Driving
(D Note
-Have your vehicle maintained properly and
in accordance with the service recommenda ·
tions in your Warranty & Maintenance book­
let . La.ck 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 ap·
proved 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.
(0 Tips
The consumption estimates as published by
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
(EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre­
spond to your actual consumption on the
road, which will vary depending upon vehicle
load and speed, road and weather conditions,
trip length, etc.
Steering
Manual steering wheel position adjustment
Applies to: vehicles with manual steering wheel adjustment
The steering wheel position is adjustable up and
down and forward and back.

.,. Pull the lever in the direction of the arrow

.,. Bring the steering wheel into the desired posi­
tion.
.,. Push the lever against the steering 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.

Difficult terrain and off-road
When driving in unfamiliar areas and offroad,
drive slowly and keep on the watch for unexpect­
ed obstacles (such as potholes, rocks, tree
stumps, etc.).
To prevent the vehicle from bottoming out and to
reduce the risk of underbody damage, you should
drive across uneven ground on only one side of
the vehicle so that only two of your wheels cross
the uneven area, instead of driving across the
center of the uneven area with all four wheels.
Drive quickly through sandy or marshy off-road
sections and do not stop , if at all possible.
Driving through water
Also read the information found in r=;, page 74.
Driving on a slope
If you are ever unable to drive up a hill, do not try
to turn around . Drive back down in
reverse in­
stead . Otherwise you run the risk of t ipping over.
If the vehicle threatens to tip over when driving
across a slope, you must immediately steer
downhill in the direction of the slope.
Do not park your vehicle on steep hills .
To reduce the r isk of tipping over, drive on hills in
the direction of the downward slope (fa ll line) -
never crosswise.

:E ' Driving
and the lengthwise ang le @ of the vehicle are
displayed. The accuracy depends on the driving
s ituation and is norma lly around 1
°. The side­
ways angle of your vehicle should not exceed the
yellow range in the gauge. If it reaches the red
range, there is a risk that the vehicle might tip

.&_ WARNING
- Do not exceed the yellow range in the
gauge. Your vehicle can tip, which increases
the risk of an accident.
- Under some circumstances , the vehicle can
tip over or tilt sideways even if the sideways
angle is low. The angle display does not re­
p lace the driver's attention . To reduce the
risk of an accident, make sure the vehicle
does not tip, especially when you are driv ing
at high speeds.

T he automatic transmission is controlled elec­
tronically . Power is transferred using a torque
converter.
When a
moderate driving style is used, the

This will allow the tires to have approximately the same length of
service life.
For unidirectional tires, make
sure the tires are installed accord­
ing to the running direction indi­
cated on the tire sidewall
¢ page 362.
Hidden damage
Damage to tires and rims can of­
ten occur in locations that are
hidden. Unusual vibrations in the
vehicle or pulling to one side may indicate that there is tire damage.
Reduce your speed immediately.
Check the tires for damage. If no
damage is visible from the out­
s ide, drive slowly and carefully to
the nearest authorized Audi deal­ er or authorized Audi Service Fa­
cility to have the vehicle inspect­
ed.
.&_ WARNING
Tread that has worn too low or
different tread depths on the
tires can reduce driving safety.
This can increase the risk of an
accident because it has a nega­
tive effect on handling, driving
through curves, and braking, and because it increases the
340
risk of hydroplaning when driv­
ing through deep puddles.
