---Always make sure that you follow the in-
structions and heed the WARNINGS in this
Manual. It is in your interest and in the in
terest of your passengers.
-Always keep the complete Owner's Litera
ture in your Audi when you lend or sell your
vehicle so that this important information
will always be available to the driver and
passengers.
-Always keep the Owner's literature handy so
that you can find it easily if you have ques
tions.
Safety equipment
The safety features are part of the occupant re
straint
system and work together to help reduce
the risk
of injury in a wide variety of accident sit
uations.
Your safety and the safety of your passengers
should not be left to chance. Advances in tech
nology have made a variety of features available
to help reduce the risk of injury in an accident .
Safe driving
The following is a list of just a few of the safety
features in your Audi:
-
sophisticated safety belts for driver and all pas-
senger seating positions,
-
safety belt pretensioners,
-safety belt force limiters for the front seats,
-front airbags,
- knee airbags for the front seats*
-side airbags in the front seats,
-side curtain airbags with ejection mitigation
features,
-special LATCH anchorages for child restraints,
-adjustable steering column.
These indiv idual safety features, can work to
gether as a system to he lp protect you and your
passengers in a wide range of accidents. These
features cannot work as a system if they are not
always correctly adjusted and correctly used.
Safety is everybody's responsibility!
Important things to do before driving
Safety is everybody's job! Vehicle and occupant
safety always depends on the informed and care
ful driver.
For your safety and the safety of your passen
gers, before driving always:
... Make sure that all lights and signals are operat
ing correctly .
... Make sure that the tire pressure is correct.
... Make sure that all windows are clean and afford
good vis ibility to the outside.
... Secure all luggage and other items carefu lly
c::> page 176, c::> page 48.
... Make sure that nothing can interfere with the
pedals .
... Adjust front seat and mirrors correctly for your
height.
... Make sure to use the right child restraint cor
rectly
to protect chi Id ren Q page 212, Child
safety.

... Fasten your safety belt and wear it properly . Al
so instruct your passengers to fasten their
safety belts properly ¢ page 180.
What impairs driving safety?
Safe driving is directly related to the condition of
the vehicle, the driver as well as the driver 's abili
ty to concentrate on the road without being dis
tracted .
The driver is responsible for the safety of the ve
h icle
and all of its occupants. If your ability to
drive is impaired, safety risks for everybody in the
veh icle increase and you also become a hazard to
everyone else on the road ¢.&,.Therefore :
... Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers
or by using a cellular telephone .
... NEVER drive when your driving ability is im
paired (by medications, alcohol,
drugs, etc.).
... Observe all traffic laws, rules of the road and
speed limits and plain common sense.
... ALWAYS ad just you r speed to road, traffic and
weather cond itions.
... Take frequent breaks on long trips. Do not drive
for
more than two ho urs at a stretch.
... Do NOT drive when you are tired, under pres
sure or when you are stressed.
A WARNING
Impaired dr iv ing safety increases the risk of
serious personal injury and death whenever a
vehicle is
being used.

Correct passenger
seating positions
Proper seating position for the driver
The proper driver seating position is important
for safe, relaxed driving.
Fig. 142 Correct seating pos it ion
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in
jury
in the event of an acc ident, we recommend
that you adjust the driver's seat to the following
position:
... Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily
push the pedals all the way to the floor while
keeping
your knee(s) slightly bent¢.&,.
... Adjust the angle of the seatback so that it is in
an
upright position so that your back comes in
full contact with it when you drive.
... Adjust the steering wheel so that there is a d is
tance of at least 10 in (25 cm) between the
steering wheel and your breast bone ¢fig. 142.
If not possible, see your authorized Audi deal
ership about adaptive equipment .
... Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering
wheel and airbag cover points at your chest and
not at your face .
... Grasp the top of the steering wheel with your
elbow(s) slightly bent .
... Fasten and wear safety belts correctly

General notes
Always wear safety belts!
Wearing safety belts correctly saves lives!
This chapter explains why safety belts are neces
sary, how
they work and how to adjust and wear
them correctly.
... Read all the information that follows and heed
all of the instructions and WARNINGS.
A WARNING
Not wearing safety belts or wearing them im
properly
increases the risk of serious personal
injury and death.
-Safety belts are the s ingle most effective
means available to reduce the risk of serious
injury and death in automobile acc idents.
For your protection and that of your passen
gers, always co rre ctly wea r safety belts
when the vehicle is moving.
-
Pregnant women , inju red, or physically im
paired
persons must also use safety belts.
L
ike all vehicle occupants, they are more
likely to
be serio us ly injured if they do not
wea r safety belts. The best way to protect a
fetus is to protect the mother -throughout
the entire pregnancy.
Number of seats
Your Audi TI Coupe has two seating positions in
the front and two height-limited seating posi
tions in the rear . Each seating position has a safe
ty
belt. T he rear seat area in your Audi TT Coupe
does not have enough room fo r passengers of all
sizes. For
reasons of safety, no person taller than
4 ft 9 in (S 7 i n/1.45 m) should ever ride in the
rear seat area.
A WARNING
t--=
Not wear ing safety belts or wearing them im-
properly
increases the risk of serio us personal
injury and death.
180
- Never strap more than one person, includ
ing
small children, into any belt. It is espe
cially dangerous to place a safety be lt over a
child
sitting on your lap.
- Never
let more people ride in the vehicle
than there are safety belts available.
-
Be sure everyone riding in the vehicle is
properl y restrained with a separate safety
belt o r child restraint.
-
Persons taller than 4 ft 9 in (57 in/1.45 m)
as well as children in booster seats who are
too close to the rear window and roof ca n
suffer severe head and nec k injuries when
the rea r lid is closed or in a crash.
- The
minimum clearance between the pas
senger's heads and the rear window must
never -un de r any circumstances -be less
that lin (2.5 cm) when th e passengers sit
fu lly upright.
-Always make sure that rear seat passengers
cannot be stru c k when the rear lid is closed.
4 Safety belt warning light
Your vehicle has a warning system for the driver
and front seat passenger to remind you about
the importance of buckling up.

A WARNING
-Safety belts are the single most effective
means available to reduce the risk of serious
injury and death in automobile accidents .
For your

Why safety belts?
Frontal collisions and the law of physics
Frontal crashes create very
strong forces for peo
ple riding in vehicles.
Fig. 146 U nbelted occupants in a veh icle headin g for a wall
Ci: Fig. 14 7 The vehicle crashes into the wall CX)

"' U"I

Safety belt s
The physical principles are simple. Both the vehi
cle and
the passengers possess energy which var
ies with vehicle
speed and body weight. Engi
neers call this energy "kinetic energy."
The higher the speed of the vehicle and the
greater the vehicle's weight, the more energy
that has to be "absorbed" in the crash.
Vehicle speed is the most significan t factor. If
the speed doubles from 15 to 30 mph (25 to 50
km/h), the energy increases 4 times!
B ecau
se the passengers of t his vehicle are not us
ing
saf e ty belts~ fig. 146, they will keep moving
at the same speed the vehicle was moving just
before the crash, until something stops them -
here, the wall~ fig. 147.
The same principles apply to people sitting in a
vehicle
that is invo lved in a frontal co llision. Even
at city speeds of 20 to 30 mph (30 to 50 km/h),
the forces acting on the body can reach one ton
(2,000 lbs, or 1,000 kg) or more. At higher
speeds, these forces are even greater.
People who do not use safety belts are also not
attached to thei r vehicle. In a frontal coll is ion
they will also keep moving forward at the speed
their vehicle was travelling just before the crash .
Of course, the laws of physics don't just apply to
frontal collisions , they determine what happens
in all kinds of accide nts and collisions .

Safety belts
Fastening safety belts
Seat first -everybody buckle up!
Fig. 151 Belt buckle and tongue on t he driver's seat
To provide maximum protection, safety belts
must always be positioned correctly on the wear
er's body.
... Adjust the front seat properly c::> page 44, Seats
and storage.
... Make sure the seatback of the rear seat bench
is
in an upright position and securely latched in
place before using the belt¢ ,&. .
... Hold the belt by the tongue and pull it evenly
across
the chest and pelv is c::> .&_.
... Insert the tongue into the correct buckle of
your seat until you hear i t latch securely
c::>fig. 151.
... Pull on the bel t to make sure that it is securely
latched in the buck le .
Automatic safety belt retractors
Every safety belt is equipped with an automatic
belt retractor on the shoulder belt. T his feature
locks the belt when the belt is pul led out fast,
during hard braking and in an accident. The belt
may also lock when you drive up or down a steep
hill or through a sharp curve. During normal driv
ing
the belt lets you move freely.
184
Safety belt pretensioners
The safety belts on the front seats are equipped
with a belt pretensioner that helps to tighten the
safety belt and remove slack when the preten
sioner is activated. The function of the preten
sioner is monitored by a warning light c::> page 15.
Convertible locking retractor
Every safety belt except the one on the driver
seat is equipped with a convertib le locking retrac
tor that must be used when the safety belt is
used to attach a child seat. Be sure to read the
important information about this feature
c::>page223 .
.&. WARNING
Improperly positioned safety belts can cause
serious injur y in an accident .:::>page 185,
Safety belt position.
-Safety belts offer optimum protection only
when the seatback is upright and belts are
properly positioned on the body .
- Always
make sure that the rear seat back
rest to which the center rear safety belt* is
attached is securely latched whenever the
rear center safety belt is being used. If the
backrest is not securely latched, the passen
ger will move forward with the backrest dur
ing
sudden braking, in a sudden maneuver
and especiall y in a crash .
- Always
make sure that the rear seat back
rest is securely latched whenever the rear
safety belt is being used. If the backrest is
not securely latched, the passenger will
move
forward with the backrest during sud
den braking, in a sudden maneuver and es
peciall y in a crash.
- Never
attach the safety belt to the buckle
for
another seat. Attaching the belt to the
wrong buckle will reduce safety belt effec
tiveness and can cause serio us personal in
jury.
- A
passenger who is not properly restra ined
can
be seriously injured by the safety belt it
self when it moves from the stronger parts
of the body into critical areas like the abdo
men.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Airbag system
The Advanced Airbag System in your vehicle has
been certified to comply with the Requirements
of United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 208 as applicable at the time your vehi
cle
was manufactured.
The
Standard requires the front airbag on the
passenger side to be turned off ("suppressed") if
a child up
to about one year of age restrained in
one of the rear-facing or forward-facing infant re
straints listed in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 208 with which the Advanced Airbag
System in your vehicle was certified has been in
stalled on the front passenger seat. For a listing
of the child restraints that were used to certify
compliance with the US Safety Standard
<=!>page 214.
The PA SSENGER AIR BAG OFF light in the over
head console tells you when the front Advan ced
Airbag on the passenger side has been turned off
by the electronic control unit.
E ach ti
me you turn on the igni tion, the PASSEN
GER
AIR BAG OFF l ight will come on fo r a few
seconds and:
- will stay on if the front passenger seat is not
occupied,
- will
stay on if the electrical capacitance meas
u red by the capacitive passenger detection sys
tem fo r th e fron t passenger seat equals the
combined capaci tance of an infant up to about
one year of age and one of the rearward-facing
or forward-facing child restraints listed in Fed
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 with
which the Advanced Airbag System in your vehi
cle
was certifi ed. For a listing of the child re
straints that were used to certify your vehicle's
compliance with the U .S . Safety Standard
<=!>page 214.
- will stay on if there is a small ch ild or child re
straint on the front passenger seat,
- will go off if the front passenger seat is occu
pied by
an adult as registered by the capacitive
passenger detection system<=!> page 199, Mon
itoring the Advanced Airbag System.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on
when electrical capacitance registered on the
front passenger seat is equal to or less than the
190
combined capacitance of a typical 1 year-old in
fant and one of the rearward-facing or forward
facing child restraints listed in Federal Motor Ve
hicle
Safety Standard 208 w ith which the Ad
vanced Airbag
System in your vehicle was certi
fied .
If the total electrica l capacitance registered on
the front passenger seat is more than that of a
typi ca l 1 year-old child but less than the weight
of a small adult, the front airbag on the passen
ger side can deploy (the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF light does not come on).
If the PAS SENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on, the front airbag on the passenger side
has not been turned off by the electronic con trol
u
nit and can depl oy if the control unit senses an
impact that meets the conditions stored in its
memory .
For example, the airbag may deploy if:
- a small child that is heavier than a typical 1
year-old child is
on the front passenger seat
(regardless of whether the child is in one of the
child safety seats l isted<=:> page 214), or
- a child who has outgrown child restraints is on
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger airbag is turned off, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ligh t comes on in the
overhead console and stays on.
If the front passenger airbag deploys, the Feder
al Standard requires the airbag to meet the "low
risk"
deployment criteria to reduce the r isk of in
jury through interaction w ith the airbag. "Low
risk "
deployment occurs in those crashes that
take place at lower decelerations as defined in
the electronic co ntrol unit<=!> page 200, PASSEN
G ER AIR BAG OFF light.
Always remember, a child seat or infant carrier
installed on the front seat may be struck and
k nocked out of positio n by the rapidly inflating
passenger's airbag i n a frontal collision. The a ir
bag cou ld greatly reduce the effectiveness of the
child restraint and even seriously injure the child
d uring inflation .
