Note
- Mounting
additional
lights
or accessories in
front of the air inlets reduces the cooling ef-
fect
of
the
radiator. At h igh outside
temper-
atu res
or high
engine load,
the
engine
could
overheat.
- The
front
spoiler
has been designed to prop-
erly
distribute
the cooling air when the vehi-
cle is moving.
If
the spoiler is
damaged,
this
could reduce the cooling effect and the en-
gine could then overheat. Ask your author-
ized Audi dealer for assistance.

fore
