Always follow the instructions in the op-
OA erating manual.

Hot motor components!
Rotating parts!

The radiator fan can switch on at any
time!

High voltage! The voltage in the high-
voltage system is high enough to cause
fatal injuries. Touching a damaged high-
voltage component can result in a fatal
electric shock.



— The coolant expansion tank cap is equipped
with a seal that must never be removed un-
der any circumstances > page 236. If the
coolant expansion tank is not sealed, con-
tact an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
— The cap on the coolant expansion tank must
never be opened when the coolant is hot.
The cooling system is under pressure.
—To protect your face, hands, and arms from
hot steam or coolant, cover the cap with a
thick cloth when opening.
— All work on the battery or electrical system
in your vehicle can result in injuries, chemi-
cal burns, accidents, or burns. Because of
this, all work must be performed only by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi

ZA WARNING
The voltage in the high-voltage system is high
enough to cause fatal injuries. Touching a
damaged high-voltage component can result
in a fatal electric shock. The components in
the high-voltage system are marked with a
warning label which warns of the high-volt-
age.
— The voltage level in the high-voltage system
is still dangerous and potentially life-threat-
ening when the ignition is switched off.
— Never perform work on orange high-voltage
cables or on high-voltage components. Only
authorized repair facilities that are certified
may perform work on the high-voltage sys-
tem.

The hood latch is not locked correctly. Stop im-
mediately and close the hood.

ZA\ WARNING
— Never open the hood when there is steam or
coolant escaping from the motor compart-

be burned. Wait until no steam or coolant is
escaping.
— For safety reasons, the hood must always be
latched securely while driving. Because of
this, always check the hood after closing it
to make sure it is latched correctly. The hood
is latched if the front corners cannot be lift-
