Tow Starting/Towing: Towing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 2016 Audi S4, 2016 Audi A4 Quattro, 2016 Audi A4, 2015 Audi S4, and 2015 Audi A4 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Legal regulations concerning towing must be observed.

The driver in the vehicle doing the pulling must use the clutch very gently when driving off and when shifting.

The driver of the vehicle being towed must ensure that the tow rope is always taut.

Without lubricants in the manual transmission and/or automatic transmissions the car may only be towed with raised drive wheels. With engine switched off, the transmission oil pump does not work. Therefore the transmission is not sufficiently lubricated at higher speeds and longer distances.

If normal towing of the vehicle is not possible, the vehicle must be transported with a special transporter or trailer. This also applies to towing distances of over 50 km.

Towing Vehicles with an Automatic Transmission

NOTE:

Selector lever must be in the "N" position.

For longer distances, the front end of the vehicle must be raised.
