heed all of the WARNINGS.
A WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury when an a irbag in­
flates, always wear safety belts properly.
- If you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sit­ ting s ideways or out of position in any way,
your risk of injury is much h igher.
- You will also receive serious injur ies and
cou ld even be killed if you are up aga inst the
airbag or too close to it when it inflates -
even with an Advanced Airbag
r::;, page 148 .
A WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing chi ld seat insta l­
led on the front passenger seat will be ser i­
ously inju red and can be ki lled if the front air­
bag inflates - even with an Advanced Airbag
System.
- Although the Advanced A irbag System in
yo ur vehicle is designed to t urn off the front
airbag when a rearward -facing child re ­
straint has been insta lled on the front pas­
senger seat, nobody can absolutely g uaran­
tee that deployment is impossible in a ll con­
ceivable s ituations that may happen during
the useful life of you r vehicle.
- The inflating a irbag w ill hit the child seat or
infant carrier w ith great force and will
smash the ch ild seat and child against the
backrest, ce nter armrest , door, or roof.
- Always install rearward-fac ing child re­
straints on the rear seat.
- If you must install a rearward facing ch ild
seat on the front passenger seat because of
exceptiona l circumstances and the
PASSEN­
GER AIR BAG OFF
light does not come on
and stay on, immediately insta ll the rear­
f acing child seat in a re ar seat ing position
and have the airbag system inspected by
yo ur Audi dealer .
Airbag sys tem
A WARNING
If, in exceptional c ircumstances, you must in­
stall a forward-facing child restraint on the
front passenger's seat:
- Always make sure the forward-facing seat
has bee n des igned and certified by its man­
ufacture r for use on a fro nt seat with a pas­
senger front and side airbag.
- Never p ut the forward-facing child restra int
up aga inst or very nea r the instr ument pan­
el.
- Always move the front passenger seat to
the highest posit io n in the up and down ad­
justment range and move it back to the
rearmost posit ion in the seat's fo re and aft
adj ustment range, as far away from the a ir­
bag as possible, before install ing the for­
ward-facing ch ild restraint.
- Always make sure that the safety be lt upper
anchorage is behind the c hild restraint and
not next to or in front of the child restraint
so that the safety be lt will be p roperly posi­
tioned.
-Always make sure that there is noth ing on
the front passenge r seat that will cause the
capacitive passenge r detection system in
the seat to signal to the Airbag System that
the seat is occup ied by a person when it is
not, or to signal that it is occupied by some­
one w ho is heavier than the person actually
sitt ing on the sea t. The presen ce of addi­
tional ob jects could cause the passenger
front ai rbag to be turned on when it should
be off, or cou ld cause the ai rbag to work in a
way that is d ifferent from the way it wou ld
have wo rked without the object on the seat.
- Make sure that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF
li ght comes on and stays on all the time
whenever the ignit ion is switched on.
Advanced Airbag System components
The front passenger seat in your veh icle has a lot
of very important parts of t he Advanced Airbag
System in it . These parts include the capacitive
passenge r detection system, wir ing, b rackets,
and more. The contro l unit moni to rs the system

\.J ' A WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing child seat instal­
led on the front passenger seat will be seri ­
ously injured and can be killed if the front air­
bag inflates - even with an Advanced Airbag
System .
- The inflating airbag will hit the child seat or
infant carrier with great force and will
smash the child seat and child against the backrest , center armrest, door or roof.
- Always install rear-facing child seats on the
rear seat.
- If you must install a rearward facing child
seat on the front passenger seat because of
exceptional circumstances and the
PASSEN­
GER AIR BAG OFF
light does not come on
and stay on, immediately install the rear­
facing child seat in a rear seating position and have the a irbag system inspected by
your Audi dealer.
A WARNING
Objects between you and the airbag will in­
crease the risk of injury in a crash by interfer­
ing with the way the airbag unfolds or by be­
ing pushed into you as the airbag inflates .
- Never hold things in your hands or on your
lap when the vehicle is in use .
- Never transport items on or in the area of
the front passenger seat . Objects could
move into the area of the front airbags dur­
ing braking or other sudden maneuvers and
become dangerous projectiles that can
cause serious personal injury if the airbags
inflate.
- Never place or attach accessories or other
objects (such as cup holders, telephone
brackets , large, heavy or bulky objects) on
the doors, over or near the area marked "AIRBAG" on the steering wheel, instru­
ment panel, seat backrests or between
those areas and yourself . These objects
could cause injury in a crash, especially
when the airbags inflate .
- Never recline the front passenger 's seat to
transport objects . Items can also move into
the area of the side airbag or the front air-
-
Airbag system
bag during braking or in a sudden maneu ­
ver. Objects near the airbags can become
projectiles and cause injury, particularly
when the seat is reclined.
- Never place or transport objects on the
front passenger seat. Objects on the front
passenger seat could cause the capacitive
sensor in the seat to signal to airbag system
that the seat is occupied by a person when it
in fact is not, or that the person on the seat
is heavier than he or she actually is . The
change in electric capacitance because of
such objects can cause the passenger front
airbag to be turned on when it should be
off, or can cause the airbag to work in a way
that is different from the way it would have
worked without objects on the seat.
- Always make sure that there is nothing on
the front passenger seat that will cause the
capacitive passenger detection system in
the seat to signal to the Airbag System that
the seat is occupied by a person when it is
not , or to signal that it is occupied by some­
one who is heavier than the person actually
sitting on the seat. The presence of an ob ­
ject could cause the passenger front airbag to be turned on when it should be off, or
could cause the airbag to work in a way that is different from the way it would have
worked without the object on the seat.
A WARNING
-The fine dust created when airbags deploy can
cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or other breathing condi­
tions .
- To reduce the risk of breathing problems,
those with asthma or other respiratory con­
ditions should get fresh air right away by
getting out of the vehicle or opening win­
dows or doors.
- If you are in a collision in which airbags de­
ploy, wash your hands and face with mild
soap and water before eating.
- Be careful not to get the dust into your eyes,
or into any cuts or scratches.
- If the residue should get into your eyes,
flush them with water .

The Advanced Airbag System as we ll as the side
airbags and side c urtain airbags with ejection
mitigation features (including the e lectroni c con­
trol unit, sensors and system wiring) are all
monitored continuously to make sure that they
are funct ioning prope rly whenever the ignition is

II (USA models) ; fll
(Ca nada models) will come on for a few seconds
(func tion chec k).
The system must be inspected when the
indicator light
ffl (USA models) tfll
( Canada model s):
- does not come on w hen the ignition is switched
on,
- does not go out a few seconds after you have
switched on the ign ition, or
- comes on wh ile driving .
I f an a irbag system ma lf u nction is detected, the
indicator light wi ll come o n to serve as a constant
reminder to have the system inspected immedi­
a tely.
I f a malfunc tion occurs that turns the front air­
bag on the passenger side off, the
PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF
light will come on and stay on
whenever the igni tion is on .
_& WARNING
An airbag system that is not functioning prop­
erly cannot provide supplemental protection
in a frontal crash.
- If the airbag indicato r light

The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF l ight will blink
for about 5 seconds when:
- the ignition is switched on and
- the ca pacit ive passenger detec tion system,
which switches the front seat passenger's fron ­
tal Advanced Airbag on and off, detects a
change in the status of the front passenger
seat.
As soon as the

\.J ' that the child restraint is properly installed at
one of the rear seating positions . If in exception­
al c ircumstances you must use it on the front
passenger seat, carefully read all of the informa­
tion on child safety and Advanced Airbags and heed all of the applicable WARNINGS. Make cer­
tain that the child and child restraint are correct­
ly recognized by the capacitive passenger detec­
tion system in the front passenger seat, that the
front passenger airbag is turned off, and that the
airbag status is always correctly signaled by the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light.
Many types and models of child restraints have
been available over the years, new mode ls are in­
troduced regular ly incorporat ing new and im­
proved designs and older mode ls are taken out of
production . Chi ld restraints are not standardized.
Ch ild restraints of the same type typically have
d ifferent weights and s izes and different "foot­
prints", the s ize and shape of the bottom of the
child restraint that s its on the seat, when they
are installed on a vehicle seat. These differences
make it virtually impossible to certify compliance
with the requirements fo r advanced airbags with
each and every ch ild restraint that has ever been
sold in the past o r will be sold over the course o f
the useful life of your vehicle.
Fo r this reason, the United States National High­
way Traffic Safety Administration has published a
list of specific type, makes and models of child
restraints that must be used to certify compli­
ance of the Advanced Airbag System in your vehi­
cle with the suppression requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208. These child

for approximately 10 minutes so that the sen­
sor signal from the wheels is received again.
During this adaptation phase, --.--is displayed
for the pressure and temperature and the tire
pressure monitoring system is only partially
available. It only provides a warning if one or
more t ire pressures is below the minimum per­
mitted specified pressure. If this is the case, the

Malfunctions
Appl ies to : vehicles wi th tire pressure mo nito rin g system
If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is not
avai lable, the
mm indicator light appears in the
driver information system. The
Rt] indicator light
also blinks for approximately one minutes each
time the ignition is switched on. The tire pressure
monitoring system cannot be selected in the In­
fotainment system. The following are examples
of situations that could cause a malfunction:
- If the message appears at the end of the adap­
tation phase, the system cannot detect the
wheels installed on the vehicle. This may result
from one or more wheels being installed with­ out wheel sensors or with incompatible wheel
sensors.
- A wheel sensor or another component has
failed.
- Using snow chains can affect the function of
the system because of the shield ing effect of
the cha ins.
- The tire pressure monitoring system is not
available due to a malfunction .
- Transmitters with the same frequency, such as
headphones or remote-controlled devices, may
cause a temporary system malfunction due to
the strong electromagnetic field.
The
mm indicator light turns off once the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System is available again.
If
you cannot correct the malfunction and the mm
