Airbag syste m
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 coll is ion
¢ fig . 162.
When the system is triggered, the side curtain
airbag is filled with propellant gas and breaks
through a seam above the front and rear side
windows identif ied by the AIRBAG label. In order
to help provide this additional protection, the
side curtain airbag must inflate within the blink
of an eye at very high 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 located in the area where the supp le­
mental side curtain a irbag inflates. This applies
especia lly to children
¢ page 171.
A lthough they are not a soft pillow, side curtain
airbags can "cushion" the impact and in this way
they can help to red uce the risk of inj ury to the
head and the upper part of the body.
A fine dust may develop when the airbag deploys.
This is quite no rmal and does not mean there is a
fi re 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 yo u and your passengers must
know and do to help the safety be lts and airbags
do their job to provide supp lemental protection .
A WARNING
Improperly wearing safety belts and improper
seating positions increase the risk of serious
personal injury 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 without interference.
- Use the built- in coat hooks on ly for light­
weight cloth ing. Never leave any heavy or
sharp-edged objects in the pockets that may
170
interfere with airbag deployment and can
cause persona l injury in a co llision.
- Never use hangers to hang clothes on the
hooks.
- On ly use factory-insta lled sun shades or, if
shades installed after the vehicle leaves the
factory, use on ly genu ine A udi sun shades.
- Never swing the sun visors over to the side
w indows if things such as pens, garage door
openers, hands-free speakers, etc. are at­
tached to the sun visors. They could come loose and cause serious injury if the side cur­
tain airbag inflates.
- A deploying airbag inflates in a fract ion of a
second and with great force .
- Never attach objects to the cover or in the
deployment zone of a s ide curtain airbag .
- The a irbag deployment zones must be kept
clear at all times. Make sure there are no
objects, pets, o r other 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, t he system
m ust be rep laced by an authorized A udi
dea le r o r qualified works hop.
- Always have wo rk invo lv ing the side curtain
airbag system, remova l and installat ion of
the airbag componen ts, or o ther repairs
pe rformed by a q ualified dealership. Other ­
wise the airbag system may not work cor­ rectly.
- Never attempt to mod ify any components of
the airbag system in any way .
