WARNING continued
• Never place protective seat cov­
ers or replacement upholstery
over the front and rear seatbacks
that have not been specifically ap­
proved by Audi. Since the side air­
bags deploy out of the side of the
seatback, it would not be able to
deploy and protect properly.
• Do not use additional seat cush­
ions that cover or interfere with
the areas where the side airbags
inflate.
• Damage to the original seat cov­
ers or to the seam in the area of the
side airbag module must be re­
paired immediately by an autho­
rized Audi Dealer.
• The airbag system must be re­
placed by your authorized Audi
Dealer no later than 14 years after
the manu facture date of your ve­
hicle. �,
WARNING continued
• The manufacture date can be
found on the Safety Compliance
Sticker located on the left door
jamb as well as on the Vehicle
Identification Label in your
Maintenance booklet. It is abso­
lutely essential to observe this
date in order to assure that the sy­
stem is in good working order.
• If components of the airbag sys­
tem must be discarded, or ifthe ve­
hicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions must be ob­
served. Your authorized Audi
Dealer knows these precautions
and can give you the necessary in­
forma tion. Failure to follow these
precautions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal in­
jury.

Front seats
The correct positioning of the seats is im­
porta nt:
so that you can reach all the controls on
the vehicle quickly and safely;
so that you can drive or ride relaxed and
help reduce fatigue;
and for maximum protection of­
fered by the safety belts and air­
bag system.
Therefore, always adjust the position of the

How to coordinate the remote con­
trol to a memory button
You can use the remote control to recall an
individual seating position stored in memo­
ry.
In order to recall stored seat and mirror posi­
tions from the memory with the remote
control, a specific memory button must be
assigned to the transmitter units.
82 The
first factory provided transmitter unit
should be programmed to memory button 1
and the second transmitter unit to button 2.
If required, you can order an additional re­
mote control transmitter from an authorized
Audi Dealer, which should then be pro­
grammed to memory button 3.
Assigning stored settings to the remote
control:
After you have stored all settings under a
memory button, you can assign this setting
to the remote control.
• Briefly press the memory button to be
coord inated with the remote control.
Wait until the seat, the outside mirrors and
the steering wheel have reached their
stored position.
• Press the same memory button a second
time and hold while depressing the unlock
button on the remote control. Release the
memory button after 2 seconds.
The memory button on the seat is now coor­
dinated with the remote control. Notes
• If you coordinate a remote control to a
'new' memor y button on the driver's seat,
the coordination with the 'old' button will be
erased.
• The coordination between the remote
control and a memory button will remain in
effect even if the settings under the
memory button on the driver's seat have
been changed.
• In addition, it is possible to erase a single
key assignment to a specific memory but­
ton.
Press and hold the memory button while
pressing the unlock button on the master
key with remote control for about 1 0 sec­
onds. Then release the memory button af­
ter about 2 seconds.

CONTROLS AND EQ
UIPMEN T---------------------
Retrieving using the
memory buttons
• With the passenger's door open, de­
press and release the desired memory but­
ton. The seat will automatically adjust to the
stored position.
• If the door has been closed, you must
then depress and hold the memory button
until the seat has reached its stored posi­
tion.
Note
You can not reca ll the stored seat adjust­
ment for the front passenger's seat using
the remote control in the master key.
84 Emergency
Off
In an emergency, you can interrupt
any retrieval procedure by
• pressing the '"STOP'" button (see il­
lustration on page 81 and 83). or
• tapping one of the memory buttons.
Pushing the"ON/OFF"button to the OFF
position only switches off the Memory. The
stored settings will not be erased.
It's a good idea to turn the Memory off if the
vehicle is going to be used temporarily by a
driver whose driving position will not be
memorized.
The advantage is that the personal settings
that have already been memorized will re­
main intact and will not change each time
the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control. Note
The memory function is switched off when
the STOP button is pressed. The word
''OFF" lights up if the headlights are
switched on. However, the programmed
seat, outside mirrors and steering wheel
positions remain stored in the memory.
