Trailer mode Driving with a trailer
General information
Your Audi was designed primarily for passenger
transportation .
If you plan to tow a tra iler, p lease remember that
the additiona l load will affect d urability, econo­
my and performance .
T railer towing not on ly places more stress on the
vehicle, it a lso calls for more concentrat ion from
the dr iver .
F or this reason, a lways fo llow the operating and
d riving instructions provided and use common
sense.
Technical requirements
Traile r hitch
Use a weight-carrying hitch conforming to the
gross trailer we ight. The hitch must be suitable
for your vehicle and trai ler and must be mounted
securely on the veh icle 's chassis at a technically
sound
location . Use on ly a tra iler hitc h with a re­
movable ba ll mou nt. Always chec k w ith the t ra il­
e r hitch m anu fac tur er to make sure that you a re
using the co rrec t hitch.
Do not use a bumper hitch .
The hitch must be installed in such a way that it
does not i nterfere wit h the impact -absorbi ng
bumper system. No mod ificat ions should b e
mad e to the vehicle exhaust and brake systems .
Fr om time to t ime, c hec k t hat a ll h itch mou nti ng
bo lts remain sec urely fastened .
When you are no t tow ing a trailer,
remove the
trai ler hitch ball mount . Th is prevents the hitc h
fr om caus ing damage should you r vehicle be
s truck from behind~,&. .
Trailer brakes
If yo ur tra iler is equipped w it h a braking system,
check to be s ure that it conforms to all regu la­
tions.
Trailer mode
T he trailer hyd raulic brake system must not be di ­
rect ly connected to the ve hicle's hydraulic b rake
system .
Safety chains
Always use s afe ty chains be tween your ve hicle
and the tra ile r.
Trailer lights
Tra ile r li ghts must meet all regulations. Be sure
to check w it h your Aud i dea le r fo r corr ect w irin g,
swi tches and relays.
Mirrors
If you a re unable to see the traffic behind you us­
i ng the regular o uts ide mirrors, then you
must in ­
sta ll extended mirrors .
It is importa nt that you
always have clea r vision to the rea r.
_&. WARNING
Afte r removing the trailer hit ch, d o no t store
i t in yo ur vehicle. In ca se of sudden br akin g,
the hitch could fly fo rward and inju re you or
your passengers.
Operating instructions
Maximum traile r weight
A trai le r fo r you r vehicle is limited to a typi cal
class 1 or class 2 trai le r.
Trailer load distribution
B e sure the load in the t raile r is held secure ly in
pla ce to p revent it from shift ing forward, back­
ward or sideways .
Never allow a pas senger to ride in a trailer~.&.
in Driving instructions on page 92.
Engine cooling system
Towing a trailer makes the engine work harder . It
is important tha t the cooling system 's pe rform­
ance is up to the additional load. Make s ure that
the coo ling system has enoug h flu id.
Tire pressure
When towing a trailer, inflate the tires of your ve-
hicle to the cold tire pressure listed under "Full
lilJJ..

Trailer mode
load" on the label located on the driver's side B ­
pillar (visible when the door is open). Inflate
trailer tires to trailer and tire manufacturers'
specifications.
Lights
Check to make sure both vehicle and trailer lights
are working properly.
Safety chains
Be sure tra iler safety cha ins are properly connect­
ed from the trailer to the hitch on the vehicle.
L eave enough slack in the chains to permit turn­
ing corners. When you install safety chains, make
sure they will not drag on the road when you are
driving .
The chains should cross under the trai ler tongue
to prevent it from dropping in case of separation
from the hitch .
Driving instructions
Driving with a trailer always requires extra care
and consideration .
To obta in the best poss ible handling of vehicle
and trailer, please note the following:
.,. Do not tow a loaded tra iler when your car itself
is not loaded.
.. Be especia lly careful when passing other
vehicles.
.. Observe speed limits .
.. Do not drive at the maximum permissible
speed.
.. Always apply brakes early.
.. Monitor the temperature gauge.
Weight distribution
Towing a loaded trai ler with an empty car results
in a high ly unstable distribution of weight. If this
cannot be avoided, drive at very low speeds only
to avoid the risk of losing steering control.
A "balanced" rig is easie r to operate and control.
This means that the tow vehicle should be loaded
to the extent possible and permissible, while
keeping the trailer as light as poss ible under the
circumstances. Whenever possible, transfer
some cargo to the luggage compartment of the
92
tow vehicle while observing tongue load require­
ments and vehicle loading considerations.
Speed
The higher the speed, the more diff icult it be­
comes for the driver to control the rig. Do not
drive at the maximum permissible speed. Reduce
your speed even more if load, weather or wind
conditions are unfavorab le -particularly when
going downh ill.
Reduce veh icle speed
immediately if the trailer
shows the slightest sign of swaying .
Do not try
to stop the swaying by accelerating.
Observe speed limits. In some areas, speeds for
vehicles towing tra ile rs are lower than fo r regular
vehicles .
Always apply brakes early. When driving down­
hill, shift int o a lo wer gear to use the eng ine
braking effect to slow the vehicle . Use of the
brakes alone can cause them to overheat and fail.
Coolant temperature
The coolant temperature gauge¢ page 12 must
be obse rved carefully. The coolant temperature
can increase if you dr ive on long inclines in a low
gear at high engine speeds . Reduce your speed
immediately if the LEDs in the top part of the dis­
play turn on .
For more information abo ut ind icator lights, re­
fer to. ¢
page 19 .
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 proper ly wearing the restraints provided
by Aud i.
Trailer mode notes
Important to know
Your vehicle handles differently when towing a
trai ler because of the additiona l weight and dif­
ferent weight distribution . Safety, performance
and economy will greatly depend on how careful-
ly you load your trailer and operate your r ig. ..,.

Before you actually tow your trailer, practice
turning, stopping and backing up in an area away
from traffic. Keep practicing until you have be ­
come completely fami liar with the way your ve hi­
cle-trailer combination behaves and responds.
Backing up is d iff icu lt and requires practice . Back ­
i ng up w ith a trailer generally req uires steering
action oppos ite to that when backing up yo ur ve­
hi cle without a trailer.
M aintain a g reater distance betwee n your vehicle
and the one in front of yo u. You w ill need more
room to stop. To compensate for the tra iler, you
will need a larger than norma l turning radius.
When passing, remember that yo u cannot acce l­
erate as fast as yo u normally would because of
the added load. Make sure you have enough room
to pass. After passing, allow plenty of room for
your trailer before changing lanes again.
Avoid jerky sta rts, sharp turns or rapid lane
changes.
@ Tips
- Do not tow a tra ile r during the break-in peri­
od of yo ur vehicle.
- If yo u tow a t railer, you r A udi may require
more frequent ma intenance due to the ex­
tra load
~ page 262.
Parking on a slope
Do not park on a slope with a trailer . If it cannot
be avoided, do so only after doing the following:
When parking:
.. Apply the foo t brake .
.. Have someone pla ce chocks under bo th t he ve ­
hicle and the trailer wheels .
.. With c hocks i n place, s lowly re lease the brakes
u nti l the whee l chocks absorb the load .
.. Turn the wheels towards the c urb .
.. Apply the parking brake .
.. Se lect the P selector lever pos ition.
When restarting after parking :
.. Apply the foot brake .
.. Start the eng ine.
.. Se lect the D/S selector lever posit ion.
Trailer mode
.. Release the pa rking brake and s lowly pull out
an d away from the wheel chocks .
.. Stop and have someone retr ieve the wheel
chocks.
(D Tips
If you move the selector leve r of the automat­
i c transm iss ion to P before app ly ing the park­
i ng brake and before blocking the wheels, you
may have to use mo re force later to move the
l ever out of the P posit ion.

Assist Electronic speed limiter*
Applies to veh icles: with electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with ti res
that are rated for a maximum speed of 130 mph
(210 km/h) . T his is less than the maximum speed
of your vehicle . To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operat­
ed at excessive speeds, your vehicle also has an
electronic speed limiter. The electronic speed
limiter prevents your vehicle from going faster
than the tir e speed rat ing . For more information
~page 221.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle
road speed signals, the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL)
¢4 will illuminate . If this occurs,
contact the nearest a utho rized Audi dealer for as­
sistance .
A WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and
adjust your speed to suit prevailing road, traf­
fic and weather conditions . Never drive your
vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating of the tires installed.
Speed warning system
Introduction
The speed warning system helps you to stay un­
der a specified maximum speed.
-
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set .
You will hear a warning tone when your speed ex­
ceeds the stored value by approximately 3 mph
(3 km/h) . Th e. (USA models)/. (Canada
models) indicator light and the message
Speed
limit exceeded!
appear in the instrument cluster
disp lay at the same time . The ./. indicator
light turns off when the speed decreases below
the stored maximum speed.
Setting a thresho ld is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when you re ach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener-
94
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed for winter tires.
(D Tips
Regardless of the speed warning system, you
should always monitor your speed using the
speedometer and make sure you are following
the legal speed limit .
Setting the threshold
You can set, change and delete the threshold in
the MMI.
.. Select: the I MENU I button >Car> Systems*
contro l button > Driver assistance > Speed
warning.
You can set any threshold between 20 mph
(30 km/h) and 150 mph (240 km/h) . Settings
can each be adjusted in increments of 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Cruise control system
· Description
Applies to vehicles: with cruise control system
The cruise control system makes it poss ible to
drive at a constant speed starting at 15 mph
(20 km/h).
The speed is kept constant by modify ing engine
power or through an act ive brake intervention.
A WARNING
- Always pay attention to the traffic around
you when the cruise control is in operation.
You are a lways responsible for your speed
and the distance between your vehicle and
other vehicles.
- For reasons of safety, cruise contro l should
not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traf­
fic, on winding roads and when road condi­ tions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel,
heavy rain and hydroplaning) -you could
have an accident .
- Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driv ing in turning lanes, highway exits
or in construction zones .

-Please note that unconsciously "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal prevents the cruise control from braking. This is due
to the control system be ing overr idden by
the driver 's acceleration .
-If there is a b rake system malfunction such
as overheating when the speed warning sys­
tem is switched on, the braking function in
the system will be deactivated. The remain­
ing speed warni ng system fu nctions will re­
ma in active, as long as the~ (USA mod ­
els) /. (Canada models) indicator light is

Audi adaptive cruise control
Description
Applies to veh icles: w ith Audi adaptive cruise control
F ig. 80 Det ect ion rang e
The adaptive cruise control system is a combina­
tion of speed and distance reg ulation . It assists
the driver by bot h reg ulating the speed and
maintaining a distance to the object ahead, w ith -
96
in the abilities o f the system. If the system de­
tects an object, adaptive cruise control can brake
and acce lerate your veh icle . This makes driving
more comfortab le both on long stretches of
highway and in stop-and-go traffic.
What can adaptive crui se con trol do?
The adaptive cruise contro l system uses radar
and a video camera. The radar is subject to desig ­
nated system limits
q page 97.
On open roads with no traffic, it funct ions like a
cruise control system . The stored speed is main­
tained. When approaching an object ahead and
the system detects it, the adapt ive cruise control
system automatically brakes to match that ob­
ject's speed and then maintains the stored dis­
tance. As soon as the system does not detect an object ahead, adapt ive cr uise control accelerates
up to the sto red speed .
Within the limits of the system, adaptive cruise
control can brake in stop -and -go traffic until the
vehicle is stat iona ry and then beg in driving again
under certain cond itions
q page 100, Driving in
stop-and-go traff ic.
Which functions can be controlled?
When you swi tch adapt ive cru ise control on, you
can set the current speed as the "control speed"
q page 98, Switching on/off .
When driving, yo u can stop cruise contro l
q page 100 or change the speed q page 100 at
any time .
You can also adjust the following sett ings:

General information
Applies to vehicles: with Audi adaptive cruise control and Audi
pre sense front
Fig. 81 Front of vehicle: sensor
The general information applies to adaptive
cruise control* and pre sense front*
r::!>page 103.
The radar sensor area r::!> fig. Bl must not be cov­
ered with stickers, deposits or any other obstruc­
tions as it may impair the function of the adap­
tive cruise control and the pre sense front. For in­
formation on cleaning, refer tor::!>
page 235. The
same applies for any modifications made in the
front area .
The function of the adaptive cruise control sys­ tem and pre sense front is limited in some condi­
tions :
- Objects can only be detected when they are
within the sensor ranger::!>
page 96, fig. 80.
-The system has a limited ability to detect ob­
jects that are a short distance ahead, off to the side of your vehicle or moving into your lane.
- Objects that are difficult to detect such as mo­
torcycles, vehicles with high ground clearance
or an overhanging load are detected late or not
detected at all.
- When driving through curves
r=> page 98.
-With stationary objects r::!> page 98.
A WARNING
Always pay attention to traffic when adaptive
cruise control is switched on and the pre
sense front is active
r::!> page 103. As the d riv­
er, you are still responsible for starting and
for maintaining speed and distance to other objects. The pre sense front is used to assist
you. The driver must always take action to
Assist
avoid a collision. The driver is always responsi­
ble for braking at the correct time.
- Using adaptive cruise control incorrectly can
cause collisions, other accidents and serious
injuries.
- For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cruise control when driving on roads with
many curves, when the road surface is in
poor condition and/or in bad weather (such
as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydroplan­
ing). Using the system under these condi­
tions could result in a collision.
- Switch adaptive cruise control off tempora­
rily when driving in turning lanes, on ex­
pressway exits or in construction zones. This
prevents the vehicle from accelerating to
the set speed when in these situations.
- The adaptive cruise control system will not
brake by itself if you put your foot on the ac­
celerator pedal. Doing so can override the
speed and distance regulation.
- When approaching stationary objects such
as stopped traffic, adaptive cruise control
will not respond and pre sense front will
have limited function.
- The adaptive cruise control system and pre
sense front do not react to people, animals,
objects crossing the road or oncoming ob­
jects.
- The function of the radar sensors can be af­
fected by reflective objects such as guard
rails, the entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain or
ice.
- Always maintain enough distance from
vehicles ahead so that you can still brake
your vehicle safely. The adaptive cruise con­ trol cannot safely slow your vehicle or brake it to a stop if you are driving too close be­
hind a vehicle. Please note that the auto­
matic braking function cannot brake sud­
denly or apply the brakes fully under these
conditions.
- To reduce the risk of unintended actions,
switch the ACC off when you are not actively
using it.

Assist
(D Note
The sensor can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. The adaptive cruise control and
pre sense front may become impaired as a re­
sult. Have an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility check their func­
tion.
In curves
Applies to vehicles: with Audi adaptive cruise control and Aud i
pre sense front
Fig. 82 Example: driving into a curve
When driving into a curve~ fig. 82 and out of a

Adaptive cruise control
The adaptive cruise control system only reacts to
objects that are moving or that the system has
already detected as moving. For example, it can
react when a vehicle that has already been de­
tected @turns or changes lanes, but adapt ive
cruise control does not react to a stationary vehi­
cle @. Press the brake pedal to slow your vehicle
down!
