ERATURE-----------------------
In addition to this Owner's Manual,
your Audi comes with a Maintenance
booklet, Warranty booklet and for
some models, special supple
ments.
Moreover, depending on the model and
the equipment, there may be additional
instruction booklets delivered with
y our vehicle (for example, Sound
System Operating Instructions).
If you are missing one of these publica
tions, or if you believe that the informa
tion is not complete, contact your au
thorized Audi Dealer for assistance.
2 The
Owner's Manual
and the supplements should be read
carefully and as soon as possible to ac
quaint yourself with your vehicle.
Pay special attention to the chapter en
titled "Vehicle operation". There you
will see how to drive safely and eco
nomicall y, and how to minimize pollu
tion. For
safety reasons please note
also the information regarding
additional accessories, modifi
cations and parts replacement
on page 262.
The other chapters are also important
because correct operation of the ve
hicle -in addition to proper care and
maintenance -serves to maintain the
value of the vehicle. In many cases, it
may also be one of the condi tions for
upholding warranty claims.
