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!
1'> ....

SA
FETY FIRST
Don't rely on airbags alone for protection.
Even when they deploy, airbags provide
only supplemental protection. Airbags are
not supposed to deploy in all kinds of acci­
dents. Although your Audi is equipped with
airbags for the driver and front seat passen­
ger, all vehicle occupants, including the
driver, still have to wear safety belts- re­
gardless of whether their seating position
has an airbag.
Remember too, that airbags will deploy only
once and that your safety belts are always
there to offer protection in those accidents
in which airbags are not supposed to deploy
or when they have already deployed.
Unbelted occupants can also be thrown out
of the car where even more severe or fatal
injuries can occur.
16 Unbelted
passengers in the rear seats en­
danger not only themselves but also other
passengers. In a frontal collision they will be
thrown forward violently, where they can hit
and injure the driver or front seat passenger.
Safety belts protect
Safety belts used properly can make a big
difference. Safety belts help to keep pas­
sengers in their seats, gradually reduce en­
ergy levels applied to the body in an acci­
dent, and help prevent the uncontrolled
movement that can cause serious injuries.
In addition, safety belts reduce the danger
of being thrown out of the car. Safety
belts attach passengers to the car
and give them the benefit of being slowed
down more gently or "softly" through the
"give" in the safety belts, crumple zones
and other safety features engineered into
today's cars. By "absorbing" the kinetic en­
ergy over a longer period of time, the forces
on the body become more "tolerable" and
less likely to cause injury.

--------------------------SAFETY FIRST
Although
these examples are based on a
frontal collision, safety belts can also sub­
stantially reduce the risk of injury in other
types of accidents. So, whether you are on
a long trip or just going to the corner store,
always buckle up and make sure others do,
too.
Accident statistics show that vehicle occu­
pants properly wearing safety belts have a
lower risk of being injured and a much bet­
ter chance of surviving an accident. Prop­
erly using safety belts also greatly increases
the ability of the suppleme ntal airbags to do
their job in an accident. For this reason,
wearing a safety belt is legally required in
most countries including much of the
United States and Canada.
The following pages provide important in­
structions to enable you to use safety belts
properly. Be aura to read and follow
the instructions carefully. Heed all
WA RNINGS. To
further increase the safety for the front
passengers, the vehicle is equipped with a
supplemen tal airbag system. See page 25.
The safety belts provided must neverthe­
less be worn because the front airbags are
activated only in some frontal collisions. The
front airbags are not activated by minor fron­
tal collisions, side and rear collisions, in roll
overs or in some cases where there is not
enough deceleration through impact to the
front of the vehicle.
I B1H-124 I
Belt warning system
Yo ur vehicle has a warn ing light for the driv-
er to remind you to wear the safety belt
After the ignition is switched on, the warn­
ing light in the instrument cluster will come
on for about 6 seconds along with a warning
tone. As soon as the driver has fastened the
safety belt the warning tone will stop. The
warning light, however, will stay on for '
about 6 seconds.
Fasten your safety be.lt now and
make sure that your passengers also
properly put on their safety belts.

SAFETYRRST--------------------------------------------------
Unfaste ning the safety belt
• Push the red release button on the
buckle. The belt tongue will spring out of the
buckle.
• Let the belt to wind up on the retractor as
you guide belt tongue to its stowed posi­
tion.
24 Belt
tensioner
The retractors for the three-point safety
belts are equipped with belt tensioners.
Sensors activate the belt tensioners in fron­
tal collisions when deceleration is high
enough. This tightens the belt and takes up
belt slack. Taking up the slack helps to re­
duce forward occupant movement during a
collision.
The belt tensioner can only be activated
once. The belt tensioner will not be acti­
vated if the safety belt is not in use.
Never let the belt remain extended
over a rear seat back that has been
folded forward. The rear belt ten­
sioner will be activated unnecessar­
ily in an accident and then have to be
replaced.
The belt tensioner will not activate in a light
frontal collision insufficient to actuate the
tensioner or in any side, rollover, or rear-end
collision. �W
ARNING
• Safety belt systems including
belt tensioners cannot be re­
paired. Special procedures are re­
quired for removal and installation
of this system. Therefore. any
work on the safety belt system
must be performed only by an au­
thorized Audi Dealer.
• The belt tensioner system
works for one accident only. If belt
tensioners have been activated.
the system must be replaced.
Notes
• When the safety belt tensioner is acti­
vated, a fine dust is released. This is normal
and is not caused by a fire in the vehicle.
• Observe all safety regulations if the ve­
hicle or individual parts of the system, par­
ticularly the safety belt or airbag, are to be
scrapped. Your authorized Audi Dealers are
familiar with these regulations and can per­
form this service for you.

---------------------------------------------------SAFETY RRST
Airbag system
Your vehicle has two front and four
side airbags, one front and one side air­
bag for each front seat occupant, one side
airbag" for each rear seat occupant sitting
on the left and right rear seat.
In addition, your vehicle is equipped with
head airbags* on the left and right sides to
protect occupants seated next to the front
and rear doors. System
components
The airbag system consists of the following:
• electronic control module,
• an inflatable airbag with gas generator in­
side the steering wheel,
• an inflatable airbag with gas generator in­
side the instrument panel tor the front pas­
senger,
• supplemental side airbags in the back­
rest padding of the front and rear seats*,
• an inflatable curtain head airbag above
the doors on each side,
• an AIRB AG indicator light in the
instrument cluster ( see "Warning I Indica­
tor lights" page 125).
The indicator light in the instrument cluster
(readiness light) will light up for a few sec­
onds each time the ignition is switched on.
The light monitors the electronic control
module, sensor circuits, and system wiring. The
system must be inspected
if the indicator light:
• does not come on when the ignition is
switched on,
• does not go out after a few seconds after
the ignition is switched on, or
• comes on while driving.
In the event of a system malfunction, the in­
dicator light will stay on continuously to
serve as a constant reminder to have the
system repaired.
�W ARNING
If any of these conditions occur,
have the alrbag system inspected
immediately by your Audi Dealer.
Otherwise, the airbags in your ve­
hicle may not work properly in
case of a frontal collision or a side
impact.
