-1
-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
rim or the center of the steering wheel.
Holding
the steering wheel incorrectly sig
nificantly
increases the risk of injury to the
hands, arms and head if the airbag deploys.

-I
-Never allow the engine to run in confined
spaces -danger
of asp hyxia tion.
- Never
turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
- The brake booster and power steering only
work when
the engine is running. If the en
gine
is off, you have to use more force when
steering
or braking. Because you cannot
steer and brake
as you usually would, this
could lead to crashes and serious injuries.
CD Note
Avoid high engine speed, full throttle, and
heavy engine load
as long as the engine has
not reached operating temperature yet. You
could damage the engine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not let the engine run while parked to
warm up. Begin driving immediately. This re
duces unnecessary emission
s.
Tips
-Some noise after starting the engine is nor
mal and is no cause for concern.
-
If you leave the vehicle with the ignition

-
Please note that the brake booster and pow
er steering
only work when the engine is
r unn ing. When
the engine off, you must use
more force
to steer or brake the vehicle. Be
cause the usual steering and braking capa
bility is not available, the risk of accidents or
injuries increases.
- For safety reasons, always park
the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there
is the risk that the vehicle
could roll.
-
After the engine has been switched off, the
radiator fan can continue to run for up to 10
minutes -even with the ignition switched
off. It can also switch on again after some
time if the coolant temperature rises as the
result of heat buildup or ifthe eng ine com
partment is heated by the sun's rays and the
engine is hot.
CD Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for
an extended period of time, heat builds up in
the engine compartment after the engine is
switched off -there is a risk of damaging the
engine. For this reason, let the engine run for
at idle for approximately two minutes before
shutting it off.
