General Information

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2015 Audi S7, 2015 Audi RS 7, 2015 Audi A7 Quattro, 2014 Audi S7, and 2014 Audi RS 7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Preparation:

NOTE:

Both drivers must be familiar with towing procedures. Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to tow start or tow.

Using a tow bar is preferred.

If using a tow rope: The rope should be able to stretch to reduce the risk of damage to both vehicles. Therefore only ropes of synthetic material or rope from similarly flexible material should be used.

Tow-cable or bars should be attached at above mentioned points only.

While tow starting/towing:

NOTE:

Both vehicles must have the emergency flasher switched on - if necessary observe any other regulations.

The ignition must be switched on, so that the steering wheel is not locked and the turn signals, horn, windshield wipers, and windshield washer system can be operated.

Supported vehicle systems like steering or braking move with considerable difficulty when the engine is switched off

Avoid excessive towing effort and do not jerk. Otherwise there is a risk of the attachments overloading and becoming damaged.
