Applies to: vehicles with plug-in hybr id drive
The following contains information you should
know about transporting your vehicle.
The MQB-A high-voltage lithium-ion battery sys
tem equipped in your vehicle is composed of SA
NYO 12 UF 261 591 high -voltage batteries and
has passed test 38.3 in accordance with the UN
Tests and Criteria handbook. The vehicle may be
transported with the high-voltage battery instal
led as conventional class 9 hazardous materials
without additional official consent for air and sea
shipment (current law !CAO-TI and IMDG-Code
01.01.2012).
Jump starting
Applies to: ve hicles with plug -in hybrid drive
The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
F ig. 110 Engine co mpartment: connectors for a cha rge r
and jump star t cab le s
The vehicle is equipped with one vehicle battery
and one high-voltage battery .
If the vehicle battery is drained, it can be charged
with a charger or you can jump start the vehicle
using another vehicle's battery in the same way
as a conventional vehicle.
Read the information about charging the vehicle
battery
r:!> page 326 and for jump starting the ve
hicle

Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more diffi
cu lt 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 bulb.
This applies especially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car which you can only reach
through the engine compartment.
Sheet meta l and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, parts must be
correctly taken apa rt and then properly put back
together to help prevent breakage of parts and
..,.

long term damage from water that can enter
housings that have not been properly resea led.
F or your safety, we recommend that you have
your author ized Audi dealer replace any b ulbs for
you, since your dealer has the proper tools, the
correct bulbs and the expertise.
Ga s di sc har ge l amp s (Xe non light s)
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs
replaced by a qua lified technician . Headlights
with Xenon light are identified by the high-volt
age sticker.
LE D hea dlight s*
LED headlights require no maintenance. Please
contact your authorized Audi dealer if a bulb needs to be replaced .
A WARNING
Changing Xenon lamps w ithout the necessa ry
equipment can cause ser ious personal injury .
- Bulbs are pressur ized and can explode when
being changed . Potential risk of injury!
- On vehicles
equipped with gas discharge
bulbs (Xenon l ight) life-threatening injuries
can result from improper handling of the
high-voltage po rtions of such lamps!
- Only you r authorized Aud i dea ler or quali
fied workshop should change the bulbs in
gas dis charge lamps. There are parts with
sharp edges on the openings and on the
bulb ho lders that can cause serious cuts . If
you are uncertain about what to do, have
the work perfo rmed by an authorized Audi
dealer or qualif ied workshop. Serious per
sonal injury may resu lt from improperly per
formed work.
@ Tips
- If you still prefer to rep lace the light bu lbs
yourself, be aware that the engine compart
ment is a hazardous area to work
in¢ .&. in
