Memory function
Applies to: vehicles with power adjustable seats (version B)
The memory function in the remote control key
stores the driver's personalized seat profile.
The driver's seat profile is stored again and as-
signed to the remote control key each time the
vehicle is locked. When you open the door, the
seat profile is automatically recalled. If two peo-
ple use the vehicle, it is recommended that each
person always uses their “own” remote control
key.
The function must be switched on in the Infotain-
ment system so that the driver's seat profile will
be assigned to the remote control key when lock-
ing the vehicle.

Select: [MENU] button > Vehicle > left control
button > Vehicle settings > Seats > Driver's seat
> Store settings on remote control key.

Seats

Check the box is checked off /, the function is
switched on.

ZA\ WARNING
— Only adjust the front seat when the vehicle
is stationary. Otherwise, this increases the
risk of an accident
— The power front seats can also be adjusted
when the ignition is switched off. For this
reason, children should never be left unat-
tended in the vehicle because they could be
injured.
— Exercise caution when adjusting the seat
height. Unsupervised or careless seat adjust-
ment can pinch fingers or hands causing in-
juries.
— For safety reasons, the seat backrests must
always be locked while driving.
— The front seat backrests must not be re-
clined too far back when driving, because
this impairs the effectiveness of the safety
belts and airbag system, which increases the
risk of injury.
—To minimize the risk of injury during sudden
braking or a collision, the driver and the
front passenger must not drive or ride with
the backrest in the reclined position. The
safety belts and airbag system can only pro-
vide the greatest protection possible when
the backrests are in the upright position and
the safety belts are worn correctly. The more
a backrest is reclined, the greater the risk of
injury due to an incorrect seating position
and safety belt position.

@ Tips
If you do not wish to have the seat profile for
another driver assigned to the remote control
key, switch the memory function off in the In-
fotainment system.
Adjusting bucket seats
Applies to: vehicles with bucket seats

@- Releasing the backrest: pull the strap and
fold the backrest forward.

Z\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of an accident, only adjust
the seat when the vehicle is stationary.
— The power seats can also be adjusted when
the ignition is switched off. For this reason,
children should never be left unattended in
the vehicle because they could be injured.
— Exercise caution when adjusting the seat
height. Adjusting the seat carelessly or with-
out checking can pinch hands and fingers.
— For safety reasons, the seat backrests must
always be locked while driving.
— Never drive with a safety belt through the
openings in the backrest. Otherwise the
backrest could fold forward while driving
and cause an accident.

Airbag system

12 month old and younger and for “low risk de-
ployment” for children aged 3 to 6 years old (as
defined in the standard).
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 3; 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.
Each time you turn on the ignition, the PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF 3; ON @ light will come on
for a few seconds and:
— PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 3; will come on if
the front passenger seat is not occupied,
— PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 3; will come on if
the electrical capacitance measured by the ca-
pacitive passenger detection system for the
front passenger seat equals 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 with which the Ad-
vanced Airbag System in your vehicle was certi-
fied. For a listing of the child restraints that
were used to certify your vehicle's compliance
with the U.S. Safety Standard > page 213.
— PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #; will come on if
there is a small child or child restraint on the
front passenger seat,
— PASSENGER AIR BAG ON @ will go off if the
front passenger seat is occupied by an adult as
registered by the capacitive passenger detec-
tion system > page 198, Monitoring the Ad-
vanced Airbag System.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 3; light comes on
when electrical capacitance registered on the
front passenger seat is equal to or less than the
combined capacitance of a typical 1 year-old in-
fant and one of the rearward-facing or forward-
facing child restraints listed in Federal Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standard 208 with which the Ad-
vanced Airbag System in your vehicle was certi-
fied.
If the total electrical capacitance registered on
the front passenger seat is more than that of a
typical 1 year-old child but less than the weight
of a small adult, the front airbag on the passen-
ger side can deploy (the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF 3¥; light does not come on).
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 3%; light does
not come on, the front airbag on the passenger
side has not been turned off by the electronic
control unit and can deploy if the control unit
senses an impact that meets the conditions stor-
ed in its memory.
For example, the airbag may deploy if:
—asmall child that is heavier than a typical 1
year-old child is on the front passenger seat (re-
gardless of whether the child is in one of the
child safety seats listed > page 213), or
—a child who has outgrown child restraints is on
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger airbag is turned off, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #; light comes on in
the headliner and stays on.
If the front passenger airbag deploys, the Federal
Standard requires the airbag to meet the “low
risk” deployment criteria to reduce the risk of in-
jury through interaction with the airbag. “Low
risk” deployment occurs in those crashes that
take place at lower decelerations as defined in
the electronic control unit > page 199, PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF $¥; ON ® light.
Always 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 collision. The air-
bag could greatly reduce the effectiveness of the
child restraint and even seriously injure the child
during inflation.

Z\ 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 inflating 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. >

Airbag system

more than the total electrical capacitance of a
child that is about 1 year old restrained in one
of the rear-facing or forward-facing infant re-
straints (listed in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 208 with which the Advanced Airbag
System in your vehicle was certified), the front
airbag on the passenger side may or may not
deploy.
The
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 3; light comes on
when the electronic control unit detects a total
electrical capacitance on the front passenger seat
that requires the front airbag to be turned off. If
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF %; 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 total electrical capacitance 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
Bw. light does not come on).
For example, the airbag may deploy if:
—asmall child that is heavier than a typical 1
year-old child is on the front passenger seat (re-
gardless of whether the child is in one of the
child seats listed > page 213),
—a child who has outgrown child restraints is on
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger airbag is turned off, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #%; light in the head-
liner will come on and stay on.
If the front passenger airbag deploys, the Federal
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 defined
in the electronic control unit > page 198.
Always remember: Please be sure to read the im-
portant information in the sections that follow
and be sure to heed all of the WARNINGS.

ZA WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury when an airbag in-
flates, always wear safety belts properly.
— If you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sit-
ting sideways or out of position in any way,
your risk of injury is much higher.
— You will also receive serious injuries and
could even be killed if you are up against the
airbag or too close to it when it inflates -
even with an Advanced Airbag > page 187.

Z\ 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.
— Although the Advanced Airbag System in
your vehicle is designed to turn off the front
airbag when a rearward-facing child re-
straint has been installed on the front pas-
senger seat, nobody can absolutely guaran-
tee that deployment is impossible in all con-
ceivable situations that may happen during
the useful life of your vehicle.
— The inflating 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.
— If you must install a rearward facing child
safety seat on the front passenger seat be-
cause of exceptional circumstances and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF %; light does not
come on and stay on have the airbag system
inspected by your Audi dealer.


Z\ 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-facing seat
has been designed and certified by its manu-
facturer for use on a front seat with a pas-
senger front and side airbag.
— Never put the forward-facing child restraint
up against or very near the instrument pan-
el.
