• Applying a higher voltage booster battery wil l cause expensive
damage to sensitive electronic components, such as contro l units,
relays, rad io, etc.
• There must be no electrical contact between the vehicles as

General information of starting
assistance
P lease observe tha t the p rocedure described below for conn ecti ng
jumper cab les is intended to provide a jump start for your vehicle.
M ake sure that the connected c la mp s have s ufficien t metal cont act.
& WARNING
Improper handling of the jumper cables can lead to an explosion
of the battery and severe inju ries . To reduce the r isk of injury, note
the following:
& WARNING (continued )
• The sections of the terminal clamps that are not insulated
must not touch each other. In addition , the cable clamped to the
battery's positive terminal must not come in contact with electri
cally connected parts of the vehicle -danger of short circuit!
• Route the jumper cable so that it cannot catch in any rotating
part s in the engine compartment .
• Do not bend over the batteries -danger of chemical burns!
• The battery cell locking screws must be t ightened securely .
• Keep ignition sources (open flame, burning cigarettes, etc .)
away from the batteries -danger of explosion!
• Do not clamp the minus cable to parts of the fuel system or the
brake lines .

13. Disconnect the cable while the engine is running exactly
in
reverse order to that described in~ page 287,
11Connecting/disconnecting the jumper cable.11
• When
doing so, make sure that the cable cannot contact rotating engine parts.
14. Turn the heater blower and the rear window heating off again.
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 ports 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 215, "Engine compartment" .
0 Note
Improperly connected jumper cables can damage or destroy the
generator.
• Do not use the battery negative terminal for jump starting or a
malfunction could occur in the vehicle electrical system.
• Always connect POSITIVE(+) to POSITIVE(+), and NEGATIVE( -) to
NEGATIVE (-l terminal. •
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 minus(-) cable to the minus 1-l terminal
on the discharged battery@=>
page 287, fig. 196. Instead, securely
connect the minus(-) cable to either a massive 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! •
Emergency towing with commercial
tow truck
General hints
Your Audi requires special handling for towing.
The following information is to be used by commercial tow truck
operators who know how to operate their equipment safely.
• Never tow your Audi, towing will cause damage to the engine
and transmission.
• Never wrap the safety chains or winch cables around the brake
lines.
• To prevent unnecessary damage, your Audi must be transported
with a car carrier (flat bed truck).
• To load the vehicle on to the flat bed, use the towing loop found
in the vehicle tools and attach to the front or rear anchorage
=>
page 289 and => page 289 . .,_

Lifting the vehicle
Important safety precautions
Be aware of the following hazards before lifting the vehicle with a
workshop hoist or floor jack:
• The vehicle should never be lifted or jacked up from underneath
the engine oil pan, the transmission housing, the front or rear axle
or the body side members. This could lead to serious damage.
• Use lifting equipment with padded contact surfaces to avoid
damage to the underbody or chassis frame.
• Alternatively, cover the contact surfaces on workshop hoist or
floor jack with rubber pads before lifting .
• Before driving over a workshop hoist, 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 suffi
cient clearance between the hoist and low parts of the vehicle .
& WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury and vehicle damage:
• Always lift the vehicle only at the special workshop hoist and
floor jack lift points illustrated
=> fig. 202 and => fig. 203 .
• 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 distri
bution and balance. This might happen, for example, when heavy
components such as the engine block or transmission are
removed .
• When removing such heavy components, anchor vehicle to
hoist or add corresponding weights to maintain the center of
gravity . Otherwise , the vehicle might tilt or slip off the hoist,
causing serious personal injury. •
Lifting with workshop hoist and with floor
jack
The vehicle may only be lifted at the lifting points illus
trated.

Controls and equip ment Safety first Vehicle operation
& WARNING
•
The actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the front and rear axles
should not exceed the permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
• Exceeding permissible weight ratings can result in vehicle
damage, accidents and personal injury.
0 Note
• The vehicle capacity weight figures apply when the load is
distributed evenly in the vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage compartment, carry the
load as near to the rear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
handling is not impaired.
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible axle loads or the
maximum gross vehicle weight. Always remember that the vehicle's
handling will be affected by the extra load. Therefore, adjust your
speed accordingly.
• Always observe local regulations.•
Dimensions
The specifications refer to the basic model. Differences may occur
depending on the model type and options ordered, for example, tire
sizes.
0 Note
When driving up steep ramps, on rough roads, over curbs, etc. it is
important to remember that some parts of your vehicle, such as
spoilers or exhaust system components, may be close to the
ground. Be careful not to damage them. •
