-Never  leave  your  vehicle  unattended espe
cially with  the  rear  lid left  open.  A child 
could  crawl  into  the  vehicle  through  the  lug
gage  compartment  and  close  the  rear lid be
coming  trapped  and unable  to  get  out . Be
ing  trapped  in a vehicle  can  lead to  serious 
personal  injury. 
- Never  let  children  play  in or  around  the  vehi
cle. 
- Never  let  passengers  ride  in the  luggage 
compartment.  Vehicle  occupants  must  al
ways  be  properly  restrained  in one  of the  ve
hicle's  seating  positions. 
-Air  circulation  helps to  reduce  window  fog
ging . Stale  air  escapes  to  the outside 
through  vents  in the  trim  panel.  Be sure  to 
keep  these  slots  free  and open. 
- The tire  pressure  must  correspond  to  the 
load.  The  tire  pressure  is shown  on  the  tire 
pressure  label.  The  tire  pressure  label  is  lo
cated  on  the  driver's  side  B-pillar.  The tire 
pressure  label  lists  the  recommended  cold 
tire  inflation  pressures  for  the  vehicle  at  its 
maximum  capacity  weight  and  the  tires  that 
were  on  your  vehicle  at  the  time  it was  man
ufactured.  For  recommended  tire  pressures 
for  normal  load  conditions,  please  see  chap
ter

Tie-downs 
The luggage  compartment  is equipped  with  four 
tie-downs  to  secure luggage  and  other  items. 
Use the  tie-downs  to  secure  your  cargo  properly

In  a collision,  the  laws  of  physics  mean  that  even 
smaller  items that  are  loose  in the  vehicle  will 
become  heavy missiles  that  can  cause  serious  in
jury . Items  in the  vehicle  possess  energy  which 
vary  with  vehicle  speed  and  the  weight  of the 
item.  Vehicle  speed  is the  most  significant  factor . 
For example,  in a frontal  collision  at  a  speed  of 
30  mph  (48  km/h) , the  forces  acting  on  a  10-lb 
(4 .5  kg)  object  are  about  20  times  the  normal 
weight  of  the  item.  This means  that  the  weight 
Driving  safety 
of the  item  would  suddenly  be  about 
200 lbs. (90  kg) . You can  imagine  the  injuries 
that  a  200  lbs. (90  kg)  item  flying  freely  through 
the  passenger  compartment  could  cause  in a  col
lision  like this. 
A WARNING 
=  -
Weak,  damaged  or  improper  straps  used  to 
secure items to  tie-downs  can  fail  during  hard 
braking  or  in  a collision  and  cause  serious  per
sonal  injury. 
- Always use  suitable  mounting  straps  and 
properly  secure  items  to  the tie-downs  in 
the  luggage  compartment  to  help  prevent 
items  from  shifting  or  flying  forward  as dan
gerous  missiles. 
- When  the  rear  seat  backrest is folded  down, 
always  use suitable  mounting  straps  and 
properly  secure  items  to  the  tie-downs  in 
the  luggage  compartment  to  help  prevent  items  from  flying  forward  as  dangerous 
missiles  into  the  passenger  compartment. 
- Never  attach  a child  safety  seat  tether  strap 
to  a  tie-down. 
Reporting  Safety  Defects 
Applicable  to  U.S.A. 
If you  believe  that  your  vehicle  has  a defect  which  could  cause  a 
crash  or could  cause  injury or 
death,  you  should  immediately  in
form  the  National  Highway Traffic  Safety  Administration  (NHTSA) in 
addition  to  notifying  Audi of 
America,  Inc. 
If  NHTSA receives  similar  com
plaints,  it may open  an  investiga
tion,  and  if it finds  that  a safety 
defects  exists  in a  group  of 
vehicles,  it may order  a  recall  and  ""'

Determining  correct  load 
limit 
Use the  example  below  to  calcu
late  the  total  weight  of the  pas
sengers  and  luggage  or other 
things  that  you  plan  to transport 
so  that  you can  ma ke sure  that 
your  vehicle  will not  be  overload ed . 
Steps for  Determining  Correct 
Load Limit 
1 . Locate the  statement  "THE 
COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCU PANTS AND CARGO SHOULD 
NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR XXX 
LBS"on  your  vehicle 's pla card 
(tire  inflation  pre ssure  l abel) 
¢ page 327, fig. 256. 
2 . Determine  the  combined 
weight  of the  drive r and  pas
s engers  that  will be  riding  in 
your  vehicle. 
3 . Subtra ct  the  combined  weight 
of the  driver  and  passengers 
from 
" XXX" kilograms  or "XXX" 
pounds  shown  on the  stick
er ¢ 
page 32 7, fig . 256. 
4. The re sulting  figure  equals  the 
available  amount  of cargo  and 
luggage  load capacity.  For ex-

(1400-750  (5 X 150) = 650 
lbs.) 
5. Determin e the  combined 
weight  of luggage  and  cargo 
being  loaded  on the  vehicle. 
That  weight  may  not  safely  ex

- T he  ac tual  Gross  Axle Weight  Rating  a t the

must  not  exceed the  Gross  Veh icle Weight

{[)  Note 
- The  vehicle  capacity  weight  figures  app ly 
when  the  load  is distributed  eve nly in  the 
vehicle  (passengers  and  luggage).  When 
transporting  a  heavy  load in  the  luggage 
compartment,  carry  the load  as  near  to the 
r ear  axle  as  possible  so that  the  vehicle's 
handling  is  not  impaired. 
- Do not  exceed  the  maximum  permissible 
axle  loads  or  the  maximum  gross  vehicle 
weight.  Always  remember  tha t the  vehicle's 
h andling  w ill be  affe cted  by the  ext ra  load.
