For the sake of the environment
Because of the problem of proper disposal
of a battery, we recommend your author-
ized Audi dealer change the batte ry for
you . Batter ies contain s ulfuric ac id and
lead and must always be disposed of prop-
erly in compliance with all environmenta l
reg ulations. Disposing of vehicle batteries
improperly is very dangerous to the envi-
ronment. Make sure that the removed bat-
tery ca nnot overbalance, otherwise sulfu-
ric acid might escape!
