What impairs driving safety?
Safe driving is dire ctly 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.
T he dr iver is responsib le for the sa fe ty of the ve
hicle and a ll of its occupants. If your ability to
drive is impai red, safety risks for everybody in the
vehicl e inc rease and you a lso become a hazard to
everyone else on the road
¢ A_ . Therefore:
.. Do not let yourse lf be distracted by passenge r
or by using a ce llular telephone .
.. NEVER drive when your driving ability is im
pa ired (by med ications, alcohol, drugs, etc.) .
.. Observe all traffic laws, rules of the road and
speed lim its and plain common sense .
.. ALWAYS adjust your speed to road, traffic and
weather conditions .

A WARNING
Impaired driving safety increases the risk of
serious personal injury and death whenever a
vehicle is being used.

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 wh ile
k eeping your knee(s) s lightly bent
c:> .&_ .
,.. Adjust the angle of the seatback so that it is in
an upright position so that your back comes in
full contact with it when you drive.
,.. Adjust the steering wheel so that there is a dis
tance of at least 10 in (25 cm) between the
steering wheel and your breast bone
c:> fig. 150.
If not possible, see your authorized Audi deal
ersh ip about adaptive equipment .
,.. Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering
whee l and airbag cover points at you r chest and
not at your face.

c:> page 190 .
,.. Always keep both feet in the footwell so that
you are in control of the vehicle at all times .
For detailed information on how to adjust the
driver's seat, see
c:> page 46, Front seats.
A WARNING
Drivers who are unbelted, out of position or
too close to the airbag can be seriously in -
ju red by an airbag as it unfolds. To help re-
duce the risk of serious pe rsonal injury:
-Always adjust the driver's seat and the
steer ing wheel so that the re are at least
10 in (25 cm) between your breastbone and
the steering wheel.
-Always adjust the driver's seat and the
steer ing whee l so that there are at least 4 in
(10 cm) between the knees and the lower
pa rt of the instrument pane l.
- 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 dr iver's a irbag inflates.
- Never hold the steering wheel at the
12 o'clock position or with your hands at
other positions inside the steering whee l
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 coll i
sion.
- Always sit in an upright pos it ion 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 . ..,.
Page 183 of 310

Cl 00 .-< N r-N .-< 0 r-Vl 00
-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 216. Special precautions apply
when installing a child seat on the front
passenger seat ¢
page 194.
Proper seating position for the front
passenger
The proper front passenger seating position is
important 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 190.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
front passenger's seat, see ¢
page 46.
A 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 .
Safe driving
-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 adjust 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
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 216. Special precautions apply
when installing a child seat on the front
passenger seat ¢
page 194.
Examples of improper seating positions
The occupant restraint system can only reduce
the risk of injury if vehicle occupants are properly
seated.
Improper seating positions can cause serious in
jury or death. Safety belts can only work when
they are properly positioned on the body. Im
proper seating positions reduce the effectiveness
of safety belts and will even increase the risk of
injury and death by moving the safety belt to crit
ical areas of the body . Improper seating positions
also increase the risk of serious injury and death
when an airbag deploys and strikes an occupant
who is not in the proper seating position. A driver
is responsible for the safety of all vehicle occu-
pants and especially for children. Therefore:

Important safety instructions
A WARNING
Alw ays ma ke sure that t he knee ai rbag can in
flate without interferen ce. Obje cts between
yourse lf and the airbag can increase the risk
of injury in an accident by interfering with the
182
way the airbag dep loys o r by being pushed in
to you as the airbag dep loys.
- No persons (chi ldren) o r anima ls should ride
in the footwell in front of the passenger
seat.
If the airbag deploys, this can resu lt in
serious or fatal injuries.
- No objects of any kind should be carried in the footwell area in front of the dr iver's or
passenger's seat . Bu lky objects (shopping
bags, for examp le) can hamper or prevent
proper dep loyment of the a irbag. Sma ll ob
jects ca n be thrown th ro ugh t he ve hicle if
the airbag deploys a nd injur e you or your
p a sse ngers.
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 free ly without in
terference and t hat nothing prevents them from
returning to their orig inal positions .
Only use floor mats t hat leave the pedal area free
and can be secured with floor mat fasteners.
If a bra ke circuit fails , in creased bra ke pedal trav
el is req uired to b ring the vehicle to a fu ll stop.
A WARNING
Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss
of vehicle contro l and increase the risk of se ri
ous injury .
- Never p lace any objects in the driver's foot
we ll. An object could get into the peda l area
and interfere with pedal funct ion. In case of
sudden b raking or an acc ident, you would
not be able to brake or acce lerate!
- Always make sure that nothing can fall or move into the driver's footwel l.
