--------------------------------------------------SAFETYRRST
Welcome Dear Audi Owner,
This chapter contains important informa­
tion, tips and suggestions on occupant safe­
ty.
We've prepared this chapter in order to
summarize what you need to know about
such topics as safety belts, airbags, child
safety, seats for children and infants.
Please make certain that you follow
the suggestions and warnings given
- it's in your own interest and in the
interest of all your passengers.
However, please note, that impor­
tant safety information regarding
your vehicle and its operation will
also be found in all other chapters of
this Owner's Manual.
Remember -safety first! Safety
first
Yo ur safety and the safety of your passen­
gers shouldn't be left to chance. Advances
in technology have made a variety of fea­
tures available to help reduce the risk of in­
jur y in an accident. The following is a listing
of just a few of the safety features in your
Audi:
sophisticated safety belts with tension­
ers
optimized safety belt geometry through
safety belt ancho rages on front seats,
safety belt height adjustors front seats,
lateral belt adjustment on outer rear
seats,
safety belt guide for the center rear seat
- front airbags
side airbags in the front and rear* seats
- head airbags left and right above the
doors
special seat pan structure
- adjustable steering column
padded kneebar integrated into the dash­
board. These
individual safety features, can work
together as a system to help protect you
and your passengers in a wide range of acci­
dents. These features can't work as a sys­
tem if they are not always properly adjusted
and properly used!
The following sections provide important in­
formation about why these features are im­
portant, how they work to help protect you
and your passengers and how they must be
adjusted and used to get the greatest bene­
fit and reduce the likelihood of injury.
The sections also contain important
WA RNINGS which you and your passen­
gers must always heed in order to reduce
the risk of personal injury.
Safety is everybody's responsibil­
ity!

SA
FETY RRST-----------------------------------------------------
Safety belts
J:\. Always wear your
ffi safety belts!
� WARNING
• Safety belts are the single most
effective means available to re­
duce the potential for serious in­
iury and death in automobile acci­
dents. For your protection and
that of your passengers. always
properly wear safety belts when
the vehicle is moving.
• Pregnant women. iniured, or
physically impaired
persons
should also use safety belts. Like
all vehicle occupants, they are
more likely to be seriously iniured
if they do not wear safety belts.
The best way to protect a fetus is
to protect the mother - through­
out the entire pregnancy.
1.11. This
section explains why safety belts are
necessary, how they work and how to ad­
just and wear them properly.
Please read all the information
given. and always observe the fol­
lowing instructions and warnings.
For information on child safety see
page 44.
Why safety belts work
Safety belts can't work unless they
are worn and worn properly.
The illustration above shows the passen­
gers on a "vehicle" headed for a brick wall.
They're not using safety belts.
The physical principles are simple. Both the
vehicle and the passengers possess energy
which varies with vehicle speed and body
weight. Engineers call this energy "kinetic
energy."
For details see next pages.

The
higher the speed of the vehicle and the
greater the passengers' weight, the more
energy there is to be "absorbed" in an acci­
dent.
Vehicle speed is the most significant factor.
If the speed doubles from 15 to 30 mph (25
to 50 km/hl. the energy increases 4 times!
Because these passengers are not using
safety belts, they will keep moving at the
same speed the vehicle was moving just
before the crash, until something stops
them -here, the wall. The same
principles apply to people sitting
in a car that is involved in a frontal collision.
Even at city speeds of 20 to 30 mph (30 to
50 km/h), the forces acting on the body can
reach one ton (2000 lbs, or 1 000 kg) or
more. At greater speeds, these forces are
even higher.
People who do not use safety belts are also
not attached to their car. In a frontal collision
they will also continue to move forward at
the speed their car was travelling just be­
fore the impact. SA
FETY FIRST
Un belted occupants are not able to resist
the tremendous forces of impact by holding
tight or bracing themselves. Without the
benefit of safety restraint systems, the un­
restra ined occupant will slam violently into
the steering wheel, dashboard, windshield,
or whatever else is in the way. Their impact
with the vehicle interior has all the energy
they had just before the crash.
