quent ly, the engine cannot be started by pushing or towing .•
Starting with jumper cables
If necess ary, the en gine can b e sta rted by conn ectin g it to
the battery of anothe r vehicle.
If th e engine should fail to start because of a discharged or weak
b at te ry, the batt ery ca n be co nnected t o the ba ttery of
another
vehicle, using a pair of jumper cables to start the engine .
Jumper cables
Use
only jumper cables of sufficiently large cross section to carry the
s tarte r curre nt safely. Refer t o the manu fac tu rer 's specif ica tions.
Use only ju mper cabl es with
insulated terminal clamps whic h are
distinct ly marked:
plus (+l cable in mo st cas es c olored red
minus

& WARNING
Batteries contain electricity, acid , and gas. Any of the se can cause
very ser ious or fatal injury . Follow the instructions below for safe
handling of your vehicle 's battery .
• Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning over the battery
whenever possible .
• A discharged battery can freeze at temperatures just below
32 °F (0 °C l. Before connecting a jumper cable , you must thaw the
frozen battery completely , otherwise it could explode .
• Do not allow battery acid to conta ct eyes or skin. Flush any
contacted area with water immediately.
• Improper use of a booster battery to start a vehicle may cause
an explosion.
• Vehicle batteries generate explosive gases . Keep sparks , flame
and lighted c igarettes away from batteries.
• Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a low acid level in the
battery.
• The voltage of the booster battery must also have a 12-Volt
rating. The capacity (Ah l of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery . Use of batteries of
different voltage or substantially different "Ah" rating may cause
an explosion and personal injury .
• Never charge a frozen battery. Gas trapped in the ice may cause
an explosion.
• Never charge or use a battery that has been frozen . The battery
c ase may have be weakened .
• Use of batter ies of different voltage or substantially different
c apacity (Ah l rating may cause an explosion and injury . The
capacity (Ahl of the booster batte ry should not be lower than that
of the discharged battery. _..

- With engine running, remove jumper cables from both
vehicles in the exact reverse order.
- Close the red cover on the positive pole.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent gases from entering
the vehic le interior . Make sure that the jumper clamps are well connected with their
metal parts in full contact with the battery
t erminals .

Improper hook -up of jumper cables can ruin the generato r.
• Always connect POSITIVE(+) to POS ITIVE( +), and NEGATIVE( -) to
NEGATIVE( -) ground post of the battery manager control unit.
• Check that al l screw p lugs on the battery ce lls are screwed in
firm ly . If not, tighten plugs prior to connecting clamp on negative
battery termi nal.
• Please note that the procedure for connecting a jumper cab le as
described above applies specifical ly to the case of your vehicle
being jump started. When you are giving a jump start to another
vehicle, do not connect the negative(-) cable to the negative (-1
terminal on the discharged battery©~ page 388, fig. 313. Instead,
securely connect the negative ( -1 cable to either a solid metal
component that is firmly bolted to the engine b lock or to the engine
block itself . If the battery that is being charged does not vent to the
outside, escap ing battery gas could ignite and exp lode! •

& WARNING
• To reduce the risk of serious injury and vehicle damage.
-Always l ift the vehicle only at the special workshop hoist and
floor jack lift points illustrated => page
392 , fig. 319 and
=> page
392 , fig. 320.
- Failure to lift the vehicle at these points could cause the
vehicle to tilt or fall from a lift if there is a change in vehicle
weight distribution and balance . This might happen , for
e x ample , when heavy components such as the engine block or
transmission are removed .
• When remo ving heavy components like these, anchor vehicle
to hoist or add correspond ing we ights to maintain the center of
gravity. Otherwise , the vehicle might tilt or slip off the hoi st,
c ausing serious personal injury .
0 Note
• Be awar e of the fo llow ing po ints before l ifting t he ve hicle:
- The vehicle should never be lifted or jacked up from unde r­
neath the engine oil pan , the transmission housing , the front or
rear a xle or the body side members. This could lead to serious
damage.
- To avoid damage to the underbody or chassis frame, a rubber
pad must be in serted between the floor jack and the lift po ints .
- Before driving over a workshop ho ist, check that the vehicle
weight does not exceed the permissible lifting capacity of the hoist.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist , ensure that there is
sufficient clearance between the hoist and low parts of the
vehicle. •

reliability. For detailed vehicle maintenance consult your Warranty &
Maintenance book let.
Und er di ffi cult ope rating cond ition s, for example at extremely low
outside temperatures, in very dusty regions, when towing a trailer
very frequen tly, etc., some service work shou ld be performed
between the intervals specified. This applies particularly to:
• oil changes, and
• cleaning or replacing the air filter.
By regularly maintaining your vehicle, you help make sure that emis­
sion standards are maintained, thus minimizing adverse effects on
the environment. •
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
The increasing use of electronics, sophisticated fuel injection and
emission control systems, and the general ly increasing technical
complexity of today's automobi les, have steadi ly reduced the scope
of maintenance and repa irs which can be carried out by vehicle
owners.
Al so, sa fety a nd e nvironment al concerns p lace very strict
limi ts on the na ture of repairs a nd adjustments to engine and trans ­
mission parts which an owner can perform.
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usually require special tools,
testing dev ices and other equipment ava ilable to specially trained
workshop personnel in order to assure proper performance, reli ­
ability and safety of the vehicle and its many systems.
Improper maintenance, adjustments and repairs can impair the
ope ration and re liability of your vehic le and even void your vehic le
warranty. Therefore, proof of servicing in accordance with the main­
tenance schedu le may be a condition for upholding a pos sible
warranty claim made within the warranty period. Above all, operational safety can be adversely affected, creating
unnecessary r isks for you and your passengers .
If in doubt about any servicing, have it done by your authorized Audi
dea ler or any other properly equipped and qualified workshop. We
strongly urge you to give your authorized Audi dealer the opportu­
nity to perform all scheduled maintenance and necessary repairs.
Your dealer has the fac ilities, origina l parts and trained spec ial ists
to keep your vehicle running proper ly.
P e rforming limited maint ena nce your self
The following pages describe a lim ited number of procedures which
can be performed on your vehicle wi th ordinary too ls, should the
need arise and trained personnel be unavai lab le. Before performing
any of these procedures, a lways thoroughly read all of the appli ­
cable text and carefu lly follow the instructions given. Always rigor ­
ously observe the
