.&. WARNING
Drivers who are unbelted, out of position or
too close to the airbag can be seriously in
jured by an airbag as it unfolds. To help re
duce the risk of serious personal injury:
- Always
adjust the driver's seat and the
steering wheel so that there are at least
10 in (25 cm) between your breastbone and
the steering wheel.
-Always adjust the driver's seat and the
steering wheel so that there are at least 4 in
(10 cm) between the knees and the lower
part of the instrument panel.
- Always hold
the steering wheel on the out
side of the steering wheel rim with your
hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o 'clock posi
tions to help reduce the risk of personal in
jury if the driver's airbag inflates.
- Never hold
the steering wheel at the
12 o'clock position or with your hands at
other positions inside the steering wheel
rim or on the steering wheel hub. Holding
the steering wheel the wrong way can cause
serious injuries to the hands, arms and head
if
the driver's airbag inflates
-
Pointing the steering wheel toward your
face
decreases the ability of the supplemen
tal driver's airbag to protect you in a colli
sion.
- Always
sit in an upright position and never
lean
against or place any part of your body
too close to the area where the airbags are
located.
- Before driving, always
adjust the front seats
properly and make sure that all passengers
are properly restrained.
- Never
adjust the seats while the vehicle is
moving. Your seat may move unexpectedly
and you could lose control of the vehicle .
- Never drive with
the backrest reclined or
tilted far back! The farther the backrests are
tilted back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the safety belt
and improper seating position .
- Children
must always ride in child seats
Q page 212. Special precautions apply
-
Safe driving
when installing a child seat on the front
passenger seat Q page 188.
Proper seating position for the front
passenger
The proper front passenger seating position is
important for safe, relaxed driving.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
that you adjust the seat for the front passenger
to the following position:
... Adjust the angle of the seatback so that it is in
an upright position and your back comes in full
contact with it whenever the vehicle is moving.
... Keep both feet flat on the floor in front of the
front passenger seat.
"' Fasten and wear safety belts correctly
Qpage 184.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
front passenger's seat, see Q page 44.
A WARNING
personal injury:
-
Passengers must always sit in an upright po
sition and never lean against or place any
part of their body too close to the area
where the airbags are located.
-
Passengers who are unbelted, out of posi
tion or too close to the airbag can be seri
ously injured by an airbag as it unfolds with
great force in the blink of an eye.
- Always
make sure that there are at least
10 in (25 cm) between the front passen
ger's breastbone and the instrument panel.
- Always
make sure that there are at least 4 in
(10 cm) between the front passenger's
knees and the lower part of the instrument
panel.
- Each
passenger must always sit on a seat of
their own and properly fasten and wear the
safety belt belonging to that seat. ..,.

not, or to signal that it is occupied by some
one who is heavier than the person actually
sitting on the seat. The presence of addi
tional objects could cause the passenger
front airbag to be turned on when it should
be off, or could cause the airbag to work in a
way
that is different from the way it would
have worked
without the object on the seat.
Front airbags
Description of front airbags
The airbag system can provide supplemental
protection to properly restrained front
seat occu
pants.
Fig. 155 Locat ion of driver airbag : in steering wheel
Fig.
156 Location of front passenger's airbag: in the in·
strument panel
Your vehicle is equipped with an "Advance d Air
bag System" in compliance with United States
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) 208 as applicable at the time your vehi
cle
was manufactured. The safety belts for the
front seats have "pretensioners" that help to
take slack out of the belt system. The pretension
ers are also activated by the electronic control
unit for the airbag system.
192
The front safety belts also have load limiters to
help reduce the forces applied to the body in a
crash.
The airbag
for the driver is in the steering wheel
hub i::> fig. 155 and the airbag for the front pas
senger is in the instrument panel i::> fig. 156. The
general location of the airbags is marked "AIR
BAG".
There is a lot you need to know about the airbags
in your vehicle. We urge you to read the detailed
information about airbags, safety belts and child
safety in this and the other chapters that make
up the owner's literature. Please be sure to heed
the WARNINGS -they are extremely important
for your safety and the safety of your passengers,
especially infants and small children .
_&WARNING
-
Never rely on airbags alone for protection.
- Even when they deploy, airbags provide only
supplemental protection.
-Airbag work most effectively when used
with properly
worn safety belts.
- Therefore, always
wear your safety belts and
make sure that everybody in your vehicle is
properly
restrained.
- Always hold the steering wheel with both
hands on the outside of the steering wheel
rim at the 9:00 o'clock and 3:00 o'clock po
sitions
to help reduce the risk of personal in
jury if the driver's airbag inflates.
-Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position or with your hands any
where inside the steering wheel or on the
steering wheel hub. Holding the steering
wheel the wrong way increases the risk of
severe injury to the arms, hands, and head if
the driver airbag deploys.
_&WARNING
Objects between you and the airbag will in
crease the risk of injury in a crash by interfer
ing with the way the airbag unfolds and/or by
being pushed into you as the airbag inflates.
- Always
make sure nothing is in the front air-
bag deployment zone that could be struck
by the airbag when it inflates. _____ ___.

Read and follow the WARNINGS before check
ing anything
in the engine compartment
Qpage236.
Checking the engine coolant level
""Park your vehicle on a level surface.
"" switch the ignition off.
.. Read the coolant level on the coolant expansion
tank
Q page 238, fig. 184. The coolant level
must be between the markings when the en
gine
in cold. When the engine is warm it can be
slightly above
the upper marking.
Adding coolant
Requirement: there must be a res idual amount of
coo l
ant in the expans io n tank c:?(i) .
""Let the engine cool down.
.. Place a cloth over the coolant expansion tank
cap and unscrew
the cap counterclockwise
c:?,8..
""Add coolant mixed in the correct ratio
i:?page 242 up to the upper marking.
""Make sure that the fluid level remains stable.
Add more coolant if necessary.
"" Close the cap securely .
A coolant loss suggests a leak. Immediately drive
your vehicle
to an authorized Audi dealer or au
thorized
Audi Service Facility and have the cool
ing system inspected.
If the cooling system is not
leaking, a loss can come from
the coolant boiling
through overheating and being pushed
out of the
cooling system.
.&. WARNING
-The cooling system is pressurized and can be-
come very hot.
To reduce the risk of burns
from hot coolant:
-
Do not open the coolant expansion tank cap
w ith
the engine hot. There is a risk of burns .
- Stop
the engine and allow it to cool.
-
Protect your face, hands and arms from es-
caping coolant and
steam by covering the
coolant tank cap with a large, thick cloth.
- Turn
the coolant tank cap counterclockwise
slowly and keep light pressure on
the cap.
-
To reduce the risk of burns, do not allow any
antifreeze or coolant to dr
ip onto the ex-
Checking and Filling
ha ust system or hot engine components.
The ethylene glycol in engine coolant can
catch fire under certain circumstances.
- The coolant additive and the coolant can be
dangerous to your health.
For this reason,
keep
the coolant in the original container
away from children. There is a
risk of poi
soning.
-When working in the engine compartment,
remember
that the radiator fan can switch
on even if
the ignition is switched off, which
increases
the risk of personal injury.
CD Note
Do not add coolant if the expans ion tank is
empty . Air could enter the cooling system and
damage
the eng ine. If this is the case, do not
continu e driving. See an authorized
Audi dea l
er or authorized
Audi Service Facility for assis
tance.
Radiator fan
The radiator fan switches on automatically by it
self.
An auxiliary electric radiator fan switches on and
off depending on coolant temperature and other
vehicle operating conditions.
After you switch
the engine off, the auxiliary fan
can continue running for
up to 10 minutes -even
with
the ignit ion off. It can even switch on again
later by itself c:? & . if
- the temperature of
the engine coolant rises due
to
the heat build-up from the engine in the en
gine compartment, or
-
the engi ne compartment heats up because the
vehicle is parked in intense sunlight.
.&. WARNING
-To reduce the risk of personal injury never
touch
the radiator fan.
- The auxiliary electric fan
is temperature
controlled and can switch on suddenly even
when
the engine is not running.
