Z\ WARNING
Improper fueling procedures and improper
handling of fuel can lead to explosions, fires,
severe burns, and other injuries.
— Do not smoke. Keep away from open flames.
— The ignition must be switched off when re-
fueling.
— Mobile devices, radio devices, and other ra-
dio equipment should always be switched
off when refueling. Electromagnetic rays
could cause sparks and start a fire.
— If you do not insert the fuel pump nozzle all
the way into the filler tube, then fuel can
leak out. Spilled fuel can ignite and start a
fire.
— Never get into the vehicle when refueling. If
there is an exceptional situation where you
must enter the vehicle, close the door and
touch a metal surface before touching the
fuel pump nozzle again. This will reduce the
risk of electrostatic discharge that can cause
flying sparks. Sparks can start a fire when
refueling.

ZA\ WARNING
Transporting fuel containers inside the vehicle
is not recommended. Fuel could leak out of
the container and ignite, especially during an
accident. This can cause explosions, fires, and
injuries.
— If you must transport fuel in a fuel contain-
er, note the following:
— Always place the fuel container on the
ground before filling. Never fill the fuel
container with fuel while it is inside or on
the vehicle. Electrostatic discharge can oc-
cur while refueling and the fuel vapors
could ignite.

Accessories and technical changes

Service Facility, who will perform the work ac-
cording to Audi factory specifications. Only
Audi Genuine Parts are used when Audi ex-
perts perform repair or service procedures.
Failure to use Audi Genuine Parts or Audi Gen-
uine Accessories or performing repairs incor-
rectly may result in severe vehicle damage,
such as corrosion.
Accessories and parts
Consult with an authorized Audi dealer or author-
ized Audi Service Facility before purchasing ac-
cessories or replacement parts. We recommend
that you have your vehicle serviced by an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty and that Audi Genuine Parts and Audi Genuine

Audi does not endorse the use of products and
accessories that it has not evaluated, even if the
product is approved by a certified testing agency

ZA WARNING
— Installing unapproved accessories or incor-
rect replacement parts can cause vehicle
damage and can increase the risk of an acci-
dent.
— Never attach accessories, such as telephone
holders or cup holders, to the airbag covers
or within the airbag deployment zone, be-
cause this increases the risk of injury if the
airbag deploys.
— Do not use a license plate bracket different
from the one installed by the factory in the
front of the vehicle, because it may impair
the function of some systems.

@) Note
A correctly-installed exterior antenna is re-
quired for operating radio equipment in the
vehicle. Otherwise, the increased electromag-
netic waves can cause malfunctions in the ve-
hicle. Observe the regulations in the country
