- Make sure the jack* is stable. If the ground
underneath the jack* is slippery or soft, the
jack can slip or sink in - risk of injury!

Accessories,

and

repairs
Always
ask
your dealer
or
specialist retailer
for

advice before purchasing accessories
and
re­
placement parts.
Your
car is
designed
to
offer
a
high standard
of

active and passive safety. For this reason,
we
rec­
ommend that you ask your Audi dealer
for
advice
before fitting accessories
or
replacement parts.
Audi dealers have
the
latest information from
the manufacturer and
can
recommend accesso­
ries and replacement parts which
are
suitable
for

your requirements. They can also answer
any

questions you might have regarding official
regu­

lations.
We recommend you
to
use only Audi accessories
and Audi Genuine Parts. Audi has tested these
products
for
suitability, reliability and safety.
Audi dealers have
the
necessary experience
and

facilities
to
ensure that
the
parts
are
installed
properly.
Although
the
market
is
constantly scrutinised,
Audi
cannot
judge
or
assume responsibility
for

the reliability, safety and suitability
of
non-genu­
ine products
-
even though
in
some instances,
these parts
may
have been approved
by
an
offi­

cially recognised technical testing authority
or

accompanied
by
an official approval certificate.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a direct
ef­

fect on
the
vehicle and/or
the
way
it is
driven

(e.g.
cruise control system
or
electronically-con­
trolled suspension) must
be
approved
for
use
in

your vehicle and bear
the e
mark
(the
European
Union's approval symbol).
If any additional electrical components are fit­
ted which
do not
serve
to
controL
the
vehicLe
it­

self
(for
instance a refrigerator box, laptop
or

ventilator
fan,
etc.), these must bear the C€ mark
(manufacturer conformity declaration
in the Eu­

ropean Union).

A,
WARNING

Never attach accessories (such
as cup
holders
or telephone brackets)
to the
surfaces cover­
ing
the
airbag units
or the
areas around
the

airbags: this could cause injury
if
the airbag
is

triggered.

Modifications
Modifications must always
be
carried
out
accord­
ing
to our
specifications.
Unauthorised modifications
to the
electronic
components, software, wiring
or
data transfer
in

the vehicLe may cause malfunctioning. Due
to the

way
the
electronic components
are
linked togeth­
er
in
networks, other systems
may be
affected
by

the faults. This can seriously impair safety, lead
to excessive wear
of
components,
and
also inva­
lidate
the
type approval
for
your vehicle.
You will appreciate that your Audi dealer cannot
be held liable
for
any damage caused
by
modifi­
cations and/or work performed incorrectly.
We recommend that
all
work should
be
per­
formed
by
an Audi workshop using Audi Genuine

Parts.
