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.

-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

c>page 180.
A WARNING
To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the vehicle, always keep the
rear lid closed whi le driving.
- Never transport objects larger than those
fitting completely into the luggage area be cause the rear lid cannot be fully closed .
- If you absolutely must drive with the rear lid
open, observe the following notes to reduce
the risk of poisoning:
- Close al l w indows,
- Open all air outlets in the instrument pan-
el,
- Switch off the air recirculation,
- Set the fresh air fan to the highest speed.
A WARNING
Always make sure that the doors, all windows
and the rear lid are securely closed and locked
t o reduce the ris k of injury when the vehicle is
not be ing used.
- After closing the rear lid, always make su re
that it is properly closed and locked.
- Never leave yo ur vehicle unattended espe
cially with the rear lid left open. A chi ld
could crawl into the vehicle through the lug
gage compartment and close the rear lid be
coming trapped and unable to get out. Be
ing trapped in a vehicle can lead to serious
persona l injury.
- Never let children play in or around the ve hi
cle .
- Never let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. Veh icle occupants must al
ways be properly restrained in one of the ve
hicle's seating positions.
@ Tips
- Air circulation helps to reduce window fog
ging. Stale air escapes to the outside
through vents in the trim panel, on the left
side of the luggage compartment. Be sure
to keep these slots free and open.
186
- Th e tire pressure must correspond to the
load. The tire pressure is shown on the tire
pressure label. The tire pressure label is lo
cated on the driver's side B-pillar. The tire
pressure label lists the recommended cold
tire inf lation pressures for the vehicle at its
maximum capac ity we ight and the tires that
were on your vehicle at the time it was man
ufactured. For recomme nded t ire pressures
for normal load condi tions, please see chap
ter

Tie-downs
The luggage compartment is equipped with four
tie -downs to secure luggage and other items.
Fig. 149 Luggage compartment : location of the tie- downs
Use the tie-downs to secure your cargo properly
c> page 185, Loading the luggage compartment.
In a co llision , the laws of physics mean that even
smaller items that are loose in the vehicle will
become heavy missiles that can cause serious in
jury . Items in the vehicle possess energy which
vary with vehicle speed and the weight of the i tem . Vehicle speed is the most significant factor.
For example, in a frontal collision at a speed of
30 mph (48 km/h), the forces acting on a 10 lbs
(4 .5 kg) object are about
20 times the normal
weight of the item. This means that the weight
of the item would sudden ly be about
200 lbs (90 kg) . You can imag ine the injuries that
a
200 lbs (90 kg) item flying freely through the
passenger compartment could cause in a colli
sion like th is .

Your Audi TT Coupe has two seating positions in
the front and two height-limited seating posi
tions in the rear . Each seating position has a safe
ty belt. The rear seat area in your Audi TT Coupe
does not have enough room for passengers of all
sizes. For reasons of safety , no person taller than
4 ft 9 in (S7 in/1.4S m) should ever r ide in the
r ear seat area.
A WARNING
Not wearing safety belts or wearing them im
properly increases the risk of serious personal
injury and death .
Safety belts
- Never strap more than one person, includ
ing small children, into any belt. It is espe
cially dangerous to place a safety belt over
a
child sitting on your lap .
- Never let more people ride in the vehicle
than there are safety belts available.
- Be sure everyone riding in the vehicle is
properly restrained with a separate safety
belt or child restraint .

Safety belt tensioner
How safety belt pretensioners work
In front, side and rear-end collisions above a
particular severity and in a rollover, safety belts
are tensioned automatically .
Pyrotechnic safety belt pretensioners
The safety belts for the front sea ting posit ions
are equipped with safety belt pretensioners. The
system is act ivated by sensors i n front, side and
rear-end collisions of g rea t seve rity and in a ro ll
over . This tightens the belt and takes up belt
s lack
Q &. in Service and disposal of safety belt
pretensioner on page 196.
Taking up the s lack
helps to reduce forward occupant movement dur
ing a collision.
&_ WARNING
-
- It is poss ible for the pretensioners to dep loy
incorrectly.
- The pyrotechnic system can only provide protection for one collision . If the pyrotech
n ic pretens ioners dep loy, the pre tensioning
system must be replaced.
(0 Tips
The pyrotechn ic safety belt pretensioners can
