--------------------------SAFETY FIRST
Although
these examples are based on a
frontal collision, safety belts can also sub­
stantially reduce the risk of injury in other
types of accidents. So, whether you are on
a long trip or just going to the corner store,
always buckle up and make sure others do,
too.
Accident statistics show that vehicle occu­
pants properly wearing safety belts have a
lower risk of being injured and a much bet­
ter chance of surviving an accident. Prop­
erly using safety belts also greatly increases
the ability of the suppleme ntal airbags to do
their job in an accident. For this reason,
wearing a safety belt is legally required in
most countries including much of the
United States and Canada.
The following pages provide important in­
structions to enable you to use safety belts
properly. Be aura to read and follow
the instructions carefully. Heed all
WA RNINGS. To
further increase the safety for the front
passengers, the vehicle is equipped with a
supplemen tal airbag system. See page 25.
The safety belts provided must neverthe­
less be worn because the front airbags are
activated only in some frontal collisions. The
front airbags are not activated by minor fron­
tal collisions, side and rear collisions, in roll
overs or in some cases where there is not
enough deceleration through impact to the
front of the vehicle.
I B1H-124 I
Belt warning system
Yo ur vehicle has a warn ing light for the driv-
er to remind you to wear the safety belt
After the ignition is switched on, the warn­
ing light in the instrument cluster will come
on for about 6 seconds along with a warning
tone. As soon as the driver has fastened the
safety belt the warning tone will stop. The
warning light, however, will stay on for '
about 6 seconds.
Fasten your safety be.lt now and
make sure that your passengers also
properly put on their safety belts.

---------------------------------------------------SAFETY RRST
Airbag system
Your vehicle has two front and four
side airbags, one front and one side air­
bag for each front seat occupant, one side
airbag" for each rear seat occupant sitting
on the left and right rear seat.
In addition, your vehicle is equipped with
head airbags* on the left and right sides to
protect occupants seated next to the front
and rear doors. System
components
The airbag system consists of the following:
• electronic control module,
• an inflatable airbag with gas generator in­
side the steering wheel,
• an inflatable airbag with gas generator in­
side the instrument panel tor the front pas­
senger,
• supplemental side airbags in the back­
rest padding of the front and rear seats*,
• an inflatable curtain head airbag above
the doors on each side,
• an AIRB AG indicator light in the
instrument cluster ( see "Warning I Indica­
tor lights" page 125).
The indicator light in the instrument cluster
(readiness light) will light up for a few sec­
onds each time the ignition is switched on.
The light monitors the electronic control
module, sensor circuits, and system wiring. The
system must be inspected
if the indicator light:
• does not come on when the ignition is
switched on,
• does not go out after a few seconds after
the ignition is switched on, or
• comes on while driving.
In the event of a system malfunction, the in­
dicator light will stay on continuously to
serve as a constant reminder to have the
system repaired.
�W ARNING
If any of these conditions occur,
have the alrbag system inspected
immediately by your Audi Dealer.
Otherwise, the airbags in your ve­
hicle may not work properly in
case of a frontal collision or a side
impact.

SA
FETY FIRST
Front airbag
The airbag for the driver is located in the
steering wheel hub and is marked "AIR­
BAG." See illustration above.
The airbag for the front passenger's seat is
located in the instrument panel above the
glove compartment and is also marked with
"AIRBAG." See right illustration.
26 It
is very important to remember that front
airbags only supplement the three point
safety belts in some frontal accidents in
which the vehicle deceleration is high
enough to activate the airbags.
Front airbags are not activated ...
• if the ignition is switched off
• in side collisions
• in rear-end collisions
• in roiJovers Front
airbags may not inflate in certain fron­
tal collisions. Vehicle damage, repair costs
or even the lack of vehicle damage is not
necessarily an indication of proper airbag
operation.
The front airbags can only provide additional
protection for the chest and face of the
driver and the front seat passenger when ...
• safety belts are worn properly,
• the seats have been positioned so that
the occupant is properly seated as far as
possible from the airbag
• and the head restraints have been prop­
erly adjusted.
Airbags do not protect the lower part of the
body.
Safety belts are important to help keep front
seat occupants in the proper seated posi­
tion so that airbags can unfold properly and
provide added protection as intended.
For more details see next pages.

-----------------------------------------------------SAFETYRRST
The supplemental side airbags inflate only
in severe side collisions occuring on
the impact side of the vehicle.
The supplemental side airbags will
not inflate ...
• if the ignition is switched off
• in frontal collisions
• in side collisions in which vehicle
deceleration is not high enough
• in rear collisions
• in rollovers.
Under some accident conditions, both front
and side airbags may inflate.
Remember too, airbags will deploy only
once and only in certain kinds of accidents
- your safety belts are always there to offer
protection in those accidents in which air­
bags are not supposed to deploy or when
they have already deployed. A
side airbag is not a substitute for the
safety belt. It is part of the overall vehicle
safety system. The airbag system works
most effectively when used with the safety
belts. Therefore, always wear your safety
belts. See pages 14 to 24.
It is important to remember that while the
supplemental side airbag system is de­
signed to reduce the likelihood of serious in·
juries, it can cause swelling, bruising, and
minor abrasions.
How the supplemental side airbag
system works
In a side collision the supplemental side air­
bags can help to reduce the risk of injury to
the upper part of the body on the side of the
car that is struck in a side collision.
In order to assure this additional protection,
the side airbag must inflate within the blink
of an eye during a collision. It
is )'lOt possible to define an airbag trigger­
ing range that will cover every possible
angle of impact, since the circumstances
will vary considerably between one acci­
dent and another.
Important factors include, for example, the
nature ( hard or soft ) of the object which the
car hits, the angle of impact, vehicle speed,
and etc.
The triggering of the airbag system de­
pends on the vehicle deceleration rate
caused by the collision and registered by
the control unit. If this rate is below the ref­
erence value programmed into the control
unit, the. airbags will not be triggered, even
though the car may be badly damaged as a
result of the accident.
35

Head airbags (SIDEGUARD)
The head airbags (inflatable curtain head
airbags) are located on the left and right
sides above the doors underne ath the head­
lin er. These locations are marked with the
word "AIRBAG".
The head airbags are inflated together with
the supplemental side airbags only in se­
vere side collisions occuring on the impact
side of the vehicle. The
head airbags will not inflate ...
• if the ignition is switched off
• in frontal collisions
• in side collisions in which vehicle
deceleration is not high enough
• in rear collisions
• in roll-overs.
Under some accident conditions, front and
side and head airbags may inflate.
Remember too, airbags will deploy only
once and only in certain kinds of accidents
-y our safety belts are always there to offer
protection in those accidents in which air­
bags are not supposed to deploy or when
they have already deployed.
A head airbag is not a substitute for the
safety belt It is part of the overa ll vehicle
safety system. The airbag system works
most effectively when used with the safety
belts. Therefore, always wear your safety­
belts. See pages 14 to 24. SA
FETY FIRST
How the head airbag system works
In the event of a side-impact collision, the
head airbag deploys to reduce the risk that
persons sitting next to the doors will be in­
jured if their heads strike the windows or
door columns. In addition, the head airbag
protects occupants from objects hurtled
into the vehicle from the outside, such as
broken glass.
In order to provide optimal protection for ve­
hicle occupants, the airbag system is de­
signed so that the head and side airbags on
the accident side are always triggered to­
gether.
Therefore, the conditions under which the
head airbags are deployed are identical to
those for the side airbags. See page 35.

Power locking switch
The entire vehicle can be locked I unlocked
from the inside by using the power locking
switch in the driver's door.
• To lock all doors, the rear lid and the
fuel filler flap simultaneous ly, press lower
part of power locking switch (see illustra­
tion).
• To unlock all doors, the rear lid and
the fuel filler flap simul taneously, press the
upper part of the switch.
62 The
power locking switch can also be used
to lock and unlock the vehicle when the driv­
er's door is open and the ignition key is re­
moved from the steering lock.
�W ARNING
• H you use the power locking
switch with the doors closed, re­
member that all the vehicle doors
will lock.
Locking doors from the inside can
help prevent inadvertent door
opening during an accident and
can also prevent unwanted entry
from the outside. Locked doors
can, however, delay assistance to
vehicle occupants and rescue
from the outside in an accident or
other emergency.
• Do not leave children Inside the
vehicle unsupervised. In an emer­
gency it would be impossible to
open the doors from the outside
without the key. Child
safety lock for rear doors
To prevent children in the back seat from ac­
cidentally opening the rear doors, a safety
mechanism is provi ded on each rear door.
A -C hild lock disengaged
For the comfort and convenience of adult
rear seat passengers be sure to disengage
the child lock (position A) when no longer
needed.
