reliability. For detailed vehicle maintenance consult your Warranty &
Maintenance book let.
Und er di ffi cult ope rating cond ition s, for example at extremely low
outside temperatures, in very dusty regions, etc ., some service work
should be performed between the intervals specified. This app lies
particularly to:
• oil changes, and
• cleaning or replacing the air filter.
By regularly maintaining your vehicle, you help make sure that emis­
sion standards are maintained, thus minimizing adverse effects on
the environment. •
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
The increasing use of electronics, sophisticated fuel injection and
emission control systems, and the general ly increasing technical
complexity of today's automobi les, have steadi ly reduced the scope
of maintenance and repa irs which can be carried out by vehicle
owners.
Al so, sa fety a nd e nvironment al concerns p lace very strict
limi ts on the na ture of repairs a nd adjustments to engine and trans ­
mission parts which an owner can perform.
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usually require special tools,
testing dev ices and other equipment ava ilable to specially trained
workshop personnel in order to assure proper performance, reli ­
abil ity and safety of the vehicle and its many systems.
Improper maintenance, adjustments and repairs can impair the
ope ration and re liability of your vehic le and even void your vehic le
warranty. Therefore, proof of servicing in accordance with the main­
tenance schedu le may be a condition for upholding a pos sible
warranty claim made within the warranty period. Above all, operational safety can be adversely affected, creating
unnecessary r isks for you and your passengers .
If in doubt about any servicing, have it done by your authorized Audi
dea ler or any other properly equipped and qualified workshop. We
strongly urge you to give your authorized Audi dealer the opportu­
nity to perform all scheduled maintenance and necessary repairs.
Your dealer has the fac ilities, origina l parts and trained spec ial ists
to keep your vehicle running proper ly.

• If items other than genuine Audi spare par ts, add-on equipment
and accessory items are used or if repair work is not performed
according to specified methods, this can resu lt in severe damage to
your vehicle 's engine and body (such as corrosion) and adverse ly
affect your vehicle's warranty .
• The innovative aluminium concept of your Audi TI means that all
servicing, repairs or other work on the vehicle body must be carried
out exclusively by an Audi workshop .
• If emergency repa irs must be performed elsewhere, have the
vehic le examined by an authorized Audi dealership as soon as
possible.
• The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage which occurs

Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when technical
mo difications are made.
Always consult an authorized Audi dealer b efore starting work on
any modifications .
This will help ensure that vehicle function, performance and safety are not impaired ~
&-
Attempting to work on e lectronic components and the software
used with them can cause malfunctions. Because of the way e lec­
tronic components are interconnected with each other, such malfunctions can also have an adverse affect on other systems that
are not directly involved. This means that you risk both a substantial
reduction in the operational safety of your vehic
le and an increased
wear of vehicle parts~
&-
Authorized Aud i dealers will perform this work in a professiona l and
competent manner or, in special cases, refer you to a professiona l
company that special izes in such modifications.
