DO-IT-YOURSELF
Fuses
A problem in the electrical system may be
caused by a blown fuse.
Fuses are arranged in a centralized unit. The
unit is located behind a cover at the end of
the dashboard on the left hand side.
The crank handle for manual operation of
the electric sunroof* is clipped on the inside
of the fuse box cover.
Two spare fuses are provided in the row of
fuses on the right.
It is a good idea to keep a supply of spare
fuses on hand. They are available from your
Audi Dealer.

Replacing a fuse
�
WAR N I N G
A fuse with too high amperage
could damage the electrical part
and cause a fire. Do not use a fuse
with a higher amperage than the
fuse being replaced.
·
•
To avoid damaging the electrical
system. turn off all lights and acces­
sories and remove the ignition key
before replacing a fuse.
•
Open the cover of the centralized unit by
inserting a screwdriver in the slot of the
cover and pry it off.
•
Check the fuse listing on the next pages
to find out which fuse belongs to the com­
ponent that has failed.
•
Remove blown fuse with the plastic clip
provided. The clip is located on the holder in
the fuse box.
•
Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the
same
amperage. You can recognize the
blown fuse by the burnt metal strip.
•
Reinstall the fuse box cover.
Notes
•
If a fuse blows repeatedly. do not
keep on replacing it. The cause of
the short circuit or overload must be
found. On no account should fuses
be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin
foil or wire) as this may cause seri­
ous damage elsewhere in the electri­
cal circuit or cause fire.
