What impairs driving safety?
Safe driving is directly related to the condition of
the vehicle, the driver as well as the driver's abili­
ty to concentrate on the road without being dis­
tracted.
The driver is responsible for the safety of the ve­
hicle and all of its occupants . If your ability to
drive is impaired, safety risks for everybody in the
veh icle increase and you also become a hazard to
everyone else on the road ¢,&. .Therefore:
.. Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers
or by using a cellular te lephone .
.. NEVER drive when your driv ing ability is im­
paired (by medications, alcohol, drugs, etc.).
.. Observe a ll traffic laws, rules of the road and
speed limits and plain common sense.
.. ALWAYS adjust your speed to road, traffic and
weather cond itions.
.. Ta ke frequent breaks on long trips. Do not drive
for more than two hours at a stretch .
.. Do NOT drive when you are tired, under pres­
sure or when you are stressed.
A WARNING
Impaired driving safety increases the risk of
ser ious personal injury and death whenever a
vehicle is being used.

Proper seating position for the driver
The proper driver seating position is important
for safe, relaxed driving.
Fig. 147 Correct seating position
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
that you adjust the driver's seat to the following position:
.. Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily
push the pedals all the way to the floor while
keep ing your knee(s) slightly bent¢,&. .
.,. Adjust the angle of the seatback so that it is in
an upright position so that your back comes in
full contact wi th it when you dr ive.
.. Adjust the steering wheel so that there is a dis­
tance of at least 10 in (25 cm) between the
steering whee l and your breast bone¢
fig. 147.
If not possible, see your author ized A udi deal­
ership about adaptive equipment .
.. Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering
wheel and airbag cover points at your chest and
not at your face .
.,. Grasp the top of the steering wheel with your
elbow(s) slightly bent .
.. Fasten and wear safety belts correctly

Safe driving
A 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 ¢
page 221. Special precautions apply
182
when installing a child seat on the front passenger seat¢
page 197.
Proper seating position for the front
passenger
The proper fron t passenger sea ting posi tion is
impor tan t 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
¢ page 193.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
front passenger's seat, see ¢
page 44.
.&, WARNING
Front seat passengers who are unbelted, out
of position or too close to the airbag can be
seriously injured or killed by the airbag as it
unfolds. To help reduce the risk of serious
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 .

-Before driving, always adjus t the front pas­
senger seat properly.
- Always keep your feet on the floor in front
of the seat. Never rest them on the seat, in­
strument panel, out of the window, etc. The
airbag system and safety belt will not be
able to protect you properly and can even in­
crease the risk of injury in a crash .
- Never drive with the backrest reclined or
t ilted fa r back! The farther the backrests are
t il ted back, the greater the risk of in ju ry due
to incorrect positioning of the safety belt
and improper se ating position.
- Children must a lways ride in child seats
¢ page 221. Special precautions apply
when insta lling a child seat on the front
passenge r seat
¢ page 19 7.
Proper seating positions for passengers in
rear seats
Rear seat passengers must sit upright wi th both
feet on the floor consistent with their physical
size and be properly restrained whenever the ve­
hicle is in use.
To reduce the risk o f injury caused by an incorrect
seating position in the event of a sudden braking
maneuver or an accident, yo ur passengers on the
rear bench seat must a lways observe the follow­
ing:
• Make s ure that the seatback is sec urely latched
in the upright pos ition
¢ page 49.
• Keep both feet flat in the footwell in front of
the rear seat.
• Fasten and wear safety be lts properly
¢ page 193 .
• Make su re that children are always properly re­
st rained in a ch ild res traint that is approp riate
for their size and age
¢ page 221 .
A WARNING
Passengers who are improperly seated on the
rear seat can be seriously injured in a crash .
- Each passenger m ust always sit on a seat of
their own and properly fasten and wear the
safety belt belonging to that seat .
Safe driv ing
- Safety belts only offer maxim um protection
when the seatback is securely latched in the
upright pos ition and the safety belts are
properly posit ioned on the body . By not sit­
ting upright, a rear seat passenger increases
the risk of personal injury from improperly
positioned safety belts!
Examples of improper seating positions
The occupant restraint system can only reduce
the risk of injury if vehicle occupants are properly
seated .
Improper seat ing positions can cause ser ious in­
jury or death . Safety belts ca n only work when
they a re properly positioned on the body. Im­
prope r seat ing positions red uce the effectiveness
of safety be lts an d will even inc rease the risk of
injury and deat h by moving the safety belt to cr it­
ical areas of the body. Improper seating posi tions
also increase the risk of se rious i njury and death
when an airbag dep loys and strikes an occ upant
who is not in the proper seating posit ion. A dr iver
is responsible for the safety of all veh icle occu­
pants and espec ially for children . Therefore :
• Never allow anyone to assume an incorrect
seating position when the vehicle is being used
¢ .&_ .
The following bulletins list on ly some samp le po­
s itions that will increase the r isk of serious injury
and death . Our hope is that these examples will
make yo u more aware of seating positions that
are dangerous .
Therefore, whenever the vehicle is mov ing :
-neve r stand up in the vehicle
- never stand on the seats
- neve r kneel on the seats
- neve r ride wit h the sea tback recl ined
- neve r lie down on the rear seat
- never lean up against the instrument panel
- never s it on the edge of the seat
- neve r sit sideways
- never lean out the window
- neve r put your feet o ut the wi ndow
- neve r put your feet on t he i nstr ument pane l
183

Safe dri ving
- never rest your feet on the seat cushion or back
of the seat
- never ride in the footwell
- never ride in the cargo area
_& WARNING
Improper seating posit ions increase the r isk
of serious personal injury and death whenever
a vehicle is being used .
- Always make sure that all vehicle occupants
stay in a proper seating position and are
properly restrained whenever the vehicle is
being used.
Driver and passenger
side footwell
Important safety instructions
_& WARNING
Always make sure that the knee airbag can in­
flate without interference . Objects between
yourself and the airbag can increase the risk
of injury in an acc ident by interfering with the
way the airbag deploys or by being pushed in­
to you as the airbag deploys.
- No persons (children) or animals shou ld ride
in the footwell in front of the passenger
seat .
If the airbag dep loys, this can result in
serious or fatal injuries.
- No objects of any kind should be carried in
the footwell area in front of the driver's or
passenger 's seat. Bulky objects (shopping
bags, for example) can hamper or prevent
proper deployment of the airbag. Small ob­
jects can be thrown through the vehicle if
the airbag deploys and injure you or your passengers .
184
Pedal area
' Pedals
The pedals must always be free to move and
must never be interfered with by a floor mat or
any other object.
Make sure that all pedals move freely withou t in­
terference and that nothing prevents them from
returning to their orig inal positions .
Only use floor mats that leave the pedal area free
and can be secured with floor mat fasteners .
If a brake circuit fails, increased brake pedal trav­
el is required to bring the vehicle to a full stop.
_& WARNING
Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss
of vehicle control and increase the risk of seri­
ous injury.
- Never 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 acc ident, you would
not be able to b rake or acce lerate!
-Always make sure that nothing can fall or
move into the driver's footwell.
Floor mats on the driver side
Always use floor mats that can be securely at­ tached to the floor mat fasteners and do not in ­
terfere with the free movement of the pedals.
.. Make sure that the floor mats are properly se­
cured and cannot move and interfere with the
pedals
~ .,&.. .
Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area un­
obstructed and that are firmly secured so that
they cannot slip out of position . You can obta in
su itable floor mats from your author ized Audi
Dealer.
Floor mat fasteners are installed in your Audi.
Floor mats used in your vehicle must be attached
to these fasteners . Properly securing the f loor

What happens to occupants not wearing
safety belts?
In crashes unbelted occupants cannot stop themselves from flying forward and being in­
jured or killed. Always wear your safety belts!
Fi g. 153 A dr iver not wear ing a safety belt is violently
thrown forward
F ig . 154 A rear passenger not wear ing a safety belt will fly
forward and strik e the driver
Unbelted occupants are not able to resist the tre­
mendous fo rces of impact by holding t igh t or
b racing themse lves. Wi thout the benefit of safe­
ty restraint systems, the unrestrained occupant
will slam violently into the steering whee l, in ­
strument panel, windsh ield, or whatever else is
in the way¢
fig. 153. This impact with the vehi­
cle interior has all the energy they had just be­
fore the crash .
Never rely on airbags alone for protection. Even
when they deploy, airbags prov ide on ly additional
protection . Airbags are not supposed to deploy in
all k inds of accidents. Although your Audi is
eq uipped w ith airbags, all vehicle occupants, in­
cluding the dr iver, must wear safety belts cor­
rect ly in o rder to minimize the risk of severe in­
jury or death in a crash.
Safet y bel ts
Remember too, that airbags will dep loy only
once and that your safety belts are always there
to offer protection in those accidents in which
airbags are not supposed to dep loy or when they
have already deployed. Unbelted occupants can
also be throw n out of the vehicle where even
more severe o r fatal injuries can occ ur.
It is also important for the rear passengers to
wear safety be lts correctly. Unbe lted passengers
in the rear seats endanger not only themselves
but also the driver and other passengers
¢
fig . 154 . In a frontal collision they will be
th rown forward v io le ntly, whe re they can hit and
injure the dr iver and/or fro nt sea t pa ssenger.
Safety belts protect
People think it's possible to us e the hands to
brace the body in a minor collision. It 's simply
not true!
Fi g. 1 55 Driver is correctly restrai ned in a su dde n brak ing
m aneuver.
Safe ty belts used p roperly can ma ke a big diffe r­
ence. Safety be lts help to keep passengers in
t h eir seats, gradually reduce energy levels ap­
plied to the body in an accident, and help prevent
the u ncontrolled movement that can cause ser i­
ous injuries. In addition, safety belts reduce the
danger of be ing thrown out of the ve hicle.
Safety be lts attach passengers to the car and g ive
them the benefit of be ing s lowed down more
gently or "softly" through the "give" in the safety
belts, crush zones and other safety features engi­
neered into today's vehicles . By "absorbing" the
kinetic energy over a longer period of time, the
safety belts make the fo rces on the body more
"tolerab le" and less likely to ca use in jury.

Safety belts
Although these examples are based on a frontal
collision, safety belts can also substantially re­
duce the risk of injury in other kinds of crashes.
So, whether you're on a long trip or just going to
the corner store, always buckle up and make sure
others do, too . Accident statistics show that vehi­
cle occupants properly wearing safety belts have
a lower risk of being injured and a much better
chance of surviving an accident. Properly using
safety belts also greatly increases the ability of
the supplemental airbags to do their job in a col­
lision. For this reason, wearing a safety belt is le­
gally required in most countries including much
of the United States and Canada .
Although your Audi is equipped with airbags, you
still have to wear the safety belts provided. Front
airbags, for example, are activated only in some
frontal collisions. The front airbags are not acti­
vated in all frontal collisions, in side and rear col­
lisions, in roll overs or in cases where there is not
enough deceleration through impact to the front
of the vehicle. The same goes for the other airbag
systems in your Audi . So, always wear your safety
belt and make sure everybody in your vehicle is
properly restrained!
Important safety instructions about safety
belts
Safety belts must always be correctly positioned across the strongest bones of your body.
.. Always wear safety belts as illustrated and de­
scribed in this chapter.
.. Make sure that your safety belts are always
ready for use and are not damaged.
A WARNING
Not wearing safety belts or wearing them im­
properly increases the risk of serious personal
injury and death. Safety belts can work only
when used correctly.
- Always fasten your safety belts correctly be­
fore driving off and make sure all passen­
gers are correctly restrained.
- For maximum protection, safety belts must
always be positioned properly on the body.
192
- Never strap more than one person, includ­
ing small children, into any belt.
- Never place a safety belt
over a child sitting
on your lap.
- Always keep feet in the footwell in front of
the seat while the vehicle is being driven.
- Never let any person ride with their feet on
the instrument panel or sticking out the
window or on the seat.
- Never remove a safety belt while the vehicle
is moving. Doing so will increase your risk of
being injured or killed.
- Never wear belts twisted.
- Never wear belts over rigid or breakable ob-
jects in or on your clothing, such as eye glasses, pens, keys, etc ., as these may cause
injury.
- Never allow safety belts to become dam­
aged by being caught in door or seat hard­
ware.
- Do not wear the shoulder part of the belt
under your arm or otherwise out of position.
- Several layers of heavy clothing may inter­
fere with correct positioning of belts and re•
duce the overall effectiveness of the system.
- Always keep belt buckles free of anything
that may prevent the buckle from latching
securely.
- Never use comfort clips or devices that cre­
ate slack in the shoulder belt. However, spe­
cial clips may be required for the proper use
of some child restraint systems .
- Torn or frayed safety belts can tear and
damaged belt hardware can break in an acci­
dent. Inspect belts regularly. If webbing,
bindings, buckles, or retractors are dam­
aged, have belts replaced by an authorized
Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
- Safety belts that have been worn and loaded
in an accident must be replaced with the
correct replacement safety belt by an au­
thorized Audi dealer. Replacement may be necessary even if damage cannot be clearly
seen . Anchorages that were loaded must al­
so be inspected.
- Never remove, modify, disassemble, or try
to repair the safety belts yourself.
