() Note
If a new fuse burns out again shortly after you
have installed it, have the electrical system
checked as soon as possible by an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty.

Audi Literature Shop
Service information is made available as soon as
possible after a model is introduced and can be
ordered in the Audi Literature Shop: http://
literature.audiusa.com
Driving in other
countries
Government regulations in the United States and
Canada require motor vehicles to comply with
emissions regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles that were produced for the
U.S. and Canadian markets are different from
vehicles produced for other countries.
If you plan to use your vehicle outside of the
United States or Canada, it is possible that:
— Fuel may have a significantly lower octane rat-
ing. Unsuitable fuels can cause engine damage.
— Proper maintenance and repair work may not
be possible because special service equipment,
tools, or measuring devices needed for your ve-
hicle may not be available.
308
— Replacement parts may not always be availa-
ble.
— Navigation systems for vehicles built for the
U.S.A. and Canada will not necessarily work in
Europe, and may not work in other countries.
(1) Note
Audi is not liable for damage to the vehicle re-
sulting from these country-specific differen-
ces.
Maintenance, repairs,
and technical modifi-
cations
Observe the safety precautions > page 242, Gen-
eral information and > page 290, Raising the ve-
hicle.
General information
Due to the increasing complexity of technology in
these vehicles, as well as the safety and environ-
mental standards that apply, you can only per-
form a very limited amount of repairs and modifi-
cations to the vehicle yourself.
Proof of maintenance work may be required to
submit a claim within the warranty period.
We recommend that you have your vehicle serv-
iced by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility and that Audi Genuine Parts
and Audi Genuine Accessories are used. This
helps to ensure that your vehicle's functionality,
performance, and safety are not impaired.
Maintenance and repairs
Your vehicle was designed to help keep mainte-
nance requirements to a minimum. Some regular
maintenance is required to help ensure that your
vehicle runs in a safe, economical, and reliable
manner. Please refer to your Warranty & Mainte-
nance Booklet for more detailed information
about vehicle maintenance.
When operating the vehicle under more extreme
operating conditions, for example when outside
temperatures are very low or in very dusty envi-
ronments, certain maintenance should be per-
formed between the specified intervals.

4K0012721BE
Accessories and technical changes

Usually maintenance and repair work requires
special tools, measuring devices, and other
equipment that is available to trained vehicle
technicians in order to help ensure that your vehi-
cle and all of its systems operate correctly, relia-
bly, and safely. Performing work on the vehicle
incorrectly can impair the operation and reliabili-
ty of your vehicle and may void one or more of
your vehicle's warranties.
Technical Modifications
Interference with electronic components, their
software, the wiring, and data transfer may cause
malfunctions. Because of the way electronic com-
ponents are interconnected, such malfunctions
can also impair systems that are not directly in-
volved. This means that you risk both a substan-
tial reduction in the operational safety of your ve-
hicle and increased wear of vehicle components.
Some convenience functions, such as the conven-
ience turn signal function, individual door open-
ing function, and displays, can be reprogrammed
using special workshop equipment. If functions
are reprogrammed, the information and descrip-
tions about these functions in this Owner's Man-
ual may no longer apply to the changed func-
tions. Audi recommends that an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility perform
and verify any reprogramming procedures.


— Never perform any work in the engine com-
partment unless you know exactly how to
carry out the job and have the correct tech-
nical information and the correct tools.
— If you are uncertain about what to do, have
the work performed by an authorized Audi
dealer, an authorized Audi Service Facility,
or another qualified workshop. Serious per-
sonal injury may result from improperly per-
formed work.


ZA WARNING
Maintenance work, repairs, or technical modi-
fications to the vehicle (such as installing ad-
ditional equipment) that is not performed
correctly can cause serious injuries and in-
crease the risk of an accident.


Z\ WARNING
The engine compartment in any motor vehicle
is a potentially dangerous area and can cause
serious personal injury.
— Always use extreme caution when doing any
work in the engine compartment. Always
follow commonly accepted safety practices
and use common sense. Never risk personal
injury.

@) Note
— Maintenance work, repairs, or technical
modifications to the vehicle (such as instal-
ling additional equipment) that is not per-
formed correctly can cause vehicle damage.
— If emergency repairs must be performed,
take your vehicle to an authorized Audi deal-
er or authorized Audi Service Facility as soon
as possible.
— Audi is not liable for damage to the vehicle
resulting from failure to comply with these
guidelines.
@) For the sake of the environment
— Regular maintenance can help protect the
environment.
— Technical modifications to the vehicle can
have a negative impact on fuel consumption
and vehicle emissions.
@) For the sake of the environment
Certain components in your vehicle such as
undeployed airbag modules, pretensioners
and remote control batteries may contain Per-
chlorate Material - special handling may ap-
ply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/
perchlorate. When the vehicle or parts of the
restraint system including airbag modules
and safety belts with pretensioners are scrap-
ped, all applicable laws and regulations must
be observed. Your authorized Audi dealer is
familiar with these requirements and we rec-
ommend that you have your dealer perform
this service for you.
