2013 AUDI Q5 fold seats

must always sit in an upright position,
must not lean against or place any part
of their body too close to the area where
the airbags are located .
- Occupants who are unbelted, out of posi­
tion or too close to the airbag can be se­ riously injured by an airbag as it unfolds
with great force in the blink of an eye
~ page 158.
A WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing child safety
seat installed on the front passenger seat
will be seriously injured and can be killed if
the front airbag inflates -even with an Ad­
vanced Airbag System.
- The inflating airbag will hit the child
safety seat or infant carrier with great
force and will smash the child safety seat
and child against the backrest, center
armrest, door or roof.
- Always install rear-facing child safety
seats on the rear seat.
- If you must install a rearward facing
child safety seat on the front passenger
seat because of exceptional circumstan­
ces and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
light does not come on and stay on, im­
mediately install the rear-facing child
safety seat in a rear seating position and
have the airbag system inspected by your
authorized Audi dealer .
A WARNING
Objects between you and the airbag will
increase the risk of injury in a crash by in­
terfering with the way the airbag unfolds
or by being pushed into you as the airbag
inflates.
- Never hold things in your hands or on
your lap when the vehicle is in use.
- Never transport items on or in the area
of the front passenger seat. Objects
could move into the area of the front air­
bags during braking or other sudden ma­
neuver and become dangerous projec-

tiles that can cause serious personal in­
jury if the airbags inflate.
- Never place or attach accessories or oth­
er objects (such as cupholders, tele­ phone brackets, large, heavy or bulky ob­
jects) on the doors, over or near the area marked "AIRBAG" on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, seat backrests or be­
tween those areas and yourself. These
objects could cause injury in a crash, es­
pecially when the airbags inflate.
- Never recline the front passenger's seat
to transport objects. Items can also
move into the area of the side airbag or
the front airbag during braking or in a
sudden maneuver. Objects near the air­ bags can become projectiles and cause
injury, particularly when the seat is re­
clined.
A WARNING
The fine dust created when airbags deploy
can cause breathing problems for people
with a history of asthma or other breath­ ing conditions.
- To reduce the risk of breathing problems,
those with asthma or other respiratory
conditions should get fresh air right
away by getting out of the vehicle or
opening windows or doors.
- If you are in a collision in which airbags
deploy, wash your hands and face with mild soap and water before eating.
- Be careful not to get the dust into your
eyes, or into any cuts or scratches .
- If the residue should get into your eyes,
flush them with water. •

Fabrics and fabric coverings
Fabrics and fab ric coverings (e.g . seats, door
trim pane ls, etc .) sho uld be cleaned at regular
intervals w ith a vacuum cle aner. This removes
su rface dirt particles which could become em­
bedded in the fabric through use . Steam
cleaners sho uld not be used , because the
steam te nds to p ush the dirt deeper into the
fabric and lo ck it the re.
Normal cleaning
Generally, we recommend us ing a soft sponge
o r a lint -free microfibe r clo th to t he clean fab ­
r ic. B rushes s hou ld only be used for carpets
and floo r mats, since othe r fabr ic surfa ces
cou ld be harmed by br ushes.
Normal su rface stains can be cleaned using a
comme rc ially availab le foam cleaner . Spread
the foam o n the su rface of t he fabric with a
soft sponge and wo rk it in gently . D o no t satu ­
ra te the f abric. Then pat the foam dry using
absorbent, dry cloths (e .g . m icrofi ber cloth)
and vac uum it after it has dried compl etely .
