General notes
Safety is the first priority
Your safety is our first priority.
This chapter contains important information,
tips, suggestions and warnings that you should
read and observe for your own safety and the
safety of your passengers.
_&. WARNING
- The information in this chapter is important
for the driver of the vehicle and all passen­
gers. The other chapters in this manual
(and, where applicable, in the other litera­
ture supplied with the vehicle) contain fur­
ther important notes which you should read
and observe for your own safety and that of
your passengers.
- Ensure that the complete vehicle wallet is
always in the vehicle. This is especially im­
portant when you lend or sell the vehicle to
others.
Notes on traffic safety
You should only use certain infotainment system
functions, e.g. enter a navigation destination,
while the vehicle is stationary. Always be pre­
pared to stop operating the infotainment system
in the interest of your own safety and that of oth­
er road users.
_&. WARNING
- To day's driving conditions require your full
attention. As the driver, you have full re­
sponsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, only oper­
ate the infotainment system when the traf­
fic conditions allow you to do so safely and
when you can maintain proper control of
your vehicle - risk of accident!
- The volume of the audio sources (radio, CD
player, etc.) should only be set at a level
which enables you to hear distant police and
192 emergency
vehicles clearly-failure to do so
could result in an accident.
- Please observe the laws regulating the use
of telephones in vehicles.
Safety features
The safety features Listed here are part of the ve­
hicle's occupant restraint system. They work to­
gether to help reduce the risk of injury in a wide
variety of accident situations.
Your safety and the safety of your passengers
should not be left to chance. In the event of an
accident, the safety features incorporated in your
vehicle are capable of reducing the risk of injury.
These are just a few of the safety features in your
Audi:
- Seat belts for all seats
- Belt force limiters for all seats
- Belt tensioners for the front seats
- Front airbags
- Side airbags in the front seat backrests
- Head-protection airbags
- "ISO FIX" anchorages* for "ISO FIX" child seats
on the rear seats
-Adjustable steering column
These individual safety features are harmonised
to provide you and your passengers with the best
possible protection in accident situations. How­
ever, they can only be effective if you and your
passengers sit in the correct position and adjust
and use the safety equipment properly.
For these reasons, this chapter explains why
these safety features are so important, how they
can protect you, what you need to remember
when using them, and how you and your passen­
gers can gain the most benefit from them. There
are also a number of important safety warnings
which you and your passengers should always ob­
serve in order to minimise the risk of injury.
Safety is everyone's responsibility!

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Before
every trip
The driver is responsible for the safety of the
passengers and the safe operation of the vehicle
at all times.
For your own safety and the safety of your pas­
sengers, always note the following points before
every trip:
.,. Make sure that all lights and turn signals are
working properly.
.,. Check the tyre pressures.
.,. Make sure that all windows are clean and give
good visibility to the outside.
.,. Secure all luggage and other items carefully
¢page 201.
.,. Make sure that no objects can interfere with the
pedals.

.,. Sit in the correct position in your seat. Make
sure that your passengers are sitting in the cor­
rect positions ¢ page 46 .
.,. Fasten your seat belt correctly. Make sure that
your passengers do the same ¢page 204.
What factors can impair your safety?
Safety on the road is directly related to how you
drive, and can also be affected by the passengers
in the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for the safety of the ve­
hicle and all its occupants. If your ability to drive
is impaired in any way, you endanger yourself and
other road users ¢& . Therefore:
.,. Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers
or by using a mobile phone, etc.
.,. Never drive when your driving ability is im­
paired (by medication, alcohol, drugs, etc.).
.,. Obey all traffic regulations and speed limits
and always maintain a safe distance to the vehi-
� de
in front.
� .,.
Always adjust your speed to suit the road, traf-
� fie
and weather conditions.

.. Adjust the longitudinal position of the steering
wheel so that your arms are slightly bent and
you can read the dials and instruments easily.
.. Make sure that you can comfortably reach the
top of the steering wheel.
.. Fasten
your seat belt correctly ¢ page 204 .
.. Keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in
full control of the vehicle at all times.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
driver's seat, see¢ page 46, Seats and storage.
A WARNING
A driver who is not sitting in the correct posi­
tion or who is not wearing a seat belt can be
fatally injured if the airbag is triggered.
- Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel
so there is a distance of at least 25 cm be­
tween your breastbone and the centre of the
steering wheel¢ Fig. 172.
- While driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
rim at about the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi­
tion. This reduces the risk of injury if the
driver's airbag inflates.
- Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position, or with your hands inside
the rim or on the steering wheel hub. This
could result in serious injuries to the arms,
hands and head if the driver's airbag in­
flates.
- To reduce any risk of injury to the driver dur­
ing a sudden brake application or in an acci­
dent, never drive with the backrest tilted
too far back. The airbag system and seat
belts can only provide proper protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the driver is wearing the seat belt in the
correct position. The further the backrest is
tilted back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the belt webbing
or an incorrect sitting position.
194 Correct
position for the front passenger
The front seat passenger must sit at least 25 cm
away from the dash panel so that the airbag has
enough room to inflate and give maximum pro­
tection in an accident.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
adjusting the front passenger's seat as follows:
.. Adjust the backrest to an upright position so
that your back remains in contact with the up­
holstery .
.. Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the
seat.
.. Fasten your seat belt correctly ¢ page 206.
In exceptional cases you can disable the front
passenger's airbag via the key-operated switch*
¢page 211.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
front passenger's seat, see ¢ page 46, Seats and
storage.
A WARNING
A passenger who is not sitting in the correct
position or who is not wearing a seat belt can
be fatally injured if the airbag is triggered.
- Adjust the front passenger's seat so there is
a distance of at least 25 cm between your
breastbone and the dash panel.
- Always keep your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is moving; never rest them on the in­
strument panel, out of the window or on the
seat. If you sit in an incorrect position, you
increase your risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking or an accident. If the airbag
is triggered, you could sustain potentially
fatal injuries by sitting out of position.
- To reduce the risk of injury to the front pas­
senger in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, the passenger should never travel
in a moving vehicle with the backrest re­
clined. The airbag system and seat belt can
only provide proper protection when the
backrest is in an upright position and the
passenger is wearing the seat belt in the
correct position. The further the backrest is

.... tilted
back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the belt webbing
or an incorrect sitting position.
Correct position for rear passengers
Rear seat passengers should sit upright with
both feet on the floor and wear their seat belts
properly whenever the vehicle is moving.
To reduce any risk of injury in the event of sudden
braking or an accident, passengers in the rear
seats must observe the following:
• Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the
rear seat.
• Fasten the seat belt correctly¢ page 207.
• Use appropriate child restraint systems for chil­
dren travelling in the vehicle ¢page 195.
A WARNING
Rear passengers sitting out of position can
suffer severe injuries.
- Seat belts only offer maximum protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the passengers are wearing the seat
belts properly. By not sitting upright, rear
passengers increase the risk of injury due to
incorrect positioning of the seat belt web­
bing.
Examples of incorrect seating positions -
Occupants can suffer severe or fatal injuries if
they sit in an incorrect position while the vehicle
is moving.
Seat belts can only provide maximum protection
if the belt webbing is positioned correctly. Sitting
out of position greatly reduces the effectiveness
of the seat belts and increases the risk of injury
since the belt webbing is not worn in the position
for which it is designed. The driver is responsible
for the safety of all vehicle occupants, especially
for children.
• Never allow anyone to sit out of position while
the vehicle is moving ¢,&. . Safe
driving
The following List shows just some examples of
incorrect sitting positions which can be danger­
ous to all occupants. The List is not complete, but
will help to make you aware of possible dangers
which can be avoided.
Therefore, whenever the vehicle is moving:
- Never stand up in the vehicle.
- Never stand on the seats.
- Never kneel on the seats.
- Never travel with the backrest reclined too far.
- Never lean against the dash panel.
- Never Lie down on the rear seat.
- Never sit on the front edge of a seat.
- Never sit sideways.
- Never lean out of the window.
- Never put your feet out of the window.
- Never put your feet on the dash panel.
- Never put your feet on the seat cushion.
- Never ride in the footwell.
- Never travel on a seat without wearing the seat
belt.
- Never climb into the luggage compartment.
A WARNING
Sitting out of position increases the risk of se­
vere injuries.
- Sitting out of position exposes the occu­
pants to potentially fatal injuries: if the air­
bags inflate they can strike any occupant
who is not in one of the designed seat posi­
tions.
- Before starting a trip, sit in the correct posi­
tion and stay in this position as Long as the
vehicle is moving. Before every trip, make
sure all passengers are sitting in the correct
positions and remain correctly seated at all
times ¢page 46, Seats and storage.
Child seats
Safety notes for using child seats
To reduce the risk of injury in the event of an ac­
cident J children
must always use child restraint
systems when travelling in the car.
Please note the information in this Owner's Man­
ual when installing and using child seats. Follow
.,..
195

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Safe
driving
the manufacturer's instructions and observe any
statutory requirements.
For safety reasons, we recommend that child
seats be installed on the rear seats. You should
only use a child seat on the front passenger seat
in exceptional circumstances.
A WARNING
To avoid serious or fatal injury, children travel­
ling in the vehicle must always be protected
with child restraint systems appropriate to
their height, weight and age.
- Children under 1.45 m tall or younger than
12 must not travel in the vehicle if there are
no suitable child seats. Please observe any
other applicable regulations in the country
in which you are travelling.
- Babies and children must never travel on an­
other occupant's lap.
- Never allow more than one child to occupy
one child seat.
- Never leave a child without supervision in a
child seat.
- Never allow a child to travel unrestrained or
to stand up or kneel on a seat while the car
is moving. In an accident, the child could be
catapulted through the car, causing possibly
fatal injuries to itself and other occupants.
- To ensure proper protection by the child re­
straint, it is important to wear the seat belts
in the correct position ¢ page 206. Always
check that the belt is properly positioned ac­
cording to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child seat. Incorrectly
worn seat belts can give rise to injuries even
in a minor collision.
- If children are out of position when the car
is moving, they are at greater risk of injury
during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident. This is particularly the case if the
child is travelling on the front passenger's
seat and the airbag system is triggered in an
accident. This incorrect sitting position can
result in serious or even fatal injury.
- If you are using a child seat on the front
passenger seat in which the child faces the
196 direction
of travel, you should move the
front passenger seat as far back as possible.
- Child seats in which the child faces the rear
of the car are located directly in the path of
the front passenger's airbag if it inflates. In
this case, the child could sustain serious or
fatal injuries if the airbag were to be de­
ployed.
- Applies to vehicles on which the front pas­
senger's airbag cannot be deactivated: Do
NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat.
- Applies to vehicles with key-operated
switch for deactivating the front passeng­
er's airbag: Do NOT use a rearward-facing
child seat on the front passenger's seat
while the front passenger's airbag is ac­
tive. If you have no alternative but to use a
rearward-facing child seat on the front
passenger's seat, the front passenger's
airbag must be deactivated beforehand via
the key-operated switch* ¢ page 211.
Make sure that the front passenger's air­
bag is reactivated by means of the key-op­
erated switch* as soon as the child seat is
no longer needed on the front passenger's
seat.
- Always replace the child seat with a new one
after an accident as damage not externally
visible may have occurred.

be well away from the opening for the side
airbag.
- Do not leave or place any objects in the area
of inflation for the side airbag -risk of in­

Fig. 174 Child seat categories
Child restraint systems are covered by the Euro­
pean standard ECE-R 44. An orange label is usu­
ally attached to child seats which have been tes­
ted in accordance with this standard. Informa­
tion on weight categories, ISOFIX size class and
the approval category of the child seat can be
found on this label.
Child seats are divided into five weight catego­
ries:
Child seats: categories O and O+
Rearward-facing carry cots are most appropriate
for these categories (up to 13 kg). Our recom­
mendation: Audi carry cot with optional ISOFIX
base.
Child seats: category 1
In this category (9 to 18 kg), rearward or for­
ward-facing child seats with an integrated seat Safe
driving
belt system are most appropriate. Rearward-fac­
ing child seats should be used for as long as safe­
ly possible. Our recommendation: Audi child seat
with ISOFIX base.
Child seats: categories 2 and 3
Child seats with backrests used in conjunction
with seat belts are most appropriate for these
categories (15 to 36 kg). Our recommendation:
Audi child seat "youngster plus".
A WARNING
- Categories 0, O+ and 1 (rearward-facing):
Never install a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat unless the front
passenger's airbag has been deactivated -
this can result in potentially fatal injuries to
the child. If you have no alternative but to
let a child travel on the front passenger's
seat, the front passenger's airbag must be
deactivated* beforehand c:> page 211.
- Categories 1 (forward-facing), 2 and 3: The
back of the child seat should be flush with
the backrest of the vehicle seat.
- Categories 2 and 3: The shoulder section of
the belt must be fitted across the centre of
the child's collar bone close to the torso. It
must never run against or across the neck.
The lap belt must be worn tightly across the
hips, and not over the stomach or abdomen.
Pull the belt tight if necessary to take up
any slack.
