The proper driver seating position is important
for safe, relaxed driving.
F ig. 150 Correct seat in g posi tion
.., CD
~ CD
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
that you adjust the driver's seat to the following
position :
,.. Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily
push the pedals all the way to the floor wh ile
k eeping your knee(s) s lightly bent
c:> .&_ .
,.. Adjust the angle of the seatback so that it is in
an upright position so that your back comes in
full contact with it when you drive.
,.. Adjust the steering wheel so that there is a dis ­
tance of at least 10 in (25 cm) between the
steering wheel and your breast bone
c:> fig. 150.
If not possible, see your authorized Audi deal­
ersh ip about adaptive equipment .
,.. Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering
whee l and airbag cover points at you r chest and
not at your face.
180
,.. Grasp the top of the steering wheel with your
elbow(s) slightly bent.
,.. Fasten and wear safety belts correctly
c:> page 190 .
,.. Always keep both feet in the footwell so that
you are in control of the vehicle at all times .
For detailed information on how to adjust the
driver's seat, see
c:> page 46, Front seats.
A WARNING
Drivers who are unbelted, out of position or
too close to the airbag can be seriously in -
ju red by an airbag as it unfolds. To help re-
duce the risk of serious pe rsonal injury:
-Always adjust the driver's seat and the
steer ing wheel so that the re are at least
10 in (25 cm) between your breastbone and
the steering wheel.
-Always adjust the driver's seat and the
steer ing whee l so that there are at least 4 in
(10 cm) between the knees and the lower
pa rt of the instrument pane l.
- Always hold the steering wheel on the out­
side of the steering wheel rim with your
hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi­
tions to help reduce the risk of personal in­
jury if the dr iver's a irbag inflates.
- Never hold the steering wheel at the
12 o'clock position or with your hands at
other positions inside the steering whee l
rim or on the steering wheel hub . Holding
the steering wheel the wrong way can cause
serious injuries to the hands, arms and head
if the driver's airbag inflates
- Pointing the steering wheel toward your face decreases the ability of the supplemen­
tal driver's airbag to protect you in a coll i­
sion.
- Always sit in an upright pos it ion and never
lean against or place any part of your body
too close to the area where the airbags are
located.
- Before driving, always adjust the front seats
properly and make sure that all passengers
-
are properly restrained . ..,.

Floor mats on the driver side
Always use floor mats that can be securely at­tached to the floor mat fasteners and do not in­
terfere with the free movement of the pedals .
... Make sure tha t t he floor mats are properly se­
cured and cannot
move and interfere with the
pedals
q ,& .
Use only floor mats th at leave the pedal area un­
obstructed and that are firmly secured so that
they cannot slip out of position . You can obtain
suitable floor mats from your authorized Audi Dealer .
Floor mat fasteners are installed in your Audi.
Floor mats used in your vehicle must be attached
to these fasteners. Properly securing the floor mats will prevent them from sliding into posi­
tions that could interfere with the pedals or im ­
pair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways .
A WARNING
Pedals that cannot move freely can result in a
loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of
serious personal injury.
- Always make sure that floor mats are prop­
erly secured.
- Never place or install floor mats or other
floor coverings in the vehicle that cannot be
properly secured in place to prevent them
from slipping and interfering with the ped­
als or the ability to control the vehicle.
- Never place or install floor mats or other
floor coverings on top of already installed
floor mats. Additional floor mats and other coverings will reduce the size of the pedal
area and interfere with the pedals.
- Always properly reinstall and secure floor
mats that have been taken out for cleaning.
- Always make sure that objects cannot fall
into the driver footwell while the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped under
the brake pedal and accelerator pedal caus­ ing a loss of vehicle control.

Stowing luggage
Loading the luggage compartment
All luggage and other objects must be properly
stowed and secured in the luggage compart­
ment.
Loose items in the luggage compartment can
shift suddenly, changing vehicle handling charac ­
teristics . Loose items can also increase the risk of
serious personal injury in a sudden vehicle ma­
neuver or in a collision.
... Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com­
partment .
... Always place and properly secure heavy items in
the luggage compartment as far forward as
possible .
... Secure luggage using the tie-downs provided
qpage 184.
A WARNING ~ -
Improperly stored luggage or other items can
fly through the vehicle causing serious per­
sonal injury in the event of hard braking or an
accident. To help reduce the risk of serious
personal injury:
- Always put objects, for example, luggage or
other heavy items in the luggage compart ­
ment.
- Always secure objects in the luggage com­
partment using the tie-down eyelets and
suitable straps .
A WARNING
-
Heavy loads will influence the way your vehi­
cle handles. To help reduce the risk of a loss
of control leading to serious personal injury:
- Always keep in mind when transporting
heavy objects, that a change in the center of
gravity can also cause changes in vehicle
handling:
- Always distribute the load as evenly as
possible.
- Place heavy objects as far forward in the
luggage compartment as possible.
- Never exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating or the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating specified

Improperly worn safety belts
Incorrectly positioned safety belts can cause se­
vere injuries.
Wear ing safety belts improperly can cause seri­
ous injury or death. Safety belts can only work
whe n they are correctly posit ioned on the body .
Imprope r seat ing positions reduce the effective­
ness of safety bel ts and w ill even increase the
risk of inj ury and death by moving the safety be lt
to critical are as of the body . Imprope r seating
pos itions also increase the risk o f serious injury
and death when an airbag dep loys and strikes an
occupant who is not in the correct seating posi­
tion. A driver is responsible for the safety of all
vehicle occupants and especially for chi ldren.
Therefore:
,.. Never pe rm it anyone to assume an incorrect
sitt ing pos ition in the vehicle while traveling
¢ &_ .
.,&. WARNING
Improperly worn safety belts increase the risk
of ser ious perso nal injury and death whenever
a veh icle is being used .
- Always make sure that all veh icle occu pants
are correctly restrained and stay in a correct
se ating position whenever the ve hicle is be­
ing used.

Airbag syste m
-Repairs to the front passenger seat must be
performed by qua lified and properly trained
workshop personnel.
- Never remove the front passenger or driver
seat from the vehicle.
- Never remove the upho lstery from the front
passenger seat.
- Never disassemble or remove parts from the
seat or disconnect wires from it.
- Never carry sharp objects in your pockets or
put them on the seat . The capacitive pas­
senger detection mat in the front passenger
seat will not function properly if it is punc­
tured.
- Never carry things on your lap or carry ob­
jects on the front passenger seat. Such ob­
jects can influence the capac itance regis­
tered by the capac itive passenger detection
system, so that incorrect information is p ro­
vided to the airbag control unit.
- Never store items under the front passenger
seat. Parts of the Advanced Airbag System
under the passenger sea t could be dam­
aged, preventing them and the airbag sys­
tem from working properly.
- Never place seat covers o r rep lacemen t up­
holstery that have not been spec ifically ap­
proved by Audi on the front seats.
- Seat covers can prevent the Advanced Air­
bag System from recogn izing child re ­
straints or occupants on the front passenge r
seat and prevent the side airbag in the seat
backrest from dep loying properly.
- If a seat heater has been retrofitted or oth­
erwise added to the front passenge r seat,
never install any ch ild restraint system on
this seat.
- Never use cush ions, pillows, blankets, or
similar items on the front passenger seat.
The add it iona l layers prevent the capacitive
passenger detection system from accurate ly
measuring the capac itance of the ch ild safe­
ty seat and/or the pe rson on the seat and
th us keep the Advanced Airbag System from
wor king p roperly.
- Never place o r use any electrical device
(s uch as a laptop, CD player, elect ronic
games dev ice, power inverter or seat heater
202
for child seats) on the front passenger seat
if the device is connected to the 12-volt
socket or the cigarette lighter socket. Such
dev ices can influence the capac itance regis­
tered by the capacitive passenger detection
system, so that incorrect informat ion is pro­
vided to the airbag cont rol unit.
- If you must use a child restra int on the fron t
passenger seat and the child restraint man­
ufacturer's instructions requ ire the use of a
towel, foam c ushion or someth ing else to
proper ly posit ion the child res tra int, ma ke
certain that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
~ ; light comes on and stays on whenever
the child restraint is installed on the front
passenger seat.
- If the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; light
does not come on and stay on, have the air­ bag system inspected by your Audi dealer.
A WARNING
If the front passenger seat gets wet, dry it im­
mediately .
-If liquid soaks into the front passenger seat,
this can keep the airbag system from work­
ing properly and may, for instance, deacti­
vate the passenger frontal airbag.
If this
happens, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~'
light will come on and s tay on together w ith
t he air bag indica to r li gh t
El in the instru­
ment cluster .
- If liqu id is pooled on the sea t, but has not
soaked in, th is may also keep the airbag sys­
tem from wor king p roper ly and cause the
passenger fronta l airbag to be enabled
(turned on), even though there is a properly
installed child restraint system on the seat.
Wet towels or other wet things on the seat
cushion can have the same effect . If the
front passenger fronta l airbag is turned on,
the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~, light will
turn off.
