Bulbs
Replacing bulbs
For your s afety, we recommend th at you have your autho
ri zed Audi dealer replace any bulbs for you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more difficult to replace
vehic le light bulbs since in many cases, o ther parts of the car must
first be removed before you are able to get to the bu lb . This applies
especia lly to the light bu lbs in the front of your car which you can
only reach through the engine compartment .
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp edges that can cause
serious cuts, parts must be correctly taken apart and then properly
put back together to help prevent breakage of parts and long term
damage from water that can enter housings that have not been
properly resealed.
Fo r your safety, we recommend that you have your authorized Audi
dea ler replace any bulbs for you, s ince your dealer has the proper
tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise.
Ga s di scharg e lamps (X enon ligh ts)*:
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs replaced by a qual
ified technician . Headlights with Xenon light are identified by the
high voltage sticker .
& WARNING

& WARNING !continued)
• Before you check anything in the engine compartment, always
read and heed all WARNINGS~ page 263, "Engine compartment".
0 Note
• Applying a higher voltage booster battery will cause expensive
damage to sensitive electronic components, such as control units,
relays, radio, etc .
• There must be no electrical contact between the vehicles as
otherwise current could already start to flow as soon as the positive
(+) terminals are connected.
[ i) Tips
• The discharged battery must be properly connected to the
vehicle's electrical system. When jump starting or charging the
battery , never connect the negative ground cable to the battery
negative post because the battery manager system must be able to
detect the battery's state of charge. Always connect the negative
ground cable to the negative ground post of the battery manager
control unit .•
Use of jumper cables
Make sure to connect the jumper cable clamps in exactly
the order described below!
