ZA\ 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. Applies to
Coupe: Also follow the information about
the correct seating position on the rear
bench seat > page 48.
— 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.

58

This can cause serious or fatal injuries for
the child and passengers.
— If children use an incorrect seating position
while driving, they have a higher risk of in-
jury during a sudden braking maneuver or
accident. This especially applies to children
in the front passenger's seat or children who
have their head near the side airbag deploy-
ment area, if the airbag system is deployed
during an accident. This incorrect seating
position can cause severe or even fatal inju-
ries.
— Applies to: Coupe: Make sure there is
enough space in front of the child in the
child safety seat. If necessary, adjust the an-
gle and position of the seat in front of the
child safety seat.
— The rear side of a forward-facing child safety
seat should be positioned as close as possi-
ble to the backrest on the vehicle seat.
— Applies to: Coupe:Always make sure that the
backrest on the seat where the child safety
seat is installed is securely locked in place
and cannot move forward. Otherwise, the
backrest where the child safety seat is se-
cured could move forward in the event of an
accident or other emergency situation.
— NEVER use a rear-facing child safety seat on
a seat with an ACTIVATED FRONT AIRBAG;
this could cause DEATH or SERIOUS INJURIES
toa CHILD.
— Applies to: Coupe: Always secure child
safety seats on the rear seats.
— If you use a child safety seat on the front
passenger seat, then the front passenger’s
airbag must be deactivated. Always make
sure that PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF %;
stays on while driving. If
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #, does not
turn on, remove the child safety seat and
install it again according to the child safe-
ty seat manufacturer instructions. If
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 2%; still does
not turn on, the front passenger's seat
must not be used. Drive to an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa-
cility and have the airbag system inspect-
ed.

Sitting correctly and safely

— Applies to: Coupe: The lower LATCH anchors
as well as the safety belt may be required to
correctly install some child safety seats. Us-
ing both at the same time is permitted, pro-
vided that the fastening systems or safety
belts do not impair those in an adjacent
seating position.
— All child safety seats are constructed so that
they can be secured using the lap safety belt
in the vehicle.

LATCH anchors
Applies to: Coupe

Z
Applies to: Coupe
Fig. 63 Rear bench seat: lower LATCH anchors
Observe the safety precautions > page 57.
In the United States and Canada, child safety
seats can be secured without safety belts using
the LATCH system. LATCH stands for Lower An-
chors and Tethers for Children. In Canada, similar
systems are called UCRA, LUAS, or UAS.
The Lower LATCH anchors in your vehicle are lo-
cated on the seats of the rear bench seat be-
tween the seat surface and the backrest. These
seating locations each have two lower LATCH an-
chors that can be used to secure a LATCH child
safety seat. Marking points with a > fig. 63 sym-
bol are located on the covers for the lower LATCH
anchors. You can locate the LATCH anchors using
the marking points.
> Remove the covers from both LATCH anchors.
> Secure the unused safety belt that is within
range of the child. To do this, fasten the safety
belt for the seat where the child safety seat will
be installed. Activate the belt retractor lock on
the fastened safety belt. To do this, pull the up-
60
per belt out completely and then allow it to re-
tract. You will hear a clicking sound while the
belt is retracting. It will not be possible to pull
the safety belt out any farther.
> Make sure the fastened safety belt does not
block access to the LATCH anchors. Otherwise,
it may not be possible to secure the child safety
seat to the LATCH anchors correctly.
>» Secure the child safety seat according to the
child safety seat manufacturer instructions.
> Pull on the child safety seat to check if both
sides are engaged correctly in the LATCH an-
chors.
> If possible, also secure the child safety seat to
the respective top tether anchor in the vehicle
=> page 62.

ZX WARNING
— The LATCH anchors in the vehicle are only
designed for child safety seats with the
LATCH system. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury, never secure other child re-
straint systems, belts, or objects to the an-
chors.
-Achild in a child safety seat could play with
the unused safety belts and then become
entangled in them, which increases the risk
of fatal injury. Always secure the unused
safety belt so that it is not within reach of
children in child safety seats.

G) Tips
The LATCH anchors are designed for a total
weight (child and child safety seat combined)
up to 65 lbs (29 kg). If the total weight is
greater than this, the child safety seat must
be secured with the vehicle safety belt.
Securing child safety seats with a safety
rit
Observe the safety precautions > page 57. The
front passenger’s seat is a dangerous location for
a child, even with an advanced airbag system. If
you use a rear-facing child safety seat on the
front passenger’s seat, the front passenger’s air-
bag must be deactivated. Please note the impor-
tant information for this > page 59, Correct >

Securing child safety seats
> If you secure a child safety seat to the front
passenger's seat, adjust the front passenger's
seat to the highest position.
>» Secure the child safety seat according to the
child safety seat manufacturer instructions.
> If necessary, activate the belt retractor lock
=> page 67.
> If the child safety seat is secured on the front
passenger's seat, adjust the front passenger's
seat backrest until it rests flat against the child
safety seat. Also make sure that the upper safe-
ty belt fixture is behind the child safety seat.
> Applies to: Coupe: If you secure a child safety
seat on the rear seat, also secure it to the cor-
rect top tether anchor if possible > page 62.
Activating the belt retractor lock
If you secure a child safety seat using the vehicle
safety belt, you must activate the belt retractor
lock. Follow the child safety seat manufacturer
instructions.
The belt retractor lock prevents the safety belt
from becoming loose while driving, which could
result in the child safety seat no longer being ad-
equately secured.
> Secure the child safety seat according to the
child safety seat manufacturer instructions.
While doing so, pull out the safety belt. Insert
the safety belt into the belt latch that belongs
to that seat until it audibly locks.
> Pull the upper belt out completely and then al-
low it to retract. You will hear a clicking sound
while the belt is retracting. It will not be possi-
ble to pull the safety belt out any farther.
> Push the child safety seat into the seat and al-
low the belt to retract more.
> Make sure that the child safety seat cannot
move more than 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Deactivating the belt retractor lock
> Unbuckle the safety belt from the belt latch.
> Remove the child safety seat according to the
manufacturer instructions.
> Allow the safety belt to retract completely. The
belt retractor lock is deactivated.

Z\ WARNING
— A safety belt that is not locked by the belt
retractor lock or a locking device cannot se-
cure a child safety seat while driving or in
the event of an accident, which increases
the risk of fatal injury. Always make sure the
belt retractor lock on the safety belt is acti-
vated if the child safety seat manufacturer
instructions require it.
— Due to the risk of fatal injury, never place a
rear-facing child safety seat on the front
passenger's seat when the front passenger's
airbag is switched on.
—For the child safety seat to offer the maxi-
mum protection, it is especially important
to route the vehicle safety belt correctly. Al-
ways follow the instructions from the child
safety seat manufacturer for routing the
safety belt correctly. Incorrectly fastened
safety belts can cause injuries, even during

minor accidents.

Storage and convenience


— Never drive with containers that contain hot
liquid such as coffee or tea. The hot liquid
could spill and cause burns during a colli-
sion, sudden braking or other vehicle move-
ment. Spilled hot liquid can also increase
the risk of accidents and injuries.
— Only use soft containers in the cup holders.
Hard cups and glasses can increase the risk
of injury during a collision.
— Never use the cup holder or the adapter as
an ashtray because this is a fire hazard.

@) Note
Beverage containers in the cup holders should
always
have a lid. Otherwise, the liquid inside
could spill and cause damage to vehicle
equipment.
Storage areas and
compartments
Depending on vehicle equipment, there are a va-
riety of storage areas, compartments, and retain-
ers, such as the glove compartment, for safely
storing and securing objects.

ZA\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of injury, make sure all
storage compartments are always closed
while driving.
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Store objects securely while
driving.
— Only use the storage compartments in the
door trim panels to store small objects that
will not stick out of the compartment and
impair the function of the side airbags.
— Make sure your view toward the rear is not
blocked, for example by hanging clothing or
objects in the vehicle.
— Applies to: Coupe: No heavy or hard objects
may be placed on the storage compartment
behind the rear seat backrest. There is a risk
of
injuring the vehicle passengers when
braking suddenly.

64
— Applies to: Coupe: Only lightweight clothing
should be hung from the garment hooks in
the vehicle. Do not use clothes hangers to
hang clothing. The pockets of the clothing
must not contain any heavy, breakable, or
sharp-edged objects. This could impair the
effectiveness of the side curtain airbags.
() Note
Applies to: Coupe

Make sure that the heating grid strips for the
rear window defogger are not damaged by
abrasive objects.
Luggage compartment
General information
All pieces of luggage or objects must be securely
fastened in the luggage compartment. Note the
following to maintain good vehicle handling:
> Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com-
partment.
> Stow heavy luggage as far forward in the lug-
gage compartment as possible.
» Use non-elastic cords attached to the tie-downs
to secure objects.

ZX WARNING
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Always stow objects securely in
the luggage compartment and secure them
at the tie-downs. Use straps suitable for
heavy objects.
— If pieces of luggage or objects are secured to
the tie-downs with unsuitable or damaged
straps, this can increase the risk of injury
during braking maneuvers or accidents.
— When transporting heavy objects, the vehi-
cle characteristics will change due to the
shift in the center of gravity, which increases
the risk of an accident. You may need to
adapt your driving style and speed to the
current conditions.

8S1012721BE
Storage and convenience



— The cargo net is only strong enough to se-
cure light objects. Heavy objects are not ad-
equately secured. Attempting to secure
heavy objects increases the risk of injury.
— Never exceed the permitted axle and load
and vehicle weight > page 264.
— Never secure a child safety seat to the tie-
downs.
— Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cially if the luggage compartment lid is
open. Children could enter the luggage com-
partment and close the luggage compart-
ment lid from the inside. This creates the
risk of fatal injury, since the children would
be locked in and may not be able to escape
by themselves.
— Do not allow children to play in or on the ve-
hicle. Close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid as well as all other doors when you
leave the vehicle.
— Never transport passengers in the luggage
compartment. Every passenger must be cor-
rectly secured with the safety belts in the
vehicle > page 49.
— Applies to: Coupe: The luggage compart-
ment cover must always be securely fas-
tened when in use to reduce the risk of an
accident.
— Applies to: Coupe: The luggage compart-
ment cover is not a surface for storing ob-
jects. Objects placed on the cover increase
the risk of injury to all vehicle occupants
during sudden driving or braking maneuvers
or in the event of an accident.
— Applies to: Coupe: Be careful when releasing
the backrest and folding it forward. To re-
duce the risk of being pinched, pay attention
and check when folding backrests forward.
— Applies to: Coupe: The backrest must be se-
curely latched so objects cannot slide for-
ward out of the luggage compartment dur-
ing sudden braking.
— Applies to: Coupe: Always pull forward on
the backrest to make sure it is check if it is
correctly locked in place.

CG) Note
Applies to: Coupe
— If you move the front seat back when the
rear seat backrest is folded forward, you
could damage the head restraints on the
rear seat.
— When folding the backrest forward, make
sure the outer safety belts are in the belt
guide recess so that they do not get pinched
in the backrest lock and damaged. Other ob-
jects should be removed from the rear
bench seat to protect the backrest from
damage.
— Make sure that the heating grid strips for
the rear window defogger are not damaged
by abrasive objects.
G) Tips
— The tire pressure must be adapted to the
load > page 224.
— You can purchase suitable straps at special-
ty stores.

Driving

Stopping the engine
> Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
> Press the [START ENGINE STOP] button.


Emergency off function*
If it is absolutely necessary, the engine can also
be turned off while driving at speeds starting at
4 mph (7 km/h). To stop the engine, press the
START ENGINE STOP] button twice in a row or


press and hold it one time.

Z\ WARNING
— Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop. Switching it
off before the vehicle has stopped may im-
pair the function of the brake booster and
power steering. You may need to use more
force when braking or steering. Because you
cannot brake and steer as you usually would,
this could lead to accidents and serious inju-
ries.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. If you
do not do this, the engine could be started
and electrical equipment such as the power
windows could be activated. This can lead to
serious injuries.
— For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there is the risk that the vehicle
could roll unintentionally.
@) Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for an
extended period of time, heat builds up in the
engine compartment after the engine is
switched off and there is a risk of damaging
the engine. For this reason, let the engine run
at idle for approximately two minutes before
shutting it off.
@) Tips
For up to 10 minutes after stopping the en-
gine, the radiator fan may turn on again auto-
matically or it may continue to run, even if the
ignition is switched off.
