CX) Airbag
system
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 severe side collision the side airbags reduce
the risk of injury to the occupants ¢,&..
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 indicator lamp m 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 indicator 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
cupants are wearing their seat belts. For Airbag
system
this reason it is very important to wear the
seat belts at all times ¢ page 230, 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 54, Front seats.
- If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean
forward, 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 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 any repair work is required or the airbag
and restraint systems have to be replaced,
have the work carried out by your authorised
Audi dealer or a qualified workshop which
adheres to the Audi factory standards. This
will minimise the risk of injury.
- 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.

Engine oil
Choosing the correct engine oil grade
The service interval display in the instrument
cluster of your vehicle will inform you when it is
time for an oil change. We recommend having
the oil changed by a qualified workshop.
If you have to top up the oil between oil changes,
use the grades of oil specified in the table in ac
cordance with VW standards.
- the vehicle is being serviced based on the flexi
ble or fixed oil change service (see last service
record).
- the vehicle has a petrol or diesel engine (see
sticker on inside of fuel tank flap).

... Check that the snow chains are correctly seated
after driving for a few yards; follow the instruc
tions given by the manufacturer.
... Keep your speed below 50 km/h. Please ob-
serve the applicable local regulations.
For technical reasons snow chains may only be
used on tyres with certain wheel rim/tyre combi
nations.
Rim size Rim offset Tyre size
7Jx17 47 mm 225/50
8Jx19 52
mm
225/40
You must remove the snow chains on roads which
are free of snow; otherwise the vehicle handling
may be impaired and the tyres may be damaged.
A WARNING
Unsuitable or incorrectly mounted snow
chains can cause you to lose control of the ve
hicle -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
- Snow chains can damage the rim/hubcap* if
they make direct contact with it. Remove
the hubcaps* beforehand. Use snow chains
which have a protective coating.
- If you use snow chains with links that pro
trude more than 13.5 mm, this could cause
severe damage to the wheel housings and
other parts of the vehicle.
({D Note
When driving with snow chains, it may help to
switch on sport mode ¢ page 114.
Low-profile tyres
Applies to: vehicles with low-profile tyres
Your vehicle is fitted with low-profile tyres* as
standard equipment. Low-profile tyres have a
lower sidewall and provide a wider tread surface
and rim diameter than other wheel/tyre combi
nations. This makes the car's handling more
agile. However, the ride may be less comfortable
on poor-quality roads and tracks, and rolling
noise may be louder.
258 Low-profile
tyres can be damaged more quickly
than standard tyres, for example by heavy jolts,
potholes, manhole covers, speed humps and
kerbs. It is therefore particularly important to
ensure that they are inflated to the correct pres
sure c:>page 256.
Drive with particular care on poor-quality roads
to ensure that you do not damage the rims and
tyres.
Make sure to check your wheels regularly (every
3,000 km) for damage such as blisters/tears on
the tyre sidewalls or deformations/cracks on the
rims.
After a heavy jolt, or if any damage occurs, you
should have the rims and tyres checked and if
necessary replaced by a qualified workshop.
Tyre wear occurs more quickly on low-profile
tyres than on standard tyres.
Summer tyres are not suitable for cold condi
tions, snow or ice. Use winter or all-season tyres
when driving in these conditions c:::> page 257.
Tyre pressure Loss
indicator
Tyre pressure loss indicator in instrument
cluster
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator
The tyre pressure Loss indicator in the instrument
cluster informs the driver if the tyre pressure is
too Low or a system malfunction has occurred.
The tyre pressure loss indicator makes use of the
ABS sensors to compare the rolling circumfer
ence and the vibration of the tyres. If changes in
the inflation pressure are detected on one or
more tyres, the driver is alerted by an indicator
lamp [tE and a message on the infotainment dis
play. If only one tyre is affected, the display will
indicate its position.
Each time you change a tyre, change the wheels
round or change the tyre pressures on your vehi
cle (e.g. when switching from partial load to full
load and vice-versa), you must store the new tyre
pressures on the infotainment system
c:::> page 259. Monitoring of the tyre pressures is

A WARNING
Please observe the important safety informa
tion and notes <=> page 260.
Possible malfunctions
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system
If the tyre pressure monitoring system is inoper
ative, the indicator lamp mm will appear in the
instrument cluster display together with the
message Tyre pressure: fault. See owner's man
ual.
If the indicator lamp mm appears after you have
switched on the ignition or while you are driving
and the indicator lamp[I] flashes for approxi
mately one minute and then remains lit, there is
a fault in the system. This fault can have the fol
lowing causes:
- If the display appears at the end of the initiali
sation process, this means that the system can
not detect the wheel sensors required to moni
tor the pressures. This can happen if one or
more of the tyres fitted does not have a sensor
or the sensors are incompatible.
- One of the wheel sensors or another compo
nent may not be working.
- Snow chains interfere with the signals trans
mitted by the sensors and can prevent the sys
tem from functioning properly.
- The tyre pressure monitoring system may be in
operative due to radio interference.
- Radio systems operating on the same frequen
cy, such as radio headphones or two-way radios
inside the vehicle, produce strong electromag
netic fields which cause temporary interfer
ence.
The indicator lamp mm and the message will
disappear as soon as the tyre pressure monitor
ing system is available again. If the fault persists
and the indicator lamp mm stays on, you should
drive to a qualified workshop and have the fault
rectified.
