WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi SQ8, 2024 Audi Q8, 2023 Audi SQ8, and 2023 Audi Q8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
It is safe to assume that everyone has been shocked at one time or another when coming into contact with a metal object. The reason for this is the build-up of static electricity in the human body. This charge can cause malfunctions when contacting the electrical components for the steering gear.
-- Touch a grounded object, for example, a water pipe or a vehicle hoist, before working on electrical components. Do not touch the connector terminals.
