Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have your autho­
rized Audi dealer replace burned out bulbs for you.
It is becoming increasing ly more and more d ifficult to replace vehicle
light bulbs since in many cases, other parts o f the car must fi rst be
removed before you are ab le to get to the bu lb . T his applies especially
to the light b ulbs in the front of yo ur car which yo u can only reac h
through the eng ine compartment .
Sheet meta l and bulb holders can have sharp edges that can ca use
serious c uts, and parts must be corre ct ly ta ke n apa rt and the n pro p­
erly put back together to he lp prevent breakage of parts and long
t erm damage from w ate r tha t can en ter housings th at have not been
properly resealed .
For your safety, we recommend that you have yo ur a uthorized Audi
dealer replace a ny bu lbs for you , since you r dealer has t he p roper
too ls, the correct bulbs and the expertise.
Ga s discharge lamp s (Xenon light s)* :
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs replaced by a qua l­
ified technician. Headlights w ith Xenon light can be ident ified by the
hig h voltage sticker .
& WARNING
Contact with high- voltage components of the electrical system
and improper repla cement of gas disc harge (Xenon) headlight
bulbs can cause serious personal injury and death .
• Xenon bulb s ar e pres surized and can explode when being
changed .
• Changing Xenon lamp s requires the special training, instruc ­
tions and equipment.
& WARNING (c on tinued )
• Only an authorized Audi dealer or other qualified work shop
s hould change the bu lbs in gas discharge lamps .
& WARNING
There are parts with sharp edges on the openings and on the bulb
holder s that can cause serious cuts .

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 jumpe r cables of suffic iently large cross section to carry t he
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. _..

& WARNING (continued)
• Before you check anything in the engine compartment, always
read and heed all WARNINGS ~
page 290, "Engine compart­
ment".
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 other­
w ise 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 nega­
tive 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
fvfake sure to connect the jumper cable clamps in exactly
the order described below!

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
