2011 AUDI TT ROADSTER seat memory

Safety Standard 208 as applicable at the time
your vehicle was manufactured.
The Standard requires the front a irbag on the
passenger side to be t urned off ("sup­
pressed") if a child up to about one year of
age restrained in one of the rear -facing or for­
ward -facing infant restra ints listed in Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 with wh ich
the Advanced Airbag System in your vehicle
was certified has been installed o n the front
passenger seat. Fo r a listing of the child re­
straints that were used to certify compliance
with the US Safety Standard
q page 138.
The PASSENG ER AIR BAG OFF light in the in­
strument panel tells you when the front Ad­
vanced A irbag on the passenger side has bee n
turned off by the e lectronic control u nit.
Each t ime you turn on the ignition, the
PAS ­
SENGER AIR BAG OFF
l ight w ill come on for a
few seco nds and:
- will stay on if the front passenger seat is not
occupied,
- will stay on if there is a small child or ch ild
restraint on the front passenger seat,
- wi ll go off if the front passenger seat is oc­
cupied by an adult as registered by the
weight-sensing mat
q page 125, Monitor­
ing the Advanced Airbag System.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on
when the control un it detects a total weight
on the front passenger seat that requires the
front airbag to be tu rned off .
If the total weight on the front passenger
seat is more than that of a typical 1 year-old
chi ld but less than the weight of a sma ll
ad ult, the front airbag on the passenge r side
can dep loy (the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
light does not come o n). If the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF
l igh t does not come on, the
front airbag on the passenger side has not
been turned off by the electronic control unit
and can dep loy if the control u nit senses an
impact that meets the conditions stored in its
memory.
For example , the airbag may deploy if :
Airbag system 117
- a small ch ild that is heav ie r th an a typical 1
year -old chi ld is o n the front passenger seat
(regard less o f whether the child is in one o f
the child safety seats listed
q page 138), or
- a child who has outgrown child restraints is
on the front passenger seat.
I f the front passenger ai rbag is turned off, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on in
the instr ument cluster and stays on .
T he front airbag on the passenge r side may
not deploy (t he PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
light does not illuminate a nd stay lit) even if a
small ad ult o r teenager, or a passenger who is
not sitting upright with their back against a
non-recl ined backrest w ith their feet on the
vehicle floor in front of the seat is on the front
passenger seat ¢
page 99, Proper seating po ­
sition for the driver.
If the front passenger airbag dep loys, the
Federa l Standard requ ires the airbag to meet
t h e "low risk" dep loyment criteria to reduce
t h e risk of injury th rough inte ract ion w ith the
airbag. "Low risk" deployment occurs in those
crashes that ta ke pla ce at lower dece le rat io ns
as de fined in the e lectronic co ntrol unit
¢ page 1 26, PASSENG ER AIR BAG O FF light.
Always remember, a c hild safety seat o r in fant
car rie r in st alled on the fron t seat may be
stru ck and kno cked ou t of po sitio n by the rap­
i dly i nflat ing passenger 's airbag in a fronta l
collision. The ai rbag co uld great ly red uce the
effectiveness of the chi ld restraint and even
seriously in jure the child during inflation.
For t his reason, and because the back seat is
the safest place for c hildren - when proper ly
rest rained according to their age and size -we
strong ly recommend that chi ldren a lways sit
i n the back seat¢
page 136, Child Safety .
A WARNING
-
A child in a rearward-facing ch ild safety
seat ins talled on the fron t passenger seat
will be ser io us ly injure d and can be killed if
the front airbag inflates -even with an Ad-
v anc ed Airbag System . ..,_

120 Airbag sys te m
Advanced front airbag system
Yo ur veh icle is equippe d with a fro nt Advanced
A ir b ag System in com pliance with Un ited
States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 as applicab le at the time your vehicle was
manufactured.
The front Advanced Airbag Sys tem supp le­
ments the safety belts to provide addit ional
protection for the driver's and front passeng­
er's heads and upper bodies in frontal crashes.
The airbags inflate only in fronta l impacts
when the vehicle dece lerat ion is high enough.
The front Advanced Airbag System for the
front seat occupants is not a substitute for
your safety be lts. Rather, it is part of the over ­
all occupant restraint system in your veh icle.
Always remember that the airbag system can
only help to protect you, if you are s itting up­
right, wear ing you r safety belt and wearing it
properly. This is why you and your passenge rs
must always be properly restra ined, not just
beca use the law requires you to be.
The Advanced Airbag System in your veh icle
has been cert ified to meet the "low risk" re­
qu irements for
3 and 6 year-o ld childre n on
the passenger side and very small adu lts on
the dr iver side. The low risk deployment cri te ­
ria are intended to he lp red uce the risk of in ­
jury through interaction with the front airbag
that can occ ur, for example, by be ing too
close to the steer ing wheel and instrument
panel when the airbag i nflates.
I n addition, the system has been certif ied to
comp ly with the "suppression" requirements
of the Safety Standard, to turn off the front
a irbag for infants
12 months old and younger
who are restra ined on the front passenger
seat in ch ild restra ints that are listed in the
Standard
~ page 138, Child restraints and
Advan ced Airbags.
"Suppression" requires the front airbag on the
passenger side to be tur ned off if:
- a ch ild up to about one year of age is re­
stra ined on the front passenger seat in one
of the rear -facing or forwa rd -facing infant restraints listed in Federal
Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 208 with which the Ad­
vanced Airbag System in your veh icle was
cert ified. For a listing of the child restraints
that were used to certify your vehicle's com­
pliance w ith the US Safety Standard
~page 138,
-weight less than a threshold level stored in
the control unit is detected on the front pas­ senger seat .
When a person is detected on the front pas­
senger seat, weighing more than the total
we ight of a chi ld that is about
1 year old re ­
stra ined in one of the rear-facing o r forward­
facing infa nt restraints ( listed in Fede ral Mo­
tor Vehicle Safety Standa rd 208 w it h which
t h e Advan ced Airbag Sys tem in yo ur vehicle
was certif ied), the front air bag on the passen­
ger side may or may not deploy .
T he
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on
whe n the elec tro nic con tro l unit detects a to­
ta l we ight on the fron t passenger seat that re ­
quires the front airbag to be t urned off . If the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on, the front a irbag on the passenger
s ide has not been t urned off by the contro l
unit and ca n dep loy if the control u nit senses
an impact that meets the cond itions stored in
its memory.
If the total weight on the front passenger
seat is more than that of a typical
1 year-old,
but less than the we ight of a small adult, the
front a irbag on the passenger side may dep loy
(the
PASSENG ER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on).
For example, the airbag may deploy if:
- a small ch ild that is heav ier than a typical 1
year-old ch ild is on the front passenger seat
(regard less of whether the child is i n one of
the child safe ty seats listed
~ page 138),
-a child who has outgrown child restraints is
on the front passenger seat .
If the front passenger airbag is turned off, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light in the center
of the instrument panel will come on and stay o n . ..,.
