___ C_ o_n_ s_ u_m _ e_ r_ ln_ f_ o _r _m _ a_ t_ i_o _n ______________________________________________ _
These dealers also have the necessary facilities, tools and trained
specialists to install the parts and accessories properly.
& WARNING
Using the wrong spare parts non-approved accessories can cause
serious personal injury.
• Use only accessories expressly approved by Audi and genuine
Audi spare parts
• These parts and accessories have been specially designed to
be used on your vehicle.
• Never install accessories such as telephone cradles or
beverage holders on airbag covers or within the airbag deploy­
ment zones. Doing so will increase the risk of injury if airbags are
triggered in an accident!
• Before you check anything in the engine compartment, always
read and heed all WARNINGS=>
page 217.
0 Note
• If items other than genuine Audi spare parts, add -on equipment
and accessory items are used or if repair work is not performed
according to specified methods, this can result in severe damage to
your vehicle's engine and body (such as corrosion) and adversely affect your vehicle's warranty.
• If emergency repairs must be performed elsewhere, have the
vehicle examined by an authorized Audi dealership as soon as
possible.
• The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage which occurs
due to failure to comply with these stipulations .•
Installing/replacing a sound system
If you wish to install a radio or replace the factory installed radio,
please note the following: The
factory installed radio connectors are designed for genuine
Audi radios. When installing a different radio, difficulties could arise
such as :
- the radio may not fit into the space provided
- the electrical connections may not be compatible
- different connector terminals may be needed .
Therefore, we recommend that you have your authorized Audi
dealer install or replace the radio .
They are the most familiar with the technical features of your
vehicle. They also offer Genuine Audi Radios with the necessary
installation components and instructions.
& WARNING
Improperly installing a radio could cause a short circuit and an
electrical fire. •
Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when technical
modifications are made.
Always consult an authorized Audi dealer before starting work on
any modifications.
This will help ensure that vehicle function, performance and safety
are not impaired=> &.
Attempting to work on electronic components and the software
used with them can cause malfunctions. Because of the way elec­
tronic components are interconnected with each other, such
malfunctions can also have an adverse affect on other systems that
are not directly involved. This means that you risk both a substantial
reduction in the operational safety of your vehicle and an increased
wear of vehicle parts => & . .,_

_______________________________________________ C _o_ n _ s_u _ m_ e_ r_l_n _f_o _ r_ m_ a_ t _i _o _ n __ PII
Authorized Audi dealers will perform this work in a professional and
competent manner or, in special cases, refer you to a professional
company that specializes in such modifications.
& WARNING
Improper repairs and modifications can change the way vehicle
systems work and cause serious personal injury.
0 Note
If emergency repairs must be performed elsewhere, have the
vehicle examined by an authorized Audi dealership as soon as
possible. •
