.&.. WARNING
-Only adjust the front seat with when the ve
hicle is stationary . Otherwise, this increases
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.

@Tips
The air in the side bolsters* is released as
soon as the driver's door opens. This makes is
possib le to enter and exit the vehicle more
comfortably.

Steering
Adjusting the steering wheel position
The steering wheel position is fully adjustable up
and down and forward and back.
Fig. 59 Lever on the steering column
•Tilt the lever~ fig. 59 downward.~&,
• Bring the steering wheel into the desired posi
tion.
•Push the lever against the steering column un
til
it latches.
A WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering wheel adjust
ment and an incorrect seating position can
cause serious injuries.
-
Only adjust the steering column when the
vehicle is stationary so that you do not lose
control of the vehicle.
58
-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.
Starting and stopping
the engine
Starting the engine
The I ST ART ENGINE STOP I button switches the
ignition on and starts the engine.
Fig. 60 Center conso le: START ENGINE STOP button
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine voltage, the battery current, and the battery
temperature. The current charge level and the
performance of the battery are determined based
on this.
Idling current management
The idling cur
rent management decreases the
energy used w hile parked. With the engine
switched off, it manages the energy distribution
to the different electrical components. Date from
battery diagnosis is taken into account for this.
Depending
on the battery charge level, electrical
equipment is switched off one item after the oth
er, to prevent the battery from draining and to
retain the starting ability.
Dynamic energy manage
ment
While driving, dynamic energy management dis
tributes the appropriate amount of energy to the
electrical equipment. It controls the battery
charge level so that more energy is not used then
is being generated in order to maintain an opti
mal battery charge level.
(!) Tips
-Energy management cannot overcome the
laws of physics. Note that the charge level
and
length of the battery life are limited.
-
When the starting ability is jeopardized, the
r-1 indicator light turns on ~page 13.
What you should know
Maintaining the starting ability is the highest
priority.
A lot of stress is placed on the battery when driv
ing
short distances, in traffic, and at cold times
of the year. A lot of energy is used but little is
generated. It is also critical when the engine is
not running but electrical equipment is switched
on . In this case, energy is used but none is gener
ated.
In situations like this, energy management will
actively regu l
ated the distribution of energy.
Intelligent T echnology
Long periods without use
If you do not drive your vehicle for several days or
weeks, electrical consumers are gradually scaled
back
or switched off. This reduces energy use and
ensures the vehicle will be able to start after long
periods
of time. Some convenience functions
such
as opening with the remote control key may
not be available. These convenience functions
will be available again once you switch
the igni
tion on and start the engine.
With the engine switched off
The battery will drain if you use Infotainment
functions such as listening to the radio while the
engine is switched off.
The vehicle's
ability to start may be impa ired by
the energy use, a message will appear in the In
fotainment system display. The message indi
cates that the system will switch off automatical
ly soon. If you would like to continue using the
functions, you must start the engine.
With the engine running
Although electrical
energy is generated while
driv ing,
the battery can drain. This can happen
when little energy is generated, and much is used
and the charge level of the battery is not optimal.
To
restore the balance of energy, components
that require large amounts of energy are tempo
rarily scaled back or switched off. Heating sys
tems in particular require a great deal of energy.
If you notice, for example, that the seat heating*
or rear window defroster is not working, then it
has been temporarily re d uced or sw itched off.
T
hese systems are availab le again as soon as the
energy balance has been restored.
In addition, you may notice that the idle speed
has slightly increased. That is normal and no
cause for concern. Due to the increased idling
speed, the additional required energy will be
generated and the battery will be charged.
