Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety , we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace burned out
bulbs for you.
It i s becoming increasingly more and more diffi
cu lt to replace vehicle light bulbs s ince in many
cases, other parts of the car must first be re
moved before you are able to get to the bulb.
This applies especially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car which you can only reach
through the engine compartment.
Sheet meta l and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, and pa rts
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 .,,_

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
veh icle 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
batter ies 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 batter ies of different voltage or sub
stantially d ifferent capacity (Ah) rating may
cause an explosion and injury. The capacity
(Ah) of the booster battery should not be
lowe r than that of the discharged battery.

- To avoid damage to the underbody or
chassis frame , a rubber pad must be in·
serted between the floo r jack and the lift
points.
- Before driving over a wo rkshop hoist,
check that the veh icle weight does not
e xceed the permiss ible lift ing capacity of
the hoist.
- Before driv ing over a workshop hoist, en
sure that there is sufficient clearance be
