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!

FETY RRST-----------------------------------------------------
Fastening the safety belt
• Adjust your seat before fastening
the safety belt. See page 76.
� WARN ING
Safety belts offer optimum protec­
tion only when the seat back is up­
right and belts are properly posi­
tioned on the body. Improperly
positioned safety belts can cause
serious personal injury in an acci­
dent.
20 •
To fasten, grasp belt tongue and pull the
belt in a continuous slow motion across
your chest and lap.
• Insert the belt tongue into the buckle on
the inboard side of the seat. Push down un­
til it is securely locked with an audible click.
Pull belt to check!
� WARNING
• Always make sure the safety
belt tongue is inserted into the
buckle for the same seating posi­
tion.
• Att aching the safety belt to the
buckle for another seat could re­
duce safety belt effectiveness and
cause injury. Adjusting
shoulder seat belt
Belt height adjustment front seats
Safety belt height adjustors for the
front seats can be used to adjust the
height of the shoulder portion of the safety
belt. This feature will help you properly posi­
tion the shoulder portion of the safety belt
across your shoulder.
• Press the handle slowly up or down so
that the shoulder portion of the safety belt
is positioned nearly midway over the shoul­
der.
• Pull on the shoulder belt to check
whether the belt anchor is securely locked
in place.

SA
FETY RRST---------------------------------------------------
Lateral belt adjustment outer rear
seats
Passengers sitting in the rear must position
safety belts over their body as outlined for
the front occupants.
The shoulder belt must be positioned over
the shoulder.
It must never rest against the neck
and must fit against your body. The
lap belt must be worn low and tight
across the pelvis.
See illustration above. Pull belt tight.
22 The
outer rear seats are equipped with a
lateral shoulder belt adjustment.
• To adjust the shoulder belts of the outer
seats. move the belt guide towards the
center of the vehicle for taller occupants, or
towards the outside for shorter occupants.
See symbols on the belt guide. l
Safety belt guide for the center
rear seat
The three-point belt adjusts itself to suit the
height of the occupant.
The above illustration shows the belt fitted
on a person of average height.

--------------------------------------------------SAFETYRRST
�W ARNING
• To reduce the risk of injury
when the front airbags inflate, the
driver and passenger should al­
ways sit in an upright position and
must never lean against or place
any part of your body too close to
the area where the front alrbags
are located.
• See "Imp ortance of proper seat­
ing position" in this section at
pages 29 and 37 and heed all
WA RNINGS.
G Occupants who are unbelted,
out of position or too close to the
airbag can be seriously injured by
an airbag as it unfolds with great
force in the blink of an eye. For
seat adjustment, see page 76. Remember
too, airbags will deploy only
once and only in certain kinds of accidents
- your safety belts are a�ways t� ere t? off �r
protection in those acc1dents m wh1ch air­
bags are not supposed to deploy or when
they have already deployed.
An airbag is not a substitute �or the safety
belt. It is part of the overall veh1cle safety sy­
stem. The airbag system works most effec­
tively when used with the safety belts.
Therefore, always wear your safety belts.
See pages 14 to 24.
It is important to remember that 'JI:'hile the
supplemental airbag system . IS d� s�g �ed to
reduce the likelihood of senous lnJUnes, 1t
can cause swelling, bruising, and minor
abrasions. How
the front airbag system works
The airbag system is designed so that in a
severe frontal collision the driver and
front passenger airbags are triggered. Th�
front airbags will not inflate in frontal colli­
sions in which vehicle deceleration is not
high enough, or in side or rear collisions, or
in rollovers.
It is not possible to define an airbag trig�er­
ing range that will cover every poss1ble
angle of impact, since the circumstances
will vary considerably between one acci­
dent and another.
Important factors include, for example, the
nature ( hard or soft) of the object which the
car hits, the angle of impact, vehicle speed,
and etc.

--------------------------SAFETY FIRST
Importance
of proper seating
position
In a collision airbags must inflate within a
blink of an eye and with considerable force.
The supplemental airbags could injure you
if you are not seated properly. Therefore in
order to help the airbag to do its job, it is im­
portant, both as a driver and as a passenger
to sit properly at all times. By keeping room
between your body and the front of the pas­
senger compartment, the airbag can inflate
fully and completely and provide supple­
mental protection in certain frontal colli­
sions. See page 76 for information on the
adjustment of the front seats and also
"Front seats" page 78, for details on the op­
eration of the seat adjustment controls. It's
especially importantthat children be proper­
ly restrained. See chapter "Child safety",
page 44. �W
ARNING
• Sitting too close to the stee ring
wheel or instrument panel will de­
crease the effe ctiveness of the air­
bags and will increase the risk of
personal injury in an accident.
• If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way. your risk of in­
jury is much higher. You will also
receive serious or fatal injuries
from the airbag if you are up
against it or too close to it when it
inflates.
• To reduce the risk of injury
when an alrbag inflates, always
wear safety belts properly.
See "How to wear the safety belts
properly" on page 18. '4
WARNING continued
• Children age 12 or younger
should always ride in the rear seat.
If children are not properly re­
strained, they may be severely in­
jured or killed when an airbag
inflates. Never let children ride un­
restr ained or improperly re­
strained in the vehicle.
• Adjust the front seats properly.
- Never ride with the backrest re-
clined.
- Always sit as far as possible
from the the stee ring wheel or
the instrument panel.
Always heed all WA RNINGS
on next page.

CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Mir rors
Adjust the outside and inside mi rrors before
driving and after adjusting your seat to prop­
er driving position. It is im porta nt for safe
driving that you have good vision to the rear.
Inside dey-night mirror
Manual anti-glare adjustment
Yo u can adjust the day -night mirror from
clear daylight visibility to non-glare visibility
at night by moving the lever at the bottom
of the mirror.
To ensure the best possible antiillare ef­
fect, the lever on the lower edge of the mir­
ror should be pointing forwards when the
basic setting is made.
Daylight driving -lever to front
Night driving -lever to rear.
72 Automatic
anti-glare adjustment•
When the ignition is switc hed on the interior
mirror will darken automatically depending
on the amount of light shinin g into the car
from the rear (e. g. headlights).
When you move the selector lever I gear­
shift lever into Reverse R or when you
switch the interior lights on, the inside mir­
ror will return to its original position (dim­
ming effect off).
The mirror will return to the original position
(i. e. not anti-dazzle) when the selector lever
I gearshift lever is moved to position R. Outside
mirrors
Adjust the outside mirrors so that the side
of your own vehicle can just be seen. This
setting ensures the best possible field of
view, and in addition it serves as an instant
check on the mirror setti ng.
Self-d imming day I night outside
mirrors
The dimming of the outside mirrors is con­
trolled by the inside day I night mirror.
The dimming of the outside mirrors works
only properly and without any interference,
if the rear window shade* is rolled up and I
or the light shining on the inside mirror is not
blocked by other objects.
