cle.
Starting the engine
> Start the engine in the vehicle giving the charge
and let it run at idle.
> Now start the engine in your vehicle, which has
the drained battery.
> If the engine does not start, stop the starting
procedure after 10 seconds and then repeat it
after approximately 30 seconds.
> Turn on the rear window defogger in your vehi-
cle in order to reduce any voltage peaks that
may occur when disconnecting the jump start
cables. The headlights must be switched off.
> With the engines running, remove the cables in
reverse order of the way they were installed.
> Close the red cover on the positive terminal.


Z\ WARNING
— Never connect the jump start cable directly
to your vehicle battery. Only use the connec-
tions in the engine compartment.
— Do not touch the non-insulated parts of the
terminal clamps. The cable must also not
come into contact with vehicle components
that conduct electricity when it is connected
to the positive vehicle battery terminal. This
can cause a short circuit.
—The plugs on the battery cells must not be
opened.
— Keep ignition sources (such as open flames,
burning cigarettes, etc.) away from the vehi-
cle batteries to reduce the risk of an explo-
sion.
— Route the jump start cables so they cannot
get caught in the moving parts in the other
vehicle's engine compartment.

@) Note
Please note that the connecting process previ-
ously described for the jump start cables is in-
tended for when your vehicle is being jump
started.

Emergency assistance

Preparations
> Only secure the towing cable or tow bar at the
designated towing loops > page 296,
=> page 297.
> Make sure the towing cable is not twisted. Oth-
erwise it could disconnect from the towing loop
while towing.

the steering wheel is not locked and so that you
can use the turn signals, the horn, and the
windshield wipers if needed > /\.
> Switching it off before the vehicle has stopped
may impair the function of the brake booster
and power steering. You would then need to
use more force to steer and brake the vehicle.
> Release the parking brake > page 106.
> Select the “N” selector lever position.
> Make sure the towing cable is always taut.


Z\ WARNING
— Never tow a vehicle using a tow bar or tow-
ing cable if the vehicle does not have electri-
cal power.
— If the vehicle runs out of power while it is
being towed, stop towing the vehicle imme-
diately and consult an authorized Audi deal-
er or qualified repair facility.

Data privacy

typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehi-
cle is designed to record such data as:
— How various systems in your vehicle were oper-
ating;
— Whether or not the driver and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
— How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
— How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and in-
juries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.
name, gender, age, and crash location) are re-
corded. However, other parties, such as law en-
forcement, could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac-
quired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manu-
facturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment, can read the in-
formation if they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
Assist system monitor
This vehicle is equipped with an Assist System
Monitor (ASM). The ASM collects data that is not
stored by the EDR in the event of an accident. The
main task of the ASM is to make it possible to un-
derstand the role and the behavior of the assist
systems in these accident situations. In addition
to the data that the EDR stores, the ASM records
data related to the assist systems starting sever-
al seconds before the accident or near-accident.
The data collected by ASM depends on the equip-
ment and may include the following information:
status information of the assist systems (for ex-
ample, if they are switched on or off, system
events, etc.), control interventions (for example,

D_ System availability may be limited depending on the mar-
ket.
2) In preparation at the time of printing.
304
by ESC, ABS, Audi pre sense’, etc.), and assist
systems settings (such as speed settings).
Special devices and access to the vehicle or to the
ASM are necessary in order to read the data from
the ASM memory. In addition to the vehicle man-
ufacturer, third parties such as law enforcement
authorities can also read and analyze the stored
data if they have access to the vehicle or to the
ASM.
Data usage
Audi can read out the information stored in the
data memories or similar data, or give this infor-
mation to third parties, especially in the follow-
ing situations:
— If the vehicle owner or lessee agrees
— If there is an official request from the police
— Ifa court or authorities request it
If legally permitted, Audi can also use the data
for analysis of vehicle operation and safety per-
formance or provide this data to third parties for
research purposes.
Data memory for autonomous driving!)
Applies to: vehicles with data memory for autonomous driv-
ing
When park assist plus is active > page 170, data
is stored in a memory in the vehicle. This data is
continuously overwritten by more current data
after a few seconds. The data is erased when the
ignition is switched off.
In certain situations, such as if an airbag has
been triggered or a parking process was ended,
the corresponding technical data may be stored
in the data memory for autonomous driving. The
data memory for autonomous driving is a read-
only memory that has a limited amount of stor-
age space. If the storage space is full, the oldest
data will be overwritten with the newest data. >
