For you r safety, we recommend that you have your autho ­
ri zed Audi dealer replace burned out bulbs for you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more difficu lt to rep lace vehicle
light bulbs since in many cases, ot her parts of the car must first be
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 .
Gas dis charge lamp s (Xenon lights)* :
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs replaced by a qual­
ified technician. Headlights with Xe non light can be iden tified by the
high voltage sticker.

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. 203 and=> fig. 204.
• 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. •
