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
Why is your seat adjustment so important? on
page
44.
I
.... 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: .,..

-Do not alter or remove any component of
the Emission Control System unless ap
proved by the manufacturer.
-Do not alter or remove any device, such as
heat shields, switches, ignition wires,
valves, which
are designed to protect your
vehicle's Emission
Control System and other
important vehicle components.
(D Tips
The consumption estimates as published by
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
(EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre
spond to your actual consumption on the

Steering
Adjusting the steering wheel position

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.
