Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace burned
out bulbs for you .
It is becoming increasingly more and more
difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in many cases, other parts of the car must first
be removed before you are able to get to the
bu lb. This appl ies especially to the light bu lbs
in the front of your car which you can on ly
reach through the engine compartment .
Sheet metal and bulb ho lde rs can have sharp
edges that can cause ser ious cuts, and parts
must be correctly taken apart and then prop
erly put back together to help prevent break
age of parts and long term damage from wa
ter that can enter housings that have not been
properly resealed.
F or your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs
for you, since your dealer has the proper tools,
the correct bu lbs and the expertise.
G as disc harge la mp s (X enon li ght s)*:
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the
bu lbs rep laced by a qualified technician.
H eadlights with Xenon l ight can be ident ified
by the high voltage sticker .
A WARNING
Contact with hig h-voltage components of
the electrica l system and improper re
placement of gas discharge (Xenon) head
light bulbs can cause serious personal in
jury and death .
- Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can ex plode when be ing changed.
- Chang ing Xenon lamps requires the spe
c ial train ing, instructions and equip
ment.
- Only an authorized Aud i dea ler or other
qualified workshop should change the
bulbs in gas discharge lamps .
Fuses and bulb s 28 3
A WARNING
There are parts with sharp edges on the
openings and on the bulb holders that can
cause ser ious cuts.
- If you are uncertain about what to do,
have the work performed by an author
ized Audi dealer or other qualified work
shop. Ser ious personal i nju ry may result
from imprope rly perfo rmed wo rk.
(D Tips
- If you must replace the light bulbs your
self, always remember that the eng ine
compartment of any vehicle is a hazard
ous area to work in. A lways read and
heed a ll WARN INGS
~ page 226, Engine
compartment
q & .
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi
dealer whenever yo u need to change a
bulb .

284 Emergency situations
Emergency situations
General
This chapter is intended for trained emer
gency crews and working personnel who
have the necessary tools and equipment to
perform these ope rations.
Starting by pushing or
towing
Q;) Note
Vehicles with an automati c transmission
cannot be started by pushing or towing .
Starting with jumper
cables
If necessary, the engine can be started by
connecting it to the battery of another vehi
cle.
If the engine should fail to start because of a
discharged or weak battery, the battery can be
connected to the battery of
another veh icle,
using a
pair of jumper cables to start the en
g ine .
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of sufficiently large
cross section to carry the starter current safe
ly. Refer to the manufacturer's specifications.
Use only jumper cables with
insulated termi
na l clamps which are distinctly marked:
plus(+) cable in most cases colored red
minu s(-) cable
in most cases colored black .
A WARNING
Batteries contain electricity, ac id, and gas .
Any of these can cause very serious or fatal
inju ry. Follow the instructions below for
safe handling of your veh icle's battery.
- Always shield you r eyes and avoid lean
ing over the battery whenever possible.
- A discharged battery can freeze at tem
peratures just be low 32 °F (0 °C). Before connecting a
jumper cable, you must
thaw the frozen battery complete ly, oth
erwise 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 explosive gas
es. Keep sparks, flame and lighted ciga
rettes away from batteries.
- Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a low ac id level in the battery.
- The vo ltage of the booster battery must
also have a 12-Volt rating . The capacity
(Ah) of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged bat
tery . Use of batteries of d ifferent voltage
or substantially different "Ah" rating
may cause an exp losion and personal in
jury.
- Never charge a frozen batte ry. Gas trap
ped in the ice may cause an explosion.
- Never charge or use a battery that has
been frozen. The battery case may have
be weakened.
- Use of batter ies of different voltage or
substantially different capacity (Ah) rat
ing may cause an exp losion and injury.
The capacity (Ah) of the booster battery
should not be lower than that of the dis
charged battery.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed a ll
WARNINGS ¢
page 226, Engine com
partment.
«I) Note
-Applying a higher voltage booster bat
tery will cause expensive damage to sen
sitive electronic components, such as
contro l units, relays, rad io, etc .
- There must be no electrical contact be
tween the vehicles as otherwise current
could already start to flow as soon as the
positive(+) terminals are connected. ..,_

@ Tips
-The discharged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle's electrical sys
tem. When jump start ing or charging the
battery, never connect the negative
ground cable to the battery negative
post because the battery manager sys
tem must be able to detect the battery's
state of cha rge . A lways connect the neg
ative g round cab le to the negative
gro und post o f the battery manage r con
trol uni t.
Use of jumper cables
Make sure to connect the jumper cobl e
clomps in exactly the order describ ed b elow!

hi cle :@ booster battery, @ disc harged vehicle bat tery
The procedure described below for connecting
jumper cables is intended to provide a jump
start for your veh icle .
Hybr id drive*: read the important information
concerning a dead high voltage bat te ry under
c::;, page 105 .
Emergenc y situ ation s 285
Vehicle with discharged b attery:
.,. Turn off lights and accessor ies, move lever
o f automatic transmiss ion to N (Neutra l) or
P (Pa rk) and set parking brake.
Connect POSITIVE (+) to POSITIVE (+ )
(r ed)
.,. Remove the cover(!) by pressing on the ar
row
¢ fig. 227.
.,. Open the cover @on th e positive terminal.
1. Connect one end of the red pos it ive cable
on the
jump start bolt c::;, fig. 228 (D
(Bolts under cover= "po sit ive") of the ve
hicle to be started @.
2. Connect the othe r end to the pos itive ter-
mi na l@ of the booster battery @.
Connect NEGATIVE (-) to NEGATIVE (- )
(black )
3. Connect one end of the black negative ca
ble to the negative termi na l@ of the
booster battery @.
4 . Co nnect the othe r end o f the black nega
tive cab le to the
jump sta rt b olt © (Bolts
with hex head = "negative") of the vehicle
to be started @.
Starting the engine
.,. Start the engine of the veh icle w ith the
booster ba tte ry @ . Ru n the engine at a
moderate speed .
.,. Start eng ine wit h discha rged vehicle battery
@ in the usual manner .
.,. If the eng ine fails to start: do not keep the
starter crank ing for longer than 10 seconds.
Wait for about 30 seconds and then try
aga in .
.,. With engine running, remove jumper cab les
from both vehicles in the e xact
reverse o r
de r .
.,. Close the cover @on the pos itive termina l
and re -install the cover
(D c::;, fig . 22 7.
T he battery is vented to the outside to preven t
gases from en ter ing the veh icle in ter io r. Ma ke
su re that the jumper clamps are well connect
ed with their
metal parts in full contact with
the battery te rm inals.
