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: .,..

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

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Airbag system
combinations not approved by Audi, lowering the
vehicle, changing the stiffness of the suspension,
including the springs, suspension struts, shock
absorbers etc. can change the forces that are
measured by the airbag sensors and sent to the
electronic control unit. Some suspension changes
can, for example, increase the force levels meas­
ured by the sensors and make the airbag system
deploy in crashes in which it would not deploy if
the changes had not been made. Other kinds of
changes may reduce the force levels measured by
the sensors and prevent the airbag from deploy­
ing when it should.
_&. WARNING
Changing the vehicle's suspension including
use
of unapproved tire-rim combinations can
change Advanced Airbag performance and in­
crease the risk of serious personal injury in a
crash.
-Never install suspension components that
do not have the same performance charac­
teristics as the components originally instal­
led on your vehicle.
- Never use tire-rim
combinations that have
not been approved by Audi.
Knee airbags
Description of knee airbags
The knee airbag system can provide supplemen­
tal protection to properly restrained front
seat
occupants.
Fig. 159 Driver's knee airbag
The driver knee airbag is in the instrument panel
underneath the steering wheel Q fig. 159, the
airbag for the passenger is at about the same
204
height in the instrument panel underneath the
glove compartment.
The knee airbag offers additional protection to
the driver's and passenger's knees and upper and
lower thigh areas and supplements the protec­
tion provided by the safety belts.
If the front airbags deploy, the knee airbags also
deploy
in frontal collisions when the deployment
threshold stored in the control unit is met
Qpage 197, More important things to know
about front airbags.
In addition to their normal safety function, safe­
ty belts help keep the driver or front passenger in
position in a frontal collision so that the airbags
can provide
supplemental protection.
The airbag system is not a substitute for your
safety belt. Rather, it is part of the overall occu­
pant restraint system in your vehicle. Always re­
member that the airbag system can only help to
protect you if you are wearing your safety belt
and wearing it properly. This is why you should
always wear your safety belt, not just be ca use
t h e law requires you
to do so~ page 180, Gener­
al notes .
Remember too, airbags will deploy only once and
only in certain kinds of accidents -your safety
belts are always there to offer protection in those
accidents in which airbags are not supposed to
deploy or when they have already deployed, for
example when your vehicle strikes or is struck by
another after the first collision.
This
is just one of the reasons why an airbag is
not a substitute for the safety belt. The airbag
system works most effectively when used with
the safety belts. Therefore, always wear your
safety belts correctly.
It is important to remember that while the sup­
plemental knee airbag system is designed to re­
duce the likelihood of serious injuries, other inju­
ries, for example, swelling, bruising and minor
abrasions and friction burns can also occur when
an airbag inflates.
The knee airbag system basically consists of:
-The electronic control module .,.
