Airbag system
Important safety notes on the front airbag
system
There are a number of safety points concerning
the airbag system which you should remember.
This will help to reduce the risk of injury in an ac­
cident.

25cm

Fig.
231 Minimum distance from steering wheel
A WARNING
- It is important for the driver and front pas­
senger to maintain a distance of at least
25 cm from the steering wheel or dash­
board
oFig.
231. The airbag system will not
be able to give the required protection if you
sit too close to the steering wheel or dash­

board.
There is also a risk of injury if the air-
bags are inflated. The front seats and head
restraints must always be positioned cor­
rectly for the height of the occupant.
- If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean
forward or to the side, or are not seated cor­
rectly while the vehicle is in motion, you are
at greater risk of injury. Should the airbag
system be triggered in an accident there is
an even greater risk of injury.
- Never let a child travel on the front seat
without an appropriate restraint system. If
the airbag is triggered in an accident, the
child could sustain serious or fatal injuries

^>page
267, Child seats.
- Child seats in which the child faces the rear
of the car are located directly in the path of
the front passenger's airbag if it inflates. In
this case, the child could sustain serious or
fatal injuries if the airbag were to be de­

ployed.

- Applies to vehicles on which the front pas­
senger's airbag cannot be deactivated: Do
NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat.
- Applies to vehicles with key-operated
switch for deactivating the front passeng­
er's airbag: Do NOT use a rearward-facing
child seat on the front passenger's seat
while the front passenger's airbag is ac­

tive.
If you have no alternative but to use a
rearward-facing child seat on the front
passenger's seat, the front passenger's
airbag must be deactivated beforehand via
the key-operated switch*
^>page
288.
Make sure that the front passenger's air-
bag is reactivated by means of the key-op­
erated switch* as soon as the child seat is
no longer needed on the front passenger's
seat.
- Occupants sitting in the front of the car
must never carry any objects or pets in the
space between them and the airbags, or al­
low children or other passengers to travel in
this position.
- Do not cover or stick anything on the steer­
ing wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of
the airbag unit on the passenger's side of
the dashboard, and do not obstruct or modi­
fy them in any way. These parts should only
be cleaned with a dry cloth (or with a cloth
moistened with plain water). It is also im­
portant not to attach any objects such as
cup holders or telephone mountings to the
surfaces covering the airbag units.
- Any work on the airbag system or removal
and installation of the airbag components
for other repairs (such as repairs to the
steering wheel or removal of seats) must be
performed by a qualified workshop.

- Keep sparks, flame and lit cigarettes away
from vehicle batteries: the gases given off
can cause an explosion.
- Do not attach the negative cable to parts of
the fuel system or to the brake pipes.
© CAUTION
- The vehicles must not touch each other,
otherwise electricity could flow as soon as
the positive terminals are connected and
the boosting battery could be discharged.
- If the jump leads are not connected correct­
ly this can result in serious damage to the
electrical system of the vehicle.
- The discharged vehicle battery must be
properly connected to the vehicle's electri­
cal system.
- Please note that the method described
be­

low for connecting the leads is intended for
jump-starting your vehicle. If jump-starting
another vehicle, you should not connect the
negative lead (-) to the negative terminal of
the discharged battery, but directly to the
engine block or
a
solid metal part bolted to
the engine block. If the battery of the other
vehicle does not have a gas vent, there is a
risk that
a
mixture of oxygen and hydrogen
gas can accumulate and cause an explosion.
© Note
Switch off the car telephone if necessary. De­
tails will be given in the manufacturer's in­
structions for the car telephone.
Starting the engine

The two
jump leads must be connected in the
correct
sequence.

Accessories
and
modifi­
cations
to the
vehicle
Accessories,
replacement parts
and

repairs
Always
ask
your dealer
or
specialist retailer
for

advice before purchasing accessories
and
re­
placement parts.
Your
car is
designed
to
offer
a
high standard
of

active and passive safety. For this reason,
we
rec­
ommend that you ask your Audi dealer
for
advice
before fitting accessories
or
replacement parts.
Audi dealers have
the
latest information from
the manufacturer and
can
recommend accesso­
ries and replacement parts which
are
suitable
for

your requirements. They can also answer
any

questions you might have regarding official
regu­

lations.
We recommend you
to
use only Audi accessories
and Audi Genuine Parts. Audi has tested these
products
for
suitability, reliability and safety.
Audi dealers have
the
necessary experience
and

facilities
to
ensure that
the
parts
are
installed
properly.
Although
the
market
is
constantly scrutinised,
Audi
cannot
judge
or
assume responsibility
for

the reliability, safety and suitability
of
non-genu­
ine products
-
even though
in
some instances,
these parts
may
have been approved
by
an
offi­

cially recognised technical testing authority
or

accompanied
by
an official approval certificate.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a direct
ef­

fect on
the
vehicle and/or
the
way
it is
driven

(e.g.
cruise control system
or
electronically-con­
trolled suspension) must
be
approved
for
use
in

your vehicle and bear
the e
mark
(the
European
Union's approval symbol).
If any additional electrical components are fit­
ted which
do not
serve
to
controL
the
vehicLe
it­

self
(for
instance a refrigerator box, laptop
or

ventilator
fan,
etc.), these must bear the C€ mark
(manufacturer conformity declaration
in the Eu­

ropean Union).

A,
WARNING

Never attach accessories (such
as cup
holders
or telephone brackets)
to the
surfaces cover­
ing
the
airbag units
or the
areas around
the

airbags: this could cause injury
if
the airbag
is

triggered.

Modifications
Modifications must always
be
carried
out
accord­
ing
to our
specifications.
Unauthorised modifications
to the
electronic
components, software, wiring
or
data transfer
in

the vehicLe may cause malfunctioning. Due
to the

way
the
electronic components
are
linked togeth­
er
in
networks, other systems
may be
affected
by

the faults. This can seriously impair safety, lead
to excessive wear
of
components,
and
also inva­
lidate
the
type approval
for
your vehicle.
You will appreciate that your Audi dealer cannot
be held liable
for
any damage caused
by
modifi­
cations and/or work performed incorrectly.
We recommend that
all
work should
be
per­
formed
by
an Audi workshop using Audi Genuine

Parts.

/K
WARNING

- Incorrectly performed modifications
or
oth­

er work
on
your vehicLe can lead
to
malfunc­
tions and cause accidents.
-
Do not
use an additional
or
replacement
number plate holder other than
the
original
one fitted
at the
front
of
the vehicle.
Radio transmitters
and

business equipment
Transmitters
An external aerial
is
required
in
order
to
operate
radio equipment inside
the
vehicle. The maxi­
mum range
of
the equipment can only
be
ach­

ieved with
an
external aerial.
Retrofit installations
of
radio transmitters
in the

vehicle
are
subject
to
official approval and can
af­

fect
the
type approval
for
your vehicle.

extreme cases this could mean
that
you lose the
type approval
for
your vehicle.
Qualified workshops will be able to inform you
about options for installing and operating radio
transmitters.
Business equipment
Retrofit installation of business or other equip­
ment in the vehicle is permitted, provided the
equipment cannot interfere with the driver's im­
mediate controL of the vehicle. Any such equip­
ment must carry the
CC
mark. Any retrofit equip­
ment that could influence the driver's control of
the vehicLe must have a type approval for road
vehicles and must carry the e mark.
A WARNING
- Loose or incorrectly secured radio equip­
ment could be catapulted through the
vehi­

cle during sudden driving/braking manoeu­
vres or in the event of an accident. This
poses a risk of injury to occupants.
- Always ensure that radio equipment is prop­
erly secured outside the deployment area of
the airbags or stowed safely while the
vehi­

cle is moving.
- Mobile telephones or radio equipment
which are operated inside the vehicle
with­

out
a
correctly installed external aerial can
create excessive magnetic fields that could
cause a health hazard.
© CAUTION
If
you
use radio equipment in the car without
an external aerial, the electromagnetic radia­
tion in the vehicle could exceed the recom­
mended limits. This also applies to external
aerials which have not been correctLy instal­

led.

- Do not operate radio equipment in the
vehi­

cle unless an external aerial is properly
con­

nected.

Please observe the relevant regulations and
follow the instructions in the operating
man­

ual for the radio equipment.
