Towing a trailer
Tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressures on your car, and adjust
for "full
load"
conditions (refer to the sticker list
ing the tyre pressures)
^>page
307. It may also
be necessary to adjust the tyre pressures on the
trailer according to the recommendations of the
trailer manufacturer.
Exterior mirrors
Check whether you can see enough of the road
behind the trailer with the standard mirrors. If
this is not the case you should have additional
mirrors fitted. Both exterior mirrors should be
mounted on hinged extension brackets. Adjust
the mirrors to give sufficient vision to the rear.
Headlights
Before starting
a
journey, check the headlight
beam settings with the trailer hitched up. Adjust
the headlight settings if necessary.
On vehicles with halogen headlights, the
head

light range control must be adjusted, see

tapage
49.
The headlight range control will be adjusted au
tomatically if your vehicle is equipped with LED
headlights*.
Power supply
To ensure that the engine can be started again
after the ignition is switched off, the power
man

agement system
^>page
149 controls the distri
bution of electrical power and gradually switches
off unnecessary electrical equipment. The trailer
is supplied with power during this period. The
power supply to the trailer is interrupted while
the engine is being started.
Removable ball joint coupling
Vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket are
equipped with a removable
ball
joint coupling.
This is stored in the spare wheel well or in a sepa
rate bag on the floor of the luggage compart
ment, together with the necessary fitting instruc

tions.

We recommend having the car serviced be
tween the normal inspection intervals if it
used frequently for towing a trailer.
Trailer stabilisation system
Applies to: vehicles with towing bracket
Trailer stabilisation helps to reduce the risk of
the vehicle skidding when towing a
trailer.

When is the trailer stabilisation
system1'

activated?
Trailer stabilisation is active when the following
requirements are met:
- The ESC must be switched on
^>page
146 and
fully functional (no ESC malfunction).
- The trailer connector must be properly secured
in the vehicle socket.
- The vehicle speed must be higher than approx.
60 km/h.
How trailer stabilisation works
In many cases, the driver can stabilise a swaying
trailer by manually braking the vehicle.
However, if the ESC detects that the trailer is
swaying and this is affecting the towing vehicle,
it will automatically brake the vehicle in order to
stabilise the trailer. The indicator
Lamp Hi
will
flash in the instrument cluster. If possible, do
not turn the steering wheel at this stage.
In order to warn traffic behind you, the brake
lights will come on during this automatic braking

operation.

A trailer may sway quite considerably without the
trailer stabilisation system intervening.
If the system for activating the trailer brake
lights is defective, this will be indicated in the in
strument cluster display

General notes on airbag system
The airbag is an integral part of the car's passive
safety system.
In conjunction with the three-point seat belts,
the airbag system gives the front occupants
addi

tional protection for the head and chest in the
event of a severe frontal collision.
In a severe side collision the side airbags and the
head-protection airbags reduce the risk of injury
to the occupants
•=>
A-
In addition to their normal function of protecting
the occupants in a collision, the seat belts also
hold them in a position where the airbags can in
flate properly and provide maximum protection.
The airbag system will only work with the
igni

tion on. The airbag system is monitored electron
ically; the airbag warning lamp indicates whether
the system is functioning properly.
The main parts of the airbag system are:
-The electronic monitoring system (control unit
and sensors)
- The two front airbags
- The front side airbags
-The head-protection airbags
- The indicator Lamp
Q
in the instrument cluster
There is a fault in the airbag system if the
warning lamp
- does not come on when the ignition is switched

on.

- does not go out about 4 seconds after the
igni

tion is switched on.
- goes out and then comes on again after the ig
nition is switched on.
- comes on or flickers while the car is moving.

A WARNING
- The airbags are not a substitute for the seat

belts;
they are an integral part of the car's
overall passive safety system. The airbags
can only offer effective protection if the oc
cupants are wearing their seat belts. For
this reason it is very important to wear the
seat belts at all times
^>page
275, Why is it
so important to use seat belts?.
The seat belts and airbags can only provide
maximum protection if the occupants are
seated correctly
^>page
58, Front seats.

•
If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean

forward,
or are not seated correctly while
the vehicle is in motion, you are at greater
risk of injury should the airbag system be
triggered in an accident.
Components of the airbag system are loca
ted in various parts of the vehicLe. If repairs
to other vehicle components make it neces
sary to perform work on the airbag system
or to remove or install parts of the airbag

system,
this may cause damage to the air-
bag system. As a result, the airbags may not
inflate correctly or may not be triggered at
all in an accident situation. For this reason,
you should always have the work carried out
by a qualified workshop.
If a fault should occur in the airbag system,
have the system checked immediately by a
qualified workshop. Otherwise the system
may fail to trigger in an accident.
Do not attempt to modify components of
the airbag system in
anyway.

Never make any alterations to the front
bumper
or
the body.
Do not remove the front seats.
The airbag system can only be activated

once;
if the airbag has been triggered, the
system must be replaced. Should the airbag
system or airbag modules have to be re

placed,
the qualified workshop carrying out
the replacement will document all details.

•
If any repair work is required
or
the airbag
and restraint systems have to be replaced,
have the work carried out by your authorised
Audi dealer or a qualified workshop which
adheres to the Audi factory standards. This
will minimise the risk of injury.
If you sell the vehicle, remember to pass on
the complete Service Wallet to the new
owner. If any of the airbags have been
