- Find the mounting point on the rocker panel which is
closest to the flat tire =>
page 270, fig. 164 -arrows-.
- Crank the jack up until it can be positioned under the lift
point on the vehicle.
- Align the jack so the claw=> fig. 165@ grips the
mounting point on the rocker panel and the flexible base
plate ® is flat on the ground.
- Continue to crank the jack until the wheel is lifted just
clear of the ground.
Recesses at the front and rear of the underbody rib mark the proper
mounting locations for the jack=>
page 270 , fig. 164. There is only
one
designated jack mounting point for each wheel. Do not apply
the jack anywhere else=>&.
The jack should be positioned approximately 6 in. (15 cm) behind
the front wheel or 10 in. (25 cm) in front of the rear wheel.
An
unstable surface under the jack can cause the vehicle to slip off
the jack. Always provide a firm base for the jack on the ground. If
necessary place a sturdy board or similar support under the jack. On
hard, slippery surfaces (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to
prevent the jack from slipping=> &.
& WARNING
• You or your passengers could be injured while changing a
wheel if you do not follow safety precautions:
-Mounting the jack under the vehicle at any other place than
indicated above may damage the vehicle or may result in
personal injuries.
- A soft or unstable surface under the jack may cause the
vehicle to slip off the jack. Always provide a firm base for the
jack on the ground. If necessary, use a sturdy board under the
jack.
- On hard, slippery surface (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or
similar to prevent the jack from slipping.
• To help prevent injury to yourself and your passengers:
-Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely
engaged.
- Passengers must not remain in the vehicle when it is jacked
up.
- Make sure that passengers wait
in a safe place away from
the vehicle and well away from the roadway and traffic.
- Make sure jack position is correct, adjust as necessary and
then continue to raise the jack.

tir es and whee ls", if you ar e goin g to us e a spar e tire which is
d ifferent from th e tir es on y our v ehic le .
After you ch ange a tire :
• Check the tire pressure on the spare immediately after
mounting.
• Have the wheel bolt tightening torque checked with a torque
wrench as soon as possible by your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified service station .
• With steel and alloy wheel rims, the wheel bolts are correctly
tightened at a torque of 90 ft lb (120 Nm l.
• If you notice while changing a tire that the wheel bolts are
corroded and difficult to turn , then they should be replaced before
you check the tightening torque.
• Replace the flat tire with a new one and have it installed on your
vehicle as soon as possible . Remount the wheel cover.
Until then , drive with extra care and at reduced speeds .
& WARNING
• If you are going to equip your vehicle with tires or rims which
differ from those which were factory installed , then be sure to read
the information
=> page 246, "New tires and replacing tires and
wheels ".
• Always store the tools securely in luggage compartment .

Fuses and bulbs -
------------------
The various electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are
clustered in a centralized 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 well advised to keep a supply of spare fuses in your vehicle.
Fuses with the proper ampere ratings are available 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. •

pe rsonnel who have the necessary tools and equ ipment to perform
these operations. •
Starting by pushing or towing
(D Note
Vehicles with an automatic transmis sion cannot be started by
push ing or towing . •
Starting with jumper cables
If necess ary, the en gine can b e sta rted by co nnectin 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 safe ly
c arry the s ta rt er cu rrent . Refer to the m anufac tu re r's sp ecifi cati ons.
Use only ju mper cables which have
insulated term ina l c lamps and
are proper ly marked for distinction:
plus (+l cable in mo st c ases co lor ed red
minus
(- 1 cable in most cas es color ed black .
& 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 already freeze at temperatures just
below 32 °F (0 °C l. Before connecting a jumper cable , the frozen
battery must be thawed 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 e xplosive gases . Keep sparks , flame
and lighted c igarettes away from batteries.
• Do not try to jump st art 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 . _..

point @of your vehicle.
8. Route the jumper cables so that they cannot catch in any
rotating parts in the engine compartment.
Starting the engine
9. Start the engine of the vehicle providing assistance and
allow it to run at idle.
10. Now start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged
battery , wait for two to three minutes until the engine
"runs" smoothly.
11. If the engine does not start: Stop trying after 10 seconds
and then try again after about 30 seconds.
12. In the vehicle that has received start assistance, turn on
the heater blower and the rear window heating to elimi­
nate any voltage peaks when disconnecting. Driving
lights must be switched off!
13. Disconnect the cable while the engine is running exactly
in
reverse order to that described in=> page 280,
"Connecting/disconnecting the jumper cable.". When
doing so, make sure that the cable cannot contact
rotating engine parts.
14. Close the cover on the posit ive terminal.
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.
• When connecting jumper cables, make sure that they cannot
get caught in any moving parts in the engine compartment.
• Before you check anything in the engine compartment, always
read and heed all WARNINGS=>
page 209, "Engine compartment" .
0 Note
Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin the generator.
• Always connect POSITIVE(+) to POSITIVE (+l, and NEGATIVE(-) to
NEGATIVE( -) ground post of the battery manager control unit.
• Check that all screw plugs on the battery cells are screwed in
firmly. If not, tighten plugs prior to connecting clamp on negative
battery terminal.
• Please note that the procedure for connecting a jumper cable as
described above applies specifically 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 1-1
terminal on the discharged battery ©-Instead, securely connect
the negative (-1 cable to either a solid metal component that is
firmly bolted to the engine block or to the engine block itself . If the
battery that is being charged does not vent to the outside, escaping
battery gas could ignite and explode! •
