Welcome Dear Audi Owner,
This chapter contains important informa­
tion, tips and suggestions on occupant safe­
ty.
We've prepared this chapter in order to
summarize what you need to know about
such topics as safety belts, airbags, child
safety, seats for children and infants.
Please make certain that you follow
the suggestions and warnings given
- it's in your own interest and in the
interest of all your passengers.
However, please note, that impor­
tant safety information regarding
your vehicle and its operation will
also be found in all other chapters of
this Owner's Manual.
Remember -safety first! Safety
first
Yo ur safety and the safety of your passen­
gers shouldn't be left to chance. Advances
in technology have made a variety of fea­
tures available to help reduce the risk of in­
jur y in an accident. The following is a listing
of just a few of the safety features in your
Audi:
sophisticated safety belts with tension­
ers
optimized safety belt geometry through
safety belt ancho rages on front seats,
safety belt height adjustors front seats,
lateral belt adjustment on outer rear
seats,
safety belt guide for the center rear seat
- front airbags
side airbags in the front and rear* seats
- head airbags left and right above the
doors
special seat pan structure
- adjustable steering column
padded kneebar integrated into the dash­
board. These
individual safety features, can work
together as a system to help protect you
and your passengers in a wide range of acci­
dents. These features can't work as a sys­
tem if they are not always properly adjusted
and properly used!
The following sections provide important in­
formation about why these features are im­
portant, how they work to help protect you
and your passengers and how they must be
adjusted and used to get the greatest bene­
fit and reduce the likelihood of injury.
The sections also contain important
WA RNINGS which you and your passen­
gers must always heed in order to reduce
the risk of personal injury.
Safety is everybody's responsibil­
ity!

SA
FETY FIRST
Don't rely on airbags alone for protection.
Even when they deploy, airbags provide
only supplemental protection. Airbags are
not supposed to deploy in all kinds of acci­
dents. Although your Audi is equipped with
airbags for the driver and front seat passen­
ger, all vehicle occupants, including the
driver, still have to wear safety belts- re­
gardless of whether their seating position
has an airbag.
Remember too, that airbags will deploy only
once and that your safety belts are always
there to offer protection in those accidents
in which airbags are not supposed to deploy
or when they have already deployed.
Unbelted occupants can also be thrown out
of the car where even more severe or fatal
injuries can occur.
16 Unbelted
passengers in the rear seats en­
danger not only themselves but also other
passengers. In a frontal collision they will be
thrown forward violently, where they can hit
and injure the driver or front seat passenger.
Safety belts protect
Safety belts used properly can make a big
difference. Safety belts help to keep pas­
sengers in their seats, gradually reduce en­
ergy levels applied to the body in an acci­
dent, and help prevent the uncontrolled
movement that can cause serious injuries.
In addition, safety belts reduce the danger
of being thrown out of the car. Safety
belts attach passengers to the car
and give them the benefit of being slowed
down more gently or "softly" through the
"give" in the safety belts, crumple zones
and other safety features engineered into
today's cars. By "absorbing" the kinetic en­
ergy over a longer period of time, the forces
on the body become more "tolerable" and
less likely to cause injury.

WARNING continued
• Keep the belts clean.
Dirty belts may not work properly
- see also .. Cleaning and protec­
tion .. page 218.
• Safety belts that have been
worn and loaded in an accident
must be replaced with the correct
replacement safety belt by an au­
thorized Audi Dealer. Replace­
ment may be necessary even if
damage cannot be clearly seen.
• Safety belt anchorages that
have been loaded in an accident
must be inspected by a qualified
workshop or an authorized Audi
Dealer.
• Never modify. disassemble, or
try to repair your safety belts. Seating capacity
Your Audi has 5 seating positions, 2 in the
front and 3 in the rear. Each seating position
has a safety belt.
�W ARNING
Never let more people ride in the
vehicle than there are seat belts
available. Be sure everyone riding
in the vehicle is correctly re­
strained with a separate seat belt. SA
FETY FIRST
Lap- shoulder belt
The front and rear seats are equipped with
three-point safety belts.
The three-point belts in the front passenger
and rear positions each have a convertible
locking feature in addition to the emergency
locking feature. The convertible locking fea­
ture is used when a child seat is installed,
see page 51.
The retractors in the combination lap-shoul­
der belts allow the system to adjust to your
size and movements as long as the pull on
the belt is slow.
Hard braking or a collision locks the belt. The
belt will a I so lock when you drive up or down
a steep hill or in a sharp curve.

SA
FETY RRST-----------------------------------------------------
Fastening the safety belt
• Adjust your seat before fastening
the safety belt. See page 76.
� WARN ING
Safety belts offer optimum protec­
tion only when the seat back is up­
right and belts are properly posi­
tioned on the body. Improperly
positioned safety belts can cause
serious personal injury in an acci­
dent.
20 •
To fasten, grasp belt tongue and pull the
belt in a continuous slow motion across
your chest and lap.
• Insert the belt tongue into the buckle on
the inboard side of the seat. Push down un­
til it is securely locked with an audible click.
Pull belt to check!
� WARNING
• Always make sure the safety
belt tongue is inserted into the
buckle for the same seating posi­
tion.
• Att aching the safety belt to the
buckle for another seat could re­
duce safety belt effectiveness and
cause injury. Adjusting
shoulder seat belt
Belt height adjustment front seats
Safety belt height adjustors for the
front seats can be used to adjust the
height of the shoulder portion of the safety
belt. This feature will help you properly posi­
tion the shoulder portion of the safety belt
across your shoulder.
• Press the handle slowly up or down so
that the shoulder portion of the safety belt
is positioned nearly midway over the shoul­
der.
• Pull on the shoulder belt to check
whether the belt anchor is securely locked
in place.

SA
FETY RRST---------------------------------------------------
Lateral belt adjustment outer rear
seats
Passengers sitting in the rear must position
safety belts over their body as outlined for
the front occupants.
The shoulder belt must be positioned over
the shoulder.
It must never rest against the neck
and must fit against your body. The
lap belt must be worn low and tight
across the pelvis.
See illustration above. Pull belt tight.
22 The
outer rear seats are equipped with a
lateral shoulder belt adjustment.
• To adjust the shoulder belts of the outer
seats. move the belt guide towards the
center of the vehicle for taller occupants, or
towards the outside for shorter occupants.
See symbols on the belt guide. l
Safety belt guide for the center
rear seat
The three-point belt adjusts itself to suit the
height of the occupant.
The above illustration shows the belt fitted
on a person of average height.

For
occupants who may be smaller, the
position of the belt should be adjusted by
placing the belt in the guide, if otherwise the
belt would run across the wearer's neck
instead of over the center of the shoulder
(see illustration).
If the occupant moves a long way to one
side and the belt slides out of the gu id e . it
must be placed back in the guide by hand. Convert
ible Locking Retractor
(CLR)
The convertible locking retractor is neces­
sary to secure child restraint systems.
The retractors for the front passenger's seat
and the rear seat three point safety belts are
equipped with an automatic locking feature
in addition to the emergency locking fea­
ture.
If you need to install a child restraint system
on the front passenger's seat or on one of
the rear seats, it must be secured by use of
the belt after activating the locking feature
-see pages 32 and 51 for important safety
information related to the use of child re­
straints on the front seat.
Activating the locking retractor
• Slowly pull the belt all the way out.
• Insert the belt tongue into the buckle for
tha t seating position (pull on it to check!)
a n d guide the rest of the belt with your hand
back in place; while doing this you should
hear a clicking sound. This sound signals
that the locking retractor has been acti­
vated. SA
FETY FIRST
Deactivating the locking retractor
The locking retractor is deactivated by un­
fas te n ing the safety belt and allowing the
safety belt to retract completely to its
stowed position. The safety belt can now be
used as an ordinary three-point safety belt
without the additional locking feature.
If a person sitting In the passenger
seat or rear wearing the safety belt
should activate the locking retrac­
tor. then the safety belt must be un­
fastened in order to deactivate the
locking retractor.
� WARN ING
Never unfasten the safety belt to
deactivate the locking retractor
while the vehicle is in motion. You
would not be protected at all and
could suffer serious injury in an ac­
cident.

---------------------------------------------------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.

--------------------------SAFETY FIRST
Importance
of proper seating
position
In a collision airbags must inflate within a
blink of an eye and with considerable force.
The supplemental airbags could injure you
if you are not seated properly. Therefore in
order to help the airbag to do its job, it is im­
portant, both as a driver and as a passenger
to sit properly at all times. By keeping room
between your body and the front of the pas­
senger compartment, the airbag can inflate
fully and completely and provide supple­
mental protection in certain frontal colli­
sions. See page 76 for information on the
adjustment of the front seats and also
"Front seats" page 78, for details on the op­
eration of the seat adjustment controls. It's
especially importantthat children be proper­
ly restrained. See chapter "Child safety",
page 44. �W
ARNING
• Sitting too close to the stee ring
wheel or instrument panel will de­
crease the effe ctiveness of the air­
bags and will increase the risk of
personal injury in an accident.
• If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way. your risk of in­
jury is much higher. You will also
receive serious or fatal injuries
from the airbag if you are up
against it or too close to it when it
inflates.
• To reduce the risk of injury
when an alrbag inflates, always
wear safety belts properly.
See "How to wear the safety belts
properly" on page 18. '4
WARNING continued
• Children age 12 or younger
should always ride in the rear seat.
If children are not properly re­
strained, they may be severely in­
jured or killed when an airbag
inflates. Never let children ride un­
restr ained or improperly re­
strained in the vehicle.
• Adjust the front seats properly.
- Never ride with the backrest re-
clined.
- Always sit as far as possible
from the the stee ring wheel or
the instrument panel.
Always heed all WA RNINGS
on next page.
