A discharged battery can freeze at temperatures
of only 32 °F (0 °C). Allow a frozen battery to
thaw completely before attempting to charge it
c::> ,& . However, we recommend not using a
thawed battery again because the battery casing
can be cracked due to ice formation and ca n leak
battery acid.
B attery ch arging (Maximum charging rate of
30 amps /14.8 Volt )
When charging at
Low voltages (e.g. w ith a tri ckl e
c har ger ),
the bat tery cables do not have to be
d isconnected first. The ba ttery caps shou ld
not
be opened when charg ing a battery .
I t is not necessary to
remove the batte ry from
t he luggage compa rtment.
F a st charging the b attery (charging rate
above 14.8 Volts )
F or technica l reasons do not use a battery charg­
e r that uses voltage greater than 14.8 Vol ts to
charge your veh icle's batte ry.
A WARNING
Charging a batte ry can be dangerous.
- Always fo llow the oper ating instructions
provided by the battery charge r manufactur­
er when charging your battery.
Checking and Fillin g
-Never charge a frozen battery. It may ex­
plode because of gas trapped in the ice . Al­
low a frozen battery to thaw out first.
- Do not reuse batteries wh ich were frozen.
The battery housing may have cracked and
weakened whe n the battery froze.
- Charge the battery in a well ventilated area. Keep away from open flame or electrical
spark. Do not smoke. Hydrogen gas generat­
ed by the batte ry is explosive .
- To reduce the danger of explosion, never
connect or d isconnect charger cab les wh ile
the charger is operating.
- Fast charging a battery is dangerous and
should only be attempted by a competent
technician w ith the proper eq uipment.
- Battery acid that may sp ill dur ing cha rging
should be washed
off with a solut ion of
warm water and baking soda to neutralize the acid .
@ Note
Never use a fast charger as a booster to start
the eng ine . T his w ill ser iously damage sensi­
tive elec tronic components, s uch as control
units, relays, radio, etc., as we ll as the battery
cha rger.
Battery replacement
The new battery must have the same specifica­
tions and dimensions as the original equipmen t
battery.
Intelligent energy management in your vehicle is
r esponsible for distributi ng the elect rical energy
t h ro ugh out your vehicle
c::> page 196. T he intelli­
gen t energy management system w ill keep the
engi ne battery charged better then vehicles with ­
out this system . To make s ure the additiona l elec­
trical energy is avai lab le once again after you
have changed the battery, we recommend that
you install batteries of the same type and manu­
facture on ly (the same as those installed at the
t ime you r vehicle was del ivered) . Specificat ions
are listed on the battery hous ing . Your autho r-
ized dea ler must code the battery in the ene rgy ..,.

management system to enable you to use the en­
ergy management functions correctly after re­ p lacing the battery .
If i t is not poss ible to use a battery of this type,
the new battery must have the same capacity,
voltage (12 vo lts), amperage, construction and
p lug sealing .
When insta lling the ba ttery, make sure the igni­
tion and all electrical consumers are t urned
off .
(D Note
- M ake sure the ven tilat ion hose on the side
of the ba tte ry is co nne cte d, o therw ise
fumes o r batte ry acid can lea k out .
- Vehicles wi th the Start-Stop-System* are
equipped with a special cycle-proof AG M
b attery. Installing a different type of bat­
tery can cause prob lems in the vehicle elec­
trica l system. When replacing the vehicle
battery, always install one with the same
spec ificat ions as the or iginal battery.
@ For the sake of the environment
Because of the problem of proper disposa l of
a battery, we recommend your author ized
Aud i dea ler change the battery for you. Bat­
teries conta in su lfuric ac id and lead and must
always be disposed of properly in compliance
w it h all environmental reg ulations. Disposing
of vehicle batte ries imprope rly is very dange r­
ous to the e nvironme nt.

Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace burned out bulbs for you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more diffi­
cult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in many
cases, other parts of the car must first be re­
moved before you are ab le to get to the bulb.
This applies espec ially to the light bulbs in the
front of you r car which you can only reach
through the engine compartment.
Fuses and bulbs
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, and parts
must be correctly taken apart and then properly
put back together to help prevent breakage of
parts and long term damage from water that can
enter housings that have not been proper ly re­
sealed .
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Aud i dealer replace any bulbs for
you, since your dealer has the proper too ls, the
correct bulbs and the expertise .
Gas discharge lamps (Xenon lights )*:
Due to the high e lectrica l voltage, have the bulbs
replaced by a qualified technician. Headlights
with Xenon light can be identif ied by the high
vo ltage sticker.
A WARNING
Contact with high-voltage components of the
electr ical system and improper replacement
of gas discharge (Xenon) headlight bulbs can
cause ser ious personal injury and death.
- Xenon bulbs are pressur ized and can ex-
plode when being changed.
- Changing Xenon lamps requ ires the special
train ing, instructions and equipment.
- Only an authorized Audi dealer or other
qualified workshop should change the bulbs
in gas discharge lamps.
A WARNING "'--
There are parts with sharp edges on the open-
in gs and on the bulb holders that can cause
serious cuts.
- If you are uncertain about what to do, have
the wor k performed by an authorized Aud i
dealer or other qualified workshop. Serious
personal injury may resu lt from improperly
performed work .
(D Tips
-If you must replace the light bulbs yourself,
always remember that the engine compart­
ment of any vehicle is a hazardous area to
work in . Always read and heed all WARN­
INGS¢ page 221 ¢ .&,.

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
(D 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 discharged battery can freeze at tempera­
tures just below 32 °F (0 °C). Before con­
necting a jumper cable, you must thaw the
Emergency situations
frozen battery completely, otherwise 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 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 al­
so 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
q page 221.
(D 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.
(D Tips
- The discharged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle's electrical system. .,..
271

Emergency situation s
When jump starting or charging the battery,
never connect the negative ground cable to
the battery negative post because the bat­
tery manager system must be able to detect
the battery's state of charge. Always con­ nect the negative ground cable to the nega ­
tive ground post of the battery manager
control un it.
Use of jumper cables
Make sure to connect the jumper cable clamps in
exactly the order described below!

• With engine running, remove jumper cables
from both vehicles in the exact
reverse order .
• Close the cover @on the positive terminal and
re-install the cover@¢
fig. 22 7.
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.
& WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and damage
to the veh icle, heed all warnings and instruc­
tions of the jumper cable manufacturer. If in
doubt, call for road service.
