sponding position:
@ -windshield wipers
off
@-interval mode. To increase/decrease the wip
er intervals , move
the switch @ to the left/right.
In vehicles with a rain sensor*, the wipers turn on
in the rain once the vehicle speed exceeds ap
proximately 2 mph (4
km/h). The higher the sen
sitivity
of the rain sensor* is set (switch @ to the
right),
the earlier the windsh ield wipers react to
moisture on the windsh ield. You can deact ivate
the rain sensor mode* in the Infotainment sys
tem, which switches the intermittent mode on.
Select
in the Infotainment system: I MENU! bu t

A WARNING
f-==" -I
- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver is still responsib le for
manually switching the wipers on according
to the visibility conditions .
- The windsh ield may
not be treated with wa
ter-repelling windshield coating agents. Un
favorable conditions, such as wetness, dark
ness, and when
the sun is low, can cause in
creased glare which increases
the risk of an
accident.
Wiper blade chatter is also possi
b l
e.
-Properly functioning windshield wiper
b lad
es are required for a clear view and safe
driving
<:::>page 42, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.
CD Note
-In the case of frost, check whether the
windshield wiper blades are frozen to the
windshield. Switching on the windshield
wipers
can damage the w ip er blades!
-
Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
w ip er system
must be switched off (lever in
position
0). This prevents unintentiona l
switching on and damage
to the windsh ield
wiper system .
@Tips
-The windshie ld wipers switch off when the
ignition is turned off. Activate the wind
shield wipers
after the ignition is switched
back on by moving
the windshield wiper lev
er
to any position.
-
Worn or dirty windshie ld wiper blades result
in streaking.
This can affect the rain sensor*
function .
Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly .
- The washer fluid nozzles in
the windshield
washer system are heated*
at low tempera
tures when
the ignition is on.
- When stopping
temporarily, such as at a
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
w ipers automatically reduces by one level.

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.
