the following conditions:
Whe n driving throug h a tunnel or i n a t raffic jam so that exhaust
fumes and odors cannot enter the veh icle interior.
& WARNING
You should not u se the recirculation mode f or an exte nded period

Automatic recirculation
An air quality sensor detects increased concentrations of
pollutants in the outside air and automatically switches to recirculation mode.
We recommend that you always keep automatic recirculation ON to
prevent polluted outside air from entering the vehicle interior .
If the
air quality sensor located in the climate control system detects
polluted outside air, the sensor decides whether the air pollution can
be reduced by the factory-installed pollutant filter or whether it is
necessary to switch to recirculation. With heavy concentrations of
pollutants, the climate control system is switched automatically to
recirculation mode and the supply of outside air is blocked . As soon
as the concentration of pollutants in the outside air drops, fresh air is
supplied to the vehicle interior again.
I n the event that the windows fog up during automatic recirculation ,
press the
l<:wl button immediately.
Under certain operating conditions, automatic recirculation is
switched off automatically. When outside temperatures are below
about
50 °F ( +10 °C), automatic recirculation is limited to
30 seconds. When outside temperatures are below about 30 °F (-
1 °C),
automatic recirculation is limited to 15 seconds.•

he steering wheel can be adjusted even whe n the ign ition is turned
off. For veh icles with seat memory, the individual positions for the
stee ring wheel ca n be st ored along wi th t he sea t pos it ion.
& WARNING
Improper use of steering wheel adjustment and improper seating
position can cause serious personal injury .
• Adjust the steer ing wheel column only when the vehicle is not
moving to prevent loss of vehicle control.
• Adjust the dri ver's seat or steering wheel so that there is a
minimum of 10 inches (25 cm) between your che st and the
steering wheel=>
page 172, fig. 164. If you cannot maintain th is
minimum distance , the airbag system cannot protect you prop­
erly .
• If phy sical limitations prevent you from sitting 10 in ches (25
cm) or more from the steering wheel, check with your authorized
Audi dealer to see if adaptive equipment is available.
• If the steering wheel is al igned w ith your face , the supp le­
mental driver 's airbag cannot provide as much protection in an
accident . Always make sure that the steering wheel is aligned with
your chest.
• Always hold the steering wheel with your hands at the 9 o 'clock
and 3 o'clo ck position s to reduce the risk of personal injury if the
driver 's airbag deploys .
• Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock po sition or with
your hands inside the steering wheel
rim or on the steer ing wheel
hub. Holding the stee ring wheel the wrong way can cause serious
injur ies to the hands, arms and head if the driver's airbag
deploys. •

& WARNING (co ntinued )
• Never leave children or per sons requiring a ssistan ce unat­
tended in the vehicle. The doors can be locked using the remote transmitter, p reventing people from escaping from the vehicle on
their own in the event of an emergency. Depending on the time of
year , people inside the vehicle can be e xposed to very high or very
low t emperatures .
• Never remove the ignition key from the ignition look while the
vehicle is moving. Otherw ise, the steering lock could suddenly
engage and you would not be able to steer the vehicle.

<i' For the sake of the environment
To avoid unnecessary engine wear and to reduce exhaust emiss ions,
do no t let your vehicle s tand and w arm up. Be re ady to dr ive off i mme ­
diately after starting your ve hicle . Maintain moderate speed unt il the
engine is complete ly warm . R emember, the engine per forms best at

force when steering or braking. Since you cannot steer and stop
normally , this can lead to accidents and serious injuries .
• The radiator fan can continue to run for up to 10 minutes even
after you have turned off the engine and removed the ignition key.
The radiator fan can also turn on again if the engine coolant heat s
