Controls and equip­ ment Safety first Vehicle operation
The
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating includes the weight of the basic
vehicle plus full fuel tank, oil and coolant, plus maximum load,
which includes passenger weight (150 lbs/68 kg per designated
seating position) and luggage weight.
Gross Axle Weight Rating
The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum load that can be
applied at each axle of the vehicle~&.
Vehicle capacity weight
The vehicle capacity weight (max. load) is listed either on the
driver's side 8 -pillar or inside the fuel filler flap.
& WARNING
• The actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the front and rear axles
should not exceed the permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
• Exceeding permissible weight ratings can result in vehicle
damage, accidents and personal injury.
0 Note
• The vehicle capacity weight figures apply when the load is
distributed evenly in the vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage compartment, carry the
load as near to the rear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
handling is not impaired.
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible axle loads or the
maximum gross vehicle weight. Always remember that the vehicle's
handling will be affected by the extra load. Therefore, adjust your
speed accordingly.
• Always observe local regulations. •

Operating your vehicle outside the
U.S.A. or Canada
Governmen t regulations in the Un ited States and Canada require
that automobiles meet specific emission regu lations and safety .,_

standards. Therefore, vehicles built for the U.S .A. and Canada differ
from vehicles sold in other countries.
If you plan to take your vehicle outside the continental limits of the
United States or Canada, there is the possibility that
• unleaded fuels for vehicles with catalytic converter may not be
available;
• fuel may have a considerably lower octane rating. Improper fuel
may cause engine damage;
• service may be inadequate due to lack of proper service facilities,
tools or testing equipment;
• replacement parts may not be readily available .
• Navigation systems for vehicles built for the U.S.A. and Canada
will not necessarily work in Europe , and may not work in other coun­
tries outside of North America.
0 Note
Audi cannot be responsible for mechanical damage that could
result from inadequate fuel , service or parts availability .•

Maintenance
General
Your vehicle has been designed to help keep maintenance require­
ments to a minimum. However, a certain amount of regular mainte­
nance is still necessary to assure your vehicle 's safety, economy and
reliability. For detailed vehicle maintenance consult your Mainte­
nance & Warranty booklet .
Under difficult operating conditions, for example at extremely low
outside temperatures, in very dusty regions, etc., some service work
should be performed between the intervals specified . This applies
particularly to:
• oil changes , and
• cleaning or replacing the air filter.
~ For the sake of the environment
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 generally increasing technical
complexity of today's automobiles, have steadily reduced the 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 engine and trans­
mission parts which an owner can perform.
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usually require special tools,
testing devices and other equipment available to specially trained .,_
