Washing
The best protection against environmental
influences is frequent washing and waxing.
How often this is required depends on how
much the vehicle is used, where it is parked
(garage, in the open under trees, etc.), the
seasonal and weather conditions as well as
env ironmental influences. The longer bird
droppings, insects, tree resin, road and in
dustrial grime, tar, soot, road salt and other
materials remain on the vehicle paint, the
more lasting their destructive effect will be.
High temperatures, as from strong sunlight,
intensify the corrosive effect.
Under certain circumstances, weekly
washing may be necessary. Under other
conditions. a monthly washing and waxing
may be adequate.
After the winter, the underside of the ve
hicle should be thoroughly washed. Automatic
car wash
The vehicle paint is so durable that the ve
hicle can normally be washed without prob
lems in an automatic car wash. However,
the effect on the paint depends to a large
extent on the design of the facil ity, the filter
ing of the wash water, the type of wash and
care material, etc. If the paint has a dull ap
pearance after going through the car wash
or is scratched, bring this to the atte ntion of
the operator immediately. If necessary use
a different car wash.
Notes
• Before going through a car wash, be sure
to take the usual precautions such as clos
ing the windows and sunroof*.
• You don't have to remove the factory
installed radio antenna. However, if your ve
hicle is equipped with the Navigation Sys
tem*, then you must remove the antenna.
• If you have installed additional accesso
ries on the vehicle -such as spoilers, roof
rack, etc. -it is best to ask the car wash op
erator if these should be remov ed. VE

SERVICE----------------------
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.
274 Replacing
a fuse
� WARNING
A fuse with too high amperage
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.
• Check the fuse listing on the next pages
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
the fuse box. •
Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the
same amperage. You can recognize the
blown fuse by the burnt metal strip.
• Reinstall the fuse box cover.
Notes
• If a fuse blows repeatedly. do not
keep on replacing it. The cause of
the short circuit or overload must be
found. On no account should fuses
be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin
foil or wire) as this may cause seri
