�W ARNING
• The engine compartment of any
motor vehicle is a potentially haz
ardous area. Before you check any
thing in the engine compartment,
stop the engine and let it cool
down. Always exercise extreme
caution when working under the
engine hood. Heed all of the
WA RNINGS on page 232.
• To reduce the risk of being
burned, never open the hood if you
see or hear steam or coolant es
caping from the engine compart
ment. Wait until no steam or cool
ant can be seen or heard before
carefully opening the hood.
• Never touch the radiator fan.
The auxiliary fan is temperature
controlled and can switch on sud
denly.

WARNING continued
• Reduce the risk of scalding from
hot coolant by following these
steps:
If the coolant reservoir cap must
be removed. wait until the en
gine has cooled down.
- Protect face, hands. and arms
from escaping fluid and steam
by cov ering the cap with a large.
thick rag.
Tu rn the cap slowly and very
carefully in a counter-clockwise
direction while applying light.
downward pressure on the top
of the cap.
- To help avoid being burned. do
not spill antifreeze or coolant on
the exhaust system or hot en
gine parts. Under some condi·
tions. the ethylene glycol in en·
gine coolant can catch fire. •
If a visual check shows the coolant level
and the V-belt normal, and the warning light
still does not go out, do not continue
driving. See your authorized Audi Dealer.
• If the coolant level and the V-belt are nor
mal, the malfunc tion may be in the auxiliary
radiator fan. You can continue driving to the
nearest authorized Audi Dealer. The wind
from the moving vehicle and the main radia
tor fan driven by the V-belt will be enough to
keep the angine cool. However, avoid idling
for a long time or driving very slowly.
If the V-belt is torn, the main radiator fan, the
power steering and the gener ator will also
not work.
Obtain expert assistance.
Refer to "Coolant temperature gauge" on
page 118 for detai ls.

WARNING continued
e Do not clean the underside of
the chassis, fenders. wheel cov

without protecting your hands and
arms. You may cut yourself on
sharp-edged metal parts.
• Moisture and ice on brakes may
affect braking efficiency. Test the
brakes carefully after each vehicle
wash.
The engine compartment and transmission
have been corrosion protected at the facto
ry.
Remove leaves from the plenum panel in
front of the windshield under the engine
hood. This prevents the water drain holes
from becoming blocked, and it prevents de
bris from entering the vehicle interior
throug h the heating and ventilation ducts. Good
anti-corrosion treatment is very im
porta nt, particularly in the winter. If the ve
hicle is frequently driven on salted roads,
the entire engine compartment and plenum
panel should be thor oughly cleaned at the
end of winter and retreated to prevent salt
damage. At the same time, the underside of
the vehicle should be washed as well.

fan
The radiator fan is driven by the engine via

speed of the fan according to the tempera
ture of the coolant.
An auxiliary electric radiator fan switches on
and off depending on coolant temperature
and other vehicle operation conditions.
� WARNING
• Always use extreme caution to
prevent clothing. jewelry, or long
hair from getting caught in the en
gine driven radiator fan, V-belt or
other moving parts.
• Never touch the auxiliary elec
tric radiator fan. The fan can
switch on suddenly and injure you.
Always heed all WA RNINGS
on page 232. Power
steering
Yo ur vehicle is equipped with a Servotro
nic power steering. The degree of
power assistance is regulated electronically
according to road speed.
The fluid reservoir is in the engine compart
ment near the windshield washer container.
The correct fluid level in the reserv oir is im
portant for the proper functioning of power
steer ing.
The power steering fluid level is checked
during the scheduled Maintenance ser
vices.
If the electronic regulating system is not
working properly, this is most noticeable
when turning the steering wheel at low
speeds (for example when parking) -more
effort will be required than usual. The fault
should be rectified by an Audi Dealer as
soon as possible. VEH
ICLE CARE
Note
• When the engine is running, never hold
the steering wheel turned all the way to the
right or to the left for longer than 15 sec
onds. The power steering pump will over
heat the hydraulic fluid if you hold the steer
ing wheel all the way turned.
This will damage the power steering
system.
Each time the steering wheel is turned all
the way to the right or left when stopped,
you will hear noises caused by the severe
stress placed on the power steering pump.
At the same time, engine idle speed drops.
• If the power steering system
should fail, or if the engine is not
running (for example, while being
towed). you will still be able to steer
the vehicle, however. more effort
will be required.
• If the power steering system should
have a leak, or is not functioning properly,
contact your authorized Audi Dealer imme
diately.
