Emergency assistance 
  
There are some restrictions on the use of the 
compact spare tire. The compact spare tire has 
been designed specifically for your type of vehi- 
cle. Do not replace it with the spare tire from an- 
other type of vehicle. 
The compact spare tire is located in the luggage 
compartment under the cargo floor cover 
=> page 242. 
The tire pressure must be 61 PSI (420 kPA). 
Snow chains 
For technical reasons, the  use of snow chains on 
the compact spare tire is not permitted. 
If you have to drive with snow chains and a front 
tire fails, mount the spare tire in place of a rear 
tire. Install  the snow chains on the rear tire that 
you removed, and install that in place of the 
front tire that failed. 
  
ZA WARNING 
— After  installing a spare tire, the tire pressure 
must be checked as soon as possible. 
— Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) 
with a compact spare tire. Driving faster 
than that increases the risk of an accident. 
— To reduce the risk of an accident, avoid hard 
acceleration or braking and driving fast 
around curves with the compact spare tire. 
— To reduce the risk of an accident, never drive 
with more than one compact spare tire. 
— Normal summer or winter tires must not be 
mounted on the compact spare wheel rim. 
  
battery that is giving power  must not be less 
than the capacity of the drained vehicle battery. 
Jump start cable 
Only use a jump start cable with a large enough 
diameter. Note the manufacturer's specifica- 
tions. 
Only use a jump start cable with insulated termi- 
nal clamps. 
Positive cable - usually red. 
Negative cable - usually black. 
  
ZA WARNING 
— A drained battery can freeze at tempera- 
tures around 32 °F (0 °C). If the vehicle bat- 
tery is frozen, it must be thawed before con- 
necting the jump start cables. If it is not, 
the risk of an explosion and chemical burns 
increases. After jump starting the vehicle, 
drive to an authorized Audi dealer or author- 
ized Audi Service Facility immediately to 
have the vehicle battery checked. 
— Read the warnings when working in the en- 
gine compartment > page 203. 
— Handling the jump start cables incorrectly 
may cause the vehicle battery to explode 
and lead to serious injuries. 
—To reduce the risk of chemical burns, do not 
  
bend over the vehicle battery. 
  
    
Jump starting 
You should only perform the steps that follow if 
you  have the necessary tools and technical ex- 
pertise. 
If the engine does not start because the vehicle 
battery is drained, you can jump start your vehi- 
cle using another vehicle. Jump start cables are 
needed to do this. 
Both vehicle batteries must have 12 V nominal 
voltage. The voltage capacity (Ah) of the vehicle 
246 
() Note 
Jump start cables can cause considerable 
damage to the vehicle electrical system if 
they are connected incorrectly. 
G) Tips 
— There must be  no contact between the  vehi- 
cles, or else voltage could flow when con- 
necting the positive terminal and drain the 
vehicle battery of the vehicle providing the 
jump start. 
— The drained vehicle battery must be con- 
nected correctly to the electrical system. 
— Switch off electrical equipment that is not 
needed.

Starting the engine 
Both jump start cables must be connected in the 
correct order.

Fig. 163 Connecting the jump start cables 
The jump start cable connections are located in 
the engine compartment. 
Follow the information about the vehicle battery 
=> page 212. 
Connecting the positive cable (red) to the 
positive terminal 
> Open the cover on the positive terminal 
> fig. 162. 
1. Attach one end of the positive cable (red) to 
the positive terminal on the vehicle battery 
@ ° fig. 163. 
2. Attach the other end of the positive cable 
(red) to the positive terminal @ on the pow- 
er source. 
Connecting the negative cable (black) to the 
negative terminal 
3. Attach one end of the negative cable (black) 
to the negative terminal @) on the power 
source. 
4. Attach the other end of the negative cable 
(black) to the jump-start pin @ on the vehi- 
cle. 
Starting the engine 
> Start the engine in the vehicle giving the charge 
and let it run at idle. 
> Now start the engine in your vehicle, which has 
the 
drained battery. 
> If the engine does not start: Stop the starting 
procedure after  10 seconds and then repeat it 
after approximately 30 seconds. 
> Turn on the rear window defogger in your vehi- 
cle in order to reduce any voltage peaks that 
may occur when disconnecting the jump start 
cables. The headlights must be switched off. 
> With the engines running, remove the cables in 
reverse  order of the way they were installed. 
> Close the cover on the positive terminal. 
  
ZA WARNING 
— Do not touch the non-insulated parts of the 
terminal clamps. The cable must also not 
come into contact with vehicle components 
that conduct electricity when it is connected 
to the positive vehicle battery terminal. This 
can cause a short circuit. 
— The plugs on the battery cells must not be 
opened. 
— Keep ignition sources (such as open flames, 
burning cigarettes, etc.) away from the  vehi- 
cle batteries to reduce the risk of an explo- 
sion. 
— Route the jump start cables so they cannot 
get caught in the moving parts in the other 
     
vehicle's engine compartment. 
  
q@ Note 
— Do not use  the negative terminal on the ve- 
hicle battery for jump starting. A malfunc- 
tion could occur in the vehicle electrical sys- 
tem. 
— Please note that the connecting process 
previously described for the jump start ca- 
bles is intended for when your vehicle is be- 
ing jump started. If you are jump starting 
another vehicle, connect the negative cable 
(-) to a large metal component that is 
247  

Emergency assistance 
  
bolted securely to the engine block, or  to 
the engine block itself. If the vehicle battery 
in the vehicle being jump started is not 
vented to the outside, there is a risk of ex- 
plosion  due to hydrogen gas. 
Gi) Tips 
Make sure that the connected jump start ca- 
bles have sufficient contact with metal. 
Towing 
erasure) 
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. 
Notes on towing 
When the engine is stopped, the transmission 
will not be sufficiently lubricated if traveling at 
high speeds and long distances: 
— The maximum permitted towing speed is 30 
mph (50 km/h). 
— The maximum permitted towing distance is 30 
miles (50 km). 
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. 
If the vehicle should be towed with the axle 
raised, then the ignition must be switched off to 
reduce the risk  of damage to the drivetrain. 
Tow bar and towing cable 
The vehicle can be towed with a tow bar or tow- 
ing cable. Both drivers should be familiar with 
248 
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 
— 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. 
— The vehicle must not be tow started for 
technical reasons. 
(i) Tips 
— If the power supply is interrupted, then it 
will not be possible to move the selector 
lever out of the "P" position. The parking 
lock must be released using the emergency 
release before towing the vehicle 
> page 85. 
— Switch Audi pre sense* off > page 123 when 
loading the vehicle onto a vehicle carrier, 
train,  ship, or other type of transportation, 
or when towing the vehicle. This can prevent 
an undesired intervention from the pre 
sense* system.
