Battery replacement
The new battery must have the same specifica-
tions and dimensions as the original equipment
battery.
Intelligent energy management in your vehicle is
responsible for distributing the electrical energy
throughout your vehicle Q page 92. The intelli-
gent energy management system will keep the
engine battery charged better than vehicles with-
out this system . To make sure the additional
electrical energy is available once again after you
have
changed the battery, we recommend that
you install batteries of the same type and manu-
facture only (the same as those installed at the
time your vehicle was delivered). Specificati ons
are listed on the battery housing. Your author-
ized dealer must code the battery in the energy
management system to enable you to use the en-
ergy management functions correctly after re-
placing the battery .
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 switched
off.
CD Note
Make
sure the ventilation hose on the side of
the battery is connected, otherwise fumes or
battery acid can leak out.
@ For the sake of the environment
Because
of the prob l em of proper disposal of
a battery, we recommend your authorized
Audi dealer change the battery for you. Bat-
teries contain sulfuric acid and lead and must
always be disposed of properly in compliance
with all
environmental regulations. Disposing
of vehicle batteries improperly is very danger-
ous to the environment.

Windshield washer
system
Fig . 190 Engine compartment : washer fluid reservoir cap
The windshield washer reservoir W contains the
cleaning so lution for the windshield and the
headlight washer system* Q page 238, fig. 184.

To reduce the risk of lime scale deposits on the
spray nozzles, use clean water with low amounts
of calcium. Always add window cleaner to the wa-
ter. When the outside temperatures are cold, an
anti-freezing
agent should be added to the water
so that it does not freeze.
CD Note
- The
concentration of anti-freezing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
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-
t ives to the washer fluid.
-
Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint so lvents, because this can damage the
paint.
