(D Note
Never use a fast charger as a booster to
start the engine . This will seriously dam
age sensitive electronic components, such
as control units, relays, radio, etc ., as well
as the battery charger .
Battery replacement
The new battery mu st have the same specifi
cations and dimensions as the original equip
ment battery .
Intelligent energy management in your vehi
cle is responsible for d istributing the electr i
cal energy throughout your vehicle
c::>
page 192. The intelligent energy manage
ment system w ill keep the engine battery
charged bette r then vehicles w ithout t his sys

changed the battery, we recommend that you
install batteries of the same type and manu
facture only (the same as those installed at
the time your vehicle was delivered). Specifi
cations are listed on the bat tery hous ing. Your
author ized Audi dealer must code the battery
in the energy management system to enable
you to use the energy management functions
correctly after replac ing the battery .
If it is not possible to use a battery of this
type, the new battery must have the same ca
pac ity, voltage (12-volts), amperage, con
struction and plug sea ling.
When insta lling the battery, make sure the ig
nition and all electr ical consumers are turned
off.
(D Note
Make sure the venti lation hose on the s ide
of the battery is connected , othe rwise
fumes or battery ac id can leak out .
