286 Consumer Information
Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when technical modifications are made .
Always consult an authorized Audi dealer be­
fore starting work on any modifications.

performance and safety are not impaired

Attempting to work on electronic components
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
rectly involved. This means that you risk both
a substantial reduction in the operational
safety of your vehicle and an increased wear of
ve hicle parts ¢
A:,..
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 .
