Certain restrictions must be observed when towing your Audi Q5.
Please observe the notes Link.
The Audi Q5 can be towed with a towbar or towrope in the normal way, with all four wheels on the ground. When doing so, please note the following points:
- Release the parking brake Link.
- Make sure the selector lever is in the N position.
- The Audi Q5 must not be towed faster than 50 km/h.
- The Audi Q5 must not be towed further than 50 km. The reason for this is: when the engine is not running, the gearbox oil pump does not work and the gearbox is not adequately lubricated for higher speeds or longer distances.
The Audi Q5 must not be towed with the wheels lifted at either the front or rear.
Note
- If it is not possible to tow the Audi Q5 as described above, or if it has to be towed further than 50 km, it must be transported on a special car transporter or trailer.
- It is not possible to move the selector lever out of position P if the electrical power supply fails. Before the Audi Q5 can be recovered/manoeuvered you must manually release the selector lever Link.
