Airbag syste m
Make sure that the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF
11;; li ght comes on and stays on all t he
t ime whenever the ignition is switched on.
A WARNING
-
- If the PA SSEN GER AIR BAG OFF 11;; light
does not go out when an adult is si tting on
the front passe nger seat a fter ta king the
steps described above, make sure the adult is p roperly seated and restrained at one of
the rear seating positions.
- Have the airbag system inspected by your
Audi dealer befo re t ransporting anyone on
the front passenger seat.
@ Tips
If the capacitive passenger detection system
determines that the front passenger seat is
empty, the frontal airbag on the passenge r
side w ill be tu rned off, and the
PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF
11;; light will stay on.
Repair , care and disposal of the airbags
Parts of the a irbag system are installed at many
different places on your Audi. Installing, remov ing, servic ing or repa iring a part in an area of the
ve hicle can damage a part of an airbag system
and prevent that system from working properly
i n a collision .
There are some important things you have to
know to make sure that the effectiveness of the
system w ill not be impaired and that discarded
components do not cause injury or pollute the
env ironment.
A WARNING
Improper care, serv icing and repai r proce
dures can increase the r is k of personal injury
and death by preventing an airbag from de
ploying when needed or dep loying an airbag
unexpectedly:
-
- Never cover, obstruct, or change the stee r
ing wheel horn pad or airbag cover or the in
strument pane l or modify them in any way.
212
- Never attach any objects s uch as c up ho lders
or telephone mountings to the surfaces cov
ering the a irbag un its.
- For cleaning the horn pad or instrument
panel, use only a soft, dry cloth or one mois
tened w ith plain water. Solvents or cleaners
could damage the airbag cover or change
the st iffness or strength of the material so
that the airbag canno t deploy and p rotect
properly.
- Never repair, adjust , or change any parts of
the airbag system.
- All work on the steering wheel, inst rument
panel, front seats or e lectr ica l system ( in
cluding the installation of a udio eq uipment,
cellular telephones and C B radios, etc.)
m ust be perfo rmed by a qualified techn ician
who has the training and specia l equipment
necessary.
- For any work on the airbag system, we strong ly recommend that you see your au
thorized A udi dealer or qualified workshop.
- Never modify the front b umper or parts of
the vehicle body.
- Always make sure that the side a irbag can
inflate w ithout interference:
- Never install seat covers or replacement
upholstery over the front seatbacks that
have not been specifically approved by
A udi.
- Never use additional seat c ushions that
cover the areas where the side airbags in
flate.
- Damage to the orig inal seat cove rs or to
the seam in the area of the s ide airbag
module mus t alway s be repaired immedi
ate ly by an autho riz ed Au di dealer.
- The a irbag system can deploy on ly once. Af
ter an airbag h as been deployed, i t m ust be
repla ced with new replacement parts de
signed and approved espec ia lly for your
Audi model version . Replacement of com
plete airbag systems or airbag components
must be perfo rmed by qua lified workshops
only. Make su re that any airbag service ac
tion is entered in your A udi Warranty

Emergency assistance
Using the tire mobility kit
Applies to: vehicles with tire mobility kit
Fig. 201 Tire: tire damag e that cann ot be rep air ed
The tire repair is only meant for temporary use .
Change the spare tire as soon as possible~
fr..
If the ti re is pie rced by an object such as a nail,
do not remove the objec t from the tire .
The tire repair set is able to be used at tempera
tures as low as -4 °F ( -20 °C).
The tire mobility kit may not be used:
-If the tire has cuts or punctures that are larger
than 0.16 in (4 mm) @~
fig. 201 .
-If the rim is damaged@.
- if you drove with very low tire pressure or w ith-
out air in the tire@.
See an author ized Aud i dealer or authori zed Aud i
Service Facility for assistance in these s ituations .
A WARNING
-Please note that the tire mob ility kit cannot
be used in a ll situations, and that it may on
ly be used temporarily.
- The tire sealant must not come in contact
with sk in, eyes, or clothes.
- If tire sealant gets in your eyes or on your
sk in, thoroughly r inse the affected area im
med iately w ith clean water.
- Do not inhale the fumes .
- If you swallow any of the t i re sealant, thor -
oughly rinse your mouth immediately and
dr ink a lot of water . Do not induce vomiting.
Seek medical attention immediately.
- Change your clothes immed iately if they get
tire sealant on them.
282
-If an allergic reaction occurs, seek immedi·
ate med ical attent ion.
- Keep the tire sealant away from children.
(1} Tips
- If sea lant leaks, allow it to dry in place. You
can then peel it off like a sticker.
- Note the expiration date on the sealant bot
tle. Replace the ti re sealant at an author
ized Audi dea ler or authorized Audi Service
Facility.
- Radio reception can be interr upted when
operating the compressor*.
- Obey all laws.

Emergency situations
Emergency situations
General
This chapter is intended for trained emergency crews and working personnel who have the nec
essary tools and equipment to perform these
operations.
Starting by pushing or
towing
CD Note
Vehicles with an automatic transmission can
not be started by pushing or towing.
Starting with jumper
cables
If necessary, the engine con be started by con
necting it to the battery of another vehicle .
If the engine should fail to start because of a dis
charged or weak battery, the battery can be con
nected to the battery of
another vehicle, using a
pair of jumper cables to start the engine.
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of sufficiently large cross
section
to carry the starter current safely. Refer
to the manufacturer's specifications.
Use only jumper cables with
insulated terminal
clamps which are distinctly marked :
plus(+) cable in most cases colored red
minus(-) cable
in most cases colored black .
A WARNING
Batteries contain electricity, acid, and gas.
Any of these can cause very serious or fatal in
jury. Follow the instructions below for safe hand Ling of your vehicle's battery .
-Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning
over the battery whenever possible.
-A discharged battery can freeze at tempera
tures just below 32 °F (0 °C). Before con
necting a jumper cable, you must thaw the
292
frozen battery completely, otherwise it could explode .
- Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes or
skin. Flush any contacted area with water immediately.
- Improper use of a booster battery to start a
vehicle may cause an explosion.
- Vehicle batteries generate explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flame and lighted cigarettes
away from batteries.
- Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a
low acid level in the battery .
- The voltage of the booster battery must also
have a 12-volt rating. The capacity (Ah) of
the booster battery should not be lower
than that of the discharged battery. Use of
batteries of different voltage or substantial
ly different "Ah" rating may cause an explo
sion and personal injury .
- Never charge a frozen battery. Gas trapped in the ice may cause an explosion .
- Never charge or use a battery that has been
frozen . The battery case may have be weak
ened .
- Use of batteries of different voltage or sub stantially different capacity (Ah) rating may
cause an explosion and injury. The capacity
(Ah) of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS
~page 244.
CD Note
-Applying a higher voltage booster battery
will cause expensive damage to sensitive
electronic components, such as control
units, relays, radio, etc.
- There must be no electrical contact between
the vehicles as otherwise current could al
ready start to flow as soon as the positive
(+) terminals are connected.
@ Tips
The discharged battery must be properly con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system. .,..

Consumer inf orm ation
Attempting to work on electronic components
and the software used with them can cause mal
functions. Because of the way e lectronic compo
nents are interconnected with each other, such
malfunct ions can also have an adverse affect on
other systems that are not directly involved. This
means that you risk both a substantial reduction
in the operationa l safety of your veh icle and an
i n creased wea r of ve hicle parts~ ,&..
Author ized Audi dealers w ill perform this work in
a profess io nal and competent manner or, in spe
cial cases, refer you to a p rofessional company
that spec ial izes in such modifications.
_8. WARNING
Improper repairs and modifica tions can
change the way vehicle system s work and
cause damage to the vehicle and serious per
sonal injury.
