the  tank  is  full . Do not  try  to  add  more  fuel 
because  fuel  may  spill  out.  In  addition,  the 
expansion  space  in the  fuel  tank  will  be  filled  -
causing  the  fuel  to  overflow  when  it  becomes

scope  of  maintenance  and  repairs  which  can  be 
carried  out  by vehicle  owners. 
Also, safety and 
environmental 
concerns  place  very  strict  limits 
on  the  nature  of  repairs  and  adjustments  to  en
gine  and  transmission  parts  which  an  owner  can  perform . 
Maintenance,  adjustments  and  repairs  usually  re
quire  special  tools,  testing  devices  and  other 
equipment  available  to  specially  trained  work 
shop  personnel  in order  to  assure  proper  per
formance,  reliability  and  safety  of  the  vehicle  and  its  many  systems. 
Improper  maintenance,  adjustments  and  repairs 
can  impair  the  operation  and  reliability  of  your 
vehicle  and  even  void  your  vehicle  warranty . 
Therefore,  proof  of  servicing  in  accordance  with 
the  maintenance  schedule  may  be  a  condition  for  upholding  a  possible  warranty  claim  made  within 
the  warranty  period. 
Above  all , operational  safety  can  be  adversely  af
fected,  creating  unnecessary  risks  for  you  and 
your  passengers. 
If  in  doubt  about  any  servicing,  have  it  done  by 
your  authorized  Audi  dealer  or  any  properly  equipped  and  qualified  workshop.  We  strongly urge  you  to  give  your  authorized  Audi  dealer  the 
opportunity  to  perform  all  scheduled  mainte nance  and  necessary  repairs.  Your dealer  has  the 
facilities,  original  parts  and  trained  specialists  to  keep  your  vehicle  running  properly . 
Performing  limited  maintenance  yourself 
The  following  pages  describe  a  limited  number  of 
procedures  which  can  be  performed  on  your  vehi
cle  with  ordinary  tools,  should  the  need  arise  and 
trained  personnel  be  unavailable.  Before  per
forming  any  of  these  procedures,  always  thor
oughly  read  all  of  the  applicab le text  and careful
ly  follow  the  instructions  given . Always  rigorously 
observe  the

Consumer  information 
A WARNING 
-Serious  personal  injury  may  occur  as  a  result 
of  improperly  performed  maintenance,  ad
justments  or  repairs . 
- Always  be  extremely  careful  when  working 
on  the  vehicle.  Always  follow  commonly  ac
cepted  safety  practices  and  general  com
mon  sense.  Never risk  personal  injury. 
- Do not  attempt  any  of  the  maintenance, 
checks  or  repairs  described  on  the  following  pages  if you  are  not  fully  familiar with  these 
or  other  procedures  with  respect  to  the  ve hicle,  or  are  uncertain  how  to  proceed. 
- Do not  do  any  work  without  the  proper  tools 
and  equipment.  Have  the  necessary  work 
done  by your  authorized  Audi dealer  or  any 
properly  equipped  and  qualified  workshop. 
- The  engine  compartment  of  any  motor  vehi
cle  is a  potentially  hazardous  area.  Never 
reach  into the  area  around  or  touch  the  radi
ator  fan.  It is temperature  controlled  and 
can  switch  on  suddenly  - even  when  the  en
gine  is off  and  the  ignition key has  been  re
moved.  The  radiator  fan  switches  on  auto
matically  when  the  coolant  reaches  a  certain 
temperature  and  will  continue  to  run  until 
the  coolant  temperature  drops. 
- Always  remove  the  ignition key before  any
one  gets  under  the  vehicle. 
-Always  support  your  vehicle  with  safety 
stands  if it  is  necessary  to  work  underneath 
the  vehicle . The jack  supplied  with  the  vehi
cle  is not  adequate  for  this  purpose  and 
could  collapse  causing  serious  personal  in
jury. 
- If  you  must  work  underneath  the  vehicle 
with  the  wheels  on  the  ground,  always  make 
sure  the  vehicle  is on  level  ground,  that the 
wheels  are  always  securely  blocked  and  that 
the  engine  cannot  be  started. 
- Always  make  sure  the  transmission  selector 
lever  (automatic  transmission)  is in  "P" 
(Park  position)  or  Neutral  (manual  transmis-
sion)  and  the  park  brake  is firmly  applied . ..,.
