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 .

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
