Maintenance
General
Your vehicle has been designed to help keep
maintenance requirements to a minimum. How­
ever, a certain amount of regular maintenance is
still necessary to assure your vehicle's safety,
economy and reliability . For detailed vehicle
maintenance consult your Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet .
Under difficult operating conditions, for exam­
ple at extremely low outside temperatures, in
very dusty regions, when towing a trailer very fre­
quently, etc. , some service wo rk shou ld be per­
fo rm ed between the intervals specified. This ap­
plies particularly to:
- oil changes , and
- cleaning or replac ing the a ir filter .
@ For the sake of the environment
By regularly maintain ing your vehicle, you
help make sure that em iss ion standards are
maintained, thus minimizing adverse effects
on the enviro nment .
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
The increasing use of electronics, sophisticated
fuel injection and emission control systems, and
the generally increasing technica l complexity of
.,,.

u. co .... N
" N .... 0 0 :c ' today's automobiles, have steadily reduced the
scope of maintenance and repairs which can be
carried out by veh icle owners.
Al so , sa fet y a nd
en vironmental
concerns place very strict limits
on the nature of repairs and adjustments to en­
g ine and transm ission parts wh ich a n owner can
perform .
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usually re­
qu ire special tools, test ing devices and other
equ ipment available to specially trained work ­
shop personnel in order to assure proper per­
formance, re liability a nd safety of the veh icle and
its many systems .
Improper maintenance, adjustments and repairs
can impair the operation and reliab il ity of your
ve hicle and even void your veh icle warranty .
Therefo re, proof of se rvicing in accordance w ith
the ma intenance schedule may be a condition fo r
upho ld ing a possib le warranty claim made within
the warranty period.
Above all , ope rational safety can be adversely af­
fected, creating unnecessa ry risks fo r yo u and
your passengers.
I f in do ubt about any servicing, have it done by
your author ized Audi dealer or any other prope rly
eq uipped and qua lified workshop. We strongly
u rge yo u to g ive your author ized Audi dealer the
opportunity to perform a ll scheduled mainte ­
nance and necessary repairs. Your dealer has the
facilities, original parts and trained specialists to keep your veh icle running properly .
Pe rforming limit ed maint enanc e yourself

procedures which can be performed on your ve hi­
cle with ordinary tools, should the need arise and
trained personnel be unavailable. Before per­
forming any of these procedures, always thor­
oug hly read a ll of the app licable text and careful­

with the wheels on the ground, always make
sure the vehicle is on level ground, that the
wheels a re always sec urely blocked and that
the engine cannot be started.

Attempting to work on electron ic components
and the software used w ith them ca n cause ma l­
functions . Because of the way electron ic compo­
n ents are inte rconnected with each other, such
malfunct ions can also have an adve rse effect on
