A WARNING
Electrolyte fluid can leak from automatic dim
ming mirrors if the glass is broken. Electro
lyte fluid can irritate skin, eyes and respirato
ry system.
- Repeated or prolonged exposure to electro
lyte can cause irritation to the respiratory
system, especially among people with asth
ma or other respiratory conditions. Get
fresh air immediately by leaving the vehicle
or, if that is not possible, open windows and
doors all the way.
- If electrolyte gets into the eyes, flush them
thoroughly with large amounts of clean wa
ter for at least 15 minutes; medical atten
tion is recommended.
44
- If electro lyte contacts skin, flush affected
area with clean water for at least 15 mi
nutes and then wash affected area with
soap and water; medical attention is recom mended . Thoroughly wash affected clothing
and shoes before reuse.
- If swallowed and person is conscious, rinse mouth with water for at least 15 minutes.
Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to
do so by medical professional. Get medical
attention immediately.
(D Note
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror
breaks, electrolyte can leak out. This liquid
damages plastic surfaces. Clean this liquid as
quickly as possible, for example with a wet
sponge.
(0 Tips
- If the dimming function is switched off for
the interior lights, the exterior lights will al
so not be dimmed.
- If the light reaching the rearview mirror is
obstructed, the automatic dimming mirror

ard for vehicle occupants in the event of
sudden braking or a crash.
- Always remove objects from the instrument
panel. Any items not stored could slide
around inside the vehicle while driving or
when accelerating or when applying the
brakes or when driving around a corner.
- When you are driving make sure that any
thing you may have placed in the center con
sole or other storage locations cannot fall
out into the footwells. In case of sudden
braking you would not be able to brake or
accelerate.

up must not interfere with the driver's view.
56
The coat hooks are designed only for light
weight clothing. Never hang any clothing
with hard, pointed or heavy objects in the pockets on the coat hooks. During sudden

impair the driver's vision.
- The coat hooks must only be used for light
weight clothing. Do not leave any heavy or
sharp edged objects in the pockets which
may interfere with the side curtain airbag
deployment and can cause personal injury in
a crash.
- Do not use coat hangers for hanging cloth
ing on the coat hooks as this can interfere
with proper deployment of the side curtain airbags in an accident.
- Do not hang heavy objects on the coat
hooks, as they could cause personal injury in
a sudden stop.
- Always keep the compartment above the
rearview mirror closed while driving to re
duce the risk of injury in the event of sudden
braking maneuvers or a collision.
(D Note
Objects located on the rear shelf that rub
against the rear window could damage the heating wires for the rear window defogger.
(D Tips
-A vent slot is located between the shelf and
the rear window. Do not block the vent with
any items you may place on the rear window
shelf.

Audi side assist
-Never rely only on side assist when chang
ing lanes.
- Always check rear view mirrors to make
sure that it is safe to change lanes.
- Side assist cannot detect a ll vehicles under
all conditions- danger of acc ident!
- Please note that side assist indicates there
are approaching vehicles, or vehicles in your blind spot, only after your vehicle has
reached a driving speed of at least 19 mph
(30 km/h).
- In certain situations, the system may not function or its funct ion may be limited. For
example:
- if veh icles are approaching or being left
behind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in time.
- in poor weather conditions such as heavy
rain, snow or heavy mist.
- on very w ide lan es, in tight curves or if
there is a rise in the road su rface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
because they are outside of the sensor
range.
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. This can affect the system. Have
your authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Serv ice Facility check their function.
(D} Tips
- If the window glass in the driver 's door or
front passenger's door has been tinted, the
