brake rotors and pads by caref ull y applying
the brakes several t imes .
-If the front spoiler is damaged or you install
another spoiler, make sure the front wheel
brakes are vent ilated properly. Otherwise,
the brake system could overheat, wh ich re­
duces the ir effectiveness .
- Failure of a brake circuit impairs b raking
performance , which increases brak ing dis­
tance. Avoid driving the vehicle and have it
towed it to the nearest author ized Audi
dealer or author ized A udi Se rvice Facility.
- Never let the vehicle roll while t he engine is
stopped because this increases the risk of a n
acc iden t.
- If the bra ke booste r is not working, you will
have to press m uch ha rder on the bra ke
ped al to compensate for the lac k of th e
booster.
- Never let the brakes "rub " by pressing the
pedal light ly when bra king is no t actually
ne cessary . T his cause s the brakes to over­
hea t and i ncre ases br aking di stance and
ca uses wear.
- B efo re driv ing downh ill a long dis tance on a
steep h ill, decrease your speed and se lec t a
l ower gear . This makes use of the engine
braking effect and relieves the brakes . If
you need to b rake additionally, brake in in­
tervals and not continuously.
@ Tips
- If the brake booste r is not working, you
must press the brake pedal with much more
fo rce than normal.
- If you retrofit yo ur vehicle with a front spoil­
er, whee l
covers or similar items, make sure
that the air flow to the front whee ls is not
i nterr upted . Otherw ise the brake system
ca n become too hot .

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.
Safe d riving
Correct passenger
seating positions
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
¢page 193 .
.. Always keep both feet in the footwell so that
you are in contro l of the vehicle at all times.

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 .

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.
