Battery acid level

Under normal operating conditions the
battery in your Audi is maintenance-free.
At high outside temperatures it is advi-
sable, however, to check the fluid level at
regular intervals through the transparent
battery housing. The fluid level should
always be between the "min" and "max"
marks in each cell.
If the fluid level is below the "min" mark,
let your Audi dealer correct the condition.
WARNING
§
Always shield your eyes and
avoid leaning over the battery when-
ever possible.
§
Do not let battery acid come in
contact with skin, eyes, fabric, or pain-
ted surfaces.
§
If you get battery acid in your
eyes or on your skin, immediately rin-
se with cold water for several minutes
and call a doctor.
§
Do not expose the battery to an
open flame or electric spark. Hydro-
gen gas generated by the battery can
explode and cause personal injury
