driving safety, which increase the risk of an
accident. Do not continue driving. See an au-
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi

~ If the brake fluid is old, bubbles may form in
the brake system during heavy braking. This

ing safety, which increases the risk of an ac-
cident.

is not permitted for your vehicle will signifi-
cantly impair the braking performance and

tem. The manufacturer of the vehicle is not
liable for failures or damage resulting from
this. It will also not be covered by the war-
ranty.
