Roadside Assistance for Electric Vehicles
In the event roadside assistance is needed, one or more of the following can be provided to you:
Emergency extrication service:
› Audi Roadside Assistance will cover the cost of extricating your vehicle from a ditch, mud, sand or snow, provided it has become disabled in an area immediately adjacent to a regularly travelled road that can be serviced with standard automobile servicing equipment.
Emergency towing¹:
› Complimentary towing will be provided to the nearest authorized Audi dealership or authorized Audi service facility. Audi A3 e-tron® vehicles will be towed to the nearest e-tron or hybrid-certified dealer as applicable.
Flat tire service²:
› If your vehicle has a flat tire, a service operator will attempt to remove it and install a spare tire. If you don’t have a properly inflated spare tire, or if the spare is not safely operable, towing service will be provided per the previously mentioned towing parameters.
Lock-out service³:
› An Audi service operator may be dispatched in an attempt to gain entry into your vehicle to retrieve your keys. Registration papers and personal photo identification may be requested at the scene.
› If you have lost your keys, contact your authorized Audi dealer immediately for further assistance.
Out-of-charge service⁴:
› In cases where no mechanical problem is present and the vehicle is out of charge, the following charging process is applied:
› If the vehicle is 10 miles or less from the nearest charging station, a service operator with a mobile vehicle charger may be dispatched to your location to charge the vehicle with up to 10 miles of range to reach the nearest charging station.
› If the nearest charging station is more than 10 miles away or a service operator with a mobile charger is not readily available, you can elect to have your electric vehicle towed to the closest authorized Audi dealership to utilize its public charging station.
› If you would like to be towed to another destination (e.g., work, home, hotel) that is less than 100 miles from the point of disablement, you can elect to be towed there.
› You are responsible for the cost of any mileage over 100 miles at the predetermined mileage rate.
¹ For security reasons, towing service will not be provided to an unattended vehicle—a licensed driver must accompany the vehicle at the time of service.
² Mounting or dismounting special traction devices such as chains, or repairing a flat tire, are not covered under this program. For vehicles with a tire inflator kit (TIK), you have the option to receive a tow service, or assistance with use of the TIK with a follow-up tow if the TIK doesn’t work.
³ Audi owner is solely responsible for any loss or damage resulting from this entry attempt. If access into your vehicle is unsuccessful, it will be towed to the nearest authorized Audi dealership. The cost for parts and/or labor to produce replacement keys is not included in this service.
⁴ Out-of-charge service is limited to 10 times a year.
In the event service cannot be dispatched to your location or you are located on a state-restricted roadway, you may be reimbursed for your out-of-pocket expenses up to a maximum of $200 for each disablement.¹
