Retrieving using the
memory buttons
• With the passenger's door open, de
press and release the desired memory but
ton. The seat will automatically adjust to the
stored position.
• If the door has been closed, you must
then depress and hold the memory button
until the seat has reached its stored posi

ment for the front passenger's seat using
the remote control in the master key.
84 Emergency
Off
In an emergency, you can interrupt
any retrieval procedure by
• pressing the '"STOP'" button (see il
lustration on page 81 and 83). or
• tapping one of the memory buttons.
Pushing the"ON/OFF"button to the OFF
position only switches off the Memory. The
stored settings will not be erased.
It's a good idea to turn the Memory off if the
vehicle is going to be used temporarily by a
driver whose driving position will not be
memorized.
The advantage is that the personal settings
that have already been memorized will re
main intact and will not change each time
the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control. Note
The memory function is switched off when
the STOP button is pressed. The word
''OFF" lights up if the headlights are
switched on. However, the programmed
seat, outside mirrors and steering wheel
positions remain stored in the memory.

VEHICLE OPERA
TION-----------------------
Operate your vehicle safely
The condition of the vehicle is es
sential for driving safety.
Therefore, always be sure to observe the
following points before you drive off:
• Check lights and turn signals.
• Check fuel level.
• Adjust the mirrors.
• Make sure that all lights and all
windows are clean.
• Make sure the air Intake slot be
tween the engine hood and the
windshield is free of leaves, snow
and ice.
• Check warning and indicator
lights when starting the engine.
For driving safety, always follow the speci
fied maintenance intervals in your Mainte
nance booklet -especially for changing
the brake fluid, see page 242.
Yo ur personal driving style and your
attitude affect driving safety to a
very great extent.
19 4 Therefore,
for your own safety:
• Wear your safety belts and wear
them properly, even if you're just
driving in the city or to the corner
store -see page 14.
• Make sure that all passengers are
wearing their safety belts properly,
even those sitting in the rear -
see page 14.
Passengers not wearing safety belts endan
ger not only themselves in case of an acci
dent, but also the driver and other passen
gers.
• Make sure that children always sit
on the rear seat properly restrained
by a res traint system appropriate
for their size and age.
• Never transport a child in a rear
facing child or infant seat on the
front passenger seat.
• Adjust your seat so that you can
easily reach all controls as far away
from the airbag as possible but no
closer than 10 in. (25 em) -
see page 76. •
The seating position is very im
portant for the airbag performance
- see page 29.
• Always adjust the head restra ints
to the correct height.
For maximum protection, the upper edge of
the head restraints should be at least at
eye level, or higher .
• Always make sure that the move
ment of the pedals is not restricted
In any way-see page 102.
• Store luggage and light items
properly
in the luggage compartment
see page 88.
of the roof - see page 191.
• If you drink, do not drive.
The use of alcohol, drugs and certain medi
cations will seriously impair perception,
reactions and driving ability, and substan
tially increase the risk of an accident and
personal injury.

Tr
ailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a bra king sys
tem, check to be sure that it conforms to all
regulations.
The trailer brake system must not be direct
ly connected to the vehicle' s brake system.
Safety chains
Always use safety chains between your ve
hicle and trailer.
Tr ailer lights
Tra iler lights must meet all regulations. Do
not connect the trailer light system directly
to the light system of your vehicle. Be sure
to check with your Audi Dealer for correct
wiring, switches and relays. Mirrors
If you are unable to see the traffic behind
you using the regular outside mirrors, then
you must install extended mirrors. It's im
porta nt that you always have clear vision to
the rear.
Operating instructions
Maximum trailer weight
A trailer for your vehicle is limi ted to a typical
class 1 or class 2 trailer.
Never allow a passenger to ride in a
trailer.
�W ARNING
Anyone not properly restrained in
a moving vehicle is at much great
er risk in an accident.
Never let anyone ride without the
restra ints provided by Audi. VEHICL
E OPER ATION
Lights
The headlight settings should be checked
with the trailer attached before driving off.
Adjust as necessary so that you can see the
road ahead but not blind on-coming traffic.
Check proper working of vehicle and trailer
lights.
Safety chains
Be sure trailer safety chains are properly
conn ected from the trailer to the hitch on
the vehicle. Leave enough slack in the
chains to permit turning corners. When you
install safety chains, make sure they will not
drag on the road when you are driving.
The chains should cross under the trailer
tongue to prevent it from dropping in case
of separation from the hitch.

Waxing
Please refer to the important information on
page 212.
• A good wax coati ng protects the vehicle
paint to a large extent against the environ
mental influences listed under "Washing"
and even agains t light scratches.
• When water doesn't form small drops
and roll off clean paint, apply a coat of good
hard wax. Even if a wax solution is used reg
ularly for washing your vehicle, it is advis
able to protect the paint with a coat of hard
wax at least twice a year.
• To protect bright metal trim, use car wax.
• Protect plastic body parts painted the
same as the vehicle body with car wax.
• Do not use car wax on ...
- matte or anodized metal trim
rubber or rubber-l ike trim. Tr
im strips
Dirty patches and marks on the trim strips
should be removed with a pH-balanced
cleaning agent (do not use a chrome
cleaner). Audi Dealers carry cleaning prod
ucts which have been tested for use on your
vehicle and are not harmful to the environ
ment.
To avoid corrosion on the exterior trim
str ips, only a pH-balanced solution should
be used for the windshield washer.
To uch-up paint
Yo ur Audi Dealer has touch-up paint for mi
nor scratches and stone chips. Scratches
should be touched up soon after they occur
to prevent corrosion.
If a spot starts to rust, however, a simple
touch-up job won't be enough. The affected
surface must be smoothed with sand paper
and covered with an anti-rust primer before
the painted finish can be restored.
The n umber for the original vehicle paint can
be found on the vehicle identification label
- see page 291 . VE
HICLE CARE
Windows Clean all windows regularly to remove road
film and car- wash wax buildup. Use a luke
warm soap and water sol uti on or an alcohol
based commercial window cleaning agent.
If a chamois is used for polishing the glass,
it should be used exclusively for that pur
pose.
Also, be sure to clean all windows regularly
on the inside.
Use a plastic scraper to remove snow and
ice from windows and mirrors. To help pre
vent dirt from scratching the windo w, al
ways scrape in a forward direction -push
ing the scraper away from you-never back
and forth.
Note
To prevent damage the wires of the rear
defogger, do not place any adhesive stick
ers in the inside of the rear window over the
wires.
