with the roof ra ck sys tem. If you do not se ­
c u re the roof rac k sys tem and objec ts on the
roof cor rectly, they co uld come loose from
the vehicle and cause an accident .
- T he r is k of an accident increases when using
a roof rack system, because it changes the
driving c haracteristics by shifting the center
of gravity and/or the increasing the surface
area exposed to wind. You may need to
adapt your driv ing style and speed to the
current conditions . We recommend that you
do not dr ive faster tha n 80 mph (130 km/
h).
- Distribute the cargo evenly on the roof rack
and do not exceed the maximum width o r
the max imum tota l roof load weight .
- Before every tr ip, a ll bolts and co nnect ions
on the roof rack must be checked. Tighten
them if necessary and re che ck t hem regular­
ly. If you do not do th is, there is a higher
risk of the roof rack o r the a ttachme nts
loosening or fa lling off .
(LlJ) Note
-If yo u use o ther roof l uggage rac k systems

then a ny damage to the vehicle is no t cov ­
ered by the warranty . Caref ully follow t he

- T o red uce the risk of damage, you must re ­
move the roof rack and attachment before
tak ing yo ur vehicle thro ugh an a utomat ic
car wash.
- Ma ke sure that the luggage compartment
lid and the panorama g lass roof* do not
come into contact with objects on the roof
w hen they are open.
@) For the sake of the environment
Your vehicle wi ll use more fue l due to the in­
creased wind resistance. So remove the roof rack after us ing it.
(D Tips
Applies to: vehicles with roof racks supplied
by the factory: when installing the roof rack
supplied by the factory on the roof ra il, sensor
technology is used to adjust the ESC to any p ossib le change in the vehicle's cen ter of
g ravity resulting from the load.

-Have your vehicle maintained properly and
in accordance with the service recommenda­
tions in your Warranty
& Maintenance book­
let. Lack of proper maintenance as well as
improper use of the vehicle will impair the
function of the emission control system and
could lead to damage.
- Do not alter or remove any component of the Emission Control System unless ap­proved 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

Steering
Manual steering wheel position adjustment
Applies to: vehicle s with manu al steering wheel adjustment
The steering wheel position is adjustable up and
down and forward and back.

"Bring the steering wheel into the desired posi­
tion.
" Push the leve r against the steer ing column un­
til it is secure.
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.
-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
I
the airbag system will not be able to provide
its full protection.
- If your physical characteristics prevent you
from sitting at least 10 in (25 cm) or more
away from the steering wheel, see if an au­
thorized 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 if the 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 driver airbag
deploys.
