Audi A3 2024 - Fuses and Bulbs Management; Replacing Vehicle Fuses

Emergency assistance
— Switch Audi pre sense* off © page 143 when
loading the vehicle onto a vehicle carrier,
train, ship, or other type of transportation,
‘or when towing the vehicle. This can prevent
an undesired intervention from the pre
sense* system.
— Follow the local legal regulations for tow-
ing.
Read and follow the important information un-
der © page 275.
Preparations
» Only secure the towing cable or tow bar at the
designated towing loops + page 276,
= page 277.
» Make sure the towing cable is not twisted. Oth-
erwise it could disconnect from the towing loop
while towing.
» Switch the emergency flashers on in both
vehicles page 55. However, do not do this if it
prohibited by law.
Towing vehicle (front)
» Only start to drive when the towing cable is
taut.
» Press the brake pedal very carefully.
» Avoid sudden braking or driving maneuvers.
Vehicle being towed (rear)
» Make sure the ignition is switched on so that
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 102.
» Select the “N” selector lever position.
» Make sure the towing cable is always taut.
276
— Never tow a vehicle using a tow bar or tow-
ing cable if the vehicle does not have electri-
cal power.

towed, stop towing the vehicle immediately
and consult an authorized Audi dealer or
qualified repair facility.
