My SQ5 is on its way from the port (Houston to Dallas), and was wondering if there was a way to see the owners manual before I pick it up. Anyone know of an electronic version of the manual I might be able to look at?

Old story, officially owner's manual in PDF or electronic form for Q5 or SQ5 not exist

I dug and dug and searched & searched but I couldn't find one. BTW, it's not an SQ5 manual, it includes all the Q5 models too.

Hang tough, it'll be there soon.

It would be nice it it was but Audi does not publish manuals in PDF form. There are three manuals and hundreds of pages so no one is inclined to scan them on their own, not to mention publishing online would be a copyright infringement.

This might help to tide you over for awhile:

Thanks for info... We are going on an extended road trip (3,000+ miles) next week, and I wanted to review the break in section to see if a long highway trip was appropriate for the break in period.

Will try to be patient... :-)

The highway trip/break in has been discussed but the main point is to not cruise at a constant engine speed. As long as you move through the gears at your road speed, you should be fine.

It not a print image, but a collection of html screens that European Q5 owners receive. Go to this link:

Thanks for linking to that older post.

Where in the PDF's does it contain the information for break-in?

Could not find it after looking for 20min..

It's really pretty simple. In my manual it states:

For first 600 miles: do not use full throttle; keep to 2/3 of max RPM; avoid high engine speeds
From 600 to 1000 miles: speeds can gradually increased to the maximum engine speed
Tires: if on new tires, drive carefully for the first 350 miles
Brake pads: new pads will not have full braking effect for first 250 miles; need to be "burnished" (bedded in) before they have optimal grab. Avoid sudden hard braking during the break in period

Also, as suggested, avoid constant highway speeds for long periods of time. Best to mix in non-interstate roads for the first few hundred miles.

That's pretty much it.
