=:> page 194. The intelligent energy management system will keep
the eng ine battery charged bette r then vehicles withou t this system .
To make sure the additional electrical energy is available o nce again
after you have changed the battery, we recommend t hat you install
batteries of the same type and manufacture only (the same as those
installed at the time your vehicle was delivered). Specif ications are
listed on the batte ry ho using. Your authorized dealer must code the
battery in the energy management system to enable you to use the
ene rgy management functions correct ly after replacing the battery.
If it is not poss ible to use a battery of this type, the new battery must
have the same capacity, voltage (12 volts), amperage, construct ion
and plug sealing.
We recommend that you use maintenance-free or
c y cle-re sis ­
tant /le ak -proof
batteries that conform to the standards TL 82S 06
(from December 1997) and
VW 7 50 73 (from August 2001).
When installing the battery, make sure the ignition and all electrical
consumers are turned off.
0 Note
• Make s ure that the gas venting hose is always connected to the
original opening on the battery side . Otherwise gasses or battery acid
co uld leak out.
• Battery mounts and clamps must a lways be secured correctly.
• Read and follow the warn ings under=:>
page 239, "Work ing on
the batte ry" before performing any work on the battery .
c£> For the sake of the environment
Because of the problem of proper disposal of a battery, we recom­
mend your authorized Audi dealer change the battery for you.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and lead and must always be d isposed
of prope rly in compliance with all env ironmenta l regulatio ns.
Disposing of vehicle batteries improperly is very dangerous to the
environment . M ake sure that the removed battery cannot overbal­
ance, otherw ise sulfur ic acid might escape! •

removed before you are able to get to the bu lb. This app lies espec ially
to the l igh t bu lbs in the front of your car whi ch you can o nly rea ch
through the engine compartment .
Sheet metal and bu lb holders can have sharp edges that can ca use
serious cuts, and parts must be correctly taken apart and the n prop­
erly put back together to he lp prevent b reakage of parts and long
term damage from wate r that can enter housings that have not been
p roperly resealed.
For your safety, we recommend that you have you r authorized Audi
deale r replace any bu lbs fo r you, since your dealer has the proper
too ls, the cor rec t bu lbs and the expertise .

Safety first
& WARNING
Improper handling of the jumper cables can lead to an explosion
of the battery and severe injurie s. To reduce the ri sk of injury, note
the following:
• The section s of the terminal clamps that are not insul ated
must not touch each other. In addition, the cable clamped to the
battery' s po sitive terminal must not come in contact with electri­
cally connected parts of the veh icle -danger of short circu it!
• Route the jumper cable so that it cannot catch in any rotating
parts in the engine compartment .
• Do not bend over the batteries -danger of chemical burns!
• The battery cell locking screws must be tightened securely.
• Keep ignition source s (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.
