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
Working in the engine compartment on
page 316 .
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi dealer
whenever you want to change a bulb .

the booster battery should not be lower
than that of the discharged battery. Use of

(D Note
-Applying a higher voltage booster battery
will cause expensive damage to sensitive electronic components, such as control
units, relays, radio, etc.
- There must be no electrical contact between the vehicles as otherwise current could al
ready start to flow as soon as the positive
(+) terminals 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
negative ground cable to the negative ground
post of the battery manager control unit.
Using jump start cables
Connect the jump start cables in the exact order
described below.

The battery is located to the left in the engine
compartment. The procedure for connecting
jump start cables that is described next is de
signed to help jump start your vehicle.
Vehicle with drained battery:
.. Read the following carefully 9 page 368
.. Set the parking brake and place the se lector
lever in the P position .
.. Turn the ignition and electrical equipment off
in both vehicles .
Connecting positive terminal(+) to positive
terminal (+)
.. To reach the battery terminals, flip the battery
cover cap to the side¢ fig. 303 .
l. Clamp the end of the red jump start cab le to
the terminal

preferably at the ground point, or on the
negative terminal @ on the charging battery
®·
4. Clamp the other end of the black jump start
cable
only to the ground point @ on your
vehicle @c>(D.
5. Route the jump start cables so they cannot
get caught in the moving parts in the engine
compartment.
Starting the engine
6. Start the engine in the vehicle giving the
charge and let it run at idle .
7. Now start the engine in the vehicle with the
dead battery and wait two to three m inutes
until it "runs smoothly" .

If the engine does not start, stop the start ing
procedure after 10 seconds and then repeat
it after approx imately 30 seconds.

Emerg enc y s it uati ons
9. In the ve hicle that is being jump started,
switch the heater fan and rear window de
froster on to reduce any voltage peaks that
may occur when disconnecting the jumper
cables. The headlights must be switched off.
10. With the engines running, remove the cables
i n
reverse order of the way they were instal
l ed. Make sure the cables do not get caught
in mov ing engine components.
11. Sw itch the heater fan and rear w indow de-
froster off.
12. C lose the battery cover .
The battery is vented to the outside so that gases
do not enter the passenger compartment. Make
sure that the connected positive termina l clamps
on the jump start cab le have sufficient contact
with metal.
A WARNING
Follow the warnings and instructions from
the jump start cab le manufacturer to reduce
the risk of ser ious injuries and vehicle dam
age. If you are unsure about anything, call
roads ide ass istance.
- The jump start cables must be long enough
so that the veh icles do not touch.
-
- Route the jump start cables so they cannot
get caught in the moving parts in the engine
compartment.
- Always read and follow the warnings before check ing anything in the engine compart
ment
~page 316.
(D Note
Connecting jump start cables incorrectly can
damage the alternator .
- Always connect the positive terminal(+) to
the positive term inal(+) and the negative
term inal(-) to the negat ive terminal(-) on
the body ground po int, but not the negative
terminal on the battery.
- Make su re the screw plugs on the battery
cells are installed securely. If not, tighten
the plugs before connecting the clamps to
the negat ive termina l on the b attery.
- Please note t hat the connecting p rocess de
scribed below for the jump sta rt cab les is
in-
370 tended for when your vehicle is being jump
started. If you are jump starting another ve
hicle, do not connect the negat ive cab le to
the negative term inal (-) on the dra ined
battery, but rather connect it to a large
metal component that is bolted secure ly to
the engine block, or to the engine block it
self.
If the battery in the vehicle being jump
sta rted is not vented to the outside, there is
a risk of explosion due to hyd rogen gas.
- Make sure that the connected pos itive ter
minal clamps have suff icient contact with
metal.
- Do not use the battery negative terminal fo r
jump starting or a ma lfunction co uld occ ur
in the vehicle electrical system.
Towing with a tow truck
General tips
Your Audi requires special handling for towing.
The following information is to be used by com mercia l tow truck operators who know how to op
erate their equipment safely.
-Never tow your Audi. Towing will cau se dam
age to the engine and t ran smi ssi on.
- Nev er wrap the safet y ch ains or winch cables
aroun d the br ake lines .
- To pr event unne ce ssa ry damag e, your Audi
must be tran sported with a flat be d tru ck .
- To load th e vehicle on to the flat bed , use th e
towing l oop found in the vehicl e tool s and at
t a ch to the front or rear an chorage
.=;,page 371 and ~page 371.
A WARNING
A veh icle being towed is not safe for passen
gers. Never allow anyone to ride in a vehicle
being towed, fo r any reason.

distr ibut ion an d ba lance . This might hap
pen, for exam ple, when heavy compo
nents such as the engine b lock or trans
miss io n are removed.
- When removing heavy components like
t h ese, anc hor vehicle t o hoist o r add corr e
sponding weights to maintain the center of
grav ity. Oth erwise, the ve hicle might ti lt or
s li p off the hois t, causing s eriou s perso na l
lnJUry.
(D Note
- Be awar e of the fo llowing poi nts before lift
i ng t he vehicle:
- The vehicle should never be lifted or
jacked up from underneath the engine oil pan , the transmission housing, the front
or rear axle or the body side members .
This could lead to serious damage.
- To avoid damage to the unde rbody or
chassis frame, a rubber pad must be in
serted between the floor jack and the lift
points.
- Before driv ing over a workshop hoist,
check that the vehicle weight does not
exceed the permissible lifting capacity of
the hoist .
- Before driving over a workshop hoist, en
sure that there is sufficient clearance be
tween the hoist and low parts of the ve
hicle.
