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 a 10 in (25 cm) dis
tance between your chest and the steering
wheel. If you do not maintain this distance
I
the airbag system will not be able to provide
its full protection.
- If your physical characteristics prevent you
from sitting at least 10 in (25 cm) or more
away from the steering wheel, see if an au
thorized 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
nificantly increases the risk of injury to the
hands, arms and head if the driver airbag
deploys.
