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 .
.,.

Safe dri ving
,.. Take 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
serious personal injury and death whenever a
vehicle is being used.
Correct passenger
seating positions
Proper seating position for the driver
The proper driver 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 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.
180
,.. Grasp the top of the steering wheel with your
elbow(s) slightly bent.
,.. Fasten and wear safety belts correctly
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 . ..,.

Safety belts
General notes
Always wear safety belts!
Wearing safety belts correctly saves lives!
This chapter exp lains why safety be lts are neces­
sary, how they work and how to adjust and wear
them correctly.
• Read all the information that follows and heed
all of the instructions and WARNINGS.
A WARNING
Not wearing safety belts or wearing them im­
properly increases the risk of serious personal
injury and death.
- Safety belts are the s ingle most effective
means ava ilable to reduce the risk of serious
injury and death in automobile accidents.
For your protection and that of your passen­
gers, always correctly wear safety belts
when the vehicle is moving.
- Pregnant women, injured, or physically im­
paired persons must also use safety belts.
Like all vehicle occupants, they are more
likely to be seriously injured if th ey do not
wear safety belts. The best way to protect a
fetus is to protect the mother -throughout
the entire pregnancy.
Number of seats
Your veh icle has two seating positions. Each seat­
ing position has a safety belt.
A WARNING
Not wearing safety belts or wearing them im­
properly increases the risk of serious personal
injury and death.
- Never strap more than one person, includ­
ing sma ll ch ildren, into any belt.
It is espe­
ci ally da ngerous to place a safety belt over a
ch ild sitting on your lap.
- Never let more people ride in the vehicle
than there are safety belts available.

Airbag system
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF~; light in the
headliner tells you when the front Advanced Air­
bag on the passenger side has been turned off by
the electronic control unit.
E ach time you turn on the ignition, the
PASSEN­
GER AIR BAG OFF
"1; ON@ light will come on
for a few seconds and:
- PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; will come on if
the front passenger seat is not occupied,
-PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; will come on if
t h e e lectrica l capacitance measured by the ca­
pacitive passenger detection system for the
front passenger seat equa ls the combined ca ­
pacitance of an infant up to about one year of
age and one of the rearward-facing or forward­
facing child restraints listed in Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 208 w ith which the Ad­
vanced Airbag System in your vehicle was certi­
fied. For a listing of the ch ild restraints that
were used to cert ify your vehicle 's compliance
with the U.S. Safety Standard
¢page 218.
- PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF~; will come on if
there is a small child or ch ild rest raint on the
front passenger seat,
-PASSENGER AIR BAG ON @w ill go off if the
front passenger seat is occupied by an adult as
registered by the capacitive passenger detec­
tion system ¢
page 205, Monitoring the Ad­
vanced Airbag System .
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF~; light comes on
when electrical capacitance registered on t he
front passenger seat is equa l to or less than the
combined capacitance of a typica l 1 year -o ld in­
fant and one of the rearward-facing or forward ­
facing ch ild restraints listed in Federal Motor Ve­
h icle Safety Standard 208 with wh ich the Ad­
vanced A irbag System in your vehicle was cert i­
f ie d.
If the tota l electrical capac itance registered on
the front passenger seat is more than that of a
typical 1 year-old child but less than the we ight
of a small adult, the front a irbag on the passen­
ge r side ca n deploy (the
PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF
"1; light does not come on).
If the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF "1; light does
not come on, the front a irbag on the passenger
196
side has not been turned off by the electronic
contro l unit and can deploy if the contro l unit
senses an impact that meets the conditions stor­
ed in its memory.
For example , the airbag may deploy
if:
-a small c hild that is heav ier than a typica l 1
year-old child is on the front passenger seat
(regard less of whethe r the child is in one of the
child sa fety seats listed ¢
page 218), or
- a child who has outgrown child restraints is on
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger a irbag is turned off, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF~; light comes on in
the headliner and stays on.
If the front passenger airbag deploys, the Feder­
al Standard requires the airbag to meet the "low
r isk" dep loyment cr iteria to reduce the r isk of in­
jury through interaction w ith the airbag. "Low
risk" deployment occurs in those crashes that
take place at lower decelerations as defined in
the e lectronic contro l unit ¢
page 206, PASSEN­
GER AIR BAG
OFF~; ON~ light.
A lways remember, a child seat or infant carrier
installed on the front seat may be struck and
knocked out of position by the rapidly inflating
passenger's airbag in a frontal col lision. The air­
bag could great ly reduce the effectiveness of the
c hi ld restraint and even ser iously injure the child
during inflat io n.
A WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing child seat instal­
led on the front passenger seat will be seri­
ously injured and can be killed if the front air­
bag inflates
-even with an Advanced Airbag
System.
- The inflat ing airbag will hit the child seat or
infant carrier with great force and will
smash the child seat and child against the
backrest, center armrest, door or roof.
- Forward-facing child seats installed on the
front passenger's seat may interfere with
the deployment of the airbag and cause se­
r ious personal injury to the ch ild.

Cl 00 .-< N r-­N .-< 0 r-­Vl 00
A WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must in­
stall a forward-facing child restraint on the
front passenger's seat:
- Always make sure the forward-fac ing seat
has been designed and certified by its man­
ufacturer for use on a front seat with a pas­
senger front and s ide a irbag.
- Never put the forward-facing child restraint
up against or ve ry near the instrument pan­
el.
- Always move the front passenger seat to
the highest position in the up and down ad­
justment range and move it back to the
re ar most position in the se at's fore and aft
adjustment range, as fa r away from the air ­
bag as possib le, before insta lling the for­
ward-facing child restraint .
-Always make sure that the safety belt upper
anchorage is behind the child restraint and
not next to or in front of the chi ld restraint
so that the safety belt will be properly pos i­
t ioned.
- Make sure that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF ~; light comes on and stays on a ll the
t ime whenever the ignition is switched on.
A WARNING
To red uce the risk of serious in jury, make s ure
that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; light
w ill be displayed whenever a child restra int is
installed on the front passenge r seat and the
ign ition is swi tched on.
-If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; light
does not stay on, perfo rm the che cks descri­
bed
¢ page 205, Monitoring the Advanced
Airbag System .
-Have the airbag system inspe cte d by your
Audi dealer imme diately.
- Always caref ully follow instru ctions from
ch ild res tra int m anufa ctu rers when instal­
ling child restraints .

A WARNING
--
If, in exceptional c ircumstances, you must in­
stall a forward or rearward-facing child re­
stra int on the fron t passenger 's seat :
- Imp roper installat ion of child restraints can
reduce the ir effectiveness or even prevent
them from providing any pro tect ion .
- An improperly installed child restra int can
interfere wi th the airbag as it deploys and
serio usly injure or even kil l the chi ld -even
wit h an Advanced A irbag System.
- Always carefully follow the manufacturer's
instr uctions provided with the child seat or
earner.
- Always make sure that there is noth ing on
the front passenge r seat tha t will cause the
capacitive p assenge r de te ction system in
the sea t to signal to the Airb ag System th at
the seat is occup ied by a person when i t is
not, or to signal that it is occupied by some­
one who is heavier than the person actually
sitt ing on the seat. The presence of addi­
tional objects could cause the passenger
front ai rbag to be turned on when it should
be off, or cou ld cause the ai rbag to work in a
way that is different from the way it wou ld
h ave wo rked withou t the objec t on the seat.

Airbag syste m
airbag on the passenger side may or may not
deploy.
The
PAS SENGER AIR B AG OFF ~; light comes o n
when the e lectron ic control un it detects a total
e lectrica l capacitance on the front passenger seat
that requires the front airbag to be turned
off . If
the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF '1; light does not
come on, the front airbag on the passenger side has not been turned
off by the control unit and
can deploy if the control unit senses an impact
that meets the conditions stored in its memory .
If the tota l electrical capac itance registered on
the front passenger seat is more than that of a
typical 1 year -old, but less than the weight of a
small adult , the front airbag on the passenger
side may deploy (the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
~ ; light does not come on).
For exampl e, th e airbag may d eploy if:
- a small child that is heavier than a typical 1
year-old ch ild is on the front passenger seat
(regardless of whether the child is in one of the
ch ild seats listed
r=;,page 218),
- a chi ld who has outgrown child restraints is on
the front passenger seat .
If the front passenger airbag is turned off , the
P ASS ENGER AIR BA G OFF~; light in the head­
liner will come on and stay on .
I f the front passenger airbag dep loys, the Feder ­
a l Standard requires the airbag to meet the "low
risk" deployment criteria to help reduce the risk
of injury through interaction with the airbag.
"Low risk" deployment occurs in those crashes
that take place at lower decelerations as def ined
i n the electronic control
un it ¢ page 205 .
Alw ays remember: Please be sure to read the im­
portant information in the sections that follow
and be sure to heed all of the WARNINGS .
A WARNING
To red uce the risk of inju ry when an a irbag in­
flates, a lways wear safety belts p roperly.
- If you are unrestrained, lean ing forward, s it­
t ing s ideways or out of pos ition in any way,
yo ur r isk of i njur y is m uch higher.

A WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing child seat instal­
led on t he front passenger seat will be seri­
ously injured and ca n be killed if the front air­
bag inflates -even with an Advanced Airbag
Sys tem.
- Altho ugh the Advanced Airbag System in
your veh icle is des igned to tur n

senger seat, nobody can abso lute ly guaran ­
tee t hat dep loyment is impossib le in all con ­
ceivab le situat ions that may happen d uring
the useful life of your vehicle.
- The inflating airbag will h it the ch ild seat or
infant carrier with great force and will
smash the child seat and child against the backrest, center armrest, door, or roof .
- If you m ust install a rearward facing child
safety seat on the front passenger seat be­
cause of except ional circ umstances and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~; light does not
