Sitting correctly and safely 
  
  
injury. Always secure child safety seats on 
the rear seats. If special circumstances re- 
quire the use of a child safety seat on the 
front passenger's seat, always make sure 
that PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF &%; re- 
mains on while driving. If 
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #%, does not 
turn on, remove the child safety seat and in- 
stall it again according to the child safety 
seat manufacturer instructions. If 
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF &%; still does 
not turn on, the front passenger's seat must 
not be used. Drive to an authorized Audi 
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility 
and have the airbag system inspected. 
— Fluids, electronic devices, or mechanical 
damage on the front passenger's seat may 
cause the front passenger seat occupant de- 
tection to malfunction. The system may 
then incorrectly detect if the front passeng- 
er's seat is occupied. As a result, it could de- 
ploy the front passenger’s airbag incorrectly 
or fail to deploy it, which increases the risk 
of serious or fatal injury. Make sure that no 
wet objects (such as a wet hand towel) and 
no fluids come into contact with the front 
passenger's seat cushion. If the front pas- 
senger's seat becomes wet, dry it immedi- 
ately. Make sure no electronic devices (such 
as a laptop or a retrofitted seat heater) are 
on the front passenger's seat. Do not trans- 
port any objects on or under the front pas- 
senger's seat. 
— Seat covers or protective covers may prevent 
the advanced airbag system from correctly 
detecting child safety seats or passengers in 
the front passenger's seat. You must not use 
seat covers or protective covers on the front 
passenger's seat that are not specifically ap- 
proved for use on Audi seats with an ad- 
vanced airbag system.

Z\ WARNING 
To reduce the risk  of serious or fatal injuries, 
children must always be secured in the vehicle 
with a child safety seat that is appropriate for 
their body size, weight, and age. 
— Children ages 12 and under must be trans- 
ported using the appropriate child safety 
seat. Note  differences in regulations be- 
tween states and countries. 
— Child safety seats secured incorrectly in the 
vehicle may cause serious or fatal injuries in 
the event of an accident. Always secure the 
child safety seat according to the manufac- 
turer instructions. 
— Children or babies must not under any cir- 
cumstances be held on the lap of the driver 
or other passengers while driving. 
— Do not secure more than one child in a child 
safety seat. 
— Never allow a child to sit in a child safety 
seat unsupervised. 
— Never allow children to ride unsecured in the 
vehicle or  to stand or kneel on the seats 
while driving. In the event of an accident, a 
child could be propelled through the vehicle.

matic transmission, power steer- 
ing, power brakes, power win- 
dows, power seats, radio, and 
heater, to the extent that these 
items are available as factory-in- 
stalled equipment (whether in- 
stalled or not). 
Aspect ratio 
means the ratio of the height to 
the width of the tire in percent. 
Numbers of 55 or lower indicate a 
low sidewall for improved steer- 
ing response and better overall 
handling on dry pavement. 
Bead 
means the  part of the tire that is 
made of steel wires, wrapped or 
reinforced by ply cords  and that is 
shaped to fit the rim. 
Bead separation 
means a breakdown of the bond 
between components in the bead. 
Cord 
means the strands forming the 
plies in the tire. 
Cold tire inflation pressure 
means the tire pressure recom- 
mended by the vehicle manufac- 
turer for a tire of a designated 
size that has not been driven for 
more than a couple of miles (kilo- 
meters) at low speeds in the three 
hour period before the tire pres- 
sure is measured or adjusted. 
Curb weight 
means the weight of a motor ve- 
hicle with standard equipment in- 
cluding the maximum capacity of 
fuel, oil, and coolant, air condi- 
tioning and additional weight of 
optional equipment. 
Extra load tire 
means a tire designed to operate 
at higher loads and at higher in- 
flation pressures than the corre- 
sponding standard tire. Extra  load 
tires may be identified as “XL”, 
“xL’, “EXTRA LOAD”, or “RF” on 
the sidewall.
