Intelligent
Technology
All wheel
drive
(quattro)
Applies to vehicles:
with
all wheel drive
In all wheel drive, all four wheels are powered.
General information
In all
whee
l
dr ive,
t
he dr iving
power is
divided
be-
tween all four whee
ls.
This happens
automatical-
ly
depending on your driving
behavior
as well as
the current road conditions
.
Refer
to
¢
page 123,
Electronic stabilization control (ESC).
The all
wheel drive concept is designed
for
high
engine power. Your vehicle
is
exceptionally
pow-
erfu
l
and has excellent
driving
characteristics
both under normal driving conditions and on
snow and ice. Always read and follow safety pre-
cautions
q
,&
.
Winter tires
By using all wheel drive, your vehicle has good
forward motion with standard tires in winter con-
ditions. However, in winter we recommend using
winter or all season tires on all four wheels, be-
cause this will improve the braking effect
.
Snow chains
If there are snow chain laws, snow chains must
also be used on vehicles with all wheel drive
q
page 230,
Snow
chains.
Replacing tires
For
vehicles with
all
wheel drive, only wheels
with
the same
rolling
circum
f
erence should be used.
Avoid
wheels with
different
tread
depths
q
page 221.
Offroad
vehicle?
Your
Audi
is
not an
offroad vehicle
- there
is
not
enough ground
clearance. For
this reason,
avoid
difficult terra
in.

WARNING

your driving style to the current road and
traffic cond itions
.
Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks.
