@) Tips
The ESC must not be limited or switched off
when driving with the collapsible spare tire
=> page 102.

be jump started in this case. Contact an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty.

Towing
ee eeue lela)
You should only perform the steps that follow if
you have the necessary tools and technical ex-
pertise.
Towing requires a certain amount of practice. Au-
di recommends contacting a towing company to
have the vehicle transported.
You should only have your vehicle towed by an-
other vehicle when disabled in exceptional cir-
cumstances. Inexperienced drivers should not
tow.

— The maximum permitted towing speed is 30
mph (50 km/h).
— The maximum permitted towing distance is 30
miles (50 km).
276
Additional information on towing with a tow
truck
The vehicle may only be towed with the front axle
raised. Do not wrap any chains or cables around
the brake lines.
Tow bar and towing cable
The vehicle can be towed with a tow bar or tow-
ing cable. Both drivers should be familiar with
the special considerations when towing, especial-
ly when using a towing cable.
Always make sure the traction force does not ex-
ceed the permitted level and there are no shock
loading conditions. There is always the risk of the
coupling becoming overloaded when driving off-
road.
For the most safety and security, drive with a tow
bar. You should use a towing cable only if a tow
bar is not available. Use a towing cable made of
synthetic elastic cable similar elastic material.

ZA WARNING
— Towing highly increases the risk of an acci-
dent, for example from colliding with the
towing vehicle.
—To reduce the risk of an accident, do not al-
low anyone to remain inside the vehicle
when it is being transported by a tow truck

or a special transporter.

@) Note
—Ifthe |_E| indicator light turns on, there is a
fault in the cooling circuit. The vehicle must
not be towed. The drive system can be se-
verely damaged.
— If normal towing is not possible, for exam-
ple if the transmission is faulty or if the
towing distance is greater than 30 miles
(50 km), then transport the vehicle on a
special carrier.
— If the vehicle is towed by a tow truck at the
axle that is not permitted, this can cause se-
vere damage to the transmission.
— Towing must not be used to charge the
high-voltage battery (recuperation), be-
cause this could result in major damages to
the tow vehicle or the vehicle being towed. >

Emergency assistance

— The vehicle must not be tow started for
technical reasons.
@ Tips
— Switch Audi pre sense* off > page 153 when
loading the vehicle onto a vehicle carrier,
train, ship,

or when towing the vehicle. This can prevent
an undesired intervention from the pre

— Follow the local legal regulations for tow-
ing.

=> page 276.
Preparations
> Only secure the towing cable or tow bar at the
designated towing loops > page 277,
=> page 278.
> Make sure the towing cable is not twisted. Oth-
erwise it could disconnect from the towing loop

tion is switched on. Power steering only works
when the ignition is switched on and the vehicle
is rolling ). If the brake booster and power
steering are not functioning, you must press

the brake pedal much harder and use more
force to steer.
