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.

positions that could be dangerous for all vehicle
occupants. This is not a complete list. Audi would
simply like to increase your awareness of the top-
ic. The following points apply 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 armrest.
— Never drive or ride in a seat without fastening
your safety belt.
— Never ride in the luggage compartment.
ZA WARNING
Incorrect seating positions, failure to wear a
safety belt, or being too close to an airbag in-
crease the risk of serious or fatal injury 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.
G) Tips
— If physical circumstances do not allow you
to assume the correct seating position, con-
tact an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
— If you or other vehicle passengers have
physical limitations that prevent sitting in a
correct position, modifications to the vehi-
cle may be necessary. For more information,

the system, it warns you about vehicles that are
coming closer or that are traveling with you with-
in sensor range @) > fig. 98: if a lane change is
classified as critical, the display @ in the exterior

sistance when making a lane change to the left,

Fig. 108 Diagram: area covered (@) and area not covered @)
by the rearview camera.
Fig. 109 Luggage compartment lid: location of the rear-
view camera
The rearview camera is located above the rear li-
cense plate bracket. Make sure that the lens for
the parking system > fig. 709 is not covered by
deposits or any other obstructions because this
can impair the function of the parking system.
For information on cleaning, see > page 236.
The rearview camera coverage area includes (1)
=> fig. 108. Only this area is shown in the Info-
tainment display. Objects that are in area (2),
which is not covered, are not displayed.
ZA\ WARNING
— Always read and follow the applicable warn-
ings > A\ in Introduction on page 98.
— If the position and the installation angle of
the rearview camera was changed, for exam-
ple after a collision, do not continue to use
the system for safety reasons. Have it
checked by an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility.
— Only use the rearview camera to assist you if
it shows a good, clear picture. For example,
the image may be affected by the sun shin-
ing into the lens, dirt on the lens, or if there
is a malfunction.
— Use the rearview camera only if the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggage compartment lid do not block
the rearview camera.
— The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of vision. The object appears both al-
tered and inaccurate on the screen.
—Incertain situations, people or objects in the
display appear closer or farther away:
— For objects that do not touch the ground,
such as the bumper of a parked vehicle, a
trailer hitch or the rear of a truck. Do not
use
the orientation lines in this case.
— If driven from a level surface onto an in-
cline, or a downward slope.
— If driven toward protruding objects.
— If the vehicle is carrying too much load in
the rear.
CG) Note
— Always read and follow the applicable warn-
ings >@ in Introduction on page 98.
— The orange-colored orientation lines in the
Infotainment display show the vehicle path
based on the steering wheel angle. The
front
of the vehicle swings out more than
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor-
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
