Maintenance
General
Your vehicle has been designed to help ke ep maintenance require
ments to a mi nim um .
Ho weve r, a certain a mount of regu lar maintenance is still necessary
to assure your vehicle's safety, economy and reliability.
For detailed vehicle maintenance consult your Warranty
& Main te
nance booklet.
Under d iffi cult op erating cond ition s, for example at extremely low
outside temperatures, in very dusty regions, when tow ing a trailer
very frequently, etc., some service work shou ld be performed
between the intervals specified. This app lies particularly to :
• oil changes, and
• clean ing or replac ing the air filter .
By regularly ma intaining 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 general ly increasing technical
complexity of today's automobi les, have steadily reduced the scope
of maintenance and repairs which can be carried out by vehicle
owners .
Also , safety and environm ental concerns p lace very s trict
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,
t esting devices and other equipment availab le to special ly trained
workshop personne l in order to assure proper performance, reli
abi lity and safety of the vehicle and its many systems .
I mproper maintenance, adjustments and repa irs can impa ir the
operation and re liability of your vehicle and even void your vehic le
wa rranty. Therefore, proof of se rvic ing in accordance w ith the ma in
tenance schedule may be a condition for upholding a possible
war ranty claim made within the warranty period.
Above all, operational safety can be adverse ly affected, creating
unnecessary risks for you and your passengers .
I f in doubt about any servicing, have it done by your authori zed Audi
dea ler or any other properly equipped and qualified workshop . We
strongly urge you to give your authorized Audi dealer the opportu
nity to perform all schedu led maintenance and necessary repairs.
Your dealer has the facilities, origina l parts and trained special ists
to keep your vehicle running proper ly.
