Airbag syste m
Other things that can affect Advanced
Airbag performance
Changing the vehicle's suspension system can
change the way that the Advanced Airbag System
performs in a crash. For example, using tire-rim
combinations not approved by Audi, lowering the
vehicle, changing the stiffness of the suspension, including the springs, suspension struts, shock
absorbers etc . can change the forces that are
measured by the airbag sensors and sent to the
electronic cont rol u nit. Some suspension c hanges
can, for example, increase the fo rce leve ls meas
u red by the sensors and make t he a irbag system
deploy in crashes in which it wou ld not deploy if
the changes had not been made. Other kinds of
changes may reduce the force levels measured by
the sensors and prevent the a irbag from deploy
ing when it should.
A WARNING
-
Changing the vehicle's suspension including use of unapproved tire-rim combinations can
change Advanced Airbag perfo rmance and in
crease the risk of serious personal injury in a
crash.
- Never install suspension components that
do not have the same performance charac
ter istics as the components o riginally instal
led on your vehicle .
-Never use tire-rim combin ations that have
not been approved by Audi .
