Child safety
restraint in place ~page 62. Install the
head restraint again immediately once the
child seat is removed. Driving without head
restraints or with head restraints that are
not properly adjusted increases the risk of
serious or fatal neck injury dramatically .
- Always read and heed all WARNINGS when
ever using a child restrained in a vehicle is
being used
~ page 245, Safety belts,
~ page 2 53, Airbag system and
~ page 2 77, Important information.
_& WARNING
If exceptional circumstances require the use
of a forward-facing child restraint on the
front passenger's seat , the child's safety and
well-being require that the following special precautions be taken:
- Make sure the forward-facing seat has been
designed and certified by its manufacturer
for use on a front seat with a passenger
front and side airbag.
- Always follow the manufacturer 's instruc
tions provided with the child safety seat or
infant carrier.
- Always move the front passenger seat to the highest position in the up and down ad
justment range and move it back to the
rearmost position in the seat's fore and aft
adjustment range, as far away from the air
bag as possible, before installing the for
ward-facing child restraint.
- Always make sure that the safety belt upper
anchorage is behind the child restraint and
not next to or in front of the child restraint
so that the safety belt will be properly posi
tioned.
- Always make sure that nothing prevents the
front passenger's seat from being moved to
the rearmost position in its fore and aft ad
justment range.
- Always make sure the backrest is in an up
right position.
- Never place or use any electrical device (such as a laptop, CD player, electronic
games device, power inverter or seat heater
for child seats) on the front passenger seat
286
if the device is connected to the 12-volt
socket or the cigarette lighter socket.
- If a seat heater has been retrofitted or oth
erwise added to the front passenger seat,
never install any child restraint system on
this seat.
- Make sure that there are no wet objects (such as a wet towel) and no water or other
liquids on the front passenger seat cushion .
- Never place objects on the seat (such as a
laptop, CD player, electronic games device,
power inverter or seat heater for child
seats) . These may influence the electrical
capacitance measured by the capacitive pas
senger detect ion system and can also fly
around in an accident and cause serious per
sonal injury.
- Make sure that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF
11,;; light comes on and stays on all the
time whenever the ignition is switched on.
- If the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 11,;; light
does not come on and stay on, immediately
install the forward-facing child seat at a
seating position on the rear seat and have
the airbag system inspected by your author
ized Audi dealer.
- Take the child restraint off the front passen
ger seat and install it properly at one of the rear seat positions if the

Removing a wheel
., Remove the top wheel bolt complete ly using
the hex socket in the screwdriver hand le (in the
vehicle tool kit)
c::> fig. 266 and place it on a
clean surface .
., Install the alignment pin (from the vehicle tool
kit) by hand into the empty hole
c::> fig. 267 .
., Remove the rest of the wheel bolts.
., Remove the wheel. The alignment pin remains
in the hole while doing this.
Install a wheel
Read the directions on c:> page 348 when instal
ling unidirectional tires.
., Slide the wheel on over the alignment pin.
., Install the wheel bolts and tighten gent ly using
the hex socket.
., Remove the alignment pin and also tighten the
remaining wheel bo lt .
., Carefully lower the vehicle using the vehicle

348
The wheel bolts must be clean and loosen/tight
en easily . Check the contact surfaces for the
wheel and hub. Contam inants on these surfaces
must be removed before installing the wheel.
A WARNING
Never use the hex socket in the screwdriver
handle or the hex socket wrench w ith the
ratchet to loosen or tighten the wheel bolts.
This increases the risk of an accident, because

tread design
make sure the tread pattern is
pointed the right way
c::> page 348.
- The wheel bolts should be clean and easy to
turn. Check for dirt and corrosion on the
mati ng surfaces of both the wheel and the
hub. Remove all dirt from these sur faces be
fore remounting the whee l.
Unidirectional tires
A unidirectional tire profile is identified by arrows
that point in the running direction on the tire
s idewall. You must always adhere to the speci
fied running direction . Th is is necessary ensure
the tire's opt imum performance in regard to ad
hesion, running noise, friction and hyd roplaning.
To benefit fully from the advantages of the uni
directional tire design, you should replace faulty
tires as soon as possible and restore the correct
r un ning direction on all of the tires.
Finishing
., Re install the caps on the wheel bolts if neces
sary .
., Store the vehicle tool kit in its designated
place . ..,.

Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for
you.
I t is becoming increasing ly more and more diffi
cult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in many
cases, other parts of the car must first be re
moved before you are able to get to the bulb.
This applies especially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car wh ich you can only reach
through the eng ine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb ho lders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, parts must be
correctly taken apart and then properly put back
together to help prevent breakage of parts and
long term damage from water that can enter
housings that have not been properly resealed.
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your author ized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for
you, s ince your dealer has the proper tools, the
;;§ correct bu lbs and the expert ise .
