Sitting correctly and 
safely 
Correct passenger 
seating position 
General information 
The correct seating position for all passengers is 
vital  for safe driving and is the responsibility of 
the driver. 
Correct seating position 
Before you begin driving, seat yourself correctly 
and always maintain the correct seating position 
during the trip. Before each trip, instruct your 
passengers to seat themselves correctly and to 
maintain this seating position during the trip. 
Make sure that: 
— Every passenger in the vehicle has adjusted his 
or her seat correctly > page 56 
— The steering wheel is adjusted correctly 
=>page 58 
— The mirrors are adjusted so that there is  a suffi- 
cient view of the area around the vehicle 
> page 48 
— Every passenger in the vehicle has his or her 
head restraint adjusted correctly > page 59 
— Every passenger in the vehicle has his or her 
safety belt fastened correctly > page 60 
— The activation status of the front passenger's 
airbag is suitable for the passenger in the front 
passenger's seat > page 67 
— Children are secured in suitable child safety 
seats that are secured to appropriate vehicle 
seats > page 69. Read and observe the impor- 
tant safety information pertaining to the use of 
child safety seats on the front passenger's seat 
=> A\ in General information on page 69. 
Examples of incorrect seating positions 
Safety belts can only provide its optimal protec- 
tion when they are routed correctly. Incorrect 
seating positions significantly reduce the protec- 
tive functions of the safety belts and increase the 
risk  of injury due to incorrect belt routing. 
The following list includes examples of seating 
positions that could be dangerous for all vehicle 
occupants. This is not a complete list. The pur- 
pose is to provide examples to increase your 
awareness of the topic. The following points ap- 
ply when the vehicle is in motion: 
— Never stand inside the vehicle. 
— Never stand on the seats. 
— Never kneel on the seats. 
— Never tilt your backrest too far back. 
— Never lean against the instrument panel. 
— Never lie down on the rear bench seat. 
— Never sit only on the front section of the seat. 
— Never sit sideways on the seat. 
— Never lean against the window. 
— Never place your feet out of the window. 
— Never place your feet on the instrument panel. 
— Never place your feet on the seat cushion. 
— Never ride in the footwell. 
— Never sit on the armrests. 
— Never drive or ride in a seat without fastening 
your safety belt. 
— Never ride in the luggage compartment. 
  
Z\ WARNING 
Incorrect seating positions, failure to wear a 
safety belt, or being too close to an airbag in- 
crease the risk of serious injury or death to ve- 
hicle occupants, especially if the airbags de- 
ploy and come into contact with occupants 
who are not seated correctly. Note the impor- 
tant information and warnings in the chapters 
for the topics given above. 
@ Tips 
— Save  your seat profile* > page 63. This al- 
lows you to access your personal seat profile 
quickly and easily at any time. 
— If you or other vehicle passengers have 
physical limitations that prevent sitting ina 
correct position, modifications to the vehi- 
cle may be necessary. For more information, 
contact an authorized Audi dealer or author- 
ized Audi Service Facility, or call Audi cus- 
tomer support at 1-800-822-2834.

Front seats 
(erreur laced) 
Make sure that: 
— You can press the pedals down completely 
when your legs are slightly bent 
— The distance between your upper body and the 
steering wheel or instrument panel is at least 
10 in (25 cm) 
— The distance between your knees and the in- 
strument panel is at least 4 in (10 cm) 
— Your thighs are lightly supported by the front 
surface of the seat 
— The backrest is in an upright position and your 
back is resting against it 
— You have a sufficient view of the area around 
the vehicle 
— You have a clear view of the instrument cluster, 
indicator lights, and the head-up display* 
Seat settings menu: quick access 
Applies to: vehicles with seat settings in the MMI 
If you press on the image of the driver's or front 
passenger's seat in the climate control system 
menu > page 81, fig. 83 @, you will go directly 
to the seat settings for that seat. 
  
Z\ WARNING 
— If you are too close to the steering wheel or 
instrument panel, the airbag system cannot 
provide the optimal protection, which in- 
creases the risk of injury and death. 
—To reduce the risk of injury in the event of 
sudden braking maneuvers or accidents, 
never drive with the backrest reclined very 
far. The airbag system and seat belts can on- 
ly provide optimal protection when the back- 
rest is in an upright position and the driver 
is wearing the seat belt correctly. If the 
backrest is angled back too far, the safety 
belt can shift to soft areas of the body, such 
as the stomach, which increases the risk of 
injury. 
—To reduce the risk of an accident, only adjust 
the seats when the vehicle is stationary. 
— Be careful when adjusting the seat. Lack of 
control or attention when adjusting can re- 
      
56 
  
sult in injuries due to pinching to vehicle oc- 
cupants both in the front  seats and rear 
seats. 
— Never place objects in the driver's footwell. 
Objects could shift and enter the area 
around the pedals, which could prevent you 
from using them. You would then be unable 
to use the pedals if sudden driving or brak- 
ing maneuvers were needed, which increas- 
es the risk of an accident. 
— Make sure that the floor mats are always se- 
curely attached. 
—To reduce the risk of an accident, never place 
additional floor mats or other floor covers 
over the installed floor mats, because this 
reduces the pedal's range of motion and can 
impair pedal operation. 
—To reduce the risk of injury, never place your 
feet on the instrument panel, out of the 
window, or on the seat surfaces. This also 
  
applies to passengers in the rear seats. 
  
@) Note 
To reduce the risk of damage, be very careful 
when adjusting the seat to make sure the 
head restraints do not come into contact with 
the headliner or the sunroof*. 
@ Tips 
At the same time, only move the respective 
seat using the controls.

Steering wheel 
General information 
Make sure that: 
— The distance between your upper body and the 
steering wheel is at least 10 in (25 cm) 
— Your arms are bent slightly at the elbows 
— You have a sufficient view of the area around 
the vehicle and can always keep the instrument 
cluster  and head-up display* in view  

4KE012721BB 
Sitting correctly and safely 
  
— You are always holding the steering wheel with 
both hands on the outer edge at the sides (9:00 
and 
3:00 position) when driving 
  
Z\ WARNING 
— If you are too close to the steering wheel, 
the driver's airbag cannot provide optimal 
protection, which increases the risk of injury 
or death. 
— Never hold the steering wheel in the 12:00 
position or in any other way, such as holding 
the center of the steering wheel. Otherwise, 
your arms, hands, and head could be injured 
in the event that the driver's airbag deploys.

Head restraints 
General information 
  
B4G-0454 
  
  
    
Fig. 54 Correctly adjusted head restraints 
Make sure that: 
— The upper edge of the head restraint is as even 
as possible with the top of your head 
— The head restraint is as close as possible to the 
back of your head 
— The head restraints on the occupied rear seats 
are positioned all the way up 
  
Z\ WARNING 
— There is one head restraint for each seat. All 
vehicle occupants must adjust the head re- 
straint correctly before every trip. Having 
head restraints that are not adjusted cor- 
rectly or not installed in the vehicle increas- 
es the risk of a neck injury during sudden or 
unexpected driving or braking maneuvers or 
in a collision. 
— Only remove the rear seat head restraints if 
it is necessary to install a child safety seat 
=> page 69. Stow the removed head re- 
straints securely, for example in the luggage 
compartment. Reinstall the head restraints 
immediately once the child safety seat has 
been removed. Driving without head re- 
straints increases the risk of serious neck in- 
juries.
