Fuses are installed in various locations in your vehicle.
The following information only lists fuses
that you can change yourself. To have other fuses
changed, contact an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility. The following table
does not list fuse locations that are not used.
A fuse that has blown will have metal strips that
have burned through.
The fuses are located in the footwell under the
footrest (left-hand drive vehicle) (1) or behind the
cover (right-hand drive vehicle) (2). Additional
fuses are located on the front side of the cockpit
(driver's side) (C) and under the left cover in the
luggage compartment (D).
- Switch the ignition and all electrical equipment
off.
- Check the table that follows to see which fuse
belongs to the affected equipment.
- Remove the screwdriver and the reversible Torx
bit from the vehicle tool kit.
- Remove the footrest or the corresponding cover.
- Remove the colored plastic clip from the fuse panel, if present.
- Remove the clip from the rear side of the cover
(C).
- Remove the fuse using the clip.
- Replace the blown fuse only with a fuse that
has the same amp rating.
- Reinstall the plastic bracket, if present.
- Reattach the footrest or the cover.

WARNING
Do not repair fuses and never replace a blown
fuse with one that has a higher amp rating.
This can cause damage to the electrical system
and increases the risk of fire.
Note
If a new fuse burns out again shortly after you
have installed it, have the electrical system
checked as soon as possible by an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
