A WARNING
-Never adjust the driver's or front passeng­
er 's seat while the veh icle is moving. If you
do th is while the veh icle is moving, you will
be out of pos it ion. Always adjust the d river 's
or front passenger's sea t when the vehicle is
no t moving.
- Be ca reful whe n ad justing the seat he ight.
Check to see t hat no one is in the way, or se­
r io us inju ry co uld resu lt!
- Because the seat s can be elec trically adjust­
e d w ith the ignition off or with the ignition
key removed, neve r leave childre n unattend­
ed in the vehicle . Unsupervised use o f the
electric seat ad justments may cause serious
in jury.
- To reduce the risk of injury in the case of
sudden braking or accident, front passen ­
gers must never ride in a moving vehicle
w it h the backrest reclined. Safety belts and
the airbag system only offer max imum pro­
tect ion when the backrest is up right and the
safety belts are prope rly positioned on the
body. The more the ba ckrest is re cli ned, the
greate r the risk of perso na l inju ry from an
incorrect seating posit ion and improperly
posi tioned safety belts.

_& WARNING
-Always remove objects from the instrument
panel. Any items not put away could slide
around inside the vehicle while dr iving or
when accelerating or when applying the brakes or when dr iv ing aro und a corner .
- When you are driving make sure that any­
thi ng you may have placed in the cente r con­
so le or other storage loca tions cannot fall
o ut into the footwells. I n case of sudden
braking you would not be able to brake or
acce lerate .
- Any pieces of cloth ing that you have hung
up must not interfere with the driver's view .
The coat hooks are designed only for light­
weight cloth ing . Never hang any clothing
with hard, pointed or heavy objects in the
pockets on the coat hooks. During sudden
braking or in an acc ident -especially if the
airbag is deployed -these objects could in­
jure any passengers ins ide the veh icle.

_& WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal inj ury in an acci­
dent or sudde n stop, always keep the glove
compartmen t closed while dr iv ing .
Cooling box in glove compartment
The cooling box works only when the air-condi­
tioning is in cooling mode.

The cooling box works only in the cooling mode.
If the climate con trol is in t he heat ing mode, we
recommend switch ing the cooling box off .

Warm and cold
Warm and cold Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the air in the vehicle interior. It
is the most effective when the windows and pan­
oramic sliding sunroof* are closed . If there is a
build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ventilation
can help to speed up the cooling proc ess.
In all heating mode functions except
defrost, the
blower only switches to a higher speed once the
engine coolant has reached a certain tempera­
ture.
Condensation from the cooling system can drip
and form a puddle of water under the vehicle.
This is normal and does not mean there is a leak.
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
The air pollutants filter must be changed at the
intervals specified in your Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet, so that the air conditioner can
properly work.
If you drive your vehicle in an area with high air pollution , the filter may need to be changed
more frequently than specified in your Audi War­
ranty
& Maintenance booklet. If in doubt, ask
your authorized Audi Service Advisor for advice.
Key coded settings
The climate control settings are automatically
stored and assigned to the remote control key
that is in use .
.8, WARNING
Reduced visibility is dangerous and can cause
accidents.
- For safe driving it is very important that all
windows be free of ice, snow and condensa­
tion.
80
- Completely familiarize yourself with the
proper use and function of the heating and
ventilation system and especially how to de­
fog and defrost the windows .
- Never use the windshield wiper/washer sys­
tem in freezing weather until you have
warmed the windshield first, using the heat­
ing and ventilation system . The washer solu­
tion may freeze on the windshield and re­
duce visibility .
(D Note
-If you suspect that the air conditioner has
been damaged, switch the system off to
avoid further damage and have it inspected
by a qualified dealership.
- Repairs to the Audi air conditioner require
special technical knowledge and special
tools. Contact an authorized Audi dealer for
assistance.
@ For the sake of the environment
By reducing the amount of fuel you use, you
also reduce the amount of pollutants emitted
into the air.
(D Tips
-Keep the air intake slots (in front of the
windshield) free from ice, snow and debris
in order to maintain the proper function of
the climate control system.
- The energy management system may switch
the seat heating* or rear window defroster
off temporarily. These systems are available
again as soon as the energy balance has
been restored.
- The air flowing out of the vents and
throughout the vehicle's entire interior is
discharged at the rear of the vehicle. Make
sure that the outlet slots are not covered by clothing, etc.

Steering
Manually adjustable steering wheel
The height and reach of the steering wheel can
be adjusted .

• Pull the lever ¢
fig. 98 -Arrow-¢ &_.
• Move the steer ing whee l to the desired posi­
t ion.
• Push the lever agains t the steering col umn un-
ti l it locks.
There must be at least 10 inches (25 cm) be­ tween your chest and the cente r of the steering
wheel.
If you cannot sit mo re than 10 i nch es (25
cm) from the steering wheel, see if adaptive
equipment is available to help you reach the ped­
als and increase the distance from the steering
wheel.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
driver 's seat, see ¢
page 64.
A WARNING
Improper use of steering wheel adjustment
and improper seating position can cause seri­
ous pe rsonal injury .
- Adjust the steering wheel column on ly when
the vehicle is not moving to prevent loss of
vehicle control.
- Adjust the driver's seat or steering wheel so
that there is a minimum of 10 inches (25
cm) between your chest and the steering
wheel
¢page 136, fig. 151 . If you cannot
84
maintain this minimum distance, the airbag
system cannot p rotect you properly.
- If physical limitations prevent you from sit­
ting 10 inches (25 cm) or more from the
steer ing whee l, check with your authorized
Audi dea ler to see if adaptive equipment is
availab le.
- If the steer ing whee l is aligned with your
face, the supplementa l driver 's airbag can­
not prov ide as much p rotection in a n acci­
dent. Always make su re that the steering
wheel is alig ned with your chest.
- Always hold the steer ing wheel w ith your
hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi­
tions to reduce the ris k of persona l injury if
the dr iver's air bag dep loys.
- Never hold the stee ring wheel at the 12
o'cloc k position o r with your hands inside
the steering wheel rim or on t he steering
wheel hub . Holding the steeri ng whee l the
wrong way can cause serious injuries to the
hands, arms and head if the driver's airbag
deploys.
