2016 AUDI TT COUPE change time

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ~ For the sake of the environment
Because of the problem of proper disposal of
brake fluid as well as the special tools re­
quired
and the ne cessary expertise, we rec­
ommend that you have the brake fluid
changed by your authorized Audi dealer.
Battery
General information
The battery in your Audi does not need any main­
tenance under normal operating conditions. Audi
recommends having the electrolyte level check
by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility
when there are high outside tem­
peratures or when driving all day. The electrolyte
level should also be checked each time the bat­
tery is charged ~page 247.
Have the battery checked when you bring your ve­
hicle
in for an inspection . It is a good idea to re­
place
the battery if it is more than S years old.
Sometimes when the airbags deploy, the battery
will be disconnected from the vehicle electrical
system for safety reasons ~.&in Repair, care
and disposal
of the airbags on page 203.
Disconnecting the battery
The battery should not be disconnected. Several
vehicle functions (power windows, for
example)
will be lost when the battery is disconnected. The
functions must be reprogrammed after connect­
ing the battery. To avo id this, the battery should
only be disconnected from the vehicle electrica l
system when it is absolutely necessary.
Not running the vehicle for long periods of
time
If you do not drive your vehicle for several days or
weeks, electrical consumers are gradually scaled
back
or switched off. This reduces energy use and
ensures the vehicle will be able to start after long
periods of time~ page 92. Some convenience
functions, su ch
as interior lighting or power seat
adjustment, may not be available under certain
circumstances. These convenience functions will
be available again once you switch
the ignition on
and start the engine.
Checking and Filling
Winter operation
A lot of stress is placed on the battery during
cold weather, which results in reduced starting
ability. Have the battery checked and recharged if
necessary
before the cold weather begins.
A WARNING
- Work on the battery requires expert know l­
edge. Contact an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility for informa­
tion regarding the vehicle battery. There is a
risk for chemical
burns or explosions.
- Never
open the vehicle battery. Do not try to
change the battery electrolyte level. Other­
wise explosive
gas will escape from the bat­
tery and increase the risk of an exp losion. ___ ....J
Working on the battery
Be especially careful when working on or near
the battery.
The battery is located in the luggage compart­
ment under the floor . Before you check anything
in the luggage compartment, read and heed all
WARNINGS~_&.
Always heed the safety warnings , when working
on
the vehicle battery or the vehicle electrical
system to prevent injury.
The following WARNINGS are very important
when working on the battery:
Always heed the following WARNING SYM-
BOLS and safety precautions when working on
the battery.
®
Always wear eye protection.
&
Battery acid contain s sulfuric acid. Al-
ways wear gloves and
eye protection .

A WARNING
Whenever working on the ba ttery or on the
electrical system, there is the risk of injury,
accident and even fire. Read and heed the fol­
lowing
WARNINGS:
- Always wear eye protection. Do not let bat­
tery acid or any lead particles get on your
skin or clothing . Shield your eyes. Explosive
gases can cause blindness or other injury.
-
Battery acid contains sul furic acid. Sulfuric
acid
can cause blindness and severe burns.
- Always
wear gloves and eye protection. Do
not tilt the battery because acid could leak
out of the ventilation openi ngs.
- If you
get battery acid in your eyes or on
your skin, immediately rinse with cold wa­
ter for several minutes and get medical at­
tention.
-
If you should ingest any battery acid, seek
medical attention immediately.
-
Do not expose the battery to an open flame,
electric sparks or an open light.
-
Do not smoke.
-Do not interchange the positive and nega-
tive
cables.
-When working on the battery, be sure not to
short-circuit the terminals with tools or oth­
er metal objects. This would cause the bat­
tery to heat up very quickly, which could
lead to damage or explosion and personal
injury.
-
When a battery is charged, it produces hy­
drogen gas which is explosive and could
cause personal injury .
- Always keep
the battery well out of the
reach of children.
- Before work is
done on the electrical sys­
tem, disconnect the negative ground cable.
- Before
performing any work on the electri­
cal
system, switch off the engi ne and igni­
t i
on as well as any electrical equipment. The
246
-
negative cabl e on the battery m ust be dis­
connected. If you are just going to replace a
light bulb,
then it is enough to switch off
the lights.
- Before di
sconnecting the battery, switch off
the anti-theft alarm system! Otherwise you
w ill
set off the alarm.
-
When disconnecting the battery, first dis­
connect the negative cabl e and then the
positive cable.
- Before
reconnecting the battery, make sure
all electrical consumers are switched off.
Reconnect
the positive cable first and then
the negative cable. Never interchange the
cables -this could start a fire!
- Never
charge a frozen or a thawed-out bat­
tery. It cou ld explode! If a battery has fro ­
zen,
then i t must be replaced. A discharged
b attery can freeze ove r at 32 °F (O °C).
-Make sure the vent hose is always attached
to the opening on the side of the battery .
- Never
use batteries which are damaged.
There is th e danger of an exp losion! Always
replace a da maged battery .
A WARNING
Cali fornia Proposition 65 Warning:
-
Batter y posts, ter m inals and related acces­
sories contain lead a nd lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive problems.
Wash
hands after handling .
CD Note
-Do not disconnect the vehicle battery when
the ignition is on or when the engine is run­
ning,
otherwise, you will damage electronic
components in the e lectrical system.
-If your veh icle is going to stand for a long
period of time without being driven, protect
the battery from "freezing" , otherwise it
will be damaged and will then have to be re­
placed .

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Checking and Filling
Battery replacement
The new battery must have the same specifica­
tions and dimensions as the original equipment
battery .
Intelligent energy management in your vehicle is
responsible for distributing the electrical energy
throughout your vehicle Q page 92. The intelli­
gent energy management system will keep the
engine battery charged better than vehicles with­
out this system. To make sure the additional
electrical energy is available once again after you
have
changed the battery, we recommend that
you install batteries of the same type and manu­
facture only (the same as those insta lled at the
time your vehicle was delivered). Specificat ions
are listed on the battery housing. Your author­
ized dealer must code the battery in the energy
management system to enable you to use the en­
ergy management functions correctly after re­
placing the battery.
The new
battery must have the same capacity,
voltage (12-volts) , amperage, construction and
plug sealing.
When installing the battery, make sure the igni­
tion and all electrical consumers are switched
off.
CD Note
Make
sure the ventilation hose on the side of
the battery is connected, otherwise fumes or
battery acid can leak out.
@ For the sake of the environment
Because
of the problem of proper disposal of
a battery, we recommend your authorized
Audi dealer change the battery for you. Bat­
teries contain sulfuric acid and lead and must
always be disposed of properly in compliance
with all
environmental regulations. Disposing
of vehicle batteries improperly is very danger­
ous to the environment.

Windshield washer
system
Fig. 190 Eng ine compartment: washer flu id reservo ir cap
The windshield washer reservoir W contains the
cleaning solution for the windsh ield and the
headlight washer system* Q page 238, fig. 184.
The reservoir capacity is found in Q page 299.
To reduce the risk of lime scale deposits on the
spray nozzles, use clean water with low amounts
of calcium. Always add window cleaner to the wa­
ter. When the outside temperatures are cold, an
anti-freezing
agent should be added to the water
so that it does not freeze .
CD Note
- The
concentration of anti-freezing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
conditions in the respective climate. A con­
centration that is too high can lead to vehi­
cle damage.
-Never add radiator anti-freeze or other addi­
tives to the washer fluid.
-
Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint solvents, because this can damage the
paint.
