Emergency situations
General
This chapter is intended for trained emergency
crews and working personnel who have the nec­
essary tools and equipment to perform these
operations.
Starting by pushing or
towing
CD 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 con­
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
If the engine should fail to start because of a dis­
charged or weak battery, the battery can be con­
nected to the battery of
another vehicle, using a
pair of jumper cables to start the engine.
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of sufficiently large cross
section
to carry the starter current safely. Refer
to the manufacturer's specifications.
Use only jumper cables with
insulated terminal
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 in­
jury. Follow the instructions below for safe
handling of your vehicle's battery.
-Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning
over the battery whenever possible.
-A dead battery can freeze at temperatures
around 32 °F (0 °C). If the vehicle battery is
frozen, you must thaw it before connecting
the jump start cables. If you do not, this in-
Emergency situations
creases the risk of an explosion and chemi­
cal burns. After jump starting the vehicle,
drive to an authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Service Facility immediately to
have the vehicle battery checked.
- 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 gases.
Keep sparks, flame and lighted cigarettes
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 battery. Use of
batteries of different voltage or substantial­
ly different "Ah" rating may cause an explo­
sion and personal injury.
- Never charge a frozen battery. Gas trapped
in the ice may cause an explosion.
- Never charge or use a battery that has been
frozen . The battery case may have be weak­
ened.
- Use of batteries of different voltage or sub­
stantially different capacity (Ah) rating may
cause an explosion and injury. The capacity (Ah) of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS
qpage 159.
CD Note
-Applying a higher voltage booster battery
will cause expensive damage to sensitive electronic components, such as control
units, relays, radio, etc.
- There must be no electrical contact between
the vehicles as otherwise current could al­
ready start to flow as soon as the positive
(+) terminals are connected.

Emergency situations
@ Tips
The discharged battery must be properly con­
nected to the vehicle's electrical system .
When jump starting or charging the battery,
never connect the negative ground cable to
the battery negative post because the battery
manager system must be able to detect the
battery's state of charge . Always connect the
negat ive ground cable to the negative ground
pos t of the battery manager control unit.
Use of jumper cables
Make sure to connect the jumper cable clamps in
exactly the order described below!

The procedure described below for connecting
jumper cables is intended to provide a jump start
for your veh icle.
Vehicle with discharged battery:
.. Turn off lights and accessories, move lever of
automatic transmission to
N (Neutral) or P
(Park) and set park ing brake .

Connect POSITIVE(+) to POSITIVE (+) (red)
.. To access the positive terminal, remove the
battery cover
r:!) fig. 164.
1. Connect one end of the red positive cable on
the
jump start bolt (D ~ fig. 165 (Bolt under
cover= "positive") of the vehicle to be start­
ed @.
2. Connect the other end to the positive termi-
nal@ of the booster battery @.
Connect NEGATIVE(-) to NEGATIVE(-)
(black)
3. Connect one end of the black negative cable
to the negative terminal ® of the booster
battery @.
4. Connect the other end to the
jump start bolt
© (Bolt with hex head= "negative") of the
vehicle to be started @.
Starting the engine
.,. Start the eng ine of the vehicle with the booster
battery @. Run the eng ine at a moderate
speed .
.,. Start engine w ith discharged vehicle battery@
in the usual manner.
.. If the engine fails to start: do not keep the
starter cranking for longer than 10 seconds.
Wait for about 30 seconds and then try again .
.. With engine running, remove jumper cables
from both vehicles in the exact
reverse order .
.,. Fit the cover back onto the battery .
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent gases from entering the vehicle interior . Make
sure that the jumper clamps are well connected
with their
metal parts in full contact with the
batte ry terminals.
A WARNING
To avoid serious personal inju ry and damage
to the veh icle, heed all warnings and instruc­
tions of the jumper cable manufacturer.
If in
doubt, call for road service.
- Jumper cables must be long enough so that
the vehicles do not touch .
- When connecting jumper cables, make sur e
that they cannot get caug ht in any moving
pa rts in the engine compartment. ..,.

Tech nical data
A WARNING
- The actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the
front and rear axles should not exceed the
permissible weights, and their comb inat ion
must not exceed the Gross Veh icle Weight
Rating .
- Exceeding pe rm iss ible weight ratings can
resu lt in ve hicle damage, acc idents a nd per­
so nal inj ury.
([) Note
- The vehicle capacity weight figures app ly
when the load is distributed evenly in the
vehicle (passe ngers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the lugg age
compartment, carry the load as near to the
rear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
handling is not impaire d.
- Do not exceed the maximum permissib le
axle loads o r the maximum gross vehicle
Dimensions
we ight . A lways remember that the vehi cle's
hand ling will be affected by the extra load.
Therefore, adjust your speed according ly .
- Always observe local regulations .
