Tow Starting/Towing: Towing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi SQ5, 2017 Audi Q5, 2016 Audi SQ5, 2016 Audi Q5, and 2015 Audi SQ5. 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 of the towing vehicle must engage the clutch very gently when moving off and changing gear.

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.

When towing vehicles with automatic transmission, observe the following:

NOTE:

Selector lever must be in the "N" position.

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