Repair, care and disposal of the airbags
Parts of the airbag system are installed at many
different places on your Audi. Installing, remov­
ing, servicing or repairing a part in an area of the
vehicle can damage a part of an airbag system
and prevent that system from working properly in a collision .
There are some important things you have to
know to make sure that the effectiveness of the
system will not be impaired and that discarded
components do not cause injury or pollute the
environment.
A WARNING
Improper care, servicing and repair proce­
dures can increase the risk of personal injury
and death by preventing an airbag from de­
ploying when needed or deploying an airbag
unexpectedly:
- Never cover, obstruct, or change the steer­
ing wheel horn pad or airbag cover or the in­
strument panel or modify them in any way.
- Never attach any objects such as cup holders
or telephone mountings to the surfaces cov­
ering the airbag units.
Airbag system
-For cleaning the horn pad or instrument
panel, use only a soft, dry cloth or one mois­
tened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners
could damage the airbag cover or change
the stiffness or strength of the material so
that the airbag cannot deploy and protect properly.
- Never repair, adjust, or change any parts of
the airbag system.
-All work on the steering wheel, instrument panel, front seats or electrical system (in­
cluding the installation of audio equipment,
cellular telephones and CB radios, etc.) must be performed by a qualified technician
who has the training and special equipment
necessary.
- For any work on the airbag system, we
strongly recommend that you see your au­
thorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
- Never modify the front bumper or parts of
the vehicle body.
- Always make sure that the side airbag can
inflate without interference:
- Never install seat covers or replacement
upholstery over the front seatbacks that
have not been specifically approved by
Audi.
- Never use additional seat cushions that
cover the areas where the side airbags in­
flate.
- Damage to the original seat covers or to
the seam in the area of the side airbag
module must always be repaired immedi­
ately by an authorized Audi dealer.
- The airbag system can be activated only
once. After an airbag has inflated, it must
be replaced by an authorized Audi dealer or
qualified technician who has the technical
information, training and special equipment
necessary.
- The airbag system can be deployed only
once. After an airbag has been deployed, it
must be replaced with new replacement
parts designed and approved especially for
your Audi model version. Replacement of complete airbag systems or airbag compo­nents must be performed by qualified work-
shops only. Make sure that any airbag

A WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, make sure
that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light
comes on and stays on whenever a child re­
straint is installed on the front passenger seat
and the ignition is switched on.
Child safety
- Take the child restraint off the front passen­
ger seat and install it properly at one of the
rear seat positions if the
PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF
light does not stay on.
- Have the airbag system inspected by your
authorized Audi dealer immed iately.
(D Tips
The child seats listed in categor ies A to C have
been statically tested by Audi only for the Ad­
vanced Airbag function.
Important safety instructions for using
child safety seats
Correct use of child safety seats substantially re­
duces the risk of injury in an accident!
As the driver, you are responsible for the safety
of everybody in the vehicle, especially children:
.,. Always use the right child safety seat for each
child and always use it properly ¢
page 254 .
.,. Always carefully follow the chi ld safety seat
manufacturer's instructions on how to route
the safety belt properly through the child safe­ ty seat .
.,. When using the vehicle safety belt to install a
child safety seat, you must first activate the
convertible locking r etractor on the safety belt
to prevent the chi ld safety seat from moving
~page 258.
.,. Push the chi ld safety seat down with yo ur full
weight to get the safety belt really tight so that the seat cannot move forward or sideways more than one inch (2.5 cm).
.,. If a strap or tether is being used to tie the child
safety seat to the front passenger seat, make
sure that it is not so tight that it causes the
weight-sensing mat to measu re more weight
than is actually on the seat.
.,. Secure unused safety belts on the rear seat
~page 253.
Always remember: Even though your veh icle is
equipped with an Advanced Airbag system, all
children, especia lly those 12 years and younger,
shou ld a lways ride in the back seat proper ly re-
strained for their age and s ize.

~ Check and correc t the seating of the snow
chains after driving a few feet , if necessary . Fo l­
l ow the instructions from the manufacturer .
~ Note the maximum speed of 30 mph (SO km/
h). Note the loca l regulat ions.
Use of snow chains is on ly pe rmitted with certain
rim/tire combinations due to technical reasons.
Check w ith an authori zed Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Service Fac ility to see if you may use
snow chains .
You must remove the snow chains on roads with­
out snow. Otherw ise, you could impair dr iving
ab ility and damage the tires.
_8 WARNING
Using incorrect snow chains o r insta lling snow
chains incorrectly can result in loss of vehicle
cont rol, which inc reases the risk of an acc i­
dent.
(D Note
- Snow cha ins can damage the rims/wheel
covers* if the cha ins come into d irect con·
tact with t hem . Remove the whee l cove rs*
f irst. Use coate d snow chai ns.
- Using snow cha ins tha t add more than 0.4
i nch (10.5 mm) of he igh t ca n seve rely dam­
age the wheel ho usings and other vehicle
componen ts .
- Do no t install and use s now chai ns if there is
a mal funct ion in the adaptive air suspe n­
s ion, because the vehicle heigh t will be very
l ow . If you drive with snow chains anyway,
the wheel ho usings and other vehicle com­
ponents can be severely damaged.
@ Tips
When using snow chains, it may be useful to

Low aspect ratio tires
Your Aud i is factory-equipped with low aspect ra-
o tio tires. These t ires have been thorough ly tested co
~ and been selected specifically for your model for ,.....
~ their supe rb performance, road feel and handli ng 0 0 :c ' Wh eel s
under a var iety o f dr iv ing condit ions . Ask your au ­
thorized Audi dea le r for more detai ls.
T he low aspect rat io of t hese tires is indicated by
a nu meral o f
55 or less in the tire's si ze des igna­
tion . The n umera l represents the ratio of the
tire's sidewa ll height in relation to its tread width
expressed in percentage . Conve ntiona l tires have
a height/width ratio of 60 or more .
The performance of low-aspect- ratio tires is par­
ti cula rly sen siti ve to imprope r inflation p res­
sure. It is the refore important that low aspect
rat io tires are inflated to the specified pressure
and that the inflation pressure is regularly
checked and maintained . Tire pressures should
be checked at lea st once a month and always
before a long trip
¢ page 293 .
What you can do to avo id tire and rim
damage
Low aspect ratio tires can be damaged more eas i­
ly by impact w ith potho les, curbs, gullies or
ridges on the road, particularly if the tire is un­
der inflated .
In order to m in imize the occurrence of impact
damage to t he tires of yo ur vehicle , we recom­
me nd tha t you observe the following preca u­
tio ns:
- Always maintain recommended inflat ion pres­
sures. Check you r ti re pressu re every 2,000
m iles (3,000 km) a nd add air if necessary.
- Dr ive carefully on roads w it h potholes, deep
gullies o r ridges. The impact from dr iving
t hrough or over such obst acles can damage
your tires. Impac t with a cur b may also ca use
damage to your tires.
- After a ny impac t, im med iate ly inspect yo ur
t ires or have them inspe cted by the neares t au­
t horized A udi dealer. Replace a damaged tire as
soon as possible.
- I nspect your tires every 2,000 m iles (3,000 km)
for damage and wear. Damage is not a lways
easy to see. Damage can lead to loss of air and
underinflation, wh ich could event ually cause
tire fa ilure . If you believe that a tire may have
been damaged, replace the tire as soon as pos­
sible .
- These tires may wear more quickly than others . .,.
