Technical Modifications

and the software used with them can cause
malfunctions. Because of the way electronic
components are interconnected with each
other, such malfunctions can also have an ad
verse affect on other systems that are not di

a substantial reduction in the operational
safety of your vehicle and an increased wear of
ve hicle parts ¢

Author ized Audi dealers will perform th is
wo rk in a professiona l and competent manner
or, in special cases, refer you to a professional
company that specializes in such modifica
tions .

Improper repairs and modifications can
change the way vehicle systems work and
cause damage to the vehicle and serious
