• Install the new batteries.
When installing the batteries, make sure
the side of the battery with the "+" symbol
on it is facing down. See illustration. A pic­
ture on the inside of the lid shows you the
correct battery position.
• Take the lid with the installed batteries,
place it over the key base and press the two
parts together.
• Place the key base on the key stem and
press both parts together. Notes
• The replacement batteries must be iden­
tical in size and specification to the original
batteries provided.
• Spare batteries are available at your au­
thorized Audi Dealer.
&.. Dispose of dead batteries prop­� erly so as not to pollute the envi­
ronment. Many stores that sell bat­
teries will accept dead batteries for
recycling or proper disposal.
• If you cannot Jock or unlock your vehicle
after you have changed the batteries, then
the system must be re-synchronized. See
page 60.

RE----------------------------------------------------
When disconnecting and
connecting the battery ...
When you disconnect the vehicle battery
please note the following:
- some data stored in the driver informa-
tion system are erased,
- the clock goes out,
- the factory installed radio locks up,
- the Engine management system,
- the one-touch-u p and one-touch-down
functions of the power windows no lon­
ger work,
- all stored seat positions in the memory*
are erased.
Af teryou reconnect the battery, you must
reset the clock. � page 118.
You also have to reset the Engine manage­
ment system -see "Starter Switch "
�pa ge 113.
You also have to reset the one-touch-up and
one-touch�down feature on power win­
dows -see "Power windows "
�p age 71.
248 You
have also reset the seat memory* -see
"Seats"
� page 81.
The radio must be re-coded with the correct
radio code - see your radio Operating In­
structions.
Replacement battery
A replacement battery must have the same
specifications and dimensions as the origi­
nal equipment battery. Specifications are
listed on the battery housing.
When installing the battery, make sure the
ignition and all electrical consumers are
switched off.
r.Gb. Because of the problem of �proper di
sposal of a battery, we
recommend that you have your au­
thorized Audi Dealer change the
battery for you. Batteries contain
sulfuric acid and lead and must al­
ways be disp osed of properly ob­
serving all environmental regula­
tions. Air
cleaner
A dir ty air cleaner element not only reduces
the engine output and increases fuel con­
sumption considerably but can also cause
premature engine wear.
Normally, it is not necessary to service the
air cleaner more often than recommended
in the Maintenance booklet. If the vehicle is
driven on very dusty roads, the air cleaner
must be serviced more frequently, even dai­
ly.
If your air cleaner element must be
changed mora frequently, we rec­
ommend that you have the air clean­
er serviced by your authorized Audi
Dealer or a qualified workshop.
The air cleaner element must never
be cleaned or soaked with gasoline,
cleaning solvents or oil.
g Always heed all WARN INGS
