" N .... 0 0 \,;J ' The side curtain airbags inflate between the oc­
cupant and the windows on the side of the vehi ­
cle that is struck in a side collis ion
¢ fig . 160.
When the system is tr iggered, t he side curta in
ai rbag is filled with propellant gas and breaks
through a seam above the front and rear side
windows identif ied by the AIRBAG labe l. In order
to help provide this addit ional protection, the
side curtain airbag must inflate within the blink
of an eye at very h igh speed and with great force .
The s ide curta in a irbag could injure you if your
seating position is not proper or upright or if
items are loca ted in the a rea whe re t he supp le­
mental side curta in air bag inflates . T his applies
espec ia lly to children
¢ page 166 .
Although they a re not a soft p illow, side curtain
a ir bags can "cushion " the impact and in this way
they can help to red uce the risk of inj ury to the
h ead and t he upper part of t he body .
A fi ne dust may deve lop when the airbag deploys .
This is quite normal and does not mean there is a
fi re in t he ve hicl e.
Important safety instructions on the side
curtain airbag system
Airbags are only supplemental restraints . Always
properly wear safety belts and ride in a proper
seating position .
There is a lot th at yo u and your passengers m ust
know and do to he lp the safety be lts and airbags
do their job to provide supp lemental protection .
A WARNING
Improperly wearing safety belts and improper
seating posit ions increase the risk of serious
personal injury and death whenever a vehicle
is being used .
- Never let occ upants p lace any parts of the ir
bodies in the area from which the side cur­
ta in a irbag inflate .
- Always make sure that the side curtain air­
bags can inflate witho ut interference .
- Use the built- in coat hooks on ly for light­
we ight cloth ing. Never leave any heavy or
sharp-edged objects in the pockets that may
Airbag syste m
inter fere with a irbag deployment and can
cause persona l injury in a co llision.
- Never use hangers to hang clot hes on t he
hooks.
- On ly use factory-insta lled sun shades or, if
shades installed after the vehicle leaves the
factory, use on ly gen uine A udi su n shades.
- Never swing the su n visors over to the side
windows if things s uch as pens, garage door
openers, hands-free speakers, etc. are at­
tached to the sun v isors. They could come
loose and cause ser ious injury if the s ide c ur­
tain airbag inflates .
- A dep loying airbag inflates in a fract ion of a
second and w ith great force .
- Never attach ob jects to the cover or i n the
deployment zone of a s ide curtain airbag .
- The a irbag deployment zones must be kept
clear at all t imes . Make s ure there are no
objects, pets, o r other persons in the space
between any vehicle occupant and any air­
bag at any t ime .
- Do not attac h any accessories to the doors .
A WARNING
-
-The a irbag sys tem can dep loy o nly once . If
the airbag has been trigge red, the system
mu st be rep laced by an au thor ized A udi
de aler or q ualified wo rks hop .
- Always have wo rk invo lv ing t he side curtai n
air bag sy stem, remova l an d installa tion of
t he airbag componen ts, or o ther repairs
performed by a q ualified dea lership . Other ­
wise the airbag system may not work cor ­
rectly.
- Neve r attempt to modify any components of
the airbag system i n any way .

Consum er Info rmation
Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when tech­
nical modifications are made .
Always consult an authorized Audi dealer before
starting work on any modificat ions.
This will he lp ensure that vehicle function, per ­
formance and safety are not impaired
c> &. .
Attempting to work on e lectronic components
and the software used with them can cause mal­
functions. Because of the way electronic compo ­
nents are interconnected with each other, such
malfunct ions can also have an adverse effect on
other systems that are not directly involved. This
means that you risk both a substantial reduction
in the operational safety of your veh icle and an
i n creased wea r of ve hicle parts
c> ,&. .
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 ializes in such modificat ions.
.&_ WARNING
Improper repa irs and modificat ions can
c hange the way veh icle systems work and
c ause damage to the veh icle and ser ious per ­
sonal injury.
(UJ) Note
I f emergency rep air s mus t be pe rformed else ­
where, have the vehicle ex am ined by an a u­
thorized A udi dealer as soon as possib le .
