Checking and Filling
-To reduce the risk of being burned, never
open the hood if you see or hear steam or
coolant escaping from the engine compart
ment . Wait until no steam or coolant can be
seen or heard before carefully opening the hood.
- Keep children away from the engine com
partment.
- Never spill fluids on hot engine compo
nents. They can cause a fire.
- Never touch the radiator fan. The auxiliary
electric fan is temperature controlled and
can switch on suddenly .
- Never open the coolant reservoir cap when
the engine is still warm. The coolant system
is pressurized and hot coolant could spray
out.
- Protect your face, hands and arm from
steam or hot engine coolant by placing a
thick rag over the cap when you open the
coolant reservoir .
- Do not remove the engine cover under any
circumstances. This increases the risk of
burns.
- If work on the fuel system or the electrical
system is necessary :
- Always disconnect the battery.
- Never smoke or work near heaters or open
flames. Fluids in the engine compartment could start a fire.
- Keep an approved fire extinguisher imme
diately available .
- To avoid electrical shock and personal injury
while the engine is running or being started,
never touch:
- Ignition cables
- Other components of the high voltage electronic ignition system.
- If you must perform a check or repair with
the engine running:
- First, fully apply the parking brake, move
selector lever of automatic transmission
192
to "P" (Park); put manual transmission in
Neutral.
- Always use extreme caution to prevent
clothing, jewelry, or long hair from getting
caught in the radiator fan, V-belts or other
moving parts, or from contacting hot
parts . Tie back hair before starting, and do
not wear clothing that will hang or droop
into the engine.
- Minimize exposure to emission and chemi cal hazards

When jump starting or charging the battery,
never connect the negative ground cable to
the battery negat ive post because the battery
manager system must be able to detect the
battery's state of charge. Always connect the
negative g round cab le to the negative ground
post of the battery manager control unit.
Use of jumper cables
Make sure to connect the jumper cable clamps in
exactly the order described below!
Fig. 186 Engine compa rtment: Connectors for jumper ca
b les and c harger
Fig. 187 Jum p sta rting with the battery of anot her veh icle :
@ boos te r ba ttery, @ discharged veh icle battery
The procedure described below for connecting
jumper cables is intended to provide a jump start
for your vehicle.
Vehicle with discharged battery :
.. Turn
off lights and accessories, move lever of
automatic transmission to N (Ne utra l) or P
(Park) and set parking brake.
Connect POSITIVE(+) to POSITIVE(+) (red)
.. Remove the cover above the jump start connec
t ion.
.. Open the cover on the posit ive pole ¢
fig. 186.
Emergency situations
1. Connect one end of the red positive cable on
the jump start bolt~
fig. 187 (D (Bolts un
der cover= "positive") of the vehicle to be
started @.
2. Connect the other end to the positive termi- nal@of the booster battery @.
Connect NEGATIVE (-) to NEGATIVE(-)
(black)
3. Connect one end of the black negative cable
to the negative terminal ® of the booster
battery @.
4 . Connect the other end to the jump start bolt
@ (Bolts with hex head= "negative") of the
vehicle to be started @.
Starting the engine .. Start the engine of the veh icle with the booster
battery @. Run the eng ine at a moderate
speed .
.. Start engine with discharged vehicle battery @
in the usual manner.
.. If the engine fails to start: do not keep the
starter cranking for longer than 10 seconds.
Wait for about 30 seconds and then try again .
.. With engine running, remove jumper cables
from both vehicles in the exact
reverse order .
.. Close the cover on the positive pole.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent
gases from entering the vehicle inter ior. Make
sure that the jumper clamps are well connected
with their
metal parts in full contact with the
batte ry terminals.
A WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and damage
to the vehicle, heed all warnings and instruc
tions of the jumper cable manufacturer. If in
doubt, call for road service.
- Jumper cables must be long enough so that
the vehicles do not touch .
- When connecting jumper cables, make sure
that they cannot get caug ht in any moving
parts in the eng ine compartment.
- Do not bend over the batteries -danger of
chemi cal burns!

carried out by veh icle owners .
Also , s afety a nd
en viro nm enta l
concerns place very strict limits
on the nature of repa irs and adjustments to en
g ine and transmission parts which an owner can
perform.
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usua lly re
qu ire spec ial tools, testing devices and other
equ ipment available to specially trained work
shop perso nnel in order to assure proper per
formance, reliab ility and safety of the vehicle and
its many systems.
Improper ma intenance, adjustments and repairs
can impair the operation and reliability of your
vehicle and even void your vehicle warranty .
Therefore, proof of se rv icing in accordance with
the m aintenance schedule may be a condi tion for
upho ld ing a possib le warranty cla im made w ith in
the warranty period .
Above all, operational safety can be adversely af
fected, creating unnecessary r isks fo r you and

C o nsum er information
A WARNING
- Ser ious personal injury may occur as a result
of improperly performed maintenance, ad
justments or repairs.
- Always be extremely careful when work ing
on the vehicle. Always follow commonly ac
cepted safety practices and general com mon sense. Never ris k personal injury.
- Do not attempt any of the maintenance,
checks or repairs descr ibed on the following
pages if you are not fully familia r wi th these
or other procedures w ith respect to the vehi
cle, or a re unce rtain how to proceed .
- Do not do any work without the proper tools
a nd eq uipment. Have the necessary work
done by your authorized Audi dealer or any
properly equipped and qualified workshop.
- The engine compa rtment o f any motor vehi
cle is a potentially hazardous area. Neve r
reach into the area around or touch the radi
ator fan. It is temperature controlled and
can switch on suddenly - even when the en
g ine is off and the ignition key has been re
moved. The rad iator fan switches on auto
mat ically when the coo lant reaches a certain
temperature and will continue to run unt il
the coolant temperature d rops.
- Always remove the ign ition key befo re any
one gets under the vehicle.
- Always support your veh icle with safety
stands if it is necessary to work underneath
the vehicle. The jack supplied w ith the vehi
cle is no t adequ ate for this purpose and
could collapse caus ing serious personal in
jury.
- If you m ust wor k underneath t he vehicle
with the wheels on the ground, a lways make
sure the vehicle is on level ground, that the
wheels are a lways secure ly blocked and that
the engine cannot be started.
- Always make sure the transmission se lector
lever (automatic transmiss ion) is in "P"
(Park position) or Neutral (manua l transm is-
sion) and the park brake is firmly applied. .,.
