& WARNING
•
The actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the front and rear axles
should not exceed the permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
• Exceeding permissible weight ratings can result in vehicle
damage, accidents and personal injury.
0 Note
• The vehicle capacity weight figures apply when the load is
distributed evenly in the vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage compartment, carry the
load as near to the rear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
handling is not impaired.
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible axle loads or the
maximum gross vehicle weight. Always remember that the vehicle's
handling will be affected by the extra load. Therefore, adjust your
speed accordingly.
• Always observe local regulations.•
Dimensions
The specifications refer to the basic model. Differences may occur
depending on the model type and options ordered, for example, tire
sizes.
0 Note
When driving up steep ramps, on rough roads, over curbs, etc. it is
important to remember that some parts of your vehicle, such as
spoilers or exhaust system components, may be close to the
ground. Be careful not to damage them. •

Maintenance
General
Your vehicle has been designed to help keep maintenance require­
ments to a minimum.
However, a certain amount of regular maintenance is still necessary
to assure your vehicle's safety, economy and reliability.
For detailed vehicle maintenance consult your Warranty
& Mainte­
nance booklet.
Under difficult operating conditions, for example at extremely low
outside temperatures, in very dusty regions, when towing a trailer
very frequently, etc., some service work should be performed
between the intervals specified. This applies particularly to:
• oil changes, and
• cleaning or replacing the air filter.
ci> For the sake of the environment
By regularly maintaining 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 generally increasing technical
complexity of today's automobiles, have steadily reduced the scope
of maintenance and repairs which can be carried out by vehicle
owners.
Also, safety and environmental concerns place very strict
limits on the nature of repairs and adjustments to engine and trans­
mission parts which an owner can perform.
Controls and equip­
ment Safety first Vehicle operation
Maintenance, adjustments and repairs usually require special tools,
testing devices and other equipment available to specially trained
workshop personnel in order to assure proper performance, reli­ ability and safety of the vehicle and its many systems.
Improper 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 tenance schedule may be a condition for upholding a possible
warranty claim made within the warranty period.
Above all, operational safety can be adversely affected, creating unnecessary 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 qualified workshop. We
strongly urge you to give your authorized Audi dealer the opportu­
nity to perform all scheduled maintenance and necessary repairs.
Your dealer has the facilities, original parts and trained specialists
to keep your vehicle running properly .
Performing limited maintenance yourself
The following pages describe a limited number of procedures which
can be performed on your vehicle with ordinary tools, should the
need arise and trained personnel be unavailable. Before performing
any of these procedures, always thoroughly read all of the appli­
cable text and carefully follow the instructions given. Always rigor­
ously observe the
WARNINGS provided.
Before you check anything in the engine compartment, always read
and heed all WARNINGS=>
& and=> & in "Working in the engine
compartment" on
page 224.
& WARNING
• Serious personal injury may occur as a result of improperly
performed maintenance, adjustments or repairs.

& WARN ING (continued )
• Always be extremely careful when working on the vehicle.
Alway s follow commonly a ccepted safety practices and general
c ommon sen se . Never risk per sonal injury .
• Do not attempt any of the maintenance, checks or repairs
described on the following pages if you are not fully familiar with
the se or other procedures with re spect to the vehicle , or are uncer ­
tain how to proceed .
• Do not do any work without the proper tools and equipment.
Have the necessary work done by your authorized Audi dealer or
another properly equipped and qualified work shop .
• The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially
hazardous area . Never reach into the a rea around or touch the
radiator fan. It is temperature controlled and can switch on
suddenly · even when the engine is off and the ignition key has
been removed . The radiator fan switches on automatically when
the coolant reaches a certain temperature and will continue to run
until the coolant temperature drops .
• Always remove the ign ition key before anyone gets under the
vehicle .
• Always support your vehicle with safety stands if it is neces ­
sary to work underneath the vehicle. The jack supplied with the
vehicle is not adequate for this purpose and could collap se
c ausing serious personal injury .
• If you must work underneath the vehicle with the wheel s on
the ground , always make sure the vehicle is on level ground , that
the wheels are always securely blocked and that the engine c annot be started .
• Always make sure the tr ansmission selecto r lever (automatic
transmission ) is in "P" (Park position ) (automatic transmission ) or
Neutral (manual transmi ssion) and the hand brake is firmly
applied .
W For the sake of the environment
• Cha nging t he en gine setti ngs will adversely a ffec t emi ssio n
l evels. This is detrimenta l to the environment and increases fuel
consumptio n.
• Always o bse rve enviro nmenta l regu lations when dis posing of
o ld eng ine o il, used brake flu id, d irty eng ine coola nt, spe nt batter ies
or worn out tires .
• Undeployed airbag modules and pretensioners might be classi ­
fied as Pe rchlorate Mate rial -specia l handl ing may apply, see

Installing /replacing a sound system
If you wish to install a radio or replace the factory installed radio ,
please note the following :
Controls and equip­
ment Safety first Vehicle operation
The factory insta
lled radio connectors are designed for genuine
Audi radios. When install ing a different radio, difficu lties 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 dea ler instal l or replace the radio.
They are the most fami liar with the technical features of your
vehic le . They also offer Genuine Audi Radios with the necessary
installa tion components and instructions .
& WARNING
Improperly in stall ing a r adio could cau se a s hort circ uit and an

Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when technical
mo difications are made.
Always consult an authorized Audi dea ler b efore starting work on
any modifications.
This will help ensure that vehic le function, perfo rmance and safe ty
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 operat ional safety of your vehicle and an increased
wear of vehicle par ts
