CARE---------------------------------------------------
Maintenance
Yo ur vehicle has been designed to help
keep maintenance requirements to a mini­
mum.
However. a certa in amount of regular main­
tenance is still necessary to assure your ve­
hic le's safety, economy and reliabili ty.
c£> By regularly maintaining your
vehicle, you help make sure that
emission standards are maintai ned,
thus minimizing adverse effects on
the envir onment.
For detailed vehicle maintenance consult
your Maintenance booklet.
Under difficult operating condi­
tions, for example at extremely low out­
side temperatures, in very dusty regions,
when towing a trailer very frequently, etc.,
some service work should be performed
between the intervals specified.
This applies particularly to:
• oil changes, and
• cleaning or replacing the air filter.
228 Important
considerations for
you and your vehicle:
The increasing use of electr onics, sophisti­
cated fuel injection and emission control
systems, and the generally increasing tech­
nical complexity of today's automobiles,
have steadily reduced the scope of mainte­
nance and repairs which can be carried out
by vehicle owners. Also, safety and en­
vironmental concerns place very strict
limi ts on the nature of repairs and adjust­
ments to engine and transmission parts
which an owner can perform . Main
tenance, adjustments and repairs usu­
ally require special tools, testing devices
and other equipment available to specially
trained workshop personnel in order to as­
sure proper performance, reliability and
safety of the vehicle and its many systems.
Impr oper maintenan ce, adjustments and
repairs can impair the operation and reliabil­
ity of your vehicle and even void your ve­
hicle warranty. Therefore, proof of servicing
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule may be a condition for upholding
a possible warranty claim made within the
warranty period.
Above all, operational safety can be ad­
versely affected, creating unnecessary
risks for you and your passengers.

Spark plugs
Spark plugs are replaced during the Audi
scheduled Maintenance Service.
If you have to replace the spark plugs be­
tween the Audi Maintenance services, be

• Engine, spark plugs and the ignition sys­
tem are matched to each other. To avoid
faulty operation or engine damage, use only
Original Audi spark plugs. It is especially im­
portant to note the number of electrodes on
