radio device such as a key for another vehicle or a
transponder is located on the key ring.
Data in the remote control key or
convenience key
While driving, service and maintenance-relevant
data is continuous ly stored on your remote con­
tro l key or conven ience key*. Your Audi service
advisor can read out this data and tell you about
the work your vehicle needs.
A WARNING
-- Always take the vehicle key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short period
of time. This applies particularly when chil­
dren remain in the vehicle. Otherwise the
children could start the engine or operate
electrica l equipment such as power win­
dows .
- Do not remove the key from the ignition
lock until the vehicle has come to a com­
p lete stop. Otherwise, the steering lock
could engage sudden ly and increase the risk
of an accident.

0 > co ,...., With the engin e switched off
The battery will d rain if you use fu nctions such as
listening to the radio while the engine is switch­
ed off.
The vehicle 's ability to start may be impaired by
the energy use, a message will appear in the In­
fotainment system disp lay .
The message ind icates that the system will
switch off au tomati cally soon. If you wou ld like
to continue using the funct ions, you must s tart
the engine.
With the engine running
Although electrical energy is gene rated whi le
d riving, the batte ry can d rain. This can happen
when little energy is generated, and m uch is used
and the charge leve l of the battery is not optima l.
To restore the balance of energy, components that requ ire large amou nts of energy are tempo­
rari ly sca led bac k or switched off . He ating sys­
t ems in part icu lar require a g rea t d eal of ene rgy.
If yo u no tice, for example, that the seat heating*
or rear w indow defroster is not wo rking, then it
has been temporar ily reduced or switched off.
These systems are available again as soon as the
energy supp ly has been restored.
In addition , you may notice that the idle speed
has slightly increased . That is norma l and no
cause for concern. Due to the increased idling
speed, the add itiona l required energy w ill be
generated and the battery will be c harged.

insta ll a forward-fac ing ch il d restraint on
the front passenger seat, always move the
seat into its rearmost pos ition in the seat's
fore and aft adjustment range, as far away
from the airbag as possib le . The backrest
must be ad justed to an up right posit ion.
Make sure that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF
light comes on and stays on all the time
whenever the ignition is switched on .
A WARNING
-If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does
not go out when an ad ult is sitting on the
front passenger seat after taking the steps
described above, make sure the adu lt is
properly seated and restrained at one of the
rear seat ing pos itions .
- Have the airbag system inspected by your
Audi dealer before transport ing anyone on
the front passenger seat .
If the capacitive passenger detection system
determines that the front passenger seat is
empty, the frontal airbag on the passenge r
side w ill be tu rned off, and the
PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF
light will stay on .
Repair, care and disposal of the airbags
Pa rts of t he air bag system are i nstalled at many
d ifferen t places on your Aud i. Insta lling , remov­
ing, servi cing or repa iring a part in an area of the
ve hicle can damage a part of an airbag system
and prevent that system from working properly
in a co llision .
There are some important things you have to
know to mak e sure that the effectiveness of the
system wi ll not be impaired and that discarded
components do not cause injury or poll ute the
env ironment.
A WARNING
Improper care, serv icing and repa ir proce­
dures can increase the r isk of personal injury
and death by preventing an airbag from de-

could damage the airbag cove r or change
the st iffness o r strength of the material so
that the ai rbag cannot deploy and p rotect
p rope rly.
- Never repair, adjust, or change any parts of
the airbag system.
- All work on the steering wheel, inst rument
panel, front seats or e lectr ica l system ( in­
