Be sure to check the tire pressure
as quickly as possible after you
install a wheal that is fitted with
new tires.
If you notice while changing a tire
that the wheal bolts are corroded
and difficult to turn, then they
should be replaced before you
check the tightening torque.
Until then, drive with extra care and
at reduced speeds. m
WARNING
• If you are going to equip your ve­
hicle with tires or rims which dif­
fer from those which were factory
installed, then be sure to read the
information on page 257.
• Always store damaged wheel,
jack and tools securely in luggage

Fuses
A problem in the electrical system may be
caused by a blown fuse.
Fuses are arranged in a centra lized unit. The
unit is located behind a cover at the end of
the dash board on the left hand side.
The crank handle for manual operation of
the electric sunroof* is cli pped on the inside
of the fuse box cover.
Two spare fuses are provided in the row of
fuses on the right.
It is a good idea to keep a supply of spare
fuses on hand. They are available from your
Audi Dealer.
274 Replacing
a fuse
� WARNING
A fuse with too high amperage
could damage the electrical part
and cause a fire. Do not use a fuse
with a higher amperage than the
fuse being replaced. ·
• To avoid damaging the electrical
system. turn off all lights and acces­
sories and remove the ignition key
before replacing a fuse.
• Open the cover of the centralized unit by
inserting a screwdriver in the slot of the
cover and pry it off.
• Check the fuse listing on the next pages
to find out which fuse belongs to the com­
ponent that has failed.
• Remove blown fuse with the plastic clip
prov ided. The clip is located on the holder in
the fuse box. •
Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the
same amperage. You can recognize the
blown fuse by the burnt metal strip.
• Reinstall the fuse box cover.
Notes
• If a fuse blows repeatedly. do not
keep on replacing it. The cause of
the short circuit or overload must be
found. On no account should fuses
be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin
foil or wire) as this may cause seri­
ous damage elsewhere in the electri­
cal circuit or cause fire.
• Some of the equipment listed is found on
certa in models only or may be options.

Replacing bulbs
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 bulb. This applies especially to the
light bulbs in the front of your car which you
can only reach through the engine compart­
ment.
For your safety, we recommend that you
have your authorized Audi Dealer replace
any bulbs for you, since your dealer has nec­
essary tools, the correct bulbs and the ex­
pertise.
g Always heed all WARNINGS
� on page 232. Gas
discharge lamps
(Xenon lights)•
Yo ur vehicle may be equipped with gas dis­
charge lamps. Due to the high elec trical
voltage, have the bulbs exchanged by a
qualified technician.
Headlights with xenon light are identified by
the high voltage sticker(see symbol above).
� WARNING
Only your authorized Audi Dealer
or a qualified workshop should
change the bulbs in gas discharge
lamps (xenon light). Due to the
high voltage, improper handling
can cause serious personal injury. Insta

replacing a radio
f you wish to install a radio or replace the
factory installed radio, please note the fol­
lowing:
• The factory installed radio connectors are
designed for Genuine Audi Radios.
When installing a different radio, difficulties
could arise such as:
- the radio may not fit into the space pro­
vided
- the electrical connections may not be
compat ible
- different connector terminals may be
needed.
• Therefore, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi Dealer install or re­
place the radiO.
They are the most familiar with the techni­
cal features of your vehicle. They also offer
Genuine Audi Radios with the necessary
installation components and instructions.
� WARNING
Improperly installing a radio could
cause a short circuit.
This could result in an electrical
fire.

touch.
• When
connecting jumper
cables, make sure that they cannot
get caught in any moving parts in
the engine compartment. Removing

Lifting
vehicle
Lifting with workshop hoist
and with floor jack
Notes
• The vehicle should never be lifted
or jacked up from underneath the
engine oil pan, the transmission
housing, the front or rear axle or the
body side members. This could lead
to serious damage.
The same lifting points as illus trated on the
next page for the hoist also apply when a
floor jack is used.
e To avoid damage to the under­
body or chassis frame, it is neces­
sary to insert a rubber pad between
the floor jack and the lift points.
• To prevent damaging the shock
absorbers when lifting the vehicle
with a jack or on a hoist, the level
selection must be in the jack mode.
See next page. �W
ARNING
• To reduce the risk of serious in­
jury and vehicle damage, lift the
vehicle only at the special work­
shop hoist and floor jack lift points
illus trated. Failure to lift the ve­
hicle at these points could cause
the vehicle to tilt or fall from a lift
if there is a change in vehicle
weight distribution and balance.
This might happen, for example,
when heavy components such as
the engine block or transmission
are removed.
• When removing such heavy
components, anchor vehicle to
hoist or add correspo nding
weights to maintain the center of
gravity. Otherwise, the vehicle
might tilt or slip oH the hoist,
causing serious damage or person­
al injur y. DO-IT-YOU
RSELF SERVICE
�� WARNING continued
• If you must lift your vehicle with
a floor jack to work underneath,
be sure the vehicle is safely sup­
ported on stands intended for this
purpose.
• Before driving over a workshop
hoist, check that the vehicle weight
does not exceed the permissible lift­
ing capacity of the hoist.
• Before driving over a workshop
hoist, ensure that there is suHicient
clearance between the hoist and
low parts of the vehicle.
