battery capacity AUDI Q5 2013 Owners Manual

244 Checking and filling
Vehicles not driven for long periods
If you do not drive you r vehicle over a pe riod
of severa l days or weeks, electrical compo­
nents are gradually cut back or switched off.
This reduces energy consumption and main­
tains starting capability over a longer period
¢page 203.
Take into consideration that when yo u un lock
your vehicle, some convenience functions, such as the interior lights or the power seat
adjustment, may not be available. The con­
venience funct ions w ill be available again
when you turn on the ignition and start the
engine .
Winter operation
During the winter months, battery capacity
tends to decrease as temperatures drop . This
is because more power is also consumed while
start ing, and the headl ights, rear window de­
fogger, etc., are used more often .
Avoid unnecessary power consumption, par­
ticularly in city traffic or when traveling only
short distances . Let your authorized Audi
dealer check the capacity of the vehicle bat­
tery before winter sets in¢
page 245. A well
cha rged battery w ill not only prevent starting
prob lems when the weather is cold , but will
a lso last longer .
Working on the battery
Be especially careful when working on or near
the battery.
The battery is located in the luggage compart­
ment under the floor. Before you check any­
thing in the luggage compartment,
read and
heed all WARNINGS
¢ _&..
Hybr id drive*: you can find impo rtant informa­
tion about the high voltage battery under
¢page 97 .
Always heed the safety warnings , when work­
ing on the vehicle battery or the vehicle elec ­
trical system to prevent injury.
The following WARNINGS are very
important when working on the battery:
Always heed the following WARNING SYM­ BOLS and safety precaution s when working
on the battery.
@) Always wear eye protection .
I>. Battery acid contains sulfuric acid_-Al­
~ ways wear gloves and eye protection.
~ No
\!=51 -sparks
-flames
-smoking.
A When a battery is charged, it produces
~ hydrogen gas which is explosive and
could cause personal injury.
/G Always keep the battery well out of
V!!JI reach of children.
A WARNING "--
Whenever working on the battery or on
the electrical system, there is the risk of
in jury, accident and even fi re. Read and
heed the following WARNINGS :
- Always wear eye protection. Do not let
battery ac id or any lead particles get on
your skin or clothing. Shield your eyes .
Exp losive gases can cause blindness or
other injury .
- Ba ttery acid contains sulfuric acid. Sulfu­
ric acid can ca use blindness and severe
burns .
- Always wear gloves and eye protection .
Do not tilt the battery because acid
could leak out of the ventilat ion open­
i ngs.
- If you get battery ac id in your eyes or
on your skin, immediately rinse with
cold water fo r several minutes and get
med ical attention .
-If you should ingest any battery acid,
seek medical attention immediately.
- Do not expose the battery to an open
flame, electr ic sparks or an open light.
- Do not smoke.

install batteries of the same type and manu­
facture only (the same as those installed at
the t ime your vehicle was delivered) . Specifi ­
cations are listed on the battery housing. Your
authorized dealer must code the battery in
the energy management system to enable you
to use the energy management functions cor­ rectly after replacing the battery .
If it is not possible to use a battery of this
type, the new battery must have the same ca ­
pacity, voltage (12 volts), amperage, con­
struction and plug sea ling .
When installing the battery, make sure the ig­
nition and all electr ica l consumers are turned
off.
(D Note
- Make sure the ventilation hose on the
s ide of the batte ry is connected, other­
wise fumes or battery acid can leak out .
- Vehicles with the Start-Stop-System* are
equipped with a special cycle-proof AGM
battery . Installing a different type of
battery can cause problems in the vehi­
cle elec trical system. When replacing the
vehicle battery, always insta ll one with
the same specifications as the original
battery.
@ For the sake of the environment
Because of the problem of proper disposal
of a battery, we recommend your author ­
ized Audi dealer change the battery for
you. Batteries contain su lfuric acid and
lead and must always be disposed of prop­
erly in compliance with all environmental
regu lations . D isposing of vehicle batteries
improperly is very dangerous to the envi­
ronment .

You can find the reservoir
capacity in the table
in

Clean water should be used when filling up. If
possible, use soft water to prevent scaling on
the washer jets. A lways add a glass cleaner
solution (with frost protection in the winter).
(D Note
Do not mix engine coolant antifreeze o r
any other additives to fill up the wind­
sh ield washer reservoir.

250 Tires and wheels
Groove
means the space between two adjacent tread
ribs .
Load rating (code)
means the maximum load that a tire is rated
to carry for a given inflation pressure. You
may not find this informat ion on all tires be­
cause it is not req uired by law.
Maximum load rating
means the load rating for a t ire at the max i­
mum permissible inflation pressure for that
tire.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight
means the sum of:
(a) Curb weight
(b) Accessory weight
(c) Vehicle capacity we ight, and
(d) Production options weight
Maximum (permissible) inflation pressure
means the maximum cold inflation pressure
to which a tire may be inflated. Also called
"maximum inflation pressure ."

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 ope rations.
Starting by pushing or
towing
Q;) Note
Vehicles with an automati c 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 veh icle,
using a
pair of jumper cables to start the en­
g ine .
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of sufficiently large
cross section to carry the starter current safe­
ly. Refer to the manufacturer's specifications.
Use only jumper cables with
insulated termi­
na l clamps which are distinctly marked:
plus(+) cable in most cases colored red
minu s(-) cable
in most cases colored black .
A WARNING
Batteries contain electricity, ac id, and gas .
Any of these can cause very serious or fatal
inju ry. Follow the instructions below for
safe handling of your veh icle's battery.
- Always shield you r eyes and avoid lean­
ing over the battery whenever possible.
- A discharged battery can freeze at tem­
peratures just be low 32 °F (0 °C). Before connecting a
jumper cable, you must
thaw the frozen battery complete ly, 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 ac id level in the battery.
- The vo ltage 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 d ifferent voltage
or substantially different "Ah" rating
may cause an exp losion and personal in­
jury.
- Never charge a frozen batte ry. 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 batter ies of different voltage or
substantially different capacity (Ah) rat­
ing may cause an exp losion 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 a ll
WARNINGS ¢
page 226, Engine com­
partment.
«I) Note
-Applying a higher voltage booster bat­
tery will cause expensive damage to sen­
sitive electronic components, such as
contro l units, relays, rad io, 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. ..,_
