Driving under difficult
conditions
Your Audi has been designed and equipped
for normal operating conditions. This also
applies to the frequency and the extent of
service requirements as stated in the Main­
tenance brochure.
If you are planning to drive your vehicle un­
der difficult operating conditions (for exam­
ple, continuous trailer towing, very hot or
cold weather, very dusty conditions, poor
fuel quality, etc.) you may want to make
special preparations such as changing to an
appropriate oil viscosity, having your vehicle
thoroughly inspected, etc. Furthermore, the
maintenance should always be matched to
the operating conditions (see page 228).
