-Aux iliary head lights and other accessories in
front of the coo ling-a ir intake impa ir the
cooling effect o f the coolant. This increases
the risk of the engine overheating during high outside temperatures and heavy en
gine load.
- T he front spoiler a lso helps to distribute
cooling air correctly while driving . If the
spoiler is damaged, the cooling effect will
be impaired and the risk of the eng ine over
heating w ill increase. See an authorized
Audi dealer or author ized Audi Service Fa
cility for assistance .

i s sw itched on. If the fuel level drops below 1.9
gal (7
