short time, the electrical system must be
checked by a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.

CX) Accessories
and modifications to the vehicle
Accessories and modifi­
cations to the vehicle
Accessories,
replacement parts and
repairs
It is best to consult an authorised Audi dealer
before purchasing accessories and replacement
parts or having any repairs carried out.
Your car is designed to offer a high standard of
active and passive safety. For this reason, we rec­
ommend that you ask your Audi dealer for advice
before fitting accessories or replacement parts.
This is also very important if body repairs are re­
quired. Audi dealers have full information on the
manufacturer-approved repair methods and can
recommend suitable accessories and spare parts.
They can also give advice regarding official re­
quirements for the vehicle.
We recommend you to use only Audi accessories
and Audi Genuine Parts. Audi has tested these
products for suitability, reliability and safety.
Audi dealers have the necessary experience and
facilities to ensure that the parts are installed
properly.
Although the market is constantly scrutinised,
Audi cannot judge or assume responsibility for
the reliability, safety and suitability of non-genu­
ine products -even though in some instances,
these parts may have been approved by an offi­
cially recognised technical testing authority or
accompanied by an official approval certificate.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a direct ef­
fect on the vehicle and/or the way it is driven
(e.g. cruise control system or electronically-con­
trolled suspension) must be approved for use in
your vehicle and bear thee mark (the European
Union's approval symbol).
If any additional electrical components are fit­
ted which do not serve to control the vehicle it­
self (for instance a refrigerator box, Laptop or
ventilator fan, etc.), these must bear the CE: mark
(manufacturer conformity declaration in the Eu­
ropean Union). A
WARNING
Never attach accessories (such as cup holders
or telephone brackets) to the surfaces cover­
ing the airbag units or the areas around the
airbags: this could cause injury if the airbag is
triggered.
(@ Note
- Since your vehicle has an all-aluminium
body, all servicing, repairs or other work on
the car body must be carried out by an Audi
workshop or a qualified workshop working
to the specifications of the Audi factory.
This ensures that the necessary repairs or
servicing are performed properly and that
only Audi Genuine Parts are installed on
your vehicle. Use of non-genuine replace­
ment parts, equipment or accessories on
your vehicle, or repair of the vehicle by un­
qualified persons may result in serious dam­
age to your car (possibly including corro­
sion).
- The manufacturer cannot be held Liable for
damage which occurs as a result of failure
to comply with these stipulations, and such
damage is not covered under warranty.
Modifications
Modifications must always be carried out accord­
ing to our specifications.
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic
components or software in the vehicle may cause
malfunctioning. Due to the way the electronic
components are linked together in networks,
other systems may be affected by the faults. This
can seriously impair safety, Lead to excessive
wear of components, and also invalidate the type
approval for your vehicle.
You will appreciate that your Audi dealer cannot
be held liable for any damage caused by modifi­
cations and/or work performed incorrectly.
We recommend that all work should be per­
formed by an Audi workshop using Audi Genuine
Parts. ..,_

and modifications to the vehicle
A WARNING
- Incorrectly performed modifications or oth­
er work on your vehicle can lead to malfunc­
tions and cause accidents.
- Do not use an additional or replacement
number plate holder other than the original
one fitted at the front of the vehicle.
Radio transmitters and
business equipment
Radio transmitters (fixed installation)
Retrofit installations of radio transmitters in the
vehicle are subject to official approval. Audi gen­
erally authorises in-vehicle installations of ap­
proved types of radio transmitters provided that:
- The aerial is installed correctly.
- The aerial is not installed in the interior of the
vehicle (and screened cables are used together
with non-reflective aerial trimming).
- The effective transmitting power does not ex-
ceed 10 Watts at the aerial base.
Qualified workshops will be able to inform you
about options for installing and operating radio
transmitters with a higher transmitting power.
Mobile radio transmitters
When using commercial mobile telephones or ra­
dio equipment it is possible that they might in­
terfere with the electronics of your vehicle and
cause malfunctions. The reasons could be:
- no external aerial
- external aerial incorrectly installed
- transmitting power more than 10 W
Therefore you must not operate portable mobile
telephones or radio equipment inside the vehicle
without a correctly installed external aerial¢,&..
Please note also that the maximum range of the
equipment can only be achieved with an external
aerial.
Business equipment
Retrofit installation of business or other equip­
ment in the vehicle is permitted, provided the
equipment cannot interfere with the driver's im-
286 mediate
control of the vehicle. Any such equip­
ment must carry the CE mark. Any retrofit equip­
ment that could influence the driver's control of
the vehicle must have a type approval for your ve­
hicle and must carry thee mark.
A WARNING
Mobile telephones or radio equipment which
are operated inside the vehicle without a cor­
rectly installed external aerial can create ex­
cessive magnetic fields that could cause a
health hazard.
@ Note
-Any retrofit installation of electrical or elec­
tronic equipment in the vehicle will affect
its type approval. In extreme cases this
could mean that you might lose the type ap­
proval for your vehicle.
- Please refer to the mobile telephone/radio
operating instructions.
