For the sake of the environment
If the fluid has to be drained out of the brake system, use an appro-
priate container to catch the used brake fluid and dispose of it in the
proper manner.BatteryGeneral notes
All work on batteries requires specialist knowledge.The battery is virtually maintenance-free . It is checked as part of the
Inspection Service.
We recommend that you replace a battery once it is older than 5
years.
When an airbag is triggered, the battery will, under certain circum-
stances, be disconnected from the on-board power supply for
safety reasons ⇒ in “General notes on airbag system” on
page 176 .
Disconnecting the battery
If the battery is disconnected, some of the vehicle's functions will
become inoperative (e.g. electric windows). These functions will
require resetting after the battery is reconnected. For this reason,
the battery should only be disconnected from the vehicle's electrical
system when absolutely necessary.
If the vehicle is not used for long periods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of several days or weeks,
the power management will gradually shut off the on-board
systems one by one, or reduce the amount of current they are using.
This limits the amount of power consumed and helps to ensure reli-
able starting even after a long period ⇒page 202 . Please note that certain convenience features, such as the Audi
advanced key*, the remote control key or the electrical seat adjust-
ment may not be available when yo
u unlock the vehicle. These func-
tions will be restored when you switch on the ignition and start the
engine.
Winter conditions
At low temperatures the battery has to work very hard. It also
provides only a fraction of the starting power it has at normal
temperatures.
For this reason, we recommend having the battery checked and
charged if necessary before the start of winter ⇒page 241 .
WARNING
•
All work on batteries requires sp ecialist knowledge. For queries
regarding the vehicle battery please contact an Audi dealership or
other qualified workshop (risk of chemical burns / risk of explo-
sion).
•
The battery must not be opened. Do not attempt to make any
changes to the electrolyte level of the battery. Otherwise, there is
a risk that a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen gas can accumulate
and cause an explosion.Note
If the vehicle is to be left standing for a period of several weeks at
extremely low temperatures, the battery should be removed from
the vehicle. This ensures that it cannot “freeze up” and be
damaged.

Accessories and modifications to the vehicle
250Accessories and modificat ions to the vehicleAccessories and replacement partsAlways ask your dealer or specialist retailer for advice
before purchasing accessories and replacement parts.Your car is designed to offer a high standard of active and passive
safety. For this reason, we recommend that you ask an Audi dealer
for advice before fitting accessories or replacement parts. Audi
dealers have the latest information from the manufacturer and can
recommend accessories and replacement parts which are suitable
for your requirements. They can also answer any questions you
might have regarding official regulations.
We recommend you to use only Audi accessories and Audi Genuine
parts
®. Audi has tested these parts and accessories for suitability,
reliability and safety. Audi dealers have the necessary experience
and facilities to ensure that the parts are installed properly.
Although the market is constantly scrutinised, Audi cannot judge or
assume responsibility for the reliability, safety and suitability of
non-genuine products - even though in some instances, these parts
may have been approved by an officially recognised technical
testing authority or accompanied by an official approval certificate.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a direct effect on the vehicle
and/or the way it is driven (e.g. cruise control system or electroni-
cally-controlled suspension) must be approved for use in your
vehicle and bear the e mark (the European Union's approval
symbol).
If any additional electrical components are fitted which do not serve
to control the vehicle itself (for inst ance a refrigerator box, laptop or
ventilator fan, etc.), these must bear the CE mark (manufacturer
conformity declaration in the European Union).
WARNING
Never attach accessories (such as cup holders or telephone
brackets) to the surfaces coverin g the airbag units or the areas
around the airbags: this could cause injury if the airbag is
triggered.ModificationsModifications must always be carried out according to
our specifications.Unauthorised modifications to the electronic components or soft-
ware in the vehicle may cause malfunctioning. Due to the way the
electronic components are linked together in networks, other
systems may be affected by the faults. This can seriously impair
safety, lead to excessive wear of components, and also invalidate
the type approval for your vehicle.
You will appreciate that your Audi dealer cannot be held liable for
any damage caused by modifications and/or work performed incor-
rectly.
We recommend that all work should be performed by an Audi work-
shop using Audi Genuine parts
®.
WARNING
Incorrectly performed modifications or other work on your vehicle
can lead to malfunctions and cause accidents.

276BulbsChanging bulbs
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of practical
skill.You can change the following bulbs for exterior lights yourself:•
Halogen headlights: Bulb for dipped headlights
•
Halogen headlights: Bulb for main beam headlights
•
Halogen headlights: Bulb for side lights
•
Xenon headlights*: Bulb for turn signals
•
Bulb for fog light

The following bulbs should only be changed by a qualified work-

•
Xenon headlights*: Light source for daytime running
lights/parki ng lights

As a rule, you require a certain degree of practical skill to change
defective bulbs. This applies in particular to those bulbs which are
only accessible from the engine compartment.
If in doubt, we recommend that you have defective bulbs changed
by a qualified workshop or qualified mechanic.
If you do decide to change bulbs in the engine compartment your-
self, be aware of the safety risks involved ⇒page 231 ⇒ .
Types of bulbs
You must only replace a bulb with a bulb of the same type. Informa-
tion regarding e.g. the wattage can be found on the base of the
bulb.
