Driving
— Only drive on inclines that your vehicle is de-
signed to handle. Do not exceed the hill
climbing ability of your vehicle. Your vehicle
could tip or slide.
— Do not drive at an angle on steep inclines
and hills. If your vehicle is about to tip, you
must immediately start steering in the di-
rection of the downward slope to reduce the
risk of an accident.
— Always be ready to brake when using the hill
descent control function.
Offroad driving
Your vehicle is not an offroad vehicle. Note the
following points when driving offroad:
~ Drive stowly and carefully.
~To reduce the risk of underbody damage, pay
attention to the vehicle's ground clearance and
drive across raised areas of the ground with the
wheels on one side of the vehicle, instead of al-
lowing the center of the vehicle to pass over the
raised areas.
~To reduce the risk of becoming stuck, drive
through sandy or swampy areas at a steady
speed and without stopping, if possible.
If necessary, use the following functions:
~ Audi drive select* offroad mode = page 107
-Hill hold assist* 2 page 105
~ Raising the vehicle ® page 108
— Limit ESC page 117
Only drive in terrain that is suitable for the ve-
hicle and your driving ability.
Avoid actions that are damaging to the envi-
ronment. Show respect for the natural envi-
ronment and remain on marked routes.

and stones falling off your vehicle can affect,
other road users.
Driving through water
If you must drive through water, follow these in-
structions:
— Check the stability of the ground, the current,
and the water depth. If the ground is unstable,
there is a strong current, or there are waves,
the water must only reach up to the lower edge
of the body at the most.
~ Drive carefully and no faster than at walking
speeds to prevent the front of the vehicle from
creating waves, because they could splash
above the lower edge of the body. Oncoming
vehicles could also create waves.
— Do not stop the vehicle while in the water.
— Do not drive in reverse.
Do not switch off the drive system.
After driving through water, press the brake
pedal
carefully to dry the brakes so that the
full braking effect will be restored.
Vehicle components such as the motor, drive
system, suspension, or electrical system can
be severely damaged by driving through wa-
ter.
If possible, avoid driving through salt water
because it increases the risk of corrosion. Use
fresh water to clean any vehicle components
that come into contact with salt water.
