A
WARNING
-
- Have the rollover protection system
checked by your authorized Audi dealer if
it is faulty . Otherwise, the system may
not deploy correctly in a collision.
- Modifying the rollover protection system
or individual components is not permit-
ted .
- Work on the rollover protection system
should only be performed by your au-
thorized Audi dealer. Otherwise the sys-
tem may not function correctly in a colli-
sion or it could deploy unexpectedly .
- Have the system inspected at service in-
tervals. This ensures the system will al-
ways be ready for use. Have your author-
ized Audi dealer check the rollover pro-
tection system every two years at the lat-
est .
