For your own safety, and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
the following driving position.

•
Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel so
there is a distance of at least 25 cm between
your breastbone and the centre of the steering

wheel
o>F/g.
208.

•
Adjust the height and fore/aft position of the
driver's seat so that you are able to press the
pedals to the floor without fully straightening
your legs
oA.

•
Adjust the backrest to an upright position so
that your back remains in contact with the up­
holstery.

*•
Adjust the longitudinal position of the steering
wheel so that your arms are slightly bent and
you can read the dials and instruments easily.

•
Make sure that you can comfortably reach the
top of the steering wheel.

•
AppLies to adjustable head restraints: Adjust
the head restraint so that the top of the head
restraint is
level
with the top of your head. If
this is not possible, try to adjust the head re­
straint as near as possible to this position.

•
Fasten your seat belt correctly
^>page
275.

•
Keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in
full controL of the vehicle at all times.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
driver's seat, see
^>page
58, Front seats.
A WARNING
A driver who is not sitting in the correct
posi­

tion or who is not wearing a seat belt can be
fatally injured
if
the airbag is triggered.
- Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel
so there is a distance of at least 25 cm be­
tween your breastbone and the centre of the
steering wheel
^>Fig.
208.
-While driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
rim at about the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock
posi­

tion.
This reduces the risk of injury if the
driver's airbag inflates.
- Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position, or with your hands inside
the rim or on the steering wheel hub. This
could result in serious injuries to the arms,
hands and head if the driver's airbag in­

flates.

- To reduce any risk of injury to the driver dur­
ing a sudden brake application or in an
acci­

dent, never drive with the backrest tilted
too far back. The airbag system and seat
belts can only provide proper protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the driver is wearing the seat belt in the
correct position. The further the backrest is
tilted back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the belt webbing
or an incorrect sitting position.
- Adjust the head restraint properly so that it
can give maximum protection.
Correct position for the front passenger

The
front seat passenger must sit at least 25 cm
away from the dash panel so that the airbag has
enough room to inflate and give maximum pro­
tection in an accident.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of
an
accident, we recommend
adjusting the front passenger's seat as follows:

•
Adjust the backrest to an upright position so
that your back remains in contact with the up­
holstery.

•
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the
head restraint is level with the top of your

Even
at
urban speeds
of
30 km/h to 50 km/h, the
forces acting on the occupants in a collision can
reach the equivalent
of
1 ton (1000 kg)
or
more.
At greater speed these forces are even higher.

Again:
if
the speed doubles, the forces increase
by
a
factor of four.
Passengers who do not wear seat belts are not

"attached"
to the vehicle. In a frontal collision
they will continue to move forward at the speed
their car was travelling just before the impact.
What happens to passengers not wearing
seat belts?

Passengers
not wearing seat belts risk fatal inju­
ries in the event
of
an
accident.

In a frontal collision, unbelted passengers will be
thrown forwards and make violent contact with
the steering wheel, dashboard, windscreen, etc

^Fig.
218. Passengers not wearing their belts
risk being thrown out of the car. This could result
in potentially fatal injuries.
The common belief that occupants can brace
their weight with their hands in a minor collision
is false. Even
at
low speeds the forces acting
on

the body in a collision are so great that
it
is not
possible to hold yourself in the seat.
It is also important for the rear passengers
to

wear seat belts, as they could otherwise be
thrown forwards violently in an accident. Rear
passengers who do not use seat belts endanger
not only themselves but also the other occupants

The
airbag system is not a substitute for the seat
belts.
When fully inflated, the airbags reduce the risk
of head or chest
injury.

portant safety notes on the front airbag system

Fig.
230 Front airbags in inflated condition
The driver's and front passenger's airbag are
trig­

gered in certain frontal collisions
^>Fig.
230. Fur­
ther airbag systems may also be triggered, de­
pending on the circumstances.
When the system is triggered, the airbags fill
with a propellant gas and open out in front of the
driver and front passenger
^>Fig.
230. In order to
provide the desired extra protection in an
acci­

dent, the airbags have to inflate extremely rapid­
ly (within fractions of
a
second). The fully de­
ployed airbags cushion the forwards movement
of the front occupants and help to reduce the risk
of injury to the head and the upper part of the
body.
Special openings in the airbag allow the gas to
escape at
a
controlled rate to restrain the for­
ward movement of the occupant's head and tor­

so.
Once the impact has been absorbed, the air-
bag deflates sufficiently for the front occupants
to see forward.

Airbag system
Important safety notes on the front airbag
system
There are a number of safety points concerning
the airbag system which you should remember.
This will help to reduce the risk of injury in an ac­
cident.

25cm

Fig.
231 Minimum distance from steering wheel
A WARNING
- It is important for the driver and front pas­
senger to maintain a distance of at least
25 cm from the steering wheel or dash­
board
oFig.
231. The airbag system will not
be able to give the required protection if you
sit too close to the steering wheel or dash­

board.
There is also a risk of injury if the air-
bags are inflated. The front seats and head
restraints must always be positioned cor­
rectly for the height of the occupant.
- If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean
forward or to the side, or are not seated cor­
rectly while the vehicle is in motion, you are
at greater risk of injury. Should the airbag
system be triggered in an accident there is
an even greater risk of injury.
- Never let a child travel on the front seat
without an appropriate restraint system. If
the airbag is triggered in an accident, the
child could sustain serious or fatal injuries

^>page
267, Child seats.
- Child seats in which the child faces the rear
of the car are located directly in the path of
the front passenger's airbag if it inflates. In
this case, the child could sustain serious or
fatal injuries if the airbag were to be de­

ployed.

- Applies to vehicles on which the front pas­
senger's airbag cannot be deactivated: Do
NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat.
- Applies to vehicles with key-operated
switch for deactivating the front passeng­
er's airbag: Do NOT use a rearward-facing
child seat on the front passenger's seat
while the front passenger's airbag is ac­

tive.
If you have no alternative but to use a
rearward-facing child seat on the front
passenger's seat, the front passenger's
airbag must be deactivated beforehand via
the key-operated switch*
^>page
288.
Make sure that the front passenger's air-
bag is reactivated by means of the key-op­
erated switch* as soon as the child seat is
no longer needed on the front passenger's
seat.
- Occupants sitting in the front of the car
must never carry any objects or pets in the
space between them and the airbags, or al­
low children or other passengers to travel in
this position.
- Do not cover or stick anything on the steer­
ing wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of
the airbag unit on the passenger's side of
the dashboard, and do not obstruct or modi­
fy them in any way. These parts should only
be cleaned with a dry cloth (or with a cloth
moistened with plain water). It is also im­
portant not to attach any objects such as
cup holders or telephone mountings to the
surfaces covering the airbag units.
- Any work on the airbag system or removal
and installation of the airbag components
for other repairs (such as repairs to the
steering wheel or removal of seats) must be
performed by a qualified workshop.

Tyre wear / damage

A
WARNING
- Use only tyre/rim combinations and match­
ing wheel bolts approved by Audi. Otherwise
damage to the vehicLe and an accident could
result.
- For technical reasons, it is not possible to
use wheels from other vehicles. In certain
cases, it is not even possible to use wheels
from another vehicle of the same model.
- It is very important to ensure that the tyres
you have chosen have adequate clearance.
When selecting replacement tyres, do not
rely entirely on the nominal tyre size
marked on the tyre; with some makes of
tyre the effective tyre size can differ signifi­
cantly from the nominal dimensions, even
though the tyres have the same size desig­

nation.
Inadequate tyre clearance can result
in damage to the tyres or the vehicle, caus­
ing a serious safety risk.
- Avoid running the car on tyres that are more
than 6 years old. If
you
have no alternative,
you should drive slowly and with extra care
at all times.
- The use of run-flat tyres on your vehicle is
NOT authorised! Unauthorised use can cause
an accident or damage your vehicLe.
- If wheel trims are fitted after the car is pur­

chased,
ensure that there is an adequate
flow of air for cooling the brakes - risk of ac­
cident!

252 Tyre tread: Tread wear indicators
Tyre wear
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage.
- The wear on under or over-inflated tyres is
sig­

nificantly higher.
- Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking all increase tyre wear.
- If
you
notice excessive tyre wear, have the
wheel alignment checked by a qualified work­

shop.

- Have your tyres rebalanced if steering wheel vi­
brations indicate an imbalance. Otherwise, the
tyres and other parts of the vehicLe may wear
faster.
Tread wear indicators
The original tyres on your vehicle have 1.6 mm
high tread wear indicators
^>Fig.

across the tread at regular intervals. The letters

"TWI"
or triangles on the sidewall indicate the
positions of the tread wear indicators.
The minimum tread
depth1)
is reached
at
the lat­
est when the tread is worn down to the tread
wear indicators. Replace the tyres with new ones
Changing wheels round
Wheels should be changed round regularly to en­
sure that the wear is equal on all tyres. Fit the
wheels from the rear axle on the front axle and
vice-versa. All the tyres will then last for about
the same time.
