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.
A
retrofitted
trailer
hitch
must
be
installed
ac-
cording
to
the
instructions
provided
by
the
manu-
facturer

ina
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.

You
can
drive up
larger inclines
if
you
are
not
us-
ing
the
maximum
towing
capacity.
The
specified
towing
weights
only
apply
at
eleva-
tions
up
to
3,200
feet
(1,000
m)
above
sea
level.
As
the
elevation
increases,
the
engine
power
de-
creases
due
to
the
decreasing
air
pressure.
This
reduces
the
hill
climbing
ability
and
towing
ca-
pacity. For
every
additional
3,200
feet
(1,000
m),
the
maximum
gross
combined
weight
rating
must
be
reduced
by
approximately
10%.
The
ac-
tual
combined
weight
is
the
combined
weight
of
the
(loaded)
vehicle
and
the
(loaded)
trailer.
Tongue
weight
The
maximum
permitted
tongue
weight
of
the
trailer
drawbar
on
the
trailer
hitch
ball
head
must
not
be
exceeded.
For
driving
safety,
Audi
recommends
always
us-
ing
the
maximum
permitted
tongue
weight,
but
do
not
exceed
this
weight.
Having
the
tongue
weight
too
low affects
the
handling
of
the
vehicle
and
trailer.
You
can
determine
the
tongue
weight
using
a
tongue
weight
scale,
a
bathroom
scale,
or
a
pub-
lic
weigh
station,
for
example.
Audi
recommends.
checking
the
tongue
weight,
especially
when
towing
double
axle
trailers.
If
the
tongue
weight
differs,
it
can
be
adjusted
by
distributing
the
load
in
the
trailer
correctly.
If
the
tongue
weight
meets
the
specifications,
then
the
load
on
the
trailer
should
not
be
changed
anymore.
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
trailer
should
have
the
lightest
possible
load.
—
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

if
possible.

to
the
legal
speed
limits.
Follow
the
legal
regulations
that
are
applicable
in
the
country
where
you
are
operating
the
vehicle.
‘As
the
speed
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.
