Fig. 174 Child seat categories
Child restraint systems are covered by the Euro­
pean standard ECE-R 44. An orange label is usu­
ally attached to child seats which have been tes­
ted in accordance with this standard. Informa­
tion on weight categories, ISOFIX size class and
the approval category of the child seat can be
found on this label.
Child seats are divided into five weight catego­
ries:
Child seats: categories O and O+
Rearward-facing carry cots are most appropriate
for these categories (up to 13 kg). Our recom­
mendation: Audi carry cot with optional ISOFIX
base.
Child seats: category 1
In this category (9 to 18 kg), rearward or for­
ward-facing child seats with an integrated seat Safe
driving
belt system are most appropriate. Rearward-fac­
ing child seats should be used for as long as safe­
ly possible. Our recommendation: Audi child seat
with ISOFIX base.
Child seats: categories 2 and 3
Child seats with backrests used in conjunction
with seat belts are most appropriate for these
categories (15 to 36 kg). Our recommendation:
Audi child seat "youngster plus".
A WARNING
- Categories 0, O+ and 1 (rearward-facing):
Never install a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat unless the front
passenger's airbag has been deactivated -
this can result in potentially fatal injuries to
the child. If you have no alternative but to
let a child travel on the front passenger's
seat, the front passenger's airbag must be
deactivated* beforehand c:> page 211.
- Categories 1 (forward-facing), 2 and 3: The
back of the child seat should be flush with
the backrest of the vehicle seat.
- Categories 2 and 3: The shoulder section of
the belt must be fitted across the centre of
the child's collar bone close to the torso. It
must never run against or across the neck.
The lap belt must be worn tightly across the
hips, and not over the stomach or abdomen.
Pull the belt tight if necessary to take up
any slack.

Description of airbag
system
General notes on airbag system
The airbag is an integral part of the car's passive
safety system.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the airbag sys­
tem gives the front occupants additional protec­
tion for the head and chest in the event of a se­
vere frontal collision.
In a side collision the side airbags reduce the risk
of injury to the areas of the body facing the im­
pact ¢_&.
In addition to their normal function of protecting
the occupants in a collision, the seat belts also
hold them in a position where the airbags can in­
flate properly and provide maximum protection.
The airbag system will only work with the igni­
tion on. The airbag system is monitored electron­
ically; the airbag warning lamp indicates whether
the system is functioning properly.
The main parts of the airbag system are:
- The electronic monitoring system (control unit
and sensors)
- The two front airbags
- The two side airbags
- The warning lamp El in the instrument cluster
There is a fault in the airbag system if the
warning lamp
- does not come on when the ignition is switched
on.
- does not go out about 4 seconds after the igni­
tion is switched on.
- goes out and then comes on again after the ig­
nition is switched on.
- comes on or flickers while the car is moving.
A WARNING
- The airbags are not a substitute for the seat
belts; they are an integral part of the car's
overall passive safety system. The airbags
can only offer effective protection if the oc- Airbag system
cupants are wearing their seat belts. For
this reason it is very important to wear the
seat belts at all times ¢ page 204, Why is it
so important to use seat belts?.
- The seat belts and airbags can only provide
maximum protection if the occupants are
seated correctly ¢ page 46, Seats and stor­
age.
- If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean
for ward, or are not seated correctly while
the vehicle is in motion, you are at greater
risk of injury should the airbag system be
triggered in an accident.
- Components of the airbag system are loca­
ted in various parts of the vehicle. If repairs
to other vehicle components make it neces­
sary to perform work on the airbag system
or to remove or install parts of the airbag
system, this may cause damage to the air­
bag system. As a result, the airbags may not
inflate correctly or may not be triggered at
all in an accident situation. For this reason,
you should always have the work carried out
by a qualified workshop.
- If a fault should occur in the airbag system,
have the system checked immediately by a
qualified workshop. Otherwise the system
may fail to trigger in an accident.
- Do not attempt to modify components of
the airbag system in any way.
- Never make any alterations to the front
bumper or the body.
- Do not remove the front seats.
- The airbag system can only be activated
once; if the airbag has been triggered, the
system must be replaced. Should the airbag
system or airbag modules have to be re­
placed, the qualified workshop carrying out
the replacement will document all details.
- If you sell the vehicle, remember to pass on
the complete Service Wallet to the new
owner. If any of the airbags have been deac­
tivated, it is important that the new owner
is also given the relevant documents.
- The relevant safety requirements must be
observed when the vehicle or components
of the airbag or belt tensioner systems are
scrapped.

Side airbags
Description of side airbags
Applies to vehicles: with side airbags
The airbag system is not a substitute for the seat
belts.
Fig. 200 Location of side airbag in driver's seat
The side airbags are located in the backrest pad­
ding of the front seats¢ Fig. 200. The locations
of the airbags are marked with the word "AIR­
BAG".
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side air­
bags give the occupants additional protection for
the whole upper part of the body (i.e. the chest,
stomach and pelvis) in the event of a severe side
collision ¢&. in Important safety notes on the
side airbag system on page 214.
In a side collision the side airbags reduce the risk
of injury to the areas of the body facing the im­
pact.
How the side airbags work
Applies to vehicles: with side airbags
When fully inflated, the side airbags reduce the
risk of injuries to the upper part of the body.
Fig. 201 Side airbag in inflated condition
214 In
certain types of side collision, the side airbag
is triggered on the impact side of the vehicle
¢ Fig. 201. Further airbag systems may also be
triggered, depending on the circumstances.
When the system is triggered, the airbag is filled
with propellant gas.
In order to provide the desired extra protection in
an accident, the airbags have to inflate extremely
rapidly (within fractions of a second). The airbag
releases a fine dust when it inflates. This is quite
normal and does not mean there is a fire in the
vehicle.
When fully deployed, the airbags cushion the im­
pact for the occupants and help to reduce the risk
of injury to the whole upper part of the body (i.e.
the chest, stomach and pelvis) on the side facing
the door.
Important safety notes on the side airbag
system
Applies to vehicles: with side airbags
There are a number of safety points concerning
the airbag system which you should remember.
This will help to reduce the risk of injury in an ac­
cident.
A WARNING
- If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean
forward, or are not seated correctly while
the vehicle is in motion, you are at greater
risk of injury should the side airbags be trig­
gered in an accident.
- If children are not seated correctly, they are
at greater risk of injury in an accident. This
is particularly the case if the child is travel­
ling on the front passenger's seat and the
airbag system is triggered in an accident.
This could result in serious or potentially fa­
tal injury ¢page 195, Child seats.
- It is also important not to attach any acces­
sories (such as cup holders) to the doors.
This would impair the protection offered by
the side airbags.
- The sensors for the airbags are located in
the front doors. You must therefore not
make any modifications to the doors or door

.... trim
(e.g. retrofitting loudspeakers), as this
could impair the function of the side air­
bags. Any damage to the front doors could
lead to faults in the system. Repairs or any
other work on the front doors must there­
fore always be carried out by a qualified
workshop.
- Do not apply excessive force to the sides of
the backrests (such as hard knocks or kicks),
as this could damage parts of the system.
The side airbags could then fail to operate
when required.
- If you intend to fit protective covers over the
seats, these must be of the specific type ap­
proved for use on Audi seats with side air­
bags. Conventional seat covers would ob­
struct the side airbag when it inflates out of
the backrest, and seriously reduce the air­
bag's effectiveness.
- Any damage to the original seat upholstery
or around the seams of the side airbag units
must be repaired immediately by a qualified
workshop.
- Any work involving the
side
airbag system or
removal and installation of the airbag com­
ponents for other repairs (such as repairs to
the seats) must always be performed by a
qualified workshop. Otherwise the airbag
system may fail to work properly.
Head-protection airbags
Description of head-protection airbags
Applies to vehicles: with head-protection airbags
Fig. 202 Location of head-protection airbag above the
door
The head-protection airbags are located above
the doors on the left and right sides of the vehi- Airbag
system
de ¢Fig. 202. The locations of the airbags are
marked with the word "AIRBAG".
In conjunction with the three-point seat belts
and side airbags, the head-protection airbags
give the occupants additional protection against
head and neck injuries in a severe side collision
¢.&. in Important safety notes on the head-pro­
tection airbags on page 216.
Together with other design features (including
cross-braces in the seats and the overall strength
of the body structure), the head-protection and
side airbag system offers an effective further im­
provement to occupant protection in side im­
pacts.
How the head-protection airbags work
Applies to vehicles: with head-protection airbags
When fully inflated, the airbags reduce the risk
of head or chest injury in a side collision.
Fig. 203 Head-protection airbag in inflated condition
In certain types of side collision, the head-protec­
tion airbag is triggered on the impact side of the
vehicle ¢ Fig. 203. Further airbag systems may
also be triggered, depending on the circumstan­
ces.
When the system is triggered, the airbag fills
with a propellant gas and covers the entire area
in front of the side windows, including the door
pillars. In this way the system is able to protect
both the front and the rear occupants on the side
of the vehicle where the impact occurs. The head­
protection airbag inflates to soften the impact if

Changing brake fluid
Your vehicle's Service Schedule will tell you the
regular intervals at which the brake fluid is due
for renewal. We recommend that you have the
brake fluid changed by a qualified workshop dur­
ing a service.
A WARNING
- Brake fluid is poisonous; it must be stored in
the sealed original container in a safe place
out of the reach of children.
- Heavy use of the brakes may cause a vapour
Lock if the brake fluid is left in the system
for too Long. This would seriously affect the

CAUTION
Brake fluid must not be allowed to come into
contact with the vehicle's body, otherwise it
will attack the paintwork.
Battery General notes
ALL work on batteries requires specialist knowl­
edge.
The battery is virtually maintenance-free. It is
checked as part of the Inspection Service.
When an airbag is triggered, the battery will, un­
der certain circumstances, be disconnected from
the on-board power supply for safety reasons
¢ .&.. in General notes on airbag system on
page 209.
Disconnecting the battery
The battery should always be Left connected. If
the battery is disconnected, some of the vehicle's
functions will become inoperative (e.g. electric
windows). These functions will require resetting
after the battery is reconnected. For this reason,
the battery should only be disconnected from the
vehicle's electrical system when absolutely nec­
essary.
If the vehi cle is not used for long periods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using. This Limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
Long period ¢ page 106. Certain convenience fea­
tures, such as interior Lighting or electric seat ad­
justment, may not be available. These functions
will be restored when you switch on the ignition
and start the engine. Even though some systems
are deactivated automatically, certain electrical
equipment continues to draw current even when
the ignition is off. If the vehicle is Left standing
for several months, this can result in total bat-
tery discharge. If the battery is allowed to dis­
charge completely, an internal chemical reaction

replacement parts and
repairs
It is best to consult an authorised Audi dealer
before purchasing accessories and replacement
parts or having any repairs carried out.
Your car is designed to offer a high standard of
active and passive safety. For this reason, we rec­
om mend that you ask your Audi dealer for advice
before fitting accessories or replacement parts.
This is also very important if body repairs are re­
quired. Audi dealers have full information on the
manufacturer-approved repair methods and can
recommend suitable accessories and spare parts.
They can also give advice regarding official re­
quirements for the vehicle.
We recommend you to use only Audi accessories
and Audi Genuine Parts. Audi has tested these
products for suitability, reliability and safety.
Audi dealers have the necessary experience and
facilities to ensure that the parts are installed
properly.
Although the market is constantly scrutinised,
Audi cannot judge or assume responsibility for
the reliability, safety and suitability of non-genu­
ine products -even though in some instances,
these parts may have been approved by an offi­
cially recognised technical testing authority or
accompanied by an official approval certificate.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a direct ef­
fect on the vehicle and/or the way it is driven
(e.g. cruise control system or electronically-con­
trolled suspension) must be approved for use in
your vehicle and bear thee mark (the European
Union's approval symbol).
If any additional electrical components are fit­
ted which do not serve to control the vehicle it­
self (for instance a refrigerator box, laptop or
ventilator fan, etc.), these must bear the CE mark
(manufacturer conformity declaration in the Eu­
ropean Union).

WARNING
Never attach accessories (such as cup holders
or telephone brackets) to the surfaces cover­
ing the airbag units or the areas around the
airbags: this could cause injury if the airbag is
triggered.
({D Note
- Since the Audi TT has an aluminium body,
all ser vicing, repairs or other work on the
car body must be carried out by an Audi
workshop or a qualified workshop working
to the specifications of the Audi factory.
This ensures that the necessary repairs or
servicing are performed properly and that
only Audi Genuine Parts are installed on
your vehicle. Use of non-genuine replace­
ment parts, equipment or accessories on
your Audi TI, or repair of the vehicle by un­
qualified persons, may result in serious
damage to your car (possibly including cor­
rosion).
- The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage which occurs as a result of failure
to comply with these stipulations, and such
damage is not covered under warranty.
Modifi cations
Modifications must always be carried out accord­
ing to our specifications.
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic
components or software in the vehicle may cause
malfunctioning. Due to the way the electronic
components are linked together in networks, oth­
er systems may be affected by the faults. This can
seriously impair safety, lead to excessive wear of
components, and also invalidate the type appro­
val for your vehicle.
You will appreciate that your Audi dealer cannot
be held liable for any damage caused by modifi­
cations and/or work performed incorrectly.
We recommend that all work should be per­
formed by an Audi workshop using Audi Genuine
