Audi A6 Typ 4G: Vehicle battery
The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt battery in your vehicle.
Not running the vehicle for long periods of time
If you do not drive your vehicle for several days or weeks, electrical equipment is gradually scaled back or switched off. This reduces energy use and ensures the vehicle will be able to start after long periods of time. Some convenience functions, such as interior lighting or power seat adjustment, may not be available under certain circumstances. These convenience functions will be available again once you switch the ignition on and start the engine.
Even when electrical equipment is switched off, the equipment can still drain the vehicle battery if the vehicle is not driven for long periods of time. Deep draining results in a chemical reaction that destroys the inside of the vehicle battery.
The vehicle battery must be charged every month to reduce the risk of this happening.
Contact an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility for more information.
Winter operation
Cold weather places higher demands on the vehicle battery. This results in reduced starting ability.
Have the vehicle battery checked by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility before the cold time of year.
