Airbag syste m
seating position is not proper or upright or if
items are located in the area where the supp le
mental side curtain airbag inf lates . This applies
especia lly to children
c::> page 291.
A lthough they are not a soft pi llow, side curtain
airbags can "cushion" the impact and in this way
they can help to reduce the risk of injury to the
head and the upper part of the body.
A fine dust may deve lop when the airbag deploys .
This is quite normal and does not mean there is a
f ire in the veh icle .
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 that you and your passengers must
know and do to help the safety be lts and airbags
do their job to provide supplemental protect ion.
A WARNING
Improperly wearing safety belts and improper
seating posit ions increase the risk of serious
personal inju ry and death whenever a vehicle
is being used.
- Never let occupants 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
weight cloth ing. Neve r leave any heavy or
sharp-edged objects in the pockets th at may
interfere w ith airbag deployment and can
ca use personal injury in a collision.
- Never use hangers to hang clothes on the
hoo ks.
- Only use factory-installed s un shades or, if
shades installed after the veh icle leaves the
factory, use only genuine Audi sun shades.
- Never swing the sun viso rs ove r to the side
windows if things such as pens, garage door
openers, hands-free speakers, etc. are at
tached to the sun visors. They could come
290
loose and cause serious injury if the side cu r
tain airbag inflates.
- A deploying airbag inflates in a fraction of a
second and with great force.
- Never attach objects to the cover or in the
deployment zone of a side curtain airbag .
- The airbag deployment zones must be kept clear at all times. Make s ure there are no
objects, pets, or othe r persons in the space
between any vehicle occupant and any air
bag at any time.
- Do not attach any accessories to the doors.
A WARNING
- The a irbag system can deploy on ly once. If
the airbag has been triggered, the system
m ust be replaced by an authorized A udi
deale r or qualified workshop .
- Always have work invo lv ing the side curtain
airbag system, removal and installat ion of
the airbag components, or other repairs
pe rformed by a q ualified dealership. Other
w ise the airbag system may not work cor
rectly.
- Never attempt to mod ify a ny components of
the airbag system in 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 w ith 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 .
