ous personal
injury.
-
Adjust the steering wheel column only when

that there is a minimum of 10
inches
(25
cm) between your chest and the steering

maintain this minimum distance, the airbag
system cannot protect you properly.

If
phys
ical
limitations prevent you from sit-
ting 10
inches
(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

not provide as much protection

dent. Always make sure that the steering
wheel
is
aligned with your
chest
.

o'clock position or with your

the steering wheel
rim

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
