A WARNING
Improper care, servicing and repair proce
dures can increase the risk of personal injury
and death by preventing an airbag from de
ploying when needed or deploying an airbag
unexpectedly:
- 1
-Never cover, obstruct, or change the steer
ing wheel horn pad or airbag cover or the in
strument panel or modify them in any way.
- Never
attach any objects such as cup holders
or telephone mountings to the surfaces cov
ering
the airbag units.
- For cleaning
the horn pad or instrument
panel, use only a soft, dry cloth or one mois
tened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners
could damage the airbag cover or change
the stiffness or strength of the material so
that the airbag cannot deploy and protect
properly.
- Never repair,
adjust, or change any parts of
the airbag system.
-All work on the steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seats or electrical system (in
cluding
the installation of audio equipment,
cellular telephones and CB radios, etc.)
must be performed by a qualified technician
who has the training and special equipment
necessary.
- For any work on
the airbag system, we
strongly recommend that you see your au
thorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
- Never modify
the front bumper or parts of
the vehicle body.
- Always
make sure that the side airbag can
inflate without interference:
- Never install
seat covers or replacement
upholstery over the front seatbacks that
have not been specifically approved by
Audi.
- Never
use additional seat cushions that
cover the areas where the side airbags in
flate.
Airbag system
-Damage to the original seat covers or to
the seam in the area of the side airbag
module must always be repaired immedi
ately by an authorized Audi dealer.
-The airbag system can deploy only once. Af
ter an airbag has been deployed, it must be
replaced with new replacement parts de
signed and approved especially for your
Audi
model version. Replacement of com
plete airbag systems or airbag components
must be performed by qualified workshops
only. Make sure that any airbag service ac
tion is
entered in your Audi Warranty &
Maintenance booklet under AIRBAG RE
PLACEMENT RECORD.
-For safety reasons in severe accidents, the
alternator and starter are separated from
the vehicle battery with a pyrotechnic circuit
interrupter.
-Work on the pyrotechnic circuit interrupt
er must only be performed by a qualified
technicians who have
the experience, in
formation and special tools necessary to
perform the work safely.
-
If the vehicle or the circuit interrupter is
scrapped, all applicable safety precautions
must be followed.

A drained
battery can freeze at temperatures
around 32 QF (0 QC). A frozen or thawed out bat
tery must no longer be used. The battery housing
could be cracked by
the formation of ice, which
could cause
battery acid to leak out¢& .
Battery charging (Maximum charging rate of
30 amps I 14.8 Volt)
When charging at low voltages (e.g. with a trick
le charger ), the battery cables do not have to be
disconnected first. The battery caps should not
be opened when charging a battery.
Checking and Filling
It is not necessary to remove the battery from
the luggage compartment, and it is also not nec
essary to disconnect the cables.
Fast charg ing the battery ( charging rate
above
14. 8 Volts)
For technical reasons do not use a battery charg
er that uses voltage greater than 14.8 Volts to
charge your vehicle's battery.
A WARNING
!-='"
Charging a battery can be dangerous.
-Always follow the operating instructions
provided by
the battery charger manufactur
er when charging your battery.
-Never charge a froze n battery. It may ex
plode because of gas trapped in the ice. Al
low a frozen battery to thaw out first.
-
Do not reuse batteries which were frozen.
The
battery housing may have cracked and
weakened
when the battery froze.
-
Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
Keep away
from open flame or electrical
spark.
Do not smoke. Hydrogen gas generat
ed by the battery is explosive.
-
To reduce the danger of explosion, never
connect or disconnect charger cables while
the charger is operating.
-Fast charging a battery is dangerous and
should only be attempted by a competent
technician with the proper equipment.
-Batte ry ac id that may spill during charging
should be washed
off with a so lution of
warm water and baking soda to neutralize
t
he acid.
CD Note
Never use a fast charger as a booster to start
the engine. This will seriously damage sensi
