Driving
with
a
trailer
General
information
Your
vehicle
is
primarily
intended
for
transport-
ing
people
and
luggage.
However,
if
you
drive
with
a
trailer,
follow
the
technical
requirements,
the
operation
and
driving
tips,
and
the
legal
reg-
ulations.
Driving
with
a
trailer
affects
the
vehicle's
energy
usage,
performance,
and
wear.
It
also
requires
greater
concentration
from
the
driver.
A
retrofitted
trailer
hitch
must
be
installed
ac-
cording
to
the
instructions
provided
by
the
manu-
facturer
page
118.
Do
not
transport
any
people
in
a
trailer
due
to
the
risk
of
fatal
injury.
Only
use
a
ball
hitch
that
is
approved
for
your
vehicle.
Using
a
ball
hitch
that
is
not
approved
for
your
vehicle
can
lead
to
issues
such
as
unstable
driving
behavior
or
uncou-
pling
of
the
trailer
and
increase
the
risk
of
an
accident.
If
you
have
questions,
see
an
authorized
Audi
dealer
or
authorized
Audi
Service
Facility.

instructions

can
only
be
operated
with
class
1
or

Load
distribution
Poor
cargo
load
and
distribution
can
negatively
impact
vehicle
handling.
Load
the
vehicle
and
trailer
based
on
the
following
criteria
as
much
as
possible:
Store
objects
in
the
vehicle
luggage
compart-
ment,
if
possible.
The
vehicle
should always
carry
the
heaviest possible
load
and
the

should
have
the
lightest
possible
load.
116
Distribute
the
load
in
the
trailer
so
that
the
heavy
objects
are
as
close
to
the
axle
as
possi-
ble.
Secure
objects
so
that they
do
not
slide.
Utilize
the
maximum
permitted
tongue
weight
if
possible.

the
legal
speed
limits.
Follow
the
legal
regulations
that

increases,
the
driving
stability
of
the
vehicle
and
trailer
decreases.
Therefore
you
should
not
exceed
the
maximum
legal
speed
lim-
it
when
there
are
unfavorable
road,
weather,
and/or
wind
conditions.
This
especially
applies
when
driving
downhill.
Hill

you
start
driving
uphill
or
downhill,
the
ve-
hicle
and
trailer
may
tilt
or
sway
sooner
than
when
driving
on
a
level
surface.
If
small
swaying
movements
have
already occurred,
you
can
stabi-
lize
the
trailer
by
firmly
braking
immediately.
Never
attempt
to
straighten
out
the
vehicle
and
trailer
by
accelerating.
