lumbar support AUDI S6 2008 Owners Manual

Seats and storage
- Position the head restraint according to the occupant's height ~
page 93. For maximum protection, the top of
the head restraint should be at least at eye level, prefer­
ably higher and ideally level with the top of the head
~ page 197, fig. 190.
& WARNING
Never place any objects in the driver's footwell. An object could
get into the pedal area and interfere with pedal function . In case
of sudden braking or an accident, you would not be able to brake
or accelerate. •
Front passenger's seat
Always move the front passenger seat into the rearmost
position.
To avoid contact with the airbag while it is deploying, do not
sit any closer to the instrument panel than necessary and
always wear the three-point safety belt provided adjusted
correctly. We recommend that you adjust the passenger's
seat in the following manner:
- Move the front passenger seat into the rearmost position
of t he fore and aft adjustment range~
& in "Why is
your seat adjustment so important?" on
page 87.
- Bring the backrest up to an (a lmost) upright position . Do
not ride with the seat reclined.
- The ideal position for the head restraint is with the upper
edge of the restraint level with the top of your head
~ page 93. You should not lower the top of the restraint
below the level of your eyes. - Place your
feet on the floor in front of the passenger 's
seat. •

& WARNING

Seats and storage
& WARNING
• Never adjust the seatback while the vehicle is moving . If you
adjust your seat while the vehicle is moving, you are out of posi­
tion . Never adjust the seatback when the vehicle is moving .
• To reduce the risk of injury in the case of sudden braking or
accident, front passengers must never ride in a moving vehicle
with the seatback reclined. Safety belts and the airbag system
only offer maximum protection when the seatback is upright and
the safety belts are properly positioned on the body. The more the
seatback is reclined, the greater the risk of personal injury from an
incorrect seating position and improperly positioned safety
belts. •
Lumbar support
The lumbar support can be adjusted to fit the natural
curvature of the occupant's spine.
Adjusting the contour
Fig. 80 Power seat:
Switch shell for lumbar
support
- Push the forward depression on the switch shell to
increase the curvature.
- Push the
rear depression on the switch shell in order to
decrease the curvature.
Adjusting the height
- Push the top depression on the switch shell to move the
support to a
higher position in the backrest.
- Push the
bottom depression on the switch shell to move
the support to a

Th e lu mbar support is particularly effective in supporting the
natural curvature of the spine so that the seating position is more
comfortable over long distances.
& WARNING
Never adjust the lumbar support while the vehicle is moving. If you
adjust your seat while the vehicle is moving, you are out of posi­
tion . Never adjust the seatback when the vehicle is moving. •
