Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have your autho ­
rized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for you.
I t is becoming increasing ly more and more difficult t o replace
vehic le light bulbs since in many cases, other parts of the car must
first be removed before yo u are able to get to the bu lb . T his applies
especia lly to the ligh t bu lbs in the front of your car which you can
only reach th rough the eng ine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb ho lders can have sharp edges that can cause
s e rious cuts, and parts must be correctly taken apart and th en prop­
erly put back together to help prevent breakage of par ts and long
te rm damage from water that can enter housings that have not
been properly resealed .
For your safety , we recommend that you have your authorized Audi
dea ler replace any bulbs for you, since your dealer has the prope r
tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise .

cranking for longer than 10 seconds. Wait for about 30
seconds and then try again.
- With engine running, remove jumper cables from both
vehicles in exact
reverse order.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent gases from entering
the vehicle interior.
Make sure that the jumper clamps are well connected with their
metal parts in full contact with the battery terminals .
& WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and damage to the vehicle, heed
all warnings and instructions of the jumper cable manufacturer. If
in doubt, call for road service.
• Jumper cables must be long enough so that the vehicles do not
touch.
