ve hicle and even void your veh icle warranty .
Therefo re, proof of se rvicing in accordance w ith
the ma intenance schedule may be a condition fo r
upho ld ing a possib le warranty claim made within
the warranty period.
Above all , ope rational safety can be adversely af­
fected, creating unnecessa ry risks fo r yo u and
your passengers.
I f in do ubt about any servicing, have it done by
your author ized Audi dealer or any other prope rly
eq uipped and qua lified workshop. We strongly
u rge yo u to g ive your author ized Audi dealer the
