Fig. 173 Sill: positioning the vehicle jack
> Place the vehicle jack from the vehicle tool kit
ona firm surface. Use a flat, stable support if
necessary. On a slippery surface such as tile,
you should use a non-slip pad such as a rubber
mat > /\.
> Find the marking on the sill that is closest to
the tire that will be changed > fig. 172. Behind
the marking, there is a lifting point on the side
sill for the vehicle jack.
> Using the hex socket wrench (3) from the vehi-
cle tool kit, turn the vehicle jack under the lift-
ing point on the side sill until it is high enough
that the arm @ © fig. 173 is under the desig-
nated plastic mount.
> Align the vehicle jack so the arm @ engages in
the designated lifting point in the door sill and
the base (2) lies flat on the ground. The base (2)
must be directly under the mounting point @.
> To lift the vehicle, position the ratchet @) from
the vehicle tool kit with the correct side on the
hex socket wrench (3).
> Move the ratchet () clockwise back and forth
until the wheel lifts up slightly from the
ground.

AN WARNING
—To reduce the risk of injury, make sure no
one is in the vehicle before raising it.
— Make sure the vehicle jack is stable. The risk
of injury is increased when the ground is
slippery or soft, because the vehicle jack
could slide or sink.
— Only raise your vehicle with the vehicle jack
provided by the factory. If you use a vehicle
jack designed for another vehicle, your vehi-
cle could slip and cause injury.
— Position the vehicle jack only at the desig-
nated mounting points on the side sill and
align the jack. Otherwise, the vehicle jack
could slip and cause an injury if it does not
have sufficient hold on the vehicle.
—To reduce the risk of injury, do not raise any
other vehicles or other loads using the vehi-
cle jack provided by the factory.
— Applies to: vehicles with air suspension:
Changes in temperature or load can affect
the height of the vehicle.
— To reduce the risk of an accident, never
switch the drive system on while the vehicle
is raised.
—To reduce the risk of injury, no work should
be performed under the vehicle while it is
raised.
@) Note
Do not lift the vehicle by the sill. Position the
vehicle jack only at the designated mounting
points on the side sill. Otherwise, your vehicle
could be damaged.

@) Note
The compressor must be switched off after six
minutes at the most to reduce the risk of
overheating. Let the compressor cool down
for several minutes before using it again.

The ESC must not be limited or switched off
when driving with the collapsible spare tire
=>page 105.
Jump starting
The vehicle cannot be operated when the 12 Volt
vehicle battery is drained. Your vehicle must not
be jump started in this case. Contact an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty.
@) Note
The vehicle battery must not be bridged using
conventional jump start methods.

Towing
General information
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.
Audi 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
— 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.
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.
Z\ 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.
