Tips
Only charge the battery using the connections
in the luggage compartment.
Replacing the battery
Have the battery replaced by an authori zed Audi
dealer or authorized Service Facility.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent ener-
gy management system for distributing electrici-
ty c> page 87. The battery charges better in
vehicles with the energy management system
than in vehicles without the system . To ensure
that the additional power is available after re-
placing the battery, replacing with the same type
of battery from the same manufacturer (like the
battery that was delivered with the vehicle) is
recommended. An authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility must code the bat-
tery in the energy management system so that
the energy management functions can be used
correctly again after the battery is replaced.
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 sw itched
off .
CD
Note
- Vehicles with, for examp le, the Start/Stop
system• are equipped with a special deep
cycle battery (such an AGM or an EFB bat-
tery). Installing a different type of battery
can cause problems in the vehicle electrical
system. When replacing the vehicle battery,
always install one with the same specifica-
tions as the orig inal battery .
- Make sure that the gas venting hose is al-
ways connected to the orig inal opening on
the battery side. Otherwise gasses or bat-
tery acid could leak out.
Checking and Filling
- Battery mounts and clamps must always be
secured correctly.
- Read and follow the warnings under
c> page 2 31, Working on the battery
before
performing any work on the battery .

contains the wind-
shield washer fluid. The reservoir capacity is
found in c>page277 .
To reduce the risk of lime scale deposits on the
spray no zzles, use clean water with low amounts
of calcium. Always add window cleaner to the wa-
ter . When the outside temperatures are cold , an
anti-freez ing agent should be added to the water
so that it does not freeze.
CD
Note
- The concentration of anti-freez ing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operat ing
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. .,.
