Maintenance
General
Your vehicle has been des igned to help keep maintenance req uire ­
ments to a mi nimum. However, a ce rta in amoun t of regular ma inte­
nance is still necessary to assure your vehicle's safety, economy and .,_

reliab ility. For deta iled vehicle maintenance cons ult your Warra nty &
Main tenan ce bookle t.
Under difficult operating conditions, for example at extremely low
outside temperatures, in very dusty regions, when towing a trailer
very frequently, etc., some service wo rk shou ld be performed
between the intervals specified. This app lies particu larly to:
• oil changes, and
• cleaning or rep lacing the air fi lter.
<£> For the sake of the environment
By regular ly maintaining your vehicle, you help make sure that emis­
sion standards are mainta ined, t hus mi nimizing adve rse e ffects o n
the environment. •
Important considerations for you and your
vehicle
T he increasing use of electronics, sophisticated fuel injection and
em ission cont rol systems, and t he generally increasing techni cal
complex ity of today's automobiles, have stead ily reduced the scope
of mai ntenan ce and repairs w hich can be ca rried out by ve hicle
owners.
Also , safety and environm ental concerns p lace very strict
limits on the nature of repairs and adjustments to engine and trans­
mission parts wh ich an owner can perform.
Maintenance, adj ustments and repairs usua lly req uire specia l tools,
test ing devices and other eq uipment available to specially t rained
workshop personnel in order to assure proper performance, re li­
ability and safety of the vehicle and its many systems.
Improper maintenance, adjustments and repairs can impair the oper­
ation and reliabili ty of your ve hicle and even void you r vehicle
warranty. Therefore, p roof of servicing in accordance with the main­
t enance schedu le may be a condit ion fo r uphold ing a possible
warranty cla im made w it h in the warranty period .
Safety first
Above all, operational safety can be adversely affected, creating
unnecessary r is ks for you and you r passe ngers.
If in doubt about a ny servic ing, have it done by your authorized Audi
dealer or any other properly eq uipped and qualified works hop. We
st rongly urge you to give you r a utho rized Aud i dealer the opportunity
to perform a ll scheduled maintenance and necessary repairs. Your
