A WARNING
Please note the important safe­
ty precautions regarding tire pressure ¢
page 263 and load
limits ¢
page 266.
Tires and vehicle load limits
There are limits to the amount of
load or weight that any vehicle
and any tire can carry. A vehicle
that is overloaded will not handle
well and is more difficult to stop. Overloading can not only lead to
loss of vehicle control, but can al-
266
so damage important parts of the
vehicle and can lead to sudden
tire failure, including a blowout
and sudden deflation that can
cause the vehicle to crash.
Your safety and that of your pas­ sengers also depends on making
sure that load limits are not ex­
ceeded. Vehicle load includes ev­
erybody and everything in and on
the vehicle. These load limits are
technically referred to as the vehi­ cle's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing
("GVWR"). ..,

.&_ WARNING
Improper use of the vehicle jack can cause se­
rious personal injuries.
- Never use the screw driver hex head to
tighten wheel bolts, since the bolts cannot
atta in the necessary tightening torque if you
use the hex head, potentially caus ing an ac­
c ident.
- The factory-supplied jack is intended only
for your vehicle model. Under no circum­
stances should it be used to
lift heavy
vehicles o r other loads; you r is k inju ring
yo urself.
- Never start the engine when the vehicle is
ra ised, whi ch could cause an accide nt.
- Support the veh icle secure ly with app ropr i­
ate stands if wor k is to be perfo rmed under­
neath t he vehicle; otherwise, the re is a po­
tent ial risk for in jury.
- Never use the jack s upplied with your Audi
on another vehicle, par tic ularly on a heav ier
one. The jack is only suitab le for use on the
vehicle it came with .
(D Tips
The vehicle jack* in your vehicle is mainte­
na nee-free.

Fuses a nd bul bs
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 diffi­
cult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in many
cases, other parts of the car must first be re­
moved before you are able to get to the bu lb .
This applies espec ially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car wh ich you can only reach
through the engine compartment .
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause ser ious cuts, and parts
m ust be correctly taken apa rt and then p roperly
put back together to help prevent breakage of
parts and long term damage from water that can
enter housings that have not been properly re­
sealed.
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bu lbs for
you, since your dealer has the proper tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise.
G as di sc harg e l am ps (Xe non li ghts):
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs
replaced by a qua lified technic ian . Headlights
with Xenon light can be identified by the high­
voltage sticker.
LED headlights* require no maintenance. Please
contact your authorized Aud i dealer if a bulb
needs to be replaced.
A WARNING
Contact w ith high-voltage components of the
electrical system and improper rep lacement
of gas discharge (Xenon) headlight bulbs can
cause serious personal injury and death.
- Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can ex­
plode when being changed.
- Changing Xenon lamps requires the special training, instructions and equipment.
- Only an a uthorized Audi dea ler or other
qualified workshop should change the bulbs
in gas discharge lamps .
294
A WARNING
-
There are parts with sharp edges on the open-
ings and on the bulb holders that can cause
serious cuts.
- If you are uncertain about what to do, have
the work performed by an authorized Audi
dealer or other qualified workshop. Ser ious
pe rsonal injury may resu lt from improperly
pe rformed wor k.
@ Tips
- If you still prefer to replace the light bulbs
yourself, be aware that the engine compart­ ment is a hazardous area to work in
9 page 2369 .&.
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi dealer
whenever you need to change a bulb.

General
This chapter is intended for trained emergency
crews and working personnel who have the nec­
essary tools and equipment to perform these
ope rations.
Starting by pushing or
towing
(D Note
Veh icles with an automatic transmission can­
not be started by pushing or towing.
Starting with jumper
cables
If necessary, the engine can be started by con­
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
Plug-in hybrid drive*: the connection points for
the jump start cables vary ¢
page 108.
If the engine should fail to start because of a dis ­
charged or weak battery, the battery can be con­
nected to the battery of
another vehicle, using a
pair of jumper cables to start the engine.
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of suffic iently large cross
section
to carry the starter current safely. Refer
to the manufact urer 's specifications.
Use only jumper cables with
insulated term inal
clamps which are distinct ly ma rked:
plus (+) cable in most cases colored red
minus (-) cable
in most cases colored black .
.,&. WARNING -
Plug-in hybrid drive*: you must not give a
jump start with your vehicle. This could cause significant damage to the electrical system in
your vehicle ¢
page 108.
Emergency situations
.,&. WARNING
-
Batteries contain electricity, acid, and gas.
Any of these can cause very serious or fatal in­
jury . Follow the instruct ions below for safe
handling of your vehicle's battery.
- Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning over the battery whenever possible.
- A discharged battery can freeze at tempera­
tures just below 32 °F (0 °C) . Before con­
necting a jumper cable, you must thaw the
frozen battery completely, otherwise it
could explode.
- Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes or
skin. Flush any contacted area with water
immed iate ly.
- Improper use of a booster batte ry to sta rt a
veh icle may cause an exp losion .
- Veh icle batteries generate exp losive gases .
Keep sparks, flames and lit cigarettes away
from batteries.
- Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a
low acid level in the battery .
- The voltage of the booster battery must also
have a 12 volt rat ing. The capacity (Ah) of
the booster battery should not be lower
than that of the discharged battery. Use of
batteries of different voltage or substantial­ ly different "Ah" rating may cause an explo­
sion and personal injury.
- Never charge a frozen battery . Gas trapped
in the ice may cause an explosion.
- Never charge or use a battery that has been
frozen. The battery case may have been
weakened.
- Use of batteries with different voltage or
substantially different Ah rating may cause
an explosion and injury. The capacity (Ah) of
the booster battery should not be lower
than that of the discharged battery .
- Before you check anyth ing in the eng ine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS
¢page 236.
(D Note
-App lying a higher voltage booster battery
will cause expensive damage to sensitive
295

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.

procedure after 10 seconds and then repeat
it after approximately 30 seconds. ..,_
