Safe driving
Basics
Safe driving habits
Please remember -safety first!
This chapter contains important information,
tips, instructions and warnings that you need to
read and observe for your own safety, the safety
of your passengers and others. We have summar­
ized here what you need to know about safety
belts, airbags, child restraints as well as child
safety. Your safety is for us priority number 1. Al­
ways observe the information and warnings in
this section -for your own safety as well as that
of your passengers.
The information in this section applies to all
model versions of your vehicle. Some of the fea­
tures described in this sections may be standard
equipment on some models, or may be optional
equipment on others. If you are not sure, ask
your authorized Audi dealer.
A WARNING
---Always make sure that you follow the in-
structions and heed the WARNINGS in this
Manual. It is in your interest and in the in­
terest of your passengers.
-Always keep the complete Owner's Litera­
ture in your Audi when you lend or sell your
vehicle so that this important information
will always be available to the driver and
passengers.
-Always keep the Owner's literature handy so
that you can find it easily if you have ques­
tions.
Safety equipment
The safety features are part of the occupant re­
straint
system and work together to help reduce
the risk
of injury in a wide variety of accident sit­
uations.
Your safety and the safety of your passengers
should not be left to chance. Advances in tech­
nology have made a variety of features available
to help reduce the risk of injury in an accident .
Safe driving
The following is a list of just a few of the safety
features in your Audi:
-
sophisticated safety belts for driver and all pas-
senger seating positions,
-
safety belt pretensioners,
-safety belt force limiters for the front seats,
-front airbags,
- knee airbags for the front seats*
-side airbags in the front seats,
-side curtain airbags with ejection mitigation
features,
-special LATCH anchorages for child restraints,
-adjustable steering column.
These indiv idual safety features, can work to­
gether as a system to he lp protect you and your
passengers in a wide range of accidents. These
features cannot work as a system if they are not
always correctly adjusted and correctly used.
Safety is everybody's responsibility!
Important things to do before driving
Safety is everybody's job! Vehicle and occupant
safety always depends on the informed and care­
ful driver.
For your safety and the safety of your passen­
gers, before driving always:
... Make sure that all lights and signals are operat­
ing correctly .
... Make sure that the tire pressure is correct.
... Make sure that all windows are clean and afford
good vis ibility to the outside.
... Secure all luggage and other items carefu lly
c::> page 176, c::> page 48.
... Make sure that nothing can interfere with the
pedals .
... Adjust front seat and mirrors correctly for your
height.
... Make sure to use the right child restraint cor­
rectly
to protect chi Id ren Q page 212, Child
safety.
... Sit properly in your seat and make sure that
your passengers do the same Q page 44, Seats
and storage. ..,.

A WARNING
r-=-
To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the vehicle, always keep the
rear lid closed while driving.
- Never
transport objects larger than those
fitting completely into the luggage area be­
cause the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
-
If you absolutely must drive with the rear lid
open, observe the following notes to reduce
the risk of poisoning:
-
Close all windows,
-
Open all air outlets in the instrument pan-
el,
-Switch off the air recirculation,
-
Set the fresh air fan to the highest speed.
A WARNING
Always make sure that the doors, all windows
and the rear lid are securely closed and locked
to reduce the risk of injury when the vehicle is
not being used.
- After closing
the rear lid, always make sure
that it is properly closed and locked.
- Never leave your vehicle
unattended espe­
cially with the rear lid left open. A child
could crawl into
the vehicle through the lug­
gage compartment and close the rear lid be­
coming trapped and unable to get out. Be­
ing trapped in a vehicle can lead to serious
personal injury.
- Nev er
let children play in or around the vehi­
cle.
- Never
let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. Vehicle occupants must al­
ways be properly restrained in one of the ve­
hicle's seating positions.
(D Tips
-Air circulation helps to reduce window fog­
ging. Stale air escapes to the outside
through vents in the trim panel, on the left
side of the luggage compartment. Be sure
to keep these slots free and open.
Safe driving
-The tire pressure must correspond to the
load. The tire pressure is shown on the tire
pressure label. The tire pressure label is lo­
cated on the driver's side B-pillar. The tire
pressure label lists the recommended cold
tire inflation
pressures for the vehicle at its
maximum capacity
weight and the tires that
were on your vehicle at the time it was man­
ufactured. For recommended tire pressures
for normal load conditions, please see chap­
ter r:;. page 261.
Tie-down s
The luggage compartment is equipped with four
ti e-downs to secure luggage
and other items.
Fig. 144 Location of the tie-downs in the luggage com­
partment
Use the tie-downs to secure your cargo properly
r:;. page 176, Loading the luggage compartment.
In a collision, the laws of physics mean that even
smaller items that are loose in the vehicle will
become heavy missiles that can cause serious in­
jury . Items in the vehicle possess energy which
vary with vehicle
speed and the weight of the
item. Vehicle speed is the most significant factor.
For example, in a frontal collision at a speed of
30 mph (48 km/h), the forces acting on a 10 lbs
(4.5 kg) object
are about 20 times the normal
weight of the item. This means that the weight
of the item would suddenly be about
200 lbs (90 kg). You can imagine the injuries that
a 200 lbs (90 kg) item flying freely through the
passenger compartment could cause in a colli­
sion like this.

circumference as the regular

II WARNING -I
-Only use tire/rim combina­
tions and suitable wheel bolts
that have been approved by
Audi. Otherwise,
damage to
the vehicle and an accident
could result.
-For technical reasons, it is not
possible to use tires from oth­
er vehicles -in some cases,
you cannot even use tires from
the same vehicle model.
-Make sure that the tires you
select have enough clearance
to the vehicle. Replacement
tires should not be chosen
simply based on the nominal
size, because tires with a dif­
ferent construction can differ
greatly even if they are the
same size. If there is not
enough clearance, the tires or
the vehicle can be damaged
and this can reduce driving
safety and increase the risk of
an accident.
-Only use tires that are more
than 6 years old when abso­
lutely necessary and drive
carefully
when doing so.
258
-Do not use run-flat tires on
your vehicle. Using them when
not permitted can lead to ve­
hicle
damage or accidents.
-If you install wheel covers on
the vehicle, make sure they al­
low
enough air circulation to
cool the brake system. If they
do not, this could increase the
risk of an accident.
Tire wear/damage
Fig. 193 Tire profile : treadwear indica­
tor
Tire wear
Check the tires regularly for wear.
-Inflation pressure that is too low
or high can increase tire wear
considerably.
-Driving quickly
through curves,
rapid
acceleration and heavy
braking
increase tire wear.
-Have an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facili­
ty check the wheel alignment if
there is unusual wear.

increase the tire pressure to the
maximum specified pressure¢.&..
Checking/correcting tire
pressure
•Check the tire pressure at least
once per month and also check it
before every long drive.
•Always check the tire pressure
when
the tires are cold. Do not
reduce the pressure if it increas­
es when the tires are warm.
•Check the Label¢ fig. 195 for
the correct tire pressure based
on vehicle
Load.
•Correct the tire pressure if nec­
essary .
•Vehicles with Tire Pressure Mon­
itoring System*: store the modi­
fied tire pressure
in the Infotain­
ment system¢ page 269.
•Check the pressure in the emer­
gency tire*/spare tire*. Always
maintain
the maximum temper­
ature that is specified for the
tire.
A WARNING
r-=
Always adapt the tire pressure
to your driving style and vehicle
load.
-Overloading can lead
to loss of
vehicle control and increase .,.

and follow
the important safe­
ty precautions
inc:::> page 262,
Tires and vehicle Load Limits.
-The tire must flex more if the
tire pressure is too Low or if
the vehicle speed or Load are
too high. This heats the tire up
too much . This increases
the
risk of an accident because it
can cause the tire to burst and
result
in Loss of vehicle con­
trol.
