Emergency situations
General
This chapter is intended for trained emergency crew s and working
personnel who ha ve the necessar y tools and equipment to perform
the se operations . •
Starting by pushing or towing
(D Note
Your vehicle is equipped with an a utomat ic transmission. Conse­
que ntly, the eng ine can not be started by pushing or towing. •
Starting with jumper cables
If necess ary, the engine can be started by connecting it to
the battery of an other vehicle .
If the engine shou ld fai l to start because of a discharged or weak
battery, the battery can be co nnecte d to the battery of
another
vehicle, using a pair of jumper cable s to start the engine .
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of suffic ient ly large cross section to carry the
sta rter cur ren t safely . Refe r to the manufacture r's specifications.
Use on ly j umper cab les with
insulated te rm ina l clamps w hich are
distinct ly marked :
plus(+) cable in most cases colo red red
minus (-) cable i n most cases colored black.
Safety first
& WARNING
Batterie s contain electricity, acid, and gas . Any of these can cause
very serious or fatal injury . Follow the inst ructions 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). Before connecting a jumper cable, you must thaw the
frozen battery completely , otherwise it could explode.
• Do not allow battery acid to contact 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 xplos ive gases. Keep spa rks, flame
and lighted cigarettes 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 h ave a 12 -Volt
rating. The capacity (Ah) of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery. Use of batter ies of
different voltage or sub stantially different "Ah " rating may cau se
an explosion and personal injury.
• Never charge a frozen battery . Ga s trapped in the ice may cause
an e xplosion.
• Never charge or use a battery that has been frozen. The battery
case may have be weakened.
• Use of batteries of different voltage or substantially different
capacity (Ah ) rating may cause an explosion and injury . The
capacity (Ah ) of the booster battery should not be lower than that
of the discharged battery. _..

& WARN ING (con tin ue d)
• Before you che ck anything in the engine compartment, always
read and heed all WARNINGS~
page 269, "Engine compart­
ment ".
0 Note
• App lying a higher vo ltage booster battery will cause expens ive
damage t o sens it ive e lec tron ic compone nts, such as contro l units,
re lays, rad io, etc.
• The re must be no elect rical contact between the veh icles as othe r­
w ise current could already start to flow as soon as the pos it ive( +)
t erminals a re connected.
[ i ] Tips
• T he discha rged ba ttery mus t be p roper ly connec ted to the
vehicle's electrical system. Whe n jump starting or charging the
b att ery, never connec t the negat ive g round cable to the batte ry nega­
tive post because the battery manager system must be ab le to detect
the ba ttery's state of charge . Always connect the negative gro und
cable to the negative ground post of the batte ry manager contro l
unit. •

Safety first
T he battery is vented to the outside to prevent gases from entering
t he ve hicl e inter ior. Make su re t hat t he ju mper clamps are we ll
connected with the ir
metal parts in full contact with the battery
terminals .
& WARNING
To avoid serious per sonal 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
tou ch.
• When connecting jumper cables , make sure that they cannot
get caught in any moving part s in the engine compartment .
• Before you che ck anything in the engine compartment , always
read and heed all WARNINGS~
page 269, "Engine compart­
ment ".
0 Note
Improper hook-up of j umper cab les can ruin the generator.
• Always co nnect POSITIVE(+) to POSI TIVE(+), and NEGATIV E(- )
to NEGA TIVE( -) ground post of the battery manager cont rol unit.
• Check that all screw p lugs on the battery ce lls are sc rewed in
firmly. If not, tighten p lugs prior to connecting clamp on negative
battery terminal.
• Please note that the proced ure for connecting a jumper cable as
described above applies specifically to t he case of your vehicle being
jump started . When you a re giving a jump start to another vehicle, do
not connect the negative( -) cab le to the nega tive (-) te rm inal on the
discharged battery©~
page 332, fig. 239. Instead, securely
c onne ct the negative (- ) cab le to ei ther a so lid met al componen t th at
is f irm ly bolted to the eng ine b lock or to the eng ine b lock itself. If the
ba ttery tha t is bei ng charged does not ven t to t he ou tside, escap ing

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 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 334 and~ page 335 .
& WARNING
A vehicle being towed is not safe for passengers. Never allow
anyone to ride in a vehicle being towed, for any reason. •
Front towing Loop
Do not install the front towing loop until it is needed.

the towing loop
The towing loop fits into the threaded hole located on the
right side of the front bumper and covered by a small cover
when not in use.
- Remove the towing loop from the vehicle toolkit
=> page 316.
-Press the cover in by applying short sharp pressure to the
bottom part to release it from the bumper=> fig. 240.
- Screw the towing loop tightly into the threaded hole as far
as it will go=> fig. 241 . ..,

& 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=>
page 336, fig. 244 and
=> page 336, fig. 245.
- 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
example, when heavy components such as the engine block or
transmission are removed .
• When removing heavy components like these, 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.
0 Note
• B e aw are of the following poi nts b efo re li fting the ve hicl e:
- The vehicle should never be lifted or jacked up from under­
neath the engine oil pan, the transmission housing , the front or
rear axle 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 inserted between the floor jack and the lift points.
- 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
sufficient clearance between the hoist and low parts of the
vehicle. •
