General notes
Safety is the first priority
The safety features in your vehicle are harmon­
ised to provide you and your passengers with the
best possible protection in accident situations.
However, they can only be effective if you and
your passengers sit in the correct position and
adjust and use the safety equipment properly.
For these reasons, this chapter explains why
these safety features are so important, how they
can protect you, what you need to remember
when using them, and
how
you and your passen­
gers can gain the most benefit from them. There
are also a number of important safety warnings
which you and your passengers should always ob­
serve in order to minimise the risk of injury.
WARNING
- The information in this chapter is important
for the driver of the vehicle and all passen­

gers.
The other chapters in this manual

(and,
where applicable, in the other litera­
ture supplied with the vehicle) contain fur­
ther important notes which you should read
and observe for your own safety and that of
your passengers.
- Ensure that the complete vehicle wallet is
always in the vehicle. This is especially im­
portant when you lend or sell the vehicle to
others.

Before every trip
The driver is responsible for the safety of the
passengers and the safe operation of the vehicle
at all times.

For
your own safety and the safety of your pas­
sengers, always note the following points before
every trip:

•
Make sure that all lights and turn signals are
working properly.

•
Check the tyre pressures.

•
Make sure that all windows are clean and give
good visibility to the outside.

•
Secure all luggage and other items carefully

•=>
page 272.
• Make sure that no objects can interfere with
the pedals.

•
Adjust the front seat, head restraint and mir­
rors correctly.
• Applies to: adjustable head restraints: Make
sure that the front passenger's head restraint is
adjusted to the correct position.
• Applies to: adjustable head restraints: Make
sure that the head restraints for the rear pas­
sengers are in the fully raised position.

•
Make sure that children are protected with suit­
able safety seats and properly worn seat belts

•=>
page 267.

•
Sit in the correct position in your seat. Make
sure
that
your passengers are sitting in the cor­
rect positions
^>page

•
Fasten your seat belt correctly. Make sure that
your passengers do the same

What factors can impair your safety?
Safety on the road is directly related to
how
you
drive, and can also be affected by the passengers
in the vehicle.
• The driver is responsible for the safety of the
vehicle and all its occupants. If your ability to
drive is impaired in any way, you endanger
yourself and other road users
,=>^.
Therefore:
• Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers
or by using a mobile phone, etc.

•
Never drive when your driving ability is im­
paired (by medication, alcohol, drugs, etc.).
• Obey all traffic regulations and speed limits
and always maintain a safe distance to the
vehi­

cle in front.

•
Always adjust your speed to suit the
road,
traf­
fic and weather conditions.

•
Take frequent breaks on long trips. Do not drive
for more than two hours without a stop.

•
If possible, avoid driving when you are tired or

stressed.

If this is not possible, try to adjust the
head restraint as near as possible to this
posi­

tion.

•
Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the
seat.

•
Fasten your seat belt correctly

For detailed information on how to adjust the
front passenger's seat, see
^page
58, Front
seats.
A WARNING
A passenger who is not sitting in the correct
position or who is not wearing a seat belt can
be fatally injured if the airbag is triggered.
- Adjust the front passenger's seat so there is
a distance of at least 25 cm between your
breastbone and the dash panel.
- Always keep your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is moving; never rest them on the in­
strument panel, out of the window or on the
seat. If
you
sit in an incorrect position, you
increase your risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking or an accident. If the airbag
is triggered, you could sustain potentially
fatal injuries by sitting out of position.
- To reduce the risk of injury to the front pas­
senger in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, the passenger should never travel
in a moving vehicle with the backrest re­

clined.
The airbag system and seat belt can
only provide proper protection when the
backrest is in an upright position and the
passenger is wearing the seat belt in the
correct position. The further the backrest is
tilted back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the belt webbing

or
an incorrect sitting position.
- Always adjust the head restraints properly
for maximum protection.
Correct position for rear passengers
Rear seat passengers should sit upright with
both feet on the floor and wear their seat belts
properly whenever the vehicle is moving.
To reduce any risk of injury in the event of sudden
braking or an accident, passengers in the rear
seats must observe the following:

•
Before carrying passengers on the rear seats,

puLl
the head restraints on the occupied seats
all the way up
^>page
59.
• Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the
rear seat.

•
Fasten your seat belt correctly
^page
278.

•
Use appropriate child restraint systems for
chil­

dren travelling in the vehicle
^>page
267.

/K
WARNING
Rear passengers sitting out of position can
suffer severe injuries.
- Always adjust the head restraints to the
fully raised position for maximum protec­

tion.

- Seat belts only offer maximum protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the passengers are wearing the seat
belts properly. By not sitting upright, rear
passengers increase the risk of injury due to
incorrect positioning of the seat belt web­

bing.

Correct adjustment of head restraints
Properly adjusted head restraints are an
impor­

tant part of the vehicle's occupant protection
system.
They
can help to reduce the risk of inju­
ries in most accident situations.

The head restraints must be adjusted properly to
provide maximum protection.

•
Adjust the front head restraints so that the top
of the head restraint is level with the top of
your head. If this is not possibLe, try to adjust
the head restraint as near as possibLe to this

position.

•
Before carrying passengers on the rear seats,

pull
the head restraints on the occupied seats
all the way up
^>page
59.
For more information on how to adjust the head
restraints, see
^page
58.
A WARNING
- Travelling with the head restraints removed
or incorrectly adjusted increases the risk of
severe injuries.
- Incorrectly adjusted head restraints can also
increase the risk of injury during sudden or
unexpected braking or other manoeuvres.
Examples of incorrect seating positions
Occupants can suffer
severe
or fatal injuries if
they sit in an incorrect position while the vehicle
is moving.
Seat belts can only provide maximum protection
if the belt webbing is positioned correctly. Sitting
out of position greatly reduces the effectiveness
of the seat belts and increases the risk of injury
since the belt webbing is not worn in the position
for which it is designed. The driver is responsible
for the safety of all vehicle occupants, especially
for children.

•
Never allow anyone to sit out of position while
the vehicle is moving
•=>
A..
The following list shows just some examples of
incorrect sitting positions which can be danger­
ous to all occupants. The List is not complete, but
will help to make you aware of possible dangers
which can be avoided.
Therefore, whenever the vehicle is moving:
- Never stand up in the vehicle.
- Never stand on the seats.
- Never kneel on the seats.
- Never travel with the backrest reclined too far.
- Never lean against the dash panel.
- Never lie down on the rear seat.
- Never sit on the front edge of
a
seat.
- Never sit sideways.
- Never lean out of the window.
- Never put your feet out of the window.
- Never put your feet on the dash panel.
- Never put your feet on the seat cushion.
- Never ride in the footwell.
- Never travel on a seat without wearing the seat
belt.
- Never climb into the luggage compartment.
WARNING
Sitting out of position increases the risk of se­
vere injuries.
- Sitting out of position exposes the occu­
pants to potentially fatal injuries if, for in­
stance, the airbags inflate and strike an oc­
cupant who is not seated in one of the prop­
er positions.
- Before starting a trip, sit in the correct
posi­

tion and stay in this position as Long as the
vehicle is moving. Before every trip, make
sure all passengers are sitting in the correct
positions and remain correctly seated at all
times

Child seats
Safety notes for using child seats

To
reduce the risk of injury in the event of
an
ac­
cident, children must always use child restraint
systems when travelling in the car.
Please note the information in this Owner's
Man­

ual when installing and using child seats. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions and observe any
statutory requirements.
For safety reasons, we recommend that child
seats be installed on the rear seats. You should
only use a child seat on the front passenger seat
in exceptional circumstances. •
267

Safe driving
A WARNING
To avoid serious or fatal injury, children trav­
elling in the vehicle must always be protected
with child restraint systems appropriate to
their height, weight and age.
- Children under 1.50 m tall or younger than
12 must not travel in the vehicLe if there are
no suitable child seats. Please observe any
other applicable regulations in the country
in which you are travelling.
- Babies and children must never travel on an­
other occupant's lap.
- Never allow more than one child to occupy
one child seat.
- Never leave a child without supervision in a
child seat.
- Never allow a child to travel unrestrained or
to stand up or kneel on a seat while the car
is moving. In an accident, the child could be
catapulted through the car, causing possibly
fatal injuries to itself and other occupants.
- To ensure proper protection by the child re­
straint, it is important to wear the seat belts
in the correct position
^>page
277. Always
check that the belt is properly positioned ac­
cording to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child seat. Incorrectly
worn seat belts can give rise to injuries even
in a minor collision.
- If children are out of position when the car
is moving, they are at greater risk of injury
during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident. This is particularly the case if the
child is travelling on the front passenger's
seat and the airbag system is triggered in an
accident. This incorrect sitting position can
result in serious or even fatal injury.
- Make sure there is sufficient clearance in
front of the child sitting in the child seat. If
necessary, adjust the seat position and
backrest angle of the seat in front of the
child seat.
- If
you
are using a child seat on the front
passenger seat in which the child faces the
direction of
travel,
you should move the
front passenger seat as far back as possible.
- Child seats in which the child faces the rear
of the car are located directly in the path of
the front passenger's airbag if it inflates. In
this case, the child could sustain serious or
fatal injuries if the airbag were to be de­

ployed.

- Applies to vehicles on which the front pas­
senger's airbag cannot be deactivated: Do
NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat.
- Applies to vehicles with key-operated
switch for deactivating the front passeng­
er's airbag: Do NOT use a rearward-facing
child seat on the front passenger's seat
while the front passenger's airbag is ac­

tive.
If
you
have no alternative but to use a
rearward-facing child seat on the front
passenger's seat, the front passenger's
airbag must be deactivated beforehand via
the key-operated switch*
^>page
288.
Make sure that the front passenger's air-

an standards ECE
R
44 or ECE-R
129x).
Both
standards apply in parallel. An orange label is
normally attached to child seats which have been
tested in accordance with these standards. Infor­
mation on weight categories, ISOFIX size class
and the approval category of the child seat can
be found on this Label.
Weight categories for child seats
- Child seats: categories 0 and 0+: Rearward-
facing carry cots are most appropriate for these
categories (up to 13 kg). Our recommendation:
Audi carry cot with optional ISOFIX base.
- Child seats: category 1: In this category (9 to
18 kg), rearward or forward-facing child seats
with an integrated seat belt system are most
appropriate. Rearward-facing child seats
should be used for as long as safely possible.
Our recommendation: Audi child seat with ISO-
FIX base.
- Child seats: categories 2 and 3: Child seats
with backrests used in conjunction with seat
belts are most appropriate for these categories
(15 to 36 kg). Our recommendation: Audi child
seat "youngster plus".

A WARNING
- Rearward-facing child seats: Never install a
rearward-facing child seat on the front pas­
senger's seat unless the front passenger's
airbag has been deactivated - this can result
in potentially fatal injuries to the
child.
If
you have no alternative but to let
a
child
travel on the front passenger's seat, the
front passenger's airbag must be deactiva­

ted*
beforehand

288.
- Forward-facing child seats: The back of the
child seat should be flush with the backrest
of the vehicle seat. If the rear head restraint
obstructs you when installing the child seat,
adjust or remove it completely
^>page
59.
Install the head restraint again immediately
after removing the child seat. Adjust the
head restraint to the correct height for the
passenger. Travelling with the head re­
straints removed or incorrectly adjusted in­
creases the
risk
of severe injuries.
- Categories 2 and 3: The shoulder section of
the belt must be fitted across the centre of
the child's collar bone close to the torso. It
must never run against or across the neck.
The lap belt must be worn tightly across the

hips,
and not over the stomach or abdomen.
Pull the belt tight if necessary to take up
any slack.
- Wait for as long as possibLe before changing
up to the next child seat group.
