A WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering wheel adjust­
ment and an incorrect seating position can
cause serious injuries.
- Only adjust the steering column when the
vehicle is stationary so that you do not lose control of the vehicle.
-
- Adjust the driver's seat or steering wheel so
that there is at least 10 inches (25 cm) dis­
tance between your chest and the steering
wheel ¢
page 98, fig. 98 . If you do not
maintain this d istance, the airbag system
will not be able to provide its full protec­
tion .
~ page 98, fig . 98 .
-If your physical characteristics prevent you
from sitting at least 10 inches (25 cm) or
more away from the steering wheel, see if
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility can provide adapters
that will help.
- If your face is level with the steering wheel,
the airbag does not provide as much protec­
tion during a collision. Always make sure
that the steering wheel is level with your
chest .
- Always hold the steering wheel with your
hands in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi­
tions to reduce the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys.
- Never hold the steering wheel in the 12
o'clock position or with both hands on the
rim or the center of the steering wheel.
Holding the steering wheel incorrectly sig­
n ificantly increases the r isk of injury to the
hands, arms and head if the airbag deploys.

- For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there is the risk that the vehicle
could roll unintentionally .
(D Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for
an extended period of time, heat builds up in
the eng ine compartment after the engine is

For up to 10 minutes after stopping the en­
gine, the radiator fan may turn on again auto­
matically or it may continue to run (even if
the ign ition is switched off) for the following
r easons:
- The coolant temperature is increas ing due
to trapped heat.
-If the eng ine is warm and the engine com­
partment a lso heats up from strong sun­

A WARNING
-
Read and follow all WARNINGS.
-The vehicle can roll
even if the ignition is
switched off.
- Never select R or P while driving, because
this increases the risk of an accident.
- Power is still transmitted to the wheels
when the engine is running at idle. To pre­
vent the vehicle from "creeping", you must keep your foot on the brake in all selector
lever positions (except P) when the engine is
running .
- Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gear is
engaged . Otherwise, the vehicle will imme­
diately start to
move -sometimes even if
the parking brake is firmly applied. This in­
creases the risk of an accident.
- To reduce the risk of an accident, do not
press the accelerator pedal when changing
the selector lever position while the vehicle
is stationary and the engine is running.
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear. If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running, set

Driving
Under certain circumstances, (such as driving in
the mountains or towing a trailer), it may be use­
ful to switch temporarily to the manual shift pro­
gram in order to adjust the gears to the driving
conditions by hand
¢page 70.
On inclines, activate the parking brake first and
then move the selector lever to the P position
¢
page 64. This prevents the locking mechanism
from being loaded too heavily and will make it
easier to move the selector lever out of the P po ­
sition.
A WARNING
= -- The vehicle can roll even when the engine is
switched off.
- Unintended vehicle movement can lead to
serious injuries .
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear. If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running, set
the parking brake and move the selector lev­
er to the P position.
- Power is still transmitted to the wheels

- Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gear is
engaged. Otherwise the risk of an accident
increases because the vehicle will start to
move immediately, even if the parking brake
is set.
- To reduce the risk of an accident, do not
press the accelerator pedal when changing
the selector lever position while the vehicle
is stationary and the engine is running.
- Never engage the R or P selector level posi­
tions while driving. It could cause a crash.
- Before driving down a steep slope, reduce your speed and shift into a lower gear in tip­tronic mode.
