2020 AUDI Q7 length

Lights and Vision

The laser high beams are switched on at speeds
above approximately 44 mph (70 km/h), when
the high beams are activated. The Ea indicator
light turns on if the high beams are switched on.
The zB indicator light turns on if the laser lights
are switched on.
The laser beam is switched back off when the
speed decreases below approximately 30 mph
(50 km/h) or when the high beam assistant
switches the LED headlights off.

Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 118.
— All repair procedures on the headlights must
be performed by an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility that will
perform the work according to Audi factory
specifications. Incorrect repairs could result
in eye injury, impair the function, and may
void the vehicle's operating license.
— Opening the laser module is not permitted
and could cause permanent injuries to the
eyes.
— Dangerous exposure to laser beams may oc-
cur if the covers are removed or if the head-
lamp module housing is opened.

@ Tips
— The headlight contains a class 2 laser. The
technical design converts the laser beam so
that there is no danger when it is used for
its intended purpose.
— The laser beam emission from the head-
lamp has been classified in accordance with
IEC 60825-1:2007.
— The possible emission is below the thresh-
old for laser class 2.
— Maximum laser beam output: SW (continu-
ous emission), wavelength range A= 400 nm
- 700 nm.
— The headlamp light functions are rated in
accordance with IEC 62471-5:2015.
— The beam emitted from the headlamp was
classified as risk group 2.

Driving

Special driving situations
Driving uphill and downhill
When driving uphill, downhill, or at high alti-
tudes, note the following information:
— Drive slowly and carefully.
— Do not try to turn around if you cannot safely
drive on an incline or hill. Instead, drive in re-
verse.
— When driving down hills, you can activate the
hill descent control if you press the brake pedal
while driving in “D” gear. The automatic trans-
mission will select a gear suitable for driving
down the hill and will attempt to maintain the
speed at which the vehicle was traveling at the
time the brake pedal was pressed. Press the
brake pedal if necessary. The hill descent con-
trol will switch off once the hill levels out or
you press the accelerator pedal.
— Utilize the engine braking effect when driving
downhill by selecting the “S” driving program
=> page 97. This especially applies when towing
a trailer. This reduces the load on the brakes.
— Brake in intervals and do not press the brake
pedal continuously.
— Use the hill descent assist if necessary
=> page 107
Inclinometer
Applies to: vehicles with a tilt angle display
You can display the vehicle's sideways angle and
lengthwise angle in relation to the horizon.
— Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen:
VEHICLE > Vehicle data.
— You may need to scroll down to the Inclinome-
ter display.
The sideways angle of your vehicle should not ex-
ceed the yellow range in the gauge. If it reaches
the red range, there is a risk that the vehicle
might tip.
The steering wheel angle, the elevation, the com-
pass direction, and the geo-coordinates of the
current vehicle position are displayed in addition
to the current vehicle angle. You will also receive
information about the maximum sideways and
lengthwise angle that was reached in the current
106
driving cycle. These values are reset when the ig-
nition is switched off.
Note that the accuracy of the display depends on
the driving situation.

A WARNING
— Only drive on inclines that your vehicle is de-
signed to handle. Do not exceed the hill
climbing ability of your vehicle. Your vehicle
could tip or slide.
— Do not drive at an angle on steep inclines
and hills. If your vehicle is about to tip, you
must immediately start steering in the di-
rection of the downward slope to reduce the
risk of an accident.
— Always be ready to brake when using the hill
descent control function.
— Applies to: vehicles with an inclinometer: Do
not rely only on the inclinometer when as-
sessing the driving situation.
Ole MLAs)
Your vehicle is not an offroad vehicle. Note the
following points when driving offroad:

— Drive slowly and carefully.
—To reduce the risk of underbody damage, pay
attention to the vehicle's ground clearance and
drive across raised areas of the ground with the
wheels on one side of the vehicle, instead of al-
lowing the center of the vehicle to pass over the
raised areas.
—To reduce the risk of becoming stuck, drive
through sandy or swampy areas at a steady
speed and without stopping, if possible.
If necessary, use the following functions:
— Audi drive select* Offroad mode > page 108
— Hill descent assist* > page 107
—Inclinometer* > page 106
— Raising the vehicle > page 109
— Limit ESC > page 113

ZA WARNING
Only drive in terrain that is suitable for the ve-
hicle and your driving ability.

Personal route
assistance
Applies to: vehicles with navigation system and personal
route assistance
Your MMI can learn the routes that you drive fre-
quently (such as your daily commute to work and
back) and suggest route guidance based on the
current vehicle position.
When the function is switched on, the MMI re-
cords the routes driven regardless of whether or
not you are using navigation.
Without starting route guidance, your MMI can
check the traffic conditions and shows possible
traffic incidents for the possible routes to be driv-
en.
Opening personal routes
Requirement: personal route assistance must be
switched on > page 200. Route guidance must
not be active. A notification is displayed.
> The MMI displays up to three suggestions.
Press on a suggestion. Route guidance will
start.
Better routes
If there are major traffic incidents, the MMI will
display a notification regardless of the selected
menu. If the MMI has calculated a better route,
you can select it as the route.
> Press on the notification.
As soon as you switch off personal route assis-
tance, your personal routes will no Longer be re-
corded. Routes that were already stored remain
stored.

Wheels

install the tires from the rear axle
on the front axle and vice versa.
This will allow the tires to have
approximately the same length of
service life.
For unidirectional tires, make sure
the tires are installed according to
the running direction indicated on
the tire sidewall > page 278.
Hidden damage
Damage to tires and rims can of-
ten occur in locations that are hid-
den. Unusual vibrations in the ve-
hicle or pulling to one side may
indicate that there is tire damage.
Reduce your speed immediately.
Check the tires for damage. If no
damage is visible from the out-
side, drive slowly and carefully to
the nearest authorized Audi deal-
er or authorized Audi Service Fa-
cility to have the vehicle inspect-
ed.

Z\ WARNING
Tread that has worn too low or
uneven tread depths on the
tires can reduce driving safety.
This can increase the risk of an
accident because it has a nega-
tive effect on handling, driving
through curves, and braking,

256

and because it increases the
risk of hydroplaning when driv-
ing through deep puddles.
