CD Note
Never use a fast charger as a booster to
start the engine. This will seriously dam
age sensitive electronic components, such
as control units, relays, radio, etc., as well
as the battery charger.
Battery replacement
The new battery must have the same specifi
cations and dimensions as the original equip
ment battery.
Intelligent energy management in your vehi
cle is responsible for distributing the electri
cal energy throughout your vehicle
c::, page 211. The intelligent energy manage
ment system w ill keep the engine battery
charged bette r then ve hicles w ithout this sys
tem. To ma ke sure t he addi tional e lectrical en
ergy is available once again after you have
changed the battery, we recommend that you
install batteries of the same type and man u
facture only (the same as those installed at
the time your vehicle was delivered). Specifi
cations are listed on the battery housing. Your
author ized Audi dealer must code the battery
i n the energy management system to enable
you to use the energy management functions
correctly after replac ing the bat tery .
If it is not possible to use a battery of this
type, the new battery must have the same ca pac ity, voltage (12 volts), amperage, con
s truction and pl ug seal ing .
When insta lli ng the battery, make sure the ig
ni tion and all e lectr ica l cons umers are turned
off.
(0 Note
Ma ke sure the venti lation hose on the s ide
of the battery is connected, othe rwis e
fumes or battery ac id can leak out.

Bulbs
Replacing bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs
for you .
It is becoming increasingly more and more
difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in
many cases, other parts of the car must first
be removed before you are able to get to the
bu lb . T his appl ies especially to the light bu lbs
in the front of your car which you can on ly
reach through the engine compartment .
Sheet metal and bulb ho lders can have sharp
edges that can cause ser ious cuts, parts must
be correctly taken apart and then p roperly put
back together to help prevent breakage of
parts and long term damage from water that
can enter housings that have not been proper
l y resealed.
F or your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs
for you, since your dealer has the proper tools,
the correct bu lbs and the expertise.
G as disch arge la mp s (Xe no n li ght s)*:
Due to the high electrical vo ltage, have the
bu lbs rep laced by a qualified technician.
H eadlights with Xenon l ight a re identified by
the high voltage sticker.
& WARNING
Changing Xenon lamps without the neces
sary equipment can cause serious personal
injury.
- Bul bs are pressurized and can exp lode
when being changed . Potential risk of in
jury!
- On vehicles equipped with gas discharge
bulbs (Xenon light) * life-threatening in
jur ies can result from improper handling
of the high-voltage portions of such
lamps!
- Only your authorized Aud i dea ler or a
qualified workshop should change the
bulbs in gas discharge lamps. There a re

fied workshop . Ser ious personal injury
may result from improperly perfo rmed
wo rk.
(j) Tips
- If you still prefer to replace the light
bulbs yourself , be aware that the engine
compartment is a hazardous area to

284 Emergency situations
Emergency situations
General
This chapter is intended for trained emer
gency crews and working personnel who
have the necessary tools and equipment to perform these operations.
Starting by pushing or
towing
Q;) Note
Vehicles with an automatic transmission
cannot be started by pushing or towing.
Starting with jumper
cables
If necessary , the engine can be started by
connecting it to the battery of another vehi
cle.
If the engine should fail to start because of a
discharged or weak battery, the battery can be
connected to the battery of
another vehicle,
using a
pair of jumper cables to start the en
gine .
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of sufficiently
large cross section to carry the starter current
safely. Refer to the manufacturer's specifica
ti ons.
Use only jumper cables with
insulated termi
nal clamps which are distinctly marked :
plus(+) cable in most cases colored red
minus (-) cable
in most cases colored black .
A WARNING
Batteries contain electricity, acid, and gas.
Any of these can cause very serious or fatal
injury. Follow the instructions below for
safe handling of your vehicle's battery.
- Always shield your eyes and avoid lean
ing over the battery whenever possible. -
A discharged battery can freeze at tem
peratures just below
32 °F (0 °(). Before
connecting a jumper cable, you must
thaw the frozen battery completely, oth
erwise it could explode.
- Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes
or skin . Flush any contacted area with
water immediately .
- Improper use of a booster battery to
start a vehicle may cause an explosion.
- Vehicle batteries generate explosive gas
es . Keep sparks, flame and lighted ciga
rettes away from batteries .
- Do not try to jump start any vehicle with
a low acid level in the battery .
- The voltage of the booster battery must
also have a 12-Volt rating. The capacity
(Ah) of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged bat
tery . Use of batteries of different voltage
or substantially different "Ah" rating
may cause an explosion and personal in
jury.
- Never charge a frozen battery. Gas trap
ped in the ice may cause an explosion.
- Never charge or use a battery that has
been frozen. The battery case may have
be weakened.
- Use of batteries of different voltage or
substantially different capacity (Ah) rat
ing may cause an explosion and injury.
The capacity (Ah) of the booster battery
should not be lower than that of the dis
charged battery.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS¢
page 230, Engine com
partment.
@ Note
- Applying a higher voltage booster bat
tery will cause expensive damage to sen
sitive electronic components, such as
control units, relays, radio, etc.
- There must be no electrical contact be
tween the vehicles as otherwise current
could already start to flow as soon as the
positive(+) terminals are connected. ..,.
Page 287 of 316

@ Tips
-The discharged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle's electrical sys
tem. When jump start ing or charging the
battery, never connect the negative
ground cable to the battery negative
post because the battery manager sys
tem must be able to detect the battery's
state of cha rge . A lways connect the neg
ative g round cab le to the negative
gro und post o f the battery manage r con
trol uni t.
Use of jumper cables
Make sure to connect the jumper cobl e
clomps in exactly the order describ ed b elow!
