2009 AUDI A4 CABRIOLET oil filter

Cleaning and protection -
----------------
•
High temperatures, as from exposure to intense sunlight, intensify
the corrosive effect particularly when humidity is high as well.
Under certain circumstances,
weekly washing may be necessary.
Under other conditions, a monthly washing and waxing may be
adequate.
After the winter, the
underside of the vehicle should be thoroughly
washed preferably in a professional car wash.
& WARNING
Always read and heed all WARNINGS and the information
~ page 230. •
Automatic car wash
The vehicle can be washed in almost any modern auto­
matic car wash.
The vehicle paint is so durable that the vehicle can normally be
washed without problems in an automatic car wash. However, the
effect on the paint depends to a large extent on the design of the
facility, the filtering of the wash water, the type of wash and care
material , etc. If the paint has a dull appearance after going through
the car wash or is scratched, bring this to the attention of the oper­
ator immediately . If necessary, use a different car wash .
The power top does not require specia l precautions before passing
through a car wash.
However, the car must not be treated with hot
wax after the wash cycle!
The wax could adversely affect the power
top and even damage the fabric over a period of time.
The power top does not have to be washed every time you use a car
wash . The power top can be spared if the car wash facility is
equipped with manually adjustable roof brushes or rollers.
Before going through a car wash, be sure to take the usual precau­
tions such as closing the windows and power top. The factory-fitted antennas for the radio, car phone and navigation system* are all
located inside the vehicle interior.
If you have installed additional accessories on the vehicle
-such as
spoilers, etc. -it is best to ask the car wash operator if these should
be removed.
& WARNING
Always read and heed all WARNINGS and the information
~ page 230. •
Washing the vehicle by hand
A lot of water is needed when washing a vehicle by hand.
- Before you start washing, make sure you have read and
understood the WARNINGS=>
& in "General informa­
tion" on page 230.
- First soak all dried dirt until it is soft, then rinse it off.
- As you clean your vehicle, start with the roof and work
your way down to the bottom, using a sponge, a sponge
glove or a clean brush.
- Rinse the sponge or the sponge glove often, flushing it
clean each time.
- Use special car shampoo only for very persistent dirt.
- Rinse the car thoroughly with water.
- Use a chamois leather to gently wipe the exterior dry.
Use a separate sponge for cleaning the wheels, door sills and other
regions exposed to road dirt. In this way, you wil l not scratch the
paint with coarse particles imbedded in the sponge the next time
you wash the car. ..,.

M ainte nanc e book le t.
Und er diff icult op era ting co nd iti ons, for example at extreme ly low
outsi de temperatures, in very dusty regions, when towing a trailer
very frequent ly, etc ., some service work shou ld be performed
between the intervals specified. This applies particu lar ly 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 s tandards are maintained, thus minimizing adverse effects on
the environment. •
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
The increasing use of electronics, sophisticated fue l injection and
emission control systems, and the generally increasing techn ical
complexity of today's automobiles, have steadily reduced the scope
of maintenance and repairs which can be carried out by veh ic le
owners.
Also , safety and env ir o nment al concerns place very strict
limits on the nature of repairs and adjustmen ts to engine and trans ­
mission parts which an owner can perform.
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usua lly require special tools,
test ing devices and other equipment availab le to spec ial ly trained
workshop personne l in order to assure proper performance, reli ­
abil ity and sa fety of the vehicle and its many systems.
I mproper maintenance, adjustments and repairs can impair the
operation and reliability of your vehicle and even void your vehicle
warranty. Therefore, proof of servicing in accordance with the main­
te nance schedule may be a condit ion fo r upholding a possible
warranty claim made within the warranty period.
Controls . and equip­
ment . Safety first Vehicle operation
Above all, operational safety can be adverse
ly affected, creating
unnecessa ry risks for you and your passengers .
If in doubt about any servicing, have it done by your authorized Audi
dealer or any other properly equipped and qua lified workshop. We
strongly urge you to g ive your authorized Audi dea ler the opportu ­
nity to perform al l scheduled maintenance and necessary repairs.
Your dealer has the fac ilities, original parts and trained spec ia lists
to keep your vehicle running properly.

cable text and carefu lly fo llow the instruct ions given. Always rigor ­
ously observe the
