-If driver's door is opened while the ignition
is
switched on, the parking brake sets auto­
matically. This prevents unintended rolling
of the vehicle.
- Occasional noises
when the parking brake is
applied
and released are normal and are not
a cause for concern.
-
When the vehicle is parked, the parking
brake goes through a self-test cycle at regu­
lar intervals. Any noises associated with this
are normal.
-If the. (USA models) I. (Cana-
da models) indicator lights or llJ indicator
lig ht
turn on, there could be a malfunction
in the park ing brake ~page 11.
-If there is a power failure, the parking brake
will not set if it is released, and it will not
release if it is set~.&.. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa­
cility for
assistance.

A WARNING
-Always take the vehicle key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short period
of time. This applies particularly when chi l­
dren remai n in the vehicle. Otherwise the
children could start the engine, release the
parking brake or operate electrical equip­
ment (e.g. power windows). There is the risk
of an accident.
-
When the vehicle is locked, no one -particu­
larly
not children should remain in the vehi­
cle. Locked
doors make it more difficult for
emergency workers to get into the vehicle,
which
puts lives at risk.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine For this reason, and because the back seat is the
safest place for children -when properly restrain­
ed according
to their age and size -we strongly
recommend that children always sit in the back
seat Q page 212, Child safety.
_&WARNING
A child in a rearward-fac ing child seat instal­
led on
the front passenger seat will be seri­
ously injured
and can be killed if the front air­
bag inflates -even with
an Advanced Airbag
System.
-The inflating airbag will hit the child seat or
infant carrier with great force and will
smash the child seat and child against the
backrest, center armrest, door or roof.
- Always
install rear-facing child seats on the
rear seat.
-If you must install a rearward facing child
seat on the front passenger seat because of
exceptional circumstances and the PASSEN·
GER AIR BAG OFF light does not come on
and stay on, immediately install the rear­
facing child
seat in a rear seating position
and have
the airbag system inspected by
your Audi dealer.
- Forward-facing child
seats installed on the
front passenger's seat may interfere with
the deployment of the airbag and cause se·
rious personal injury to the child.
A WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must in­
stall a forward-facing child restraint on the
front passenger's seat:
-Always make sure the forward-facing seat
has been designed and certified by its man­
ufacturer for use on a front seat with a pas­
senger front and side airbag.
- Never
put the forward-facing child restraint
up against or very near the instrument pan­
el.
-Always move the passenger seat into its
rearmost position in the seat's fore and aft
adjustment range, as far away from the air­
bag as possible
before installing the for-
Airbag system
ward-facing child restraint. The backrest
must be adjusted to an upright position.
- Make
sure that the PASSEN GER AIR BAG
OFF light comes on and stays on all the time
whenever the ignition is switched on.
A WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, make sure
that the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light will
be displayed
whenever a child restraint is in­
stalled on the front passenger seat and the
ignition is switched on.
-
If the PAS SENGER AIR BAG OFF light does
not stay on, perform the checks described
~page 199, Monitoring the Advanced Air·
bag System.
-Take the child restraint off the front passen·
ger seat and install it properly at one of the
rear seat positions if the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF light does not stay on.
- Have
the airbag system inspected by your
Audi dealer immediately.
- Always carefully follow
instructions from
child restraint manufacturers when instal­
ling child restraints.
A WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must in­
stall a forward or rearward-facing child re­
straint on the front passenger's seat:
-Improper installation of child restraints can
reduce their effectiveness or even prevent
them from provid ing any protection.
-An improperly installed child restraint can
interfere with the airbag as it deploys and
seriously injure
or even kill the child -even
with an Advanced Airbag System.
-Always carefully follow the manufacturer's
instructions provided with the child seat or
carrier.
-Always make sure that there is nothing on
the front passenger seat that will cause the

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine -Objects in the zone of a deploying airbag
can
become projectiles when the airbag de­
ploys and cause serious personal injury.
- Never hold
things in your hands or on your
lap
when the vehicle is in use.
-Never place accessories or other objects
(such as cup holders, telephone brackets,
note pads, navigation systems, or things
that are large, heavy, or bulky) on the doors;
never
attach then to the doors or the wind­
shield; never place
them over or near or at­
tach them to the area marked ,.AIRBAG" on
the steering wheel, instrument panel or the
seat backrests; never place them between
these areas and you or any other person in
the vehicle.
- Never
attach objects to the windshield
above
the passenger front airbag, such as
accessory GPS navigation units or music
players. Such
objects could cause serious in­
jury
in a collision, especially when the air­
bags inflate.
- Never recline
the front passenger seat to
transport objects. Items can also move into
the deployment area of the side airbags or
the front airbag during breaking or in a sud­
den maneuver. Objects near the airbags can
fly dangerously through the passenger com­
partment and cause injury, particularly
when the seat is reclined and the airbags in­
flate.
A WARNING
A person on the front passenger seat, espe­
cially infants and small children, will receive
serious injuries and can even be killed by be­
ing
too close to the airbag when it inflates.
- Although
the Advanced Airbag System in
your vehicle is designed to turn off the front
passenger airbag if an infant or a small child
is on
the front passenger seat, nobody can
absolutely guarantee that deployment un­
der these special conditions is impossible in
all conceivable situations that may happen
during the useful life of your vehicle.
- The Advanced Airbag
System can deploy in
accordance with the "low risk" option under
-I
Airbag system
the U.S. Federal Standard if a child that is
heavier
than the typical one-year old child is
on
the front passenger seat and the other
conditions for airbag deployment are met.
- Accident statistics have shown that children
are generally safer in the rear seat area than
in the front seating position .
- For
their own safety, all children, especially
12 years and younger, should always ride in
the back properly restrained for their age
and size.
Advanced front airbag system
Your vehicle is equipped with a front Advanced
Airbag
System in compliance with United States
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 asap­
plicable at the time your vehicle was manufac­
tured.
The front Advanced Airbag System supplements
the safety belts to provide additional protection
for the driver's and front passenger's heads and
upper bodies in frontal crashes. The airbags in­
flate only in frontal impacts when the vehicle de­
celeration is high enough.
The front Advanced Airbag System for the front
seat occupants is not a substitute for your safety
belts. Rather, it is part of the overall occupant re­
straint system in your vehicle. Always remember
that the airbag system can only help to protect
you, if you are sitting upright, wearing your safe­
ty belt and wearing it properly. This is why you
and your passengers must always be properly re­
strained, not just because the law requires you to
be.
The Advanced Airbag
System in your vehicle has
been certified to meet the "low risk" require-
ments for 3 and 6 year-old children on the pas­
senger side and very small adults on the driver
side. The low risk
deployment criteria are intend­
ed to help reduce the risk of injury through inter­
action with the front airbag that can occur, for
example, by being too close to the steering wheel
and instrument panel when the airbag inflates.
In addition,
the system has been certified to
comply with the "suppression" requirements of .,..

-Always move the passenger seat into its
rearmost position in the seat's fore and aft
adjustment range, as far away from the air­
bag as possible, before install ing the for­
ward-facing child
restraint. The backrest
must be adjusted to an upright positio n.
-Always make sure that there is nothing on
the front passenger seat that will cause the
capacitive passenger detection system in
the seat to signa l to the Airbag System that
the seat is occupied by a person when it is
not, or to signa l that it is occupied by some­
one who is heavier than the person actually
sitting on the seat. T he presence of addi­
tional objec ts could cause the passenger
fro nt airbag to be turned on when it should
be off, or could cause the airbag to work in a
way
that is different from the way it would
have worked
without the object on the seat.
- Make
sure that the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF light comes on and stays on all the time
whenever the ignition is switched on.
Airbag system
Advanced Airbag System components
The front passenger seat in your vehicle has a lo t
of ve ry important parts of the Advan ced Airb ag
System in it. These parts include the capacitive
passenger detection system, wiring, brackets,
and more. The control unit monitors the system
on the front passenger seat when the ignition is
switched on and turns the airbag indicator light
on when a malfunction in the one of the system
components is detected c> page 200. Because
the front passenger seat contai ns important
parts of the Advanced Airbag System, you must
take care to p revent it from being damaged.
Dam age to the seat m ay prevent the Advan ced
Airbag
System for the front passenger seat from
doing its job in a crash.
The front Advanced Airbag System consists
of the following:
-Crash sensors in the front of the ve hicl e tha t
measure vehicle acceleration/deceleration to
prov ide information to the Advanced Airbag
System about the severity of the crash.
-
An electronic control unit, with integrated
crash sensors for front and side impacts. The
control un it "decides" whether to f ir e the front
airbags based on the information rece ived from
the crash sensors. The control unit also "de­
cides" whether the safety belt pretensioners
should be activated.
-
An Advanced Airbag with gas generator for the
driver inside the steering wheel hub .
-
An Adva nced Airbag with gas generator inside
the instrument panel for the front passenger.
- A
capacitive passenger detection system under­
neath the front passenger seat cove r. This sys ­
tem measures the electrica l capacitance of the
pe rson in the seat. The information registered

When an airbag deploys, fine dust is released.
This is normal and is not caused by a fire in the
vehicle. This dust is made up mostly of a powder
used to lubricate the airbags as they deploy. It
could irritate skin.
It is important to remember that while the sup­
plemental airbag system is designed to reduce
the likelihood of serious injuries, other injuries,
for example swelling , bruising and minor abra­
sions, can also happen when airbags inflate. Air­
bags do not protect the arms or the lower parts
of the body. Front airbags supplement the three
point safety belts only in some frontal collisions
in which the vehicle deceleration is high enough
to deploy the airbags.
Front airbag s will not deploy:
-ifthe ignit ion is switched off when a crash oc-
curs,
-in side collisions,
-
in rear-end collisions,
-
in rollovers,
-
when the crash deceleration measured by the
airbag system is less than the minimum thresh­
old needed for airbag deployment as registered
by the electronic control unit.
The front passenge r airbag will also not
deploy:
-when the front passenger seat is not occupied,
-
when the electrical capacitance measured by
the capacitive passenger detection system for
the front passenger seat indicates that the pas­
senger side frontal airbag must be switc hed off
by the electronic control unit (the PASSENGER
AIR
BAG OFF light Q page 200 and how they
work comes on and stays on).
A WARNING
Sitting in the wrong position can increase the
risk of serious injury in crashes.
-To reduce the risk of injury when the airbags
inflate, the driver and passengers must al­
ways
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.
198
-Occupants who are unbelted, out of position
or too close to the airbag can be seriously
injured
by an airbag as it unfolds with great
force in the blink of an eye Q page 189.
A WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing child seat instal­
led
on the front passenger seat will be seri­
ously injured
and can be killed if the front air­
bag inflates -even with an Advanced Airbag
System.
-The inflating airbag will hit the child seat or
infant carrier with great force and will
smash the child seat and child against the
backrest, center armrest, door or roof.
- Always install rear-facing
child seats on the
rear seat.
- If you must install a rearward facing child
seat on the front passenger seat because of
exceptional circumstances and the PASSEN­
GER AIR BAG OFF light does not come on
and stay on, immediately install the rear­
facing child seat in a rear seating position
and have the airbag system inspected by
your Audi dealer.
A WARNING
Objects between you and the airbag will in­
crease the risk of injury in a crash by interfer­
ing with the way the airbag unfolds or by be­
ing 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 in
to the area of the front airbags dur­
ing braking or other sudden maneuver and
become dangerous projectiles that can
cause serious personal injury if the airbags
inflate.
- Never place
or attach accessories or other
objects (such as cup holders, telephone
brackets, large, heavy or bulky objects) on
the doors, over or near the area marked
"AIRBAG" on the steering wheel, instru­
ment panel, seat backrests or between
