Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when tech­
nical modifications are made .
Always consult an authorized Audi dealer before
starting work on any modificat ions.
This will he lp ensure that vehicle function, per ­
formance and safety are not impaired
c> &. .
Attempting to work on e lectronic components
and the software used w ith them can cause mal­
functions. Because of the way electronic compo ­
nents are interconnected with each other, such
malfunct ions can also have an adverse effect on
other systems that are not directly involved. This
means that you risk both a substantial reduction
in the operational safety of your veh icle and an
i n creased wea r of ve hicle parts
c> ,&. .
Author ized Audi dealers w ill perform this work in
a profess io nal and competent manner or, in spe ­
cial cases, refer you to a p rofessional company
that spec ializes in such modificat ions.
.&_ WARNING
Improper repa irs and modificat ions can
c hange the way veh icle systems work and
c ause damage to the veh icle and ser ious per ­
sonal injury.
