2016 AUDI A3 radio

Emergency situations
electronic components, such as control
units, re lays, radio, etc.
- There must be no electrical contact between
the vehicles otherwise current could already
start to flow as soon as the positive(+) ter­ minals are connected.
@ Tips
The discharged battery must be properly con­
nected to the vehicle's electrical system .
When jump starting or charging the battery,
never connect the negative ground cable to
the battery negative post because the battery
manager system must be able to detect the
battery's state of charge. Always connect the
negat ive g ro und cable to the negative g round
post on the battery manager control unit.
Using jump start cables
Connect the jump start cables in the exact order
described below.
