Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have your autho­
rized Audi dealer replace burned out bulbs for you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more difficult to replace
vehicle light bulbs since in many cases, other parts of the car must
first be removed 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 engin e compartment .
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp edges that can cause
serious cuts, and parts must be correctly taken apart and then prop­
erly put back together to help prevent breakage of parts and long
term damage from wa ter that can enter housings that have not
been properly resealed.
For your safety , we recommend that you have your authorized Audi
dealer replace any bulbs for you, since your dealer has the proper
tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise.
Gas discharge lamps (Xenon lights)*:
•
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs replaced by a qual­
ified technician. Headlights with Xenon light can be identified by the
high voltage sticker.
& WARNING
Contact with high-voltage components of the electrical system
and improper replacement of gas discharge (Xenon) headlight
bulbs can cause serious personal injury and death.
• Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can explode when being
changed.
• Changing Xenon lamps requires the special training, instruc­
tions and equipment .
• Only an authorized Audi dealer or other qualified workshop
should change the bulbs in gas discharge lamps.
& WARNING
There are parts with sharp edges on the openings and on the bulb holders that can cause serious cuts.
• If you are uncertain about what to do, have the work performed
by an authorized Audi dealer or other qualified workshop. Serious
personal injury may result from improperly performed work.
[ i] Tips
• If you must replace the light bulbs yourself, always remember
that the engine compar tment of any vehicle is a hazardous area to
work in. Always read and heed all WARNINGS =>
page 212, "Engine
compartment"=> &.
• It is best to ask your authorized Audi dealer whenever you need
to change a bulb. •

If n ecess ary, the e ngin e c an b e starte d by conne ctin g it to
the ba ttery of anoth er vehicle .
If the engine shou ld fai l to start because of a discharged or weak
ba tte ry, the bat te ry can be connected t o the ba ttery of
another
vehic le, using a pair of jumper cables to start the engine.
Jumper cables
Use
only jumper cables of suffic iently large cross section to safely
c a rr y th e st arter cu rre nt. Re fer to th e m an ufacture r's spec ific a tio ns.

& WARNING
Batteries contain electricity , acid , and gas . Any of these can cause
very serious or fatal injury. 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 already freeze at temperatures just
below 32 °F (0 °Cl. Before connecting a jumper cable, the frozen
battery must be thawed completely , otherwise it could explode .
• Do not allow battery a cid 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 e xplosive gases . Keep sparks, flame
and lighted cigarettes away from batteries.
• Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a low ac id level in the
battery.
• The voltage of the booster battery must also have a 12-Volt
rating . The capacity (Ahl of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery . Use of batteries of
different voltage or substantially different "Ah " rating may cause
an e xplosion 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 weakened.
• Use of batteries of different voltage or substantially different
capacity (Ah ) rating may cause an explosion and injury . The
capacity (Ahl of the booster battery should not be lower than that
of the discharged battery . .,_

"Connecting/d isconnecting the jumper cable .". When
doing so, make sure t hat the cable cannot contact
rotating engine parts.
14 . Close the cover on the pos itive terminal.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent gases from entering
the vehic le interior. Make sure that the jumper clamps are well
connected with their
metal parts in full contact with the battery
termina ls .

0 Note
Improper hook -up of jumper cables can ruin the generator .
• Always connect POS ITIVE ( +l to POSITIVE(+), and NEGAT IVE( -) to
NEGAT IVE( -) ground post of the battery manager control unit .
• Check that al l screw plugs on the battery cells are screwed in
firm ly . I f not, tighten plugs prior to connecting clamp on negative
battery terminal.
• Please note that the procedure for connect ing a jumper cable as
described above applies specifical ly to the case of your vehicle
being jump started. When you are giving a jump start to another
vehicle, do
not connect the negative(-) cable to the negative 1- l
terminal on the discharged battery@. Instead, securely connect
the negative( -) cable to either a sol id metal component that is
