Audi Homelink ® Uni versal Transm itter*
-� ....... ..
The Audi Homelink ® Un iversal Transm itter
is located on the driver's side sun visor.
This innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current transmit­
ters used to activate garage doors, entry
door locks, estate gates, security systems,
and home or office lighting.
The Homelink ® Universal Transmitter is ca­
pable of operating up to three separately
controlled devices. The
Homelink ® operates off the vehicles
battery and charging system and has non­
volatile memory. If the battery dies or is dis­
connected, Homelink® will retain all pro­
gramming.
�W ARNING
When programming the Audi
Homelink® Universal Transm itter,
you may be operating a garage
door or estate gate. Make sure that
people and objects are out of the
way to prevent potential harm or
damage. Note
Do not
use this Audi Homelink®
Universal Transmitter with any ga­
rage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety stan­
dards. This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before
April 1, 1982.
A garage door opener which cannot
detect an object, signaling the door
to stop and reverse does not meet
current federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener without
these features increases risk of seri­
ous injury or death.

---------------------CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMENT
Mobile telephones and CB radios
Mobile telephones or CB radios
should not be used in the vehicle un­
less a separate outside antenna is
installed.
If you use a mobile telephone or CB radio in­
side the vehicle without an outside antenna,
the high frequency energy (resonance ef­
fect) emitted inside the vehicle can cause
malfunctions in the vehicle's electronic sys-
tem.
Moreover the unit achieves maximum
pick-up only if an outside antenna is
installed. �W
ARNING
Using a mobile telephone or CB
radio inside the vehicle without
having a separate outside antenna
could be dangerous to your health
due to the high frequency energy
emitted!
In addition, an outside antenna can increase
the reception range of your equipment. Note
Always heed the instructions of mo­
bile telephones and CB radios.
�W ARNING
Always keep your attention on the
road and traffi c!

Washing
The best protection against environmental
influences is frequent washing and waxing.
How often this is required depends on how
much the vehicle is used, where it is parked
(garage, in the open under trees, etc.), the
seasonal and weather conditions as well as
env ironmental influences. The longer bird
droppings, insects, tree resin, road and in­
dustrial grime, tar, soot, road salt and other
materials remain on the vehicle paint, the
more lasting their destructive effect will be.
High temperatures, as from strong sunlight,
intensify the corrosive effect.
Under certain circumstances, weekly
washing may be necessary. Under other
conditions. a monthly washing and waxing
may be adequate.
After the winter, the underside of the ve­
hicle should be thoroughly washed. Automatic
car wash
The vehicle paint is so durable that the ve­
hicle can normally be washed without prob­
lems in an automatic car wash. However,
the effect on the paint depends to a large
extent on the design of the facil ity, the filter­
ing of the wash water, the type of wash and
care material, etc. If the paint has a dull ap­
pearance after going through the car wash
or is scratched, bring this to the atte ntion of
the operator immediately. If necessary use
a different car wash.
Notes
• Before going through a car wash, be sure
to take the usual precautions such as clos­
ing the windows and sunroof*.
• You don't have to remove the factory­
installed radio antenna. However, if your ve­
hicle is equipped with the Navigation Sys­
tem*, then you must remove the antenna.
• If you have installed additional accesso­
ries on the vehicle -such as spoilers, roof
rack, etc. -it is best to ask the car wash op­
erator if these should be remov ed. VE
HICLE CARE
Washing the vehicle by hand
� In the intsi'Sst of the environ­
� msnt, the vehicle should only be
washed in special wash bays.
First soften the dirt with plenty of water and
rinse off as well as possible.
Then clean the vehicle with a soft sponge,
glove or brush starting on the roof and work­
ing down using only slight pressure. Special
car wash soap should only be used for very
persistent dirt.
Rinse the sponge or glove thoroughly and
oft en.
Clean wheels .and sill panels last, using a dif­
ferent sponge if pos sible.
After washing the vehicle, rinse thoroughly
with water and wipe it off.

f4 WARNING
continued
• Never charge a frozen battery. It
may explode because of gas
trapped in the ice. Allow a frozen
battery to thaw out first.
• Do not reuse batteries which
have fr ozen. The baUery housing
may have cracked and weakened
when the battery froze.
Always heed all WA RNINGS
on page 232.
• Battery acid that may spill during
charging should be washed off with
a solution of warm water and baking
soda to neutralize the acid.
• Never use a fast charger as a boo­
ster to start the engine. This will se­
riously damage sensitive electronic
components, such as control units,
relays, radio, etc., as well as the bat­
tery charger. Slow
battery charging
�W ARNING
Heed all WA RNINGS and follow in­
structions that come with your
battery charger.
• Before charging the battery, switch off
the ignition and all electrical consumers.
• Make sure the area is well ventilated
when you charge the battery.
• It is not necessary to remove the battery
from the engine compartment, and it is also
not necessary to disconn ect the cables.
• Make sure the electrolyte level in each
cell is between the .. min" and "max ..
marks. If the fluid level is below the "min"
mark, let your authorized Audi Dealer cor­
rect the condition. VE
HICLE CARE
• Conne ct charger cables.
Charger cables must be connected
POSITIVE (+ ) to POSITIVE (+ ) and
NEGATIVE (-) to NEGATIVE (-).
�W ARNING
To reduce the danger of explosion,
never connect or disconnect char­
ger cables while the charger is op­
erating.
• Switch on charger.
• Charging rate not over 6 amps.
Normal ly, a battery should be charged at no
more than 1 0 percent of its rated capacity.
For example, a charging current of 4.5 amps
would be used on a battery rated at 45 Ah.
Rated capacity of the battery in your vehicle
is listed on the battery housing.
• After charging, first turn off the charger
and then disconnect charger cables. g Always heed all WARNINGS
� on page 232.

VEHICLE CA
RE----------------------------------------------------
When disconnecting and
connecting the battery ...
When you disconnect the vehicle battery
please note the following:
- some data stored in the driver informa-
tion system are erased,
- the clock goes out,
- the factory installed radio locks up,
- the Engine management system,
- the one-touch-u p and one-touch-down
functions of the power windows no lon­
ger work,
- all stored seat positions in the memory*
are erased.
Af teryou reconnect the battery, you must
reset the clock. � page 118.
You also have to reset the Engine manage­
ment system -see "Starter Switch "
�pa ge 113.
You also have to reset the one-touch-up and
one-touch�down feature on power win­
dows -see "Power windows "
�p age 71.
248 You
have also reset the seat memory* -see
"Seats"
� page 81.
The radio must be re-coded with the correct
radio code - see your radio Operating In­
structions.
Replacement battery
A replacement battery must have the same
specifications and dimensions as the origi­
nal equipment battery. Specifications are
listed on the battery housing.
When installing the battery, make sure the
ignition and all electrical consumers are
switched off.
r.Gb. Because of the problem of �proper di
sposal of a battery, we
recommend that you have your au­
thorized Audi Dealer change the
battery for you. Batteries contain
sulfuric acid and lead and must al­
ways be disp osed of properly ob­
serving all environmental regula­
tions. Air
cleaner
A dir ty air cleaner element not only reduces
the engine output and increases fuel con­
sumption considerably but can also cause
premature engine wear.
Normally, it is not necessary to service the
air cleaner more often than recommended
in the Maintenance booklet. If the vehicle is
driven on very dusty roads, the air cleaner
must be serviced more frequently, even dai­
ly.
If your air cleaner element must be
changed mora frequently, we rec­
ommend that you have the air clean­
er serviced by your authorized Audi
Dealer or a qualified workshop.
The air cleaner element must never
be cleaned or soaked with gasoline,
cleaning solvents or oil.
