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.

Some other important points
to
know
Because head airbags inflate in the blink of
an eye with a certain force, things you have
on your lap or have placed on the seat could
become dangerous projectiles and be
pushed into you if the airbag inflates.
�W ARNING
• Objects between you and the
airbag can Increase the risk of in­
jury in an accident by interfering
with the way the airbag unfolds or
by being pushed Into you as the
airbag inflates.
• Only genuine Audi roll-up sun­
screens may be used on the rear
doors. �W
ARNING
• Do not swivel the sun visors to
the side if you have any objects
clipped onto them (for example
pens). If the airbag should deploy,
you could be injured by these ob­
jects.
• Use the built-in coat hooks only
for lightweight clothing. Do not
usa any hangers when hanging
clo thing on the coat hooks. Do not
leave any heavy or sharp-edged ob­
jects in the pockets which may in­
terfere with head airbag deploy­
ment and can cause personal in­
jury in an accident. SA
FETY FIRST
Care, Service and Disposal of
Airbags
Parts of the airbag system have been
installed at different places on your Audi.
Servicing or repairing in an area of the car
could impair airbag performance.
Some general requirements for airbags
must be observed to make sure the effec­
tiveness of the system will not be impaired
and that discarded components do not
cause injury or pollute the environment.
�W ARNING
A damaged airbag system may not
work properly in an accident. In­
correct service procedures could
cause an airbag to deploy unex­
pectedly during service, injuring
someone. To avoid damaging the
airbag system, possibly causing
malfunction leading to injury in an
accident or during repair:
Always heed all WA RNINGS
