Fabrics and fabric coverings
Fabrics and fabric coverings (e .g. seats, door trim pane ls, etc.)
should be cleaned at regu lar intervals with a vacuum cleaner. This
removes surface dirt particles which could become embedded in
the fabric through use . Steam c leaners should not be used, because
the steam tends to push the dirt deeper into the fabric and lock it
there .
Norm al c leanin g
Generally, we recommend using a so ft sponge or a l int -free
microfiber cloth to the clean fabric. Brushes should only be used for carpets and floor mats, since other fabric surfaces could be harmed
b
y brushes .
Normal surface stains can be cleaned using a commercially avail­
able foam cleaner . Spread the foam on the surface of the fabric with
a soft sponge and work it in gently. Do not saturate the fabric. Then
pat the foam dry using absorbent, dry cloths (e.g. microfiber c loth)
and vacuum it af ter it has dried complete ly .
C leaning st ains
Stains caused by beverages (e.g . coffee, fruit juice, etc.) can be
treated with a mild detergent solution. Apply the detergent so lution
with a sponge . In the case of stubborn stains, a de tergent paste can
be applied directly to the stain and worked into the fabric. After ­
wa rds, use copious amounts of clean wa ter to remove the
remaining detergent . App ly the water with a damp cloth or sponge
and pat the fabric dry w ith an absorbent, dry c lo th.
Stains from choco late or makeup shou ld have detergent paste (e .g.
ox -gall soap) rubbed into them . Afterwards, remove the soap with
water (damp sponge).
Alcoho l can be used to treat stains from grease, oi l, lipstick or a ba ll­
point pen . Melted grease or dye must be patted off using absorbe nt
material. It may be necessary to retreat the areas with detergent
p aste and wa ter.
I n the case of general soiling of the upholstery and cover material,
we recommend hiring a specialist that has the equipment to clean
the seat covers and other fabr ic surfaces by shampooing and spray
extraction.

clothing materials can discolor leather seats (especially if such
clothing is damp and was not dyed correctly). Dust and dirt particles
in pores, folds, and seams can have an abrasive effect and can
damage the leather surface as well as weaken seams.
The leather should be cleaned regularly as needed. After having
been used for a relatively long time, your leather seats will acquire
a rich aged finish. This is a characteristic of natural leather and a
sign of true quality.
In order to maintain the value of this natural product over the life of
your vehicle, you should follow the recommendations below:
0 Note
• To keep your leather from bleaching out, do not allow it to be
exposed to bright sunlight for long periods of time. If you have to
leave the vehicle parked outside for long periods, cover the leather
to protect it from direct exposure to sunlight.
• Sharp objects on clothing, such as zippers, rivets or sharp pieces
on belts can leave permanent scratches or scrape marks on the
surface of the leather.
[ i J Tips
• After each time you clean the leather and at regular intervals, use
a leather preservative creme that contains UV -blockers and that
works into the leather. This creme will nourish and moisturize the leather, helping it to breathe and stay supple. It also helps to build
up a protective coating on the surface.
• Clean the leather every 2 -3 months, and clean any areas that get
soiled.
• Remove fresh marks made by ballpoint pens, ink, lipstick, shoe
polish, etc. as soon as possible.
• Preserve the color of the leather as needed by using a special
colored leather care creme to touch up areas of uneven color. •

Cleaning and caring for leather upholstery
and trim
Natural leather requires special care and attention.
Normal cleaning
-Clean soiled areas with a slightly moistened cotton or
woolen cloth.
More stubborn dirt
- More stubborn dirt can be removed using a cloth satu­
rated with a mild soap solution (2 tablespoons mild
liquid soap).
- Never allow the soap solution to saturate the leather, and
make certain that no water soaks into the seams.
Wipe off the soap solution with a soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning spots
-Remove fresh water-based spots (such as coffee, tea,
juices, blood) with an absorbent cloth or paper towel.
- Remove fresh
grease or oil-based spots (such as butter,
mayonnaise, chocolate) with an absorbent cloth or paper
towel, or use the cleaner from the leather care kit if the
spot has not yet penetrated into the surface of the
leather.
- Use an oil/grease dissolving spray, if
oil/grease spots
have dried on.
- Remove specific kinds of spots (ballpoint pen, felt
marker, fingernail polish, water-based paint, shoe polish,
etc.) with a spot remover specifically formulated for leather. ..,_

The various electrical circuits are protected by fuses . The fuses are
clustered in a central ized unit. The unit is located behind the face
panel at the end of the instrument panel.
Two spare fuses and a sticker identifying the fuses are located on
the inside of the fuse box cover.
You are wel l advised to keep a supply of spare fuses in your vehicle .
Fuses with the proper ampere ratings are availab le at your autho­
rized Audi dealer .
& WARNING
Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating .
• A fuse with a too high amperage could damage the electrical
part and cause a fire.
0 Note
• On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin
foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the elec­
trical circuit or cause fire.
• If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have
the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and
fixed. •
