Maintenance
General
Your vehicle has been designed to help keep
maintenance requirements to a minimum. How­
ever, a certain amount of regular maintenance is
still necessary to assure your vehicle's safety,
economy and reliability . For detailed vehicle
maintenance consult your Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet .
Under difficult operating conditions, for exam­
ple at extremely low outside temperatures, in
very dusty regions, etc., some service work shou ld be performed between the intervals speci ­
fied. This applies particularly to:
- oil changes , and
- cleaning or replac ing the a ir filter .
@) For the sake of the environment
By regularly maintaining your vehicle, you
help make sure that em iss ion standards are
maintained, thus min imizing adverse effects
on the environment .
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
The increasing use of electronics, soph isticated
fuel injection and emission control systems, and
the genera lly increasing technica l complexity of
today's automobiles, have steadily reduced the
.,,.

scope of maintenance and repairs which can be
carried out by vehicle owners.
Al so, sa fety a nd
en vir onment al
concerns place very strict limits
on the nature of repairs and adjustments to en­
g ine and transm ission parts wh ich an owner can
perform .
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usually re­
qu ire special tools, test ing devices and other
equ ipment available to specially trained work­
shop personnel in order to assure proper per ­
formance, rel iability and safety of the veh icle and
its many systems .
Improper maintenance, adjustments and repairs
can impair the operation and reliability of your
veh icle and even void your vehicle warranty .
Therefore, proof of servicing in accordance with
the ma intenance sc hedule may be a condition for
upho ld ing a possib le wa rranty claim made within
the warranty period.
Above all, operational safety can be adversely af­
fected, creating unnecessa ry risks fo r you and
your passenger.
If i n doubt about any servicing, have it done by
your author ized Audi dealer or any other properly
equ ipped and qua lified workshop. We strongly
urge yo u to g ive your author ized Audi dealer the
opportunity to perform a ll scheduled ma inte­
nance and necessary repairs. Your dealer has the
facilities, origina l parts and trained specialists to
keep your vehicle running properly .

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 mod ificat ions.
This will help ensure that vehicle function, per­
formance and safety are not impaired
c> ,&.
Attempting to work on e lectronic components
and the software used with 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 reduct ion
in the operational safety of your veh icle and an
in creased wea r of ve hicle pa rts
c> ,& .
Author ized Audi dealers w ill perform this work in
a profess ional and competent manner or, in spe ­
cial cases, refer you to a professional company
that spec ializes in such modifications.
.&_ WARNING
Improper repairs and modifications can
change the way vehicle systems work and
cause damage to the vehicle and serious per­
sonal injury.
{Q) Note
If emergency repa irs must be performed else ­
where, have the vehicle examined by an au­
t horized A udi dealer as soon as possible.
