General

power
is
div ided
be-
tween
all

.
This happens
automatical-
ly
depending on

ll
as

page 159,

is
designed for high

erfu
l
and has excellent driving characteristics
both under normal driving conditions and on
snow and

cautions
c>
,&..
Winter tires
By using all wheel drive, your vehicle has good
forward motion with standard tires
in
winter con-
ditions.
However,
in w inter we recommend using
winter or all season tires on all four wheels, be-
cause this will improve the broking effect.
Snow chains
If there are snow chain laws, snow chains must
also be used on vehicles w ith all wheel dr ive
c>
page 269, Snow chains.
Replacing tires
For
vehicles with
all
wheel drive, only wheels with
the same
rolling
circumference should be
used.
Avoid
whee ls with different tread depths
c>poge 260.
Offroad
vehicle?
Your
Audi
is
not
an
offroad vehicle -
there
is not
enough ground clearance. For this reason, avoid
difficu lt terrain
.
Also see<=) page 302.
A
WARNING

-
Also, in veh icles with all whee
l
drive, adapt
your driving style to the current
road
and
traffic cond itions. Do not
let
the
increased
safety prov ided tempt you into taking risks.
