Fastening the safety belt
• Adjust your seat before fastening
the safety belt. See page 76.
� WARN ING
Safety belts offer optimum protec­
tion only when the seat back is up­
right and belts are properly posi­
tioned on the body. Improperly
positioned safety belts can cause
serious personal injury in an acci­
dent.

To fasten, grasp belt tongue and pull the
belt in a continuous slow motion across
your chest and lap.
• Insert the belt tongue into the buckle on
the inboard side of the seat. Push down un­
til it is securely locked with an audible click.
Pull belt to check!
� WARNING
• Always make sure the safety
belt tongue is inserted into the
buckle for the same seating posi­
tion.
• Att aching the safety belt to the
buckle for another seat could re­
duce safety belt effectiveness and
cause injury. Adjusting
shoulder seat belt
Belt height adjustment front seats
Safety belt height adjustors for the

the head restraints in place and
properly adjusted.
For maximum protection, the upper edge of
the head restra ints should be at least at

Adjustable steering column (tilt and telescopic)
Manually adjusted steering
wheel
The height and reach of the steering wheel

the steering wheel.
• Push down on the lever below the steer­
ing column as far as it will go. See illustra­

1 0 inches (26 em) from the steer­
ing wheel, we recommend that
you investigate whether adaptive
equipment may be available to
help you reach the pedals and in­
crease your seating distance from
the stee ring wheel.
• Pointing the stee ring wheel to­
ward your face decreases the abil­
ity of the supplemental driver's air­
bag to protect you in an accident. �

flates.
• Never hold the steering wheel at
the 12 o'clock position or with
your hands at other positions in·
side the steering wheel rim or on
the stee ring wheel hub.

EQUIPMENT
Electronic
power control• EPC
The indicator light will come on when the
ignition is switc hed on. It should go out after
the engine starts. If
the engine management system experi­
ence trouble while you are on the road, the
indicator light will come on to alert you. The
electronic engine power control system will
automatically switch to the failure-mode
program. You will experience some reduc­
tion in engine power. Drive the vehicle to an
authoriz ed Audi Dealer as soon as possible. Side
marker lights I ;o�
head lights
The light comes on when the side marker
lights or head lights are switched on with
the ignition on.
Self-lev eling
suspension
The warning light will come on when you
switch on the ignition, and will then go out
after a few seconds just as a test to make
sure the light is working properly.
If the warning light blinks after the function
test, this means that the vehicle's ride
height has dropped down. It's normal for
this happen, for example, after the vehicle
has been parked for some time.
The warning light will go off after the self­
leveling suspension has re-adjusted the ve­
hicle ride height. After this has taken place,
the vehicle will now be at its original ground
clearance regardless of cargo load.
Do not drive off until the warn ing light stops
blinking, otherwise you could damage low­
mounted parts on the rear suspension if you
drive over uneven road surfaces.

CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMEN T--------------------
If the warning light is flashing, it can also
mean that the vehicle is riding ''too high"
(above the highest level). Once again, do
not drive off until the warning light stops
flashing.
If the .warning light stays on continuous ly,
there 1s a problem with the ride height ad­
JUStment system. The light will also come
on continuously if the vehicle is on an ex­
treme incline.
Tro uble in the ESP may also cause the warn­
ing light to remain on continuously.
A system failure can cause the vehicle to
have too little or too much ground clear­
ance. Drive very carefully and slowly to your
nearest authorized Audi dealer and have the
fault corrected.
See page 153 for additional information.
12 4 Electronic Stability
Program {ESP)
The indicator light lights up when the igni­
tion is turned on, and it must go out after
about 2 seconds.
When the ESP system is in control mode,
this indicator light will flash while the ve­
hicle is being operated.
When you start the engine, the ESP
may shut off for safety reasons. The indica­
tor light also turns on to indicate this statu s.
If this should happen, you can reactivate the
ESP by turning the ignition off and then on
� gain. This indicator light will go out, indicat­
Ing that the system is once again operating
properly.
If the system is off or is malfunctioning, the
indi cator light will remain on.
Since the ESP system works together with
the ABS system, the ESP indicator light will
also come on if the ABS stops operating. Electronic
immobilizer
�
When you turn on the ignition, the vehicle
key data are automatically scanned. The in­
dicator light will come on briefly, indicating
that the data verification procedure has
been acknowledged.
If a non-coded vehicle key was used (for ex­
ample a duplic ate key), the control light
goes to a continuous flashing mode. If this
happens, the vehicle cannot be started. See
