your passengers.
If in doubt about any servicing, have it done by
your authorized Audi dealer or any other properly

nance and necessary repairs. Your dealer has the
facilities, original parts and trained specialists to keep your vehicle running properly.

A WARNING
-
- Serious personal injury may occur as a result
of improperly performed maintenance, ad
justments or repairs .
- Always be extremely careful when working
on the vehicle. Always follow commonly ac
cepted safety practices and general com
mon sense. Never risk personal injury.
- Do not attempt any of the maintenance,
checks or repairs described on the following pages if you are not fully familiar with these
or other procedures with respect to the ve hicle, or are uncertain how to proceed.
- Do not do any work without the proper tools
and equipment. Have the necessary work
done by your authorized Audi dealer or an
other properly equipped and qualified work
shop.
- The engine compartment of any motor vehi
cle is a potentially hazardous area. Never
reach into the area around or touch the radi
ator fan. It is temperature controlled and
can switch on suddenly - even when the en
gine is off. The radiator fan switches on au
tomatically when the coolant reaches a cer
tain temperature and will continue to run
until the coolant temperature drops.
- Always switch off the ignition before anyone
gets under the vehicle.
- Always support your vehicle with safety
stands if it is necessary to work underneath
the vehicle. The jack supplied with the vehi
cle is not adequate for this purpose and
could collapse causing serious personal in
Jury.
- If you must work underneath the vehicle
with the wheels on the ground, always make
sure the vehicle is on level ground, that the
wheels are always securely blocked and that
the engine cannot be started.
- Always make sure the transmission selector
lever (automatic transmission) is in P (Park
position) and the park brake is applied. ..,
