Hill
When
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.

Exterior lighting
Follow
the
legal
regulations
for
lighting
on
your
trailer
that
are
applicable
in
the
country
where
you
are
operating
the
vehicle.
If
necessary,
con-
tact
an
authorized
Audi
dealer
or
authorized
Audi
Service
Facility
for
more
information.
Before
you
start
driving,
check
all
lighting
equip-
ment
on
the
trailer
while
it
is
hitched
to
the
vehi-
cle.
The
headlight
range
control
automatically
ad-
justs
the light
range
of
the
headlights.
When
the
[indicator
light
blinks,
then
the
turn
signals
are
activated
in
trailer
mode.
If
a
turn
sig-
nal
on
the trailer
or
on
the
vehicle
fails
while
in
trailer
mode,
the
indicator
light
will
not
blink
twice
as
fast
to
indicate
this.
Outside
mirrors
Make
sure
that you
can
also
observe
the
traffic
area
behind
the
vehicle
using
the
exterior
mir-
rors,
and
use
additional
exterior
mirrors
if
neces-
sary.
Adjust
the
additional
exterior
mirrors
so
that
you
have
a
sufficient
visibility
behind
the
ve-
hicle.
Follow
the
local
legal
regulations
for
instal-
ling
additional
exterior
mirrors.
Engine
cooling
system
Driving
with
a
trailer
means
a
higher
load
on
the
engine
and
the
cooling
system.
Make
sure
the
cooling
system
contains
enough
coolant.

Engine
coolant
temperature
Pay
attention
specifically
to
the
coolant
tempera-
ture
display
when
there
are
high
outside
temper-
atures,
and
when
driving
on
long
inclines
©
page

Shift
to
a
higher
gear
in
a
timely
man-
ner.
Tires
Set the
tire
pressure
on
your
vehicle
for
a
full
load;
see the
tire
pressure
sticker
>
page
284.
If
necessary,
also
adjust
the
tire
pressure
on
the
trailer
according
to
the
manufacturer's
specifica-
tions.
The
trailer
and
the
vehicle
should
be
equipped
with
winter
tires
when
driving
in
winter
tempera-
tures.
Overrun
brakes
If
your
trailer
is
equipped
with
an
overrun
brake,
it
must
be
correctly
adjusted
and
function
cor-
rectly.
When
using
a
trailer
with
overrun
brakes,
first
brake
gently
then
quickly.
This
reduces
the
risk
of
jerking
while
braking
if
the
trailer
wheels
lock
up.
Constant
braking
causes
the
brakes
to
over-
heat
and
can
substantially
reduce
braking
per-
formance,
increase
braking
distance,
or
cause
complete
failure
of
the
brake
system.
Attachments
retrofitted
on
the
vehicle
may
cause
damage,
especially
on
the
trailer
hitch
ball
head.
In
cases
of
damage,
have
the func-
tion
checked
by an
authorized
Audi
dealer
or
authorized
Audi
Service
Facility.
Block
the
wheels
with
chocks
when
parking
on
inclines
if
the
trailer
is
loaded.
Audi
recommends
having
the
vehicle
in-
spected
between
the
inspection
intervals
if
you
tow
a
trailer
frequently.
Avoid
driving
with
a
trailer
during
the
vehi-
cle
break-in
period.
