Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
The increasing use of electronics, sophisticated fuel injection and

complexity of today's automobi les, have steadi ly reduced the scope
of maintenance and repa irs which can be carried out by vehicle
owners.
Al so, sa fety a nd e nvironment al concerns p lace very strict
limi ts on the na ture of repairs a nd adjustments to engine and trans ­
mission parts which an owner can perform.
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usually require special tools,
testing dev ices and other equipment ava ilable to specially trained
workshop personnel in order to assure proper performance, reli ­
ability and safety of the vehicle and its many systems.
Improper maintenance, adjustments and repairs can impair the

warranty claim made within the warranty period. Above all, operational safety can be adversely affected, creating
unnecessary r isks for you and your passengers .

dea ler or any other properly equipped and qualified workshop. We
strongly urge you to give your authorized Audi dealer the opportu­
nity to perform all scheduled maintenance and necessary repairs.
