Accessories,
replacement parts and
repairs
It is best to consult an authorised Audi dealer
before purchasing accessories and replacement
parts or having any repairs carried out.
Your car is designed to offer a high standard of
active and passive safety. For this reason, we rec
ommend that you ask your Audi dealer for advice
before fitting accessories or replacement parts.
This is also very important if body repairs are re
quired. Audi dealers have full information on the
manufacturer-approved repair methods and can
recommend suitable accessories and spare parts.
They can also give advice regarding official re
quirements for the vehicle.
We recommend you to use only Audi accessories
and Audi Genuine Parts. Audi has tested these
products for suitability, reliability and safety.
Audi dealers have the necessary experience and
facilities to ensure that the parts are installed
properly.
Although the market is constantly scrutinised,
Audi cannot judge or assume responsibility for
the reliability, safety and suitability of non-genu
ine products -even though in some instances,
these parts may have been approved by an offi
cially recognised technical testing authority or
accompanied by an official approval certificate.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a direct ef
fect on the vehicle and/or the way it is driven
(e.g. cruise control system or electronically-con
trolled suspension) must be approved for use in
your vehicle and bear thee mark (the European
Union's approval symbol).
If any additional electrical components are fit
ted which do not serve to control the vehicle it
self (for instance a refrigerator box, Laptop or
ventilator fan, etc.), these must bear the CE: mark
(manufacturer conformity declaration in the Eu
ropean Union). A
WARNING
Never attach accessories (such as cup holders
or telephone brackets) to the surfaces cover
ing the airbag units or the areas around the
airbags: this could cause injury if the airbag is
triggered.
(@ Note
- Since your vehicle has an all-aluminium
body, all servicing, repairs or other work on
the car body must be carried out by an Audi
workshop or a qualified workshop working
to the specifications of the Audi factory.
This ensures that the necessary repairs or
servicing are performed properly and that
only Audi Genuine Parts are installed on
your vehicle. Use of non-genuine replace
ment parts, equipment or accessories on
your vehicle, or repair of the vehicle by un
qualified persons may result in serious dam
age to your car (possibly including corro
sion).
- The manufacturer cannot be held Liable for
damage which occurs as a result of failure
to comply with these stipulations, and such
damage is not covered under warranty.
Modifications
Modifications must always be carried out accord
ing to our specifications.
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic
components or software in the vehicle may cause
malfunctioning. Due to the way the electronic
components are linked together in networks,
other systems may be affected by the faults. This
can seriously impair safety, Lead to excessive
wear of components, and also invalidate the type
approval for your vehicle.
You will appreciate that your Audi dealer cannot
be held liable for any damage caused by modifi
cations and/or work performed incorrectly.
We recommend that all work should be per
formed by an Audi workshop using Audi Genuine
Parts. ..,_
