A WARNING 
Anyone  not  properly  restrained  in  a  moving 
vehicle  is at  a  much  greater  risk in an  acci
dent.  Never  let  anyone  ride  in your  car  who  is 
not  p roperly  wearing  the  restraints  p rovided 
by Audi. 
Trailer  mode  notes 
Important  to  know  -
Your vehicle  handles  differently  when  towing  a 
trailer  because  of  the  additional  weight  and  dif
ferent  weight  distribution.  Safety,  performance 
and 
economy  will  greatly  depend  on  how  careful
ly  you  load  your  trailer  and  operate  your  rig . 
Before  you  actually  tow  your  trailer,  practice 
turning,  stopping  and  backing  up  in an  area  away 
from  traff ic.  Keep  practicing  until  you  have  be
come  comp letely  fami liar  with  the  way your  vehi
cle-trailer  comb inat ion  behaves  and  responds. 
Backing  up  is difficult  and  requires  practice. 
Backing  up  with  a trailer  generally  requires steer-
Trailer  mode 
ing  action  opposite  to  that  when  backing  up your 
vehicle  without  a trailer . 
Maintain  a  greater  distance  between your  vehicle 
and  the  one  in front  of  you.  You will  need more 
room  to  stop . To  compensate  for the  trailer,  you 
will  need  a  larger  than  normal  turning  radius . 
When  passing,  remember  that you cannot  accel
erate  as  fast  as you  normally  wo uld because  of 
the  added  load . Make  sure  you  have  enough  room 
to  pass.  After  passing,  allow  p lenty  of  room  for 
your  trailer  before  changing  lanes  again . 
Avo id  jerky  starts,  sharp  turns  or  rapid  lane 
changes. 
(D Tips 
- Do  not  tow  a trailer  during  the  break-in  peri
od  of  your  veh icle. 
-If you  tow  a  trailer,  your  Audi may  require 
more  frequent  maintenance  due  to  the ex
tra  load  ¢ 
page  2 73. 
Parking  on a slope 
Do not  pork  on a  slope with  a trailer.  If it cannot 
be  avoided,  do so  only ofter  doing  the following: 
When  parking: 
"Apply  the foot  brake . 
"  Have  someone  place chocks  under  both  the ve
hicle  and  the  trailer  wheels. 
"W ith chocks  in place,  slowly  release  the  brakes 
until  the  wheel  chocks  absorb the load. 
" Turn  the  whee ls towards  the curb. 
" App ly  the  parking  brake. 
" Select  the  P selector  lever position. 
When  restarting  after  parking: 
"App ly  the  foot  brake. 
" Start  the  engine . 
"S elect  the  D/S  se lector  lever  position. 
" Release  the  parking  brake  and  slowly  pull  out 
and  away  from  the  wheel  chocks. 
" Stop  and  have  someone  retrieve  the  wheel 
chocks.
