The On-board Handbook contains important information, tips, suggestions and warnings. Please note that this On-board Handbook is not a substitute for the printed Owner's Manual. You should only use the On-board Handbook when the situation on the road allows you to do so safely.

This On-board Handbook describes the equipment available for the Audi Q5 at the time of going to print. Some of the equipment described here will not be available until a later date, or may only be available in certain markets.

Some sections of this On-board Handbook do not apply to all Audi Q5s. If this is the case, a text at the start of the section indicates which Audi Q5s it applies to, e.g. "Applies to Audi Q5s: with auxiliary heater". This optional equipment is also marked with an asterisk "*".

Illustrations are intended as a general guide, and may vary from the equipment fitted in your Audi Q5 in some details.

The Contents list shows all the items described in this manual in the order in which they appear. You can call up an alphabetical index on the start page.

All references to positions such as "left", "right", "front" or "rear" are given as seen facing in the direction of travel.
