Operating your vehicle
outside the U.S.A. or
Canada
Government regu lations in the United States
and Canada require that automobiles meet
specific emission regulations and safety
standards. Therefore, veh icles built for the
U.S.A . and Canada differ from vehicles sold in
other countries .
If you p lan to take your vehicle outside the
continental limits of the United States or Can­
ada, there is the possibility that:
- unleaded fuels for vehicles with cata lytic
converter may not be available;
- fuel may have a considerably lowe r octane
rating. Improper fuel may cause engine
damage ;
- service may be inadequate due to lack of
proper service facilities, tools or testing
equipment ;
- replacement pa rts may not be readily availa­
ble.
- Navigation systems for vehicles built for the
U.S.A. and Canada will not necessar ily work
in Europe, and may not work in other coun­
tries outside of North America.
(D Note
Audi cannot be responsible for mechanical
damage that could result from inadequate
fuel, service or parts availability.
Audi Service Repair Manuals and Literature

Maintenance
General
Your vehicle has been designed to help keep
maintenance requirements to a minimum.
However, a certain amount of regular mainte­
nance is still necessary to assure your vehicle's
s afety, economy and rel iability. For detailed
vehicle maintenance consult your Warranty &
Maintenance booklet.
Under difficult operating conditions, for ex­
ample at extremely low outside temperatures,
i n very dusty regions , etc., some service work
should be performed between the intervals
specified. This applies particularly to:
- oil changes, and
- cleaning or replacing the air filter.
@ For the sake of the environment
By regu larly maintaining your vehicle, you
help make sure that emission standards
are maintained, thus minimizing adverse
effects on the environment .
' Important considerations for you and
your vehicle
T he increasing use of electron ics , soph isticat­
ed fuel injection and emission control sys­
tems, and the generally increasing technica l
complexity of today's automobiles, have
liJJ,

steadily reduced the scope of maintenance
and repairs which can be carried o ut by vehicle
owners.
Also, safe ty and en vironment al con­
cerns p lace very strict limits on the nature of
repairs and adjustments to engine and trans­
miss io n parts which an owner can perform .
Maintenance, adjustments and repa irs usua lly
require special tools, testing dev ices and oth­
er equipment availab le to specially trained
workshop personne l in order to assure proper
pe rformance, reliab ility and safety of the vehi­
cle and its many systems .
Improper ma intenance, adjustments and re­
pa irs can impair the operation and reliability
of your vehicle and even void your vehicle war­
ranty. Therefore, p roof of servic ing in accord­
ance w ith the maintenance schedule may be a
condition for upholding a poss ible war ran ty
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 serv icing, have it done
by your authorized Audi dealer or any othe r
p roperly equipped and q ualified works hop .
We strong ly urge you to give yo ur auth o rized
Aud i dea ler the opportuni ty to perform all
schedu led maintenance and necessary repairs .
Your dea ler has the facilities, original parts
and tra ined spec ialists to keep your vehicle
running properly.
Performing limit ed ma inten anc e yourself

ber of proced ures which can be pe rformed on
