"'Bring the steering wheel into the desired posi-
tion.
"' Push the lever against the steering column un-
til it latches.
_& WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering wheel adjust-
ment and an incorrect seating position can
cause serious injuries.
- Only adjust the steering column when the
vehicle is stationary so that you do not lose
control of the vehicle.
Driving
- Adjust the driver's seat or steering wheel so
that there is at least a 10 in (25 cm) dis-
tance between your chest and the steering
wheel. If you do not maintain this distance,
you will not be properly protected by the air-
bag system .
- If your physical characteristics prevent you
from sitting at least 10 in (25 cm) or more
away from the steering wheel , see if your
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility can provide adapters that
will help.
- If your face is level with the steering wheel,
the airbag does not provide as much protec-
tion during a collision. Always make sure
that the steering wheel is level with your
chest.
- Always hold the steering wheel with your
hands in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions to reduce the risk of injury if the airbag
deploys.
- Never hold the steering wheel in the 12
o'clock position or with both hands on the
rim or the center of the steering wheel.
Holding the steering wheel incorrectly sig-
nificantly increases the risk of injury to the
hands, arms and head if the airbag deploys.
