Trailer towing
Trailer towing
Driving with a trailer
General information
Your Audi was designed primarily for passenger
transportation.
If you plan to tow a trailer, please remember that
the additional load will affect durability, economy and performance.
Trailer towing not on ly places more stress on the
ve hicle, it also ca lls for more concentration from
the dr iver.
F or this reason, always follow the operating and
driving instructions provided and use common
sense.
Technical requirements
Trailer hitch
Use a weight-carrying hitch conforming to the
gross tra iler weight. The hitch must be suitab le
for your veh icle and tra iler and must be mounted
securely on the vehicle's chassis at a technically
sound
locat ion . Use on ly a trailer hitch with a re
movable ba ll mount . Always che ck with the t rail
er hitch man ufac tur er to make s ure t hat you are
using the co rrect hi tc h.
Do not use a bumper hitch.
The hitch must be installed in such a way that it
does not interfere with the impact -absorbing
bumper system. No mod ificat ions should be
made to the vehicle exhaust and b rake systems .
Fr om t ime to t ime, che ck that all hitch mo unti ng
bol ts rem ain securely f aste ned.
W hen you are not tow ing a tra iler, remove the
tra ile r hitc h ba ll mount . This prevents the hit ch
from caus ing damage s hou ld your veh icle be
s truck from be hind ¢

increasing force within the limits of the
system
l)_ This reduces the vehicle speed in the
event of a collision. At low vehicle speeds, pre
sense front can initiate a complete deceleration
shortly before a collision with a vehicle driving
ahead
1>. If pre sense front determines that you
are not braking strongly enough when a collision
is imminent, it can increase the braking force .
The following functions trigger in conjunction
with pre sense basic/rear at corresponding vehi
cle speeds :
- Reversible tensioning of the front safety belts.
- Closing the windows and sunroof*.
- Inflating the side bolsters* in the seat backrest
and seat surface.
Audi drive select*: the reversible belt tensioner,
the closing of the windows and sunroof* as well
as the inflating of the side bolste rs* on the seat
backrest and seat surface are not active depend
ing on the mode selected .
Collision avoidance assist
Collision avoidance assist helps you to steer the
vehicle around an obstacle in a critical situation.
If you avoid an obstacle after the acute warning,
then the collision avoidance supports you by ap plying slight steering adjustment to correct your
steering wheel angle as long as you are actively
steering. Collision avoidance assist is available at
speeds between approximately 20 mph (30 km/
h) and 90 mph (150 km/h).
Turn assist
When starting to drive and up to speeds of maxi
mum 6 mph (10 km/h), the turn assist uses a
braking intervention to prevent your vehicle from
colliding with an oncoming vehicle when turning left or right (available in certain countries) . The
braking intervention causes your vehicle to stay
in its lane.

-Pre sense front cannot overcome the laws of
physics.

stance. The driver must always intervene.
The driver is always responsible for braking
at the correct time. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks .
This could increase your risk of a collis ion.
- The system can deploy incorrectly due to
system-specific limits.
- Please note that the sensors and the camera
do not always detect all objects or lane
markings . This increases the risk of an acci
dent.

in General information on page 97.
-Reflective objects such as guard rails or the
entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain and ice can
affect the function of the radar sensors and
the system's ability to detect a collision risk.
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. Pre sense front can be impaired
by this. Have an authorized Audi dealer or au
thorized Audi Service Facility check their func
tion.
(D Tips
- You can cancel the braking with increasing
force that is initiated by the system by brak
ing yourself, by accelerating noticeably or
by swerving.
- Keep in mind that pre sense front can brake
unexpectedly. Always secure any cargo or
objects that you are transporting to reduce
the risk of damage or injury.
