Operating your vehicle
outside the U.S.A. or

and Canada require that automobiles meet
specific emission regulations and safety
standards. Therefore, veh icles built for the

other countries .

continental limits of the United States or Can­
ada, there is the possibility that:
- unleaded fuels for vehicles with cata lytic

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 North America .
(D Note
Audi cannot be responsible for mechanical
damage that could result from inadequate
fuel, service or parts availability.
