�W ARNING
• Never sit closer than 10 inches
(25 em) to the stee ring wheel.
• If you cannot sit more than
10 inches (25 em) from the steer­
ing wheel, we recommend that
you investigate whether adaptive
equipment may be available to
help you reach the pedals and in­
crease your seating distance from
the steering wheel.
Adjusting the steering wheel
For detailed steps for adjusting the steering
wheel please see "Adjustable steering col­
umn" page 98.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the steer­
ing wheel and airbag cover points at your
chest and not at your face. The steer ing
wheel should be adjusted so that you can
hold the outer rim of the steering wheel
comfortably with your hands at the 3 o'clock
and 9 o'clock positions. �W
ARNING
• Pointing the steering wheel to­
ward your face decreases the abil­
ity of the supplementa l driver's air­
bag to protect you in an accident.
• Holding the steering wheel the
wrong way can cause serious inju­
ries to the hands, arms and head if
the driver's airbag inflates.
• Never hold the steering wheel at
the 12 o'clock position or with
your hands at other positions in­
side the steering wheel rim or on
the steering wheel hub.
Adjusting the passenger's seat
For detailed steps for adjusting the pas­
senger's seat please see "Front Seats" on
page 76.
We recommend that you adjust the passen­
ger's seat as follows:
- backrest upright (never reclined)
place your feet on the floor in front of the
passenger's seat adjust
the passenger's seat as far as pos­
sible to the rear of the fore and aft adjust-
1)1ent range.
�W ARNING
• Always keep both feet on the
floor in front of the seat.
• Never place your feet on the in­
strument panel or on the seat. If
the airbag inflates and your feet
are on the instrument panel or on
the seat, your could receive seri­
ous personal injuries.
Some other important points to
know
Because airbags inflate in the blink of an eye
with great force, things you have on your lap
or have placed on the seat could become
dangerous projectiles and be pushed into
you if the airbag inflates.
Always head all WARNINGS

SAF
ETY RRST---------------------------------------------------
. � WARNING
• Objects between you and the
airbag can increase the risk of in­
jury in an accident by interfering
with the way the airbag unfolds or
by being pushed into you as the
airbag inflates.
• Never hold things in your hands
or on your lap when the vehicle is
in use.
• Never place or attach accesso­
ries or other objects (such as cup
holders, telephone brackets or
even large and bulky objects) on
the doors, over or near the area
marked ,. Airbag" on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, seat
backrests or between those areas
and yourself. These objects could
cause injury in a crash especially
when the airbags inflate.
32 �,
WARNING continued
• Never transport items on or in
the area of the front passenger
seat. Objects could move into the
area of the front alrbags during
braking or other sudden maneuver
and become dangerous projectiles
that can cause serious personal in­
jury if the airbags inflate.
• Never recline the front passen­
ger's seat to transport objects.
Items can also move into the area
of the side airbags or the front air­
bag during braking or sudden ma­
neuver. Objects near the airbags
can become projectiles and cause
injury particularly when the seat is
reclined. Child
restraints on the front seat -
important things to know
All children, especially 12 years old and
younger should always ride in the back seat
properly restrained for their age and size.
The ai rbag on the passenger side makes the
front seat a potentially dangerous place for
a child to ride. The front seat is not the saf­
est place for a child in a forward-facing child
seat. It is a very dangerous place for an in­
fant or a larger child in a rearward-facing
seat.
• Never install rear-facing child
seats or infant carriers on the front
passenger seat. A child will be se­
riously injured and can be killed
when the passenger airbag in­
flates.

SA
FETY RRST-----------------------------------------------------
�WARNING continued
• Do not cover, obstruct, or
change the steering wheel horn
pad or airbag cover or the instru­
ment panel, particularly in the area
of the passenger side airbag mod­
ule.
• For cleaning the horn pad or in­
strument panel, use only a soft,
dry cloth or one moistened with
plain water. Solvents or cleaners
could damage the airbag cover. Do
not make any repairs, adjust­
ments, or modifications to any
parts of the airbag system.
• Do not modify the front bumper
or vehicle body structure.

WARNING continued
• Never place protective seat cov­
ers or replacement upholstery
over the front and rear seatbacks
that have not been specifically ap­
proved by Audi. Since the side air­
bags deploy out of the side of the
seatback, it would not be able to
deploy and protect properly.
• Do not use additional seat cush­
ions that cover or interfere with
the areas where the side airbags
inflate.
• Damage to the original seat cov­
ers or to the seam in the area of the
side airbag module must be re­
paired immediately by an autho­
rized Audi Dealer.
• The airbag system must be re­
placed by your authorized Audi
Dealer no later than 14 years after
the manu facture date of your ve­
hicle. �,
WARNING continued
• The manufacture date can be
found on the Safety Compliance
Sticker located on the left door
jamb as well as on the Vehicle
Identification Label in your
Maintenance booklet. It is abso­
lutely essential to observe this
date in order to assure that the sy­
stem is in good working order.
• If components of the airbag sys­
tem must be discarded, or ifthe ve­
hicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions must be ob­
served. Your authorized Audi
Dealer knows these precautions
and can give you the necessary in­
forma tion. Failure to follow these
precautions and procedures could
increase the risk of personal in­
jury.
