obstacle. Each marking corresponds to 3 ft
(1 m). The

& WARNING
• The rear view camera does not show the entire area behind the
vehicle~
page 157 , fig. 170. Watch out especially for small chil­
dren and animals . The rear view camera cannot always detect
them , posing risk of an accident!
• Please note that objects not touching the ground can appear to
be further away than they really are (for example, the bumper of a
parked vehicle, a trailer hitch, or the rear of a truck). In this case,
you should not use the help lines to help with parking, which
poses danger of an accident!
0 Note
• Low obstacles already signaled by a warning can disappear from
the system's detection range as they are approached and will not
continue to be signaled . Objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, thin painted vertical poles or fences may not be detected by
the system, posing risk of damage.
• In the MMI display , the direction of travel of the vehicle rear is
represented depending on the steering wheel angle. The vehicle
front swings out more than the vehicle rear. Maintain plenty of distance from an obstacle so that your ou tside mirror or a corner of
your vehicle does not collide with any obstacles -danger of
accident! •

Fig. 181 Correct head
restraint position for
driver
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury 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 while keeping your knee(s)
slightly bent=:>& . - 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 distance of at
least 10 inches (25 cm) between the steering wheel and
your breast bone=:> fig. 180. If not possible, see your
authorized Audi dealer about adaptive equipment.
- Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering wheel and
airbag cover points at your chest and not at your face.
- Grasp the top of the steering wheel with your elbow(s)
slightly bent.
- Adjust the head restraint so that the upper edge is as even with the top of your head as possible but no lower
than eye level and so that it is as close to the back of your
head as possible =:> fig. 181.
- Fasten and wear safety belts correctly=:>
page 183.
- 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
=> page 72.
& WARNING
Drivers who are unbelted, out of position or too close to the airbag
can be seriously injured by an airbag as it unfolds. To help reduce
the risk of serious personal injury:
• Always adjust the driver's seat and the steering wheel so that
there are at least 10 inches
125 cm) between your breastbone and
the steering wheel.
• 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 ..
