All-weather lights*
On vehicles with all-weather lights, the front
lights are adjusted automatically so that the
headlights on your own vehicle do not blind you,
for instance when driving on a wet road.
Automatic dynamic headlight range control*
Your vehicle is equipped with a headlight range
control to prevent oncoming traffic from being
dazzled when the vehicle is heavily laden. The
headlight beam settings are adjusted automati­
cally (even during braking and acceleration). Lights

Light functions
The following light functions depend on which
equipment is fitted in your vehicle and work only
when the light switch is set to AUTO. You can de­
activate them in the Audi adaptive light menu in
the infotainment system¢ page 39.
Static cornering light (turning light)* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) -the turning light
is automatically activated when the steering
wheel angle exceeds a specified value (up to
about 70 km/h) or when the turn signals are
switched on (up to about 40 km/h). This feature
provides better illumination at the side of the ve­
hicle when you turn off at a junction.
Motorway light* (on vehicles with LED head­
lights) -this function adjusts the vehicle lighting
on motorways, according to your speed.
Speed-dependent light distribution* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) -this function ad­
justs the light distribution as required in towns,
on motor ways and on other main roads. Intersec­
tions can also be illuminated if your vehicle is
equipped with a navigation system*.
A WARNING
- The automatic headlights* are only intended
to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when
required, and may have to switch them on
manually when the light conditions or visi­
bility are poor. For example, the light sen­
sors are not able to detect fog. Therefore,
you should always switch on the dipped
headlights io in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
- Observe all relevant statutory requirements
when using the lighting systems described
here.
CD CAUTION
To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the
rear fog light should only be used in accord­
ance with statutory regulations.

belts
Even at urban speeds of 30 km/h to 50 km/h, the
forces acting on the occupants in a collision can
reach the equivalent of 1 ton (1000 kg) or more.
At greater speed these forces are even higher.
Again: if the speed doubles, the forces increase
by a factor of four.
Passengers who do not wear seat belts are not
"attached" to the vehicle. In a frontal collision
they will continue to move forward at the speed
their car was travelling just before the impact.
What happens to passengers not wearing
seat belts?
Passengers not wearing seat belts risk fatal inju­
ries in the event of an accident.
Fig. 186 A driver not wearing a seat belt can be thrown
forwards
Fig. 187 A rear passenger not wearing a seat belt can be
thrown forwards
In a frontal collision, unbelted passengers will be
thrown forwards and make violent contact with
the steering wheel, dashboard, windscreen, etc
¢ Fig
. 186.
Passengers not wearing their belts
risk being thrown out of the car. This could result
in potentially fatal injuries.
The common belief that occupants can brace
their weight with their hands in a minor collision
206 is
false. Even at low speeds the forces acting on
the body in a collision are so great that it is not
possible to hold yourself in the seat.
It is also important for the rear passengers to
wear seat belts, as they could otherwise be
thrown forwards violently in an accident. Rear
passengers who do not use seat belts endanger
not only themselves but also the other occupants

system
Description of front airbags
The airbag system is not a substitute for the seat
belts.
Fig. 196 Driver's airbag in steering wheel
Fig. 197 Front passenger's airbag in dashboard
The front airbag for the driver is located in the
padded hub of the steering wheel ¢Fig. 196. The
front airbag for the front passenger is in the
dashboard above the glove box ¢Fig. 197. The
locations of the airbags are marked with the
word "AIRBAG".
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front air­
bags give additional head and chest protection
for the driver and front passenger in the event of
a severe frontal collision ¢ A in Important safe­
ty notes on the front airbag system on
page 213.
212 How
the front airbags work
When fully inflated, the airbags reduce the risk
of head or chest injury.
Fig. 198 Front airbags in inflated condition
The driver's and front passenger's airbag are trig­
gered in certain frontal collisions ¢Fig. 198. Fur­
ther airbag systems may also be triggered, de­
pending on the circumstances.
When the system is triggered, the airbags fill
with a prope llant gas and open out in front of the
driver and front passenger ¢ Fig. 198. In order to
provide the desired extra protection in an acci­
dent, the airbags have to inflate extremely rapid­
ly (within fractions of a second). The fully de­
ployed airbags cushion the forwards movement
of the front occupants and help to reduce the risk
of injury to the head and the upper part of the
body.
Special openings in the airbag allow the gas to
escape at a controlled rate to restrain the for­
ward movement of the occupant's head and tor­
so. Once the impact has been absorbed, the air­
bag deflates sufficiently for the front occupants
to see forward.

.... Important
safety notes on the front airbag
system
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.
Fig. 199 Minimum distance from steering wheel
A WARNING
- It is important for the driver and front pas­
senger to maintain a distance of at least
25 cm from the steering wheel or dash­
board ¢Fig. 199. The airbag system will not
be able to give the required protection if you
sit too close to the steering wheel or dash­
board. There is also a risk of injury if the air­
bags are inflated. Additionally, the front
seat position should always be adjusted to
the body size of the occupant.
- If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean
forward or to the side, or are not seated cor­
rectly while the vehicle is in motion, you are
at greater risk of injury. Should the airbag
system be triggered in an accident there is
an even greater risk of injury.
- Never let a child travel on the front seat
without an appropriate restraint system. If
the airbag is triggered in an accident, the
child could sustain serious or fatal injuries
¢page 195, Child seats.
- Child seats in which the child faces the rear
of the car are located directly in the path of
the front passenger's airbag if it inflates. In
this case, the child could sustain serious or
fatal injuries if the airbag were to be de­
ployed. 0

- Airbag
system
- Applies to vehicles on which the front pas­
senger's airbag cannot be deactivated: Do
NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat.
- Applies to vehicles with key-operated
switch for deactivating the front passeng­
er's airbag: Do NOT use a rearward-facing
child seat on the front passenger's seat
while the front passenger's airbag is ac­
tive. If you have no alternative but to use a
rear ward-facing child seat on the front
passenger's seat, the front passenger's
airbag must be deactivated beforehand via
the key-operated switch* ¢ page 211.
Make sure that the front passenger's air­
bag is reactivated by means of the key-op­
erated switch* as soon as the child seat is
no longer needed on the front passenger's
seat.
- Occupants sitting in the front of the car
must never carry any objects or pets in the
space between them and the airbags, or al­
low children or other passengers to travel in
this position.
- Do not cover or stick anything on the steer­
ing wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of
the airbag unit on the passenger's side of
the dashboard, and do not obstruct or modi­
fy them in any way. These parts should only
be cleaned with a dry cloth (or with a cloth
moistened with plain water). It is also im­
portant not to attach any objects such as
cup holders or telephone mountings to the
surfaces covering the airbag units.
- Any work on the airbag system or removal
and installation of the airbag components
for other repairs (such as repairs to the
steering wheel or removal of seats) must be
performed by a qualified workshop.

Never spill fluids on a hot engine. These flu­
ids can cause a fire (e.g. radiator anti­
freeze).
- Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system, especially when working
on the battery.
- When working in the engine compartment
be aware that the radiator fan may start
running suddenly, even if the ignition is
switched off-risk of injury!
- Do not unscrew the cap on the expansion
tank when the engine is hot. The cooling
system is under pressure.
- Protect face, hands and arms by covering
the cap with a large, thick rag to protect
against escaping coolant and steam.
- Never remove the engine cover panel -risk
of burns!
- If any tests have to be performed with the
engine running, there is an extra safety risk
from the rotating parts, such as the drive
belts, alternator and radiator fan, etc., and
from the high-voltage ignition system.
- Vehicles with automatic gearbox: Never
open the throttle inadvertently (for instance
by hand from the engine compartment) if a
gear is engaged while the vehicle is station­
ary with the engine running. The vehicle
could otherwise start moving immediately
and possibly cause an accident.
- Observe the following additional warnings if
work on the fuel system or the electrical
system is necessary:
- Always disconnect the battery.
- Do not smoke.
- Never work near naked flames.
- Always keep an approved fire extinguisher
immediately available.
CD CAUTION
When topping up fluids make sure the correct
fluid is put into the correct filler opening. This
can otherwise cause serious malfunctions or
engine damage. Checking
and topping up fluids
® For the sake of the environment
Inspect the ground underneath your vehicle
regularly so that any leaks are detected at an
early stage. If you find spots of oil or other
fluids, have your vehicle inspected in the
workshop.
