General information
Why is your seat adjustment so important?
The safety belts and the airbag system can only
provide
maximum protection if the front seats
are correctly adjusted.
There are various ways of adjusting the front
seats to provide safe and comfortable support
for the driver and the front passenger. Adjust
your seat properly so that:
- you can easily and quickly reach all the switches
and controls in the instrument panel
-your body is properly supported thus reducing
physical
stress and fatigue
-the safety belts and a irbag system can offer
maximum protection ¢ page 188.
In the following sections, you will see exactly
how you can
best adjust your seats.
There are special regulations and instructions for
installing a ch ild
seat on the front passenger's
seat. Always follow the information regarding
child
safety provided in ¢ page 212, Child safe­
ty .
A WARNING
Incorrect seating position of the driver and all
other passengers can result in serious person­
al injury.
- Always keep
your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is in motion - never put your feet on
top of the instrument panel, out of the win­
dow or
on top of the seat cushion. This ap­
plies especi ally to the passengers. If your
seating pos ition is i nco rrect, you increase
the risk of injury in the case of sudden brak­
ing
or an accident. If the airbag inflates and
the seating position is incorr ect, this could
result in personal injury or even death.
-It is important for both the driver and front
passenger to keep a distance of at least
10 in (25 cm) between themselves and the
steering wheel and/or instrument panel. If
yo u'r e sitting any closer than this, the air­
bag system cannot protect you properly . In
44
addition, the front seats and head restraints
m ust be adjusted to yo ur body height so
that they can give you maximum protection.
-Always try to keep as much distance as pos­
sible
between yourself and the steeri ng
wheel or instrument panel.
-Do not adjust the driver's or front passeng­
er's seat while the veh icle is moving. Your
seat may move unexpectedly, causing sud­
den loss of vehicle control and personal in­
jury. If you adjust yo ur seat while the veh icle
is moving, you are o ut of pos ition.
Driver's seat
The correct seat position is important for safe
and relaxed driving.
We recommend that you adjust the driver's seat
in the following manner:
.... Adjust the seat in fore and aft direction so that
you can easi ly push the pedals to the floor
while keeping your knees slightly
bent¢ f1::::.. in

.... Adjust the backrest so that when you sit w ith
your back against the backrest, you can still
grasp the top of the steering wheel.
A WARNING
Neve r place any objects in the driver's foot­
well. An object could get into the pedal area
and interfere with pedal function . In case of
sudden braking or an accident, you would not
be able to brake or accelerate.
Front passenger's seat
Always move the front passenger seat into the
rearmost position.
-
To avoid con tact wit h the airbag while it is de­
ploying ,
do not sit any closer to the instrument
panel than necessary and always wear th e three­
po int safety belt provided adjusted correctly . We
r
ecommend that you adjust the passenger's seat
i n the following manner: .,..

the risk of an accident
- The power adjustment for the front seats al­
so works with the ignition switched off or
with the ignition key removed . For this rea­
son, children should never be left unattend­
ed in the veh icle - they could be injur ed!
- Exerc i
se caution when adjusting the seat
height. Unsuperv ised
or careless seat ad­
justment can pinch fingers or hands causing
injuries .
Seats and storage
-The front seat backrests must not be re ­
clined
too far back when driving, because
this impairs the effectiveness of the safety
belts and airbag system, which increases
the risk of injury.
-
To reduce the r isk of i njury during sudden
braking or in a
collis ion, the dri ver and front
passenger should not have their backrests in
the recl ined position while driving or rid ing.
T
he safe ty belts and airbag system can pro­
vide the greatest protectio n possib le when
the backrests are in th e upright position and
the safety belts are worn correctly. The
more a backrest is reclined, the greate r
the
risk of injury due to an incorrect seating po­
sition and safety
belt position.

-Adjust the driver's seat or steering wheel so
that there is at least a 10 in (25 cm) dis­
tance between your chest and the steering
wheel. If you do not maintain this distance,
you will not be properly protected by the air­
bag system.
-If your physical characteristics prevent you
from
sitting at least 10 in (25 cm) or more
away from the steering wheel, see if your
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility
can provide adapters that
will help.
-
If your face is level with the steering wheel,
the airbag does not provide as much protec­
tion during a collision. Always make sure
that the steering wheel is level with your
chest.
-Always hold the steering wheel with your
hands in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi­
tions to reduce the risk of injury ifthe airbag
deploys.
- Never hold
the steering wheel in the 12
o'clock position or with both hands on the

when the parking brake is
applied
and released are normal and are not
a cause for concern.
-
When the vehicle is parked, the parking
brake goes through a self-test cycle at regu­
lar intervals. Any noises associated with this
are normal.
-If the. (USA models) I. (Cana-
da models) indicator lights or llJ indicator
lig ht
turn on, there could be a malfunction
in the park ing brake ~page 11.

the braking stops. .,..

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Pulling and holding the switch while driving at a
speed
of about 2 mph (3 km/h) or higher ini­
tiates
the emergency braking function. The vehi ­
cle
is braked at all four wheels by activating the
hydraulic brake system . The brake performance is
similar to heavy braking. c> &.
In order not to activate the emergency braking by
mistake,
an audib le warning tone (buzzer)
sounds when
the switch is pulled. As soon as the
switch is released, or the accelerator pedal is de ­
pressed, emergency braking stops .
A WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an
emergency, when the normal brake pedal has
fai led or the brake pedal is obstructed. During
emergency braking, your vehicle
will brake
simi lar
to heavy braking. ESC and the associ ­
ated components
(ABS, ASR, EDL) cannot
overcome
the laws of physics. In corners and
when road or weather condi
tions are bad, a
full brake application can cause the vehicle to
skid or the rear end to break away, which in­
creases the risk of an accident.

Automatic transmission
S tronic
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically­
controlled DSG transmission called S tronic. Two
independent clutches transfer the power be­
tween the engine and transmission. It allows the
vehicle to accelerate without a noticeable inter­
ruption in traction.
The transmission upshifts or downshifts auto­
matically. The driving style continuously influen­
ces the selection of the driving program.
When a moderate driving style is used, the
transmission selects the most economical driving
mode. The transmission upshifts at a lower RPM
and downshifts at a higher RPM to improve fuel
efficiency.
The
transmi ssion switches to a sporty mode after
a kick-down or when the driver uses a sporty
driving style
characterized by quick accelerator
pedal movements, heavy acceleration, frequent
changes in speed and traveling at the maximum
speed.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually (tiptronic mode).
