IX WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.
— Sensors and cameras have spots in which
the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's surroundings directly and do not


become distracted.

@) Note
— The orange orientation lines @ show the di-
rection the rear of the vehicle will be travel-
ing, based on the steering wheel angle. The
front of the vehicle swings out more than
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor-
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
— Keep enough distance from the curb to
avoid damage to the rims.
— Only use the images provided by the camera
on the rear of the vehicle when the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggage compartment lid do not block
the rearview camera.
@) Tips
There is no distance warning for the rear and
the sides* when trailer towing mode is detect-
ed. The front sensors remain activated. The
visual display switches to trailer mode. The
rearview camera image will not show the ori-
entation lines and the blue surfaces. There is
no guarantee the functions will switch off
when using a retrofitted trailer hitch.

ZA\ WARNING
— To reduce the risk of an accident, only use
Audi connect services when road and traffic
conditions permit. Always read and follow
the notes in > page 18, Traffic safety infor-
mation.
— It is only safe to use tablets, laptops, mobile
devices and other similar devices when the
vehicle is stationary because, like all loose
objects, they could be thrown around the in-
side of the vehicle in a crash and cause seri-
ous injuries. Store these types of devices se-
curely while driving.
— As the driver, do not allow usage of the Wi-
Fi hotspot to distract you from driving, as
this could increase the risk of an accident.
— Do not use any wireless devices on the front
seats within range of the airbags while driv-
ing. Also read the warnings in the chapter
=> page 61, Airbag system.
—To reduce the risk of an accident, use the Au-
di connect Infotainment services with a Wi-
Fi hotspot only in the rear seat when the ve-
hicle is in motion, or only when the vehicle is
stationary.

@) Note
— Applies to: embedded SIM card usage: The
connection costs of Audi connect Infotain-
ment services are included in the price of

additional information, see my.audi.com.
— In certain situations, the Wi-Fi hotspot data
connection may be established as a replace-
ment for the SIM card on your Wi-Fi device.
This feature depends on the configuration
of your Wi-Fi device and operating system.
This could result in fees depending on your
cell phone service provider, especially if you
are using this feature while abroad. A flat
rate data plan is strongly recommended. For
more information, contact your cell phone
service provider or refer to the owner's man-
ual for your Wi-Fi device.

optimum gripping properties.
Drive carefully and at moderate
speeds for the first 350 miles
(500 km) with new tires.

AN WARNING
Please note the important safe-
ty precautions regarding tire
pressure > page 226 and load
limits > page 228.
Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop.
Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al-
so damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden
tire failure, including a blowout

@) Two people in the front, one person in the rear
and sudden deflation that can
cause the vehicle to crash.
Your safety and that of your pas-
sengers also depends on making
sure that load limits are not ex-
ceeded. Vehicle load includes ev-
erybody and everything in and on
the vehicle. These load limits are
technically referred to as the vehi-
cle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(“GVWR”).
The “GVWR” includes the weight
of the basic vehicle, all factory in-
stalled accessories, a full tank of
fuel, oil, coolant and other fluids
plus maximum load. The maxi-
mum load includes the number of >

Driving in other
countries
Government regulations in the United States and
Canada require motor vehicles to comply with
emissions regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles that were produced for the
U.S. and Canadian markets are different from ve-
hicles produced for other countries.
If you plan to use your vehicle outside of the
United States or Canada, it is possible that:
— Fuel may have a significantly lower octane rat-
ing. Unsuitable fuels can cause engine damage.
— Proper maintenance and repair work may not
be possible because special service equipment,
tools, or measuring devices needed for your ve-
hicle may not be available.
258
— Replacement parts may not always be availa-
ble.
— Navigation systems for vehicles built for the
U.S.A. and Canada will not necessarily work in
Europe, and may not work in other countries.

Audi is not liable for damage to the vehicle re-
sulting from these country-specific differen-
ces.
Maintenance, repairs,
and technical modifi-
cations
Note the safety precautions > page 203, General
information and > page 243, Raising the vehicle.
General information
Due to the increasing complexity of technology in
these vehicles, as well as the safety and environ-
mental standards that apply, you can only per-
form a very limited amount of repairs and modifi-
cations to the vehicle yourself.
Proof of maintenance work may be required to
submit a claim within the warranty period.
We recommend that you have your vehicle serv-
iced by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility and that Audi Genuine Parts
and Audi Genuine Accessories are used. This
helps to ensure that your vehicle's functionality,
performance, and safety are not impaired.
Maintenance and repairs
Your vehicle was designed to help keep mainte-
nance requirements to a minimum. Some regular
maintenance is required to help ensure that your
vehicle runs in a safe, economical, and reliable
manner. Please refer to your Warranty & Mainte-
nance Booklet for more detailed information
about vehicle maintenance.
When operating the vehicle under more extreme
operating conditions, for example when outside
temperatures are very low or in very dusty envi-
ronments, certain maintenance should be per-
formed between the specified intervals.
