General information
Why is your seat adjustment so important?
The safety belts and the airbag system can only
provide
maximum protection if the front seats
are correctly adjusted.
There are various ways of adjusting the front
seats to provide safe and comfortable support
for the driver and the front passenger. Adjust
your seat properly so that:
- you can easily and quickly reach all the switches
and controls in the instrument panel
-your body is properly supported thus reducing
physical
stress and fatigue
-the safety belts and a irbag system can offer
maximum protection ¢ page 188.
In the following sections, you will see exactly
how you can
best adjust your seats.
There are special regulations and instructions for
installing a ch ild
seat on the front passenger's
seat. Always follow the information regarding
child
safety provided in ¢ page 212, Child safe­
ty .
A WARNING
Incorrect seating position of the driver and all
other passengers can result in serious person­
al injury.
- Always keep
your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is in motion - never put your feet on
top of the instrument panel, out of the win­
dow or
on top of the seat cushion. This ap­
plies especi ally to the passengers. If your
seating pos ition is i nco rrect, you increase
the risk of injury in the case of sudden brak­
ing
or an accident. If the airbag inflates and
the seating position is incorr ect, this could
result in personal injury or even death.
-It is important for both the driver and front
passenger to keep a distance of at least
10 in (25 cm) between themselves and the
steering wheel and/or instrument panel. If
yo u'r e sitting any closer than this, the air­
bag system cannot protect you properly . In
44
addition, the front seats and head restraints
m ust be adjusted to yo ur body height so
that they can give you maximum protection.
-Always try to keep as much distance as pos­
sible
between yourself and the steeri ng
wheel or instrument panel.
-Do not adjust the driver's or front passeng­
er's seat while the veh icle is moving. Your
seat may move unexpectedly, causing sud­
den loss of vehicle control and personal in­
jury. If you adjust yo ur seat while the veh icle
is moving, you are o ut of pos ition.
Driver's seat
The correct seat position is important for safe
and relaxed driving.
We recommend that you adjust the driver's seat
in the following manner:
.... Adjust the seat in fore and aft direction so that
you can easi ly push the pedals to the floor
while keeping your knees slightly
bent¢ f1::::.. in
Why is your seat adjustment so important? on
page
44.
I
.... Adjust the backrest so that when you sit w ith
your back against the backrest, you can still
grasp the top of the steering wheel.
A WARNING
Neve r place any objects in the driver's foot­
well. An object could get into the pedal area
and interfere with pedal function . In case of
sudden braking or an accident, you would not
be able to brake or accelerate.
Front passenger's seat
Always move the front passenger seat into the
rearmost position.
-
To avoid con tact wit h the airbag while it is de­
ploying ,
do not sit any closer to the instrument
panel than necessary and always wear th e three­
po int safety belt provided adjusted correctly . We
r
ecommend that you adjust the passenger's seat
i n the following manner: .,..

Airbag system
Important information
Importance of wearing safety belts and
sitting properly
Airbags are only supplemental restraints. For
airbags to do their job, occupants must always
properly wear their
safety belts and be in a prop­
er seating position.
For your safety and the safety of your passen­
gers, before driving off, always:
,. Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel
properly<::;> page 172,
,. Adjust the front passenger's seat properly
¢page 44,
,. Wear safety belts properly ¢page 183,
,. Always properly use the proper child restraint
to protect children ¢page 212.
In a collision airbags must inflate within the blink
of an eye and with considerable force. The sup­
plemental airbags can cause injuries if the driver
or the front seat passenger is not seated proper·
Ly. Therefore in order to help the airbag to do its
job, it is important, both as a driver and as a pas­
senger to sit properly at all times.
By keeping room between your body and the
steering wheel and the front of the passenger
compartment, the airbag can inflate fully and
completely and provide supplemental protection
in certain frontal collisions r=.> page 172, Correct
passenger seating positions . For details on the
operation of the seat adjustment controls
¢page45.
It's especially important that children are proper­
ly restrained¢ page 212.
There is a lot that the driver and the passengers
can and must do to help the individual safety fea­
tures installed in your Audi work together as a
system.
Proper seating position is important so that the
front airbag on the driver side can do its job. If
you have a physical impairment or condition that
prevents you from sitting properly on the driver
seat wi th the safety belt properly fastened and
188
reaching the pedals, or if you have concerns with
regard to the function or operation of the Ad­
vanced Airbag
System, please contact your au­
thorized Audi
dealer or qualified workshop, or
call Audi Customer Relations at 1-800-822-2834
for possible modifications to your vehicle.
When the airbag system deploys , a gas generator
will fill the airbags, break open the padded cov­
ers, and inflate between the steering wheel and
the driver and between the instrument panel and
the front passenger. The airbags will deflate im­
mediately after deployment so that the front oc­
cupants can see through the windshield again
without interruption.
All of this takes place in th e blink of an eye, so
fast that many people don't even realize that the
airbags have deployed. The airbags also inflate
with a great deal of force and nothing should be
in their way when they deploy . Front airbags in
combination with properly worn safety belts slow
down
and limit the occupant's forward move­
ment. Together they help to prevent the driver
and front seat passenger from hitting parts of
the inside the vehicle while reducing the forces
acting on the occupant during the crash. In this
way they help to reduce the risk of injury to the
head and upper body in the crash. Airbags do not
protect the arms or the lower parts of the body.
Both
front a irbags will not inflate in all frontal
collisions. The triggering of the airbag system de­
pends on the vehicle deceleration rate caused by
the collision and registered by the electronic con­
trol unit. If this rate is below the reference value
programmed into the control unit, the airbags
will not be triggered, even though the car may be
badly
damaged as a result of the co llision. Vehi ­
cle
damage, repair costs or even the lack of vehi­
cle
damage is not necessarily an indication of
whether an airbag should inflate or not.
Since the circumstances will vary considerably
between one collision and another, it is not possi ­
ble to define a range of vehicle speeds that will
cover every possible kind
and angle of impact
that will always trigger the airbags. Important
factors include, for example, the nature (hard or
soft) of the object which the car hits, the angle of
impact, vehicle speed, etc. The front airbags will Iii>

backrest, center armrest, door, or roof.
- Always
install rearward-facing child re­
straints 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
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must in­
stall a forward-fac ing chi ld restraint on the
front passenger's seat:
- Always make sure the forward-fac ing seat
has been designed and cer t ified by its man­
ufacturer for use on a fron t 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 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
is sent continuous ly to the electronic control
u
nit to reg ulate deployment of t he front Ad­
vanced Airbag on
the passenger side.
