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.

How to coordinate the remote con­
trol to a memory button
You can use the remote control to recall an
individual seating position stored in memo­
ry.
In order to recall stored seat and mirror posi­
tions from the memory with the remote
control, a specific memory button must be
assigned to the transmitter units.
82 The
first factory provided transmitter unit
should be programmed to memory button 1
and the second transmitter unit to button 2.
If required, you can order an additional re­
mote control transmitter from an authorized
Audi Dealer, which should then be pro­
grammed to memory button 3.
Assigning stored settings to the remote
control:
After you have stored all settings under a
memory button, you can assign this setting
to the remote control.
• Briefly press the memory button to be
coord inated with the remote control.
Wait until the seat, the outside mirrors and
the steering wheel have reached their
stored position.
• Press the same memory button a second
time and hold while depressing the unlock
button on the remote control. Release the
memory button after 2 seconds.
The memory button on the seat is now coor­
dinated with the remote control. Notes
• If you coordinate a remote control to a
'new' memor y button on the driver's seat,
the coordination with the 'old' button will be
erased.
• The coordination between the remote
control and a memory button will remain in
effect even if the settings under the
memory button on the driver's seat have
been changed.
• In addition, it is possible to erase a single
key assignment to a specific memory but­
ton.
Press and hold the memory button while
pressing the unlock button on the master
key with remote control for about 1 0 sec­
onds. Then release the memory button af­
ter about 2 seconds.

CONTROLS AND EQ
UIPMEN T---------------------
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
tion.
Note
You can not reca ll the stored seat adjust­
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.

U WARNING continued
• The front seats must not be
pushed too close to the steering
wheel or to the instrument panel.
Never sit closer than 10 inches
(25 em) to the steering wheel.
• If you cannot sit more than
1 0 inches (26 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 stee ring wheel.
• Pointing the stee ring wheel to­
ward your face decreases the abil­
ity of the supplemental driver's air­
bag to protect you in an accident. �
WARNING continued
• Always hold the steering wheel
on the outside of the steering
wheel rim with your hands at the
9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions
to help reduce the risk of personal
injury if the driver's airbag in­
flates.
• 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 stee ring wheel hub.
• Holding the steering wheel the
wrong way can cause serious inju­
ries to the hands. arms and head if
the driver's airbag inflates. Electrically

If there is an ABS problem:
o The ABS warning light to come
on. The vehicle can still be braked,
however, the ABS will not work. See
your authorized Audl Dealer as soon
as possible.
• The ABS warning light and the
brake warning light come on to­
gether. The ABS will not work and
you will notice a change in braking
characteristics and performance.
�W ARNING
If both warning lights (ABS and
BRAKE warning light) come on at
the same time, the rear wheels
could lock up first under hard
braking. Rear wheel brake lock-up
can cause loss of vehicle control
and an accident. Have your vehicle
repaired immediately by your au­
thorized Audi Dealer or a qualified
workshop. Drive slowly and avoid
sudden, hard brake application.
12 6 If
the ABS fails, the ESP warning light will
come on. See page and pages 202 -205.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
The electronic differential lock works in con­
junction with the ABS system. A fault in the
ABS causes therefore a malfunction of the
electr onic differential lock.
For more details on how the EDL works, go

been started and the parking brake is fully
released. This is your assurance that the
brake warning light is functioning properly. A If the brake warning light does ¥ not light up when the engine is
cra nking or the parking brake is ap­
plied, there may be a malfunction in
the electrical system. In this case,
contact your Audi Dealer.
When the light comes on, an audible warn­
ing signal is also given.

Notes continued
• At excessive loads (for example, over­
heating caused by frequent changes in the
ride height when the vehicle is stationary),
the system is temporarily deactivated for
safety reasons. The system will return to
full operation once it has cooled down.
• The system automatically switches to
the normal level if the ESP automatically
shuts off (see page 205). If this happens,
switch the ignition off, and then on again.
Now you can select the desired level once
again.

VE
HICL E OPER ATION------------------------
Functioning of Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS)
The ABS contributes effectively to vehicle
control since it prevents the wheels from
locking when the brakes are applied. This
means that the vehicle remains steerable
and is less likely to skid.
Nota
Yo u don't have to "pump" the brake.
Just hold the brake pedal down.
However, do not expect that the ABS short­
ens braking distance under all circum­
stances. When driving on gravel or on newly
fallen snow on top of icy surfaces, braking
distance may be even longer , therefore, un­
der these circumstances, it is especially im­
portant that you drive slowly and with great
care.
202 How the
ABS system works
An automatic check is made when a speed
of about 4 mph (6 km/h) is reached.
When this happens a pumping noise can be
heard.
If an individual wheel begins to rotate too
slowly in relation to vehicle speed and tends
to lock, the ABS automatically reduces
brake pressure to prevent that wheel from
locking.
This automatic adjustment process
will cause a slight vibration of the
brake pedal and soma noises to alert
you that vehicle speed must be
adapted to existing road and traffic
conditions. Enhanced
ABS function {Offroad­
Mode)
To improve braking on loose terrain (for ex­
ample: gravel, scree, mud, slush, snow),
turn off the ESP (see page 205), which will
switch the ABS to a special mode designed
for off-road requirements.
In this mode, the ABS control system is
changed to allow a "wedge" of loose rock
or soil to form in the front of the wheels.
This improves braking performance.
The ESP indicator light in the instrument
cluster will come on when you have
switched to this special ABS mode (see
page 124).
This special ABS mode will remain active up
to about 40 mph (60 km/h). ABS operation
is not affected at speeds over 40 mph
(60 km/h).
To turn his special ABS mode off, press the
ESP button (To activate ESP, see page 152).
The ABS off-road mode will also be deacti­
vated when vou turn off the engine.
