WARNING
Improper use of steering wheel adjustment and improper seating position can cause serious personal injury.
- Adjust the steering wheel column only when the vehicle is not moving to prevent loss of vehicle control.
- Adjust the driver's seat or steering wheel so
that there is a minimum of 10 in (25 cm)
between your chest and the steering wheel
fig. 140. If you cannot maintain
this minimum distance, the airbag system
cannot protect you properly. - If physical limitations prevent you from sitting 10 in (25 cm) or more from the steering wheel, check with your authorized Audi dealer to see if adaptive equipment is available.
- If the steering wheel is aligned with your
face, the supplemental driver's airbag cannot
provide as much protection in an accident.
Always make sure that the steering wheel is aligned with your chest.
- Always hold the steering wheel with your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions to reduce the risk of personal injury if the driver's airbag deploys.
- Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with your hands inside the steering wheel rim or on the steering wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way can cause serious injuries to the hands, arms and head if the driver's airbag deploys.
