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.

of vehicle and cleaning
- The vehicle must be free of dirt and dust
before applying polish/wax -otherwise
the paintwork may be damaged.
- Do not polish/wax the vehicle in direct
sunlight -this can damage the paint!
- Do not attempt to polish out surface rust
deposits -this can damage the paint!
- Remove cosmetics and sun lotion immedi­
ately -otherwise the paintwork may be
damaged.
- Instrument cluster
- Before cleaning, ensure that the instru-
ment cluster is switched off and cool.
- The instrument cluster and the surround­
ing trim must not be cleaned with a dry
cloth -this can scratch the surfaces!
- Do not let any liquid get between the in­
strument cluster and the trim -risk of
damage!
- Control consoles
- Do not let any liquid get inside the control
consoles -risk of damage!
- Seat belts
- Do not remove the seat belts to clean
them.
- Do not use chemical cleaning agents, cor­
rosive liquids, solvents or sharp instru­
ments to clean the seat belts or their com­
ponents -this can damage the belt web­
bing!
- If you find any damage to the belt web­
bing, the belt fittings, the belt retractor or
the buckle, have the belt in question re­
placed by a qualified workshop.
- Fabrics/leatherette/Alcantara
- Do not use leather care products, solvents,
wax polish, shoe cream, stain removers, or
any similar products on leatherette/Alcan­
tara fabrics.
- To avoid damage, stubborn stains should
be removed by a qualified workshop.
- Never use steam cleaners, brushes, hard
sponges or similar utensils.
- Do not use the seat heating* to dry the
seats.
240 -
Sharp-edged objects on clothing, such as
zip fasteners, rivets or belts, can also
damage the surface of the fabric.
- Please make sure you close any velcro fas­
teners, e.g. on your clothing, as these
could otherwise damage the upholstery.
- Natural leather
- Do not use solvents, wax polish, shoe
cream, stain removers, or any similar
products on leather fabrics.
- Sharp-edged objects on clothing, such as
zip fasteners, rivets or belts, can also
damage the surface of the fabric.
- Never use steam cleaners, brushes, hard
sponges or similar utensils.
- Do not use the seat heating* to dry the
seats.
- Avoid exposing leather to direct sunlight
for long periods, otherwise it may tend to
lose some of its colour. If the car is left for
a prolonged period in the bright sun, it is
best to cover the leather.
@ Note
- It is much easier to remove dead insects if
the car has been waxed recently.
- Regular waxing can help protect against
surface rust.
Taking the vehicle out of
service
If you wish to take your vehicle out of service for
a long period of time, contact an Audi dealer or
other qualified workshop. Here you will receive
advice on necessary measures, for example re­
garding corrosion protection, maintenance and
storage. In addition, please observe the general
notes on the battery � page 226.
