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 .

A WARNING
--
- Ser ious personal injury may occur as a result
of improperly performed maintenance, ad­
justments or repairs .
- Always be extremely careful when work ing
on the vehicle . Always follow commonly ac­
cepted safety practices and general com­ mon sense. Never risk pe rsonal inj ury.
- Do not attempt any of the maintenance,
checks or repairs described on the following pages if you are not fu lly famil iar with these
or other proced ures with respect to the ve­
h icle, or are uncerta in how to pro ceed.
- Do not do any work without the proper tools
and eq uipment. Have the necessary wo rk
done by your authorized Audi dealer or an­
other proper ly equipped and qualified work­
shop.
- 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
g ine is off . The radiator fan switches on au­
tomatically when the coolant reaches a cer­
tain tempe rature and will cont inue to run
until the coolant temperature d rops.
- Always sw itch off the ignition before anyone
gets under the vehicle.
- Always support your veh icle with safety
stands if it is necessary to work underneath
the vehicle. The jack suppl ied with the veh i­
cle is no t adequate for this pu rpose and
could collapse caus ing serious personal in­
jury.
- I f you must wor k unde rneath 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.

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.
