This will help ensure that vehicle function, per­
formance and safety are not impaired

Attempting to work on e lectronic components
and the software used with them can cause mal­
functions. Because of the way electronic compo­ nents are interconnected with each other, such
malfunct ions can also have an adverse effect on
other systems that are not directly involved. This
means that you risk both a substantial reduct ion
in the operational safety of your veh icle and an
in creased wea r of ve hicle pa rts

Author ized Audi dealers w ill perform this work in
a profess ional and competent manner or, in spe ­
cial cases, refer you to a professional company
that spec ializes in such modifications.
