Fuses
A problem in the electrical system may be
caused by a blown fuse.
Fuses are arranged in a centra lized unit. The
unit is located behind a cover at the end of
the dash board on the left hand side.
The crank handle for manual operation of
the electric sunroof* is cli pped on the inside
of the fuse box cover.
Two spare fuses are provided in the row of
fuses on the right.
It is a good idea to keep a supply of spare
fuses on hand. They are available from your
Audi Dealer.

could damage the electrical part
and cause a fire. Do not use a fuse
with a higher amperage than the
fuse being replaced. ·
• To avoid damaging the electrical
system. turn off all lights and acces
sories and remove the ignition key
before replacing a fuse.
• Open the cover of the centralized unit by
inserting a screwdriver in the slot of the
cover and pry it off.

to find out which fuse belongs to the com
ponent that has failed.
• Remove blown fuse with the plastic clip
prov ided. The clip is located on the holder in

keep on replacing it. The cause of
