Closing the engine hood
- Pull the hood down until the pressure from the struts is
reduced.
- Let the hood
drop down and latch in place. Do not try to
push it shut;
it may fail to engage~& .
& WARNING
A hood that is not completely latched could fly up and block your
view while driving.
• When you close the engine hood, check it to make sure the
safety catch has properly engaged. The hood should be flush with
the surrounding vehicle body parts.
• If you notice while driving that the hood is not secured prop­
erly, stop at once and close it. •
Working in the engine compartment
Be especially careful whenever you work in the engine
compartment!
Whenever you must perform any work in the engine compartment,
for example checking and filling the different fluids, there is a risk of injury, burns and accidents. To prevent personal injury always
observe the following WARNINGS. The engine compartment of any
vehicle is a hazardous area!
=> &
& WARNING
To help avoid injury, before you check anything under the hood :
• Switch off the engine.
• Remove the ignition key.
• Apply the parking brake.
& WARNING (continued)
• Move selector lever of automatic transmission to "P" {Park);
put manual transmission in Neutral.
• Always let the engine cool down. Hot components will burn
skin on contact.
• To reduce the risk of being burned, never open the hood if you
see or hear steam or coolant escaping from the engine compart­
ment. Wait until no steam or coolant can be seen or heard before
carefully opening the hood .
• Keep children away from the engine compartment.
• Never spill fluids on hot engine components. They can cause a
fire.
• Never touch the radiator fan. The auxiliary electric fan is
temperature controlled and can switch on suddenly.
• Never open the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is still
warm. The coolant system is pressurized and hot coolant could
spray out.
• Protect your face, hands and arm from steam or hot engine
coolant by placing a thick rag over the cap when you open the
coolant reservoir.
• If work on the fuel system or the electrical system is necessary:
- Always disconnect the battery .
- Never smoke or work near heaters or open flames. Fluids in
the engine compartment could start a fire.
- Keep an approved fire extinguisher immediately available.
• To avoid electrical shock and personal injury while the engine
is running or being started, never touch :
- Ignition cables
- Other components of the high voltage electronic ignition
system.
• If you must perform a check or repair with the engine running: .,_

& WARNING (continued)
-if you have been driving with very low tire pressures or tires
with no air
• Seek professional assistance if it is not possible to repair the
tire with the tire sealant.
& WARNING
The tire sealant must not come into contact with skin, eyes or
clothing.
• If you get any tire sealant
in your eyes or come into contact

- Do not induce vomiting! Find a physician immediately!
• If you have allergic reactions, find a physician immediately .
• Keep the tire sealant away from children .
0 Note
Do not use commercially available tire sealants. The electrical
components of the tire pressure monitoring system will no longer
work properly.
'i> For the sake of the environment
Used sealant bottles can be dropped off at a recycling facility.
[ i] Tips
• If sealant has run out, allow it to dry. Then you can peel it off.
• Have the tire sealant replaced every 4 years at a dealership. •

Controls and equip­ ment Safety first Vehicle operation
& W
ARNING (continued )
• Do not attempt any of the maintenance , checks or repairs
described on the following pages if you are not fully familiar with
these or other pro cedures with respect to the vehicle , or are uncer­
tain how to proceed.
• Do not do any work without the proper tools and equipment.
Have the necessary work done by your autho rized Audi dealer or
another properly equipped and qualified workshop .
• The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially
hazardous area . Never reach into the area around or touch the
radiator fan . It i s temperature controlled and can switch on
suddenly -even when the engine is off and the ignition key has
been removed . The radiator fan switche s on automatically when
the coolant reaches a certain tempe rature and will continue to run
until the coolant temperature drops .
• Always remove the ignition key before anyone gets under the
vehicle.
• Always support your vehicle with safety stands if it is neces­
sary to work underneath the vehicle. The jack supplied with the
vehicle is not adequate for this purpose and could collapse
causing serious personal injury .
• If you must work underneath the vehicle with the wheels on
the ground, always make sure the vehicle is on level ground , that
the wheels are always securely blocked and that the engine
cannot be started .
• Always make sure the transmission selector lever (automatic
transmission) is in "P" (Park position ) (automatic transmission ) or
Neutral (manual tr ansm ission) and the hand brake is firmly
applied.
• Chang ing t he e ngine sett ings wi ll a dverse ly affect em ission
levels. This is detrimenta l to the environment and increases fuel
co nsu mp tion.
