Can you help me figure out the 2012 Audi Q5 battery location?

I rented a vehicle on vacation and the battery died. I don’t see anything under the hood. Can you help me figure out the 2012 Audi Q5 battery location?

Sorry to hear that! The 2012
Audi
Q5 battery location is not under the hood—it’s in the trunk, beneath the floor lining.
Audi Q5s are tricky! In most cars, the battery is located under the hood so it makes sense that you looked there.
In the Q5, the actual battery is located in the trunk. You access the compartment by lifting the plastic handle and sliding out the floor lining.
However, the jumpstart points for the Q5 are located apart from the actual engine. The jumpstart points are under the hood. If you need a
jumpstart
, the donor car will connect to your Audi’s battery via the terminals under the hood.
Once you get back safely from your
road trip
, you might be interested in updating your
car insurance
policy to make sure you have the coverage you need for future emergencies The free
Jerry
app can help you tweak your policy, compare rates from top companies, and switch to a cheaper policy with
a few taps

Good luck!
