.&. WARNING
Drivers who are unbelted, out of position or
too close to the airbag can be seriously in­
jured by an airbag as it unfolds. To help re­
duce the risk of serious personal injury:
- Always
adjust the driver's seat and the
steering wheel so that there are at least
10 in (25 cm) between your breastbone and
the steering wheel.
-Always adjust the driver's seat and the
steering wheel so that there are at least 4 in
(10 cm) between the knees and the lower
part of the instrument panel.
- Always hold
the steering wheel on the out­
side of the steering wheel rim with your
hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o 'clock posi­
tions to help reduce the risk of personal in­
jury if the driver's airbag inflates.
- Never hold
the steering wheel at the
12 o'clock position or with your hands at
other positions inside the steering wheel
rim or on the steering wheel hub. Holding
the steering wheel the wrong way can cause
serious injuries to the hands, arms and head
if
the driver's airbag inflates
-
Pointing the steering wheel toward your
face
decreases the ability of the supplemen­
tal driver's airbag to protect you in a colli­
sion.
- Always
sit in an upright position and never
lean
against or place any part of your body
too close to the area where the airbags are
located.
- Before driving, always
adjust the front seats
properly and make sure that all passengers
are properly restrained.
- Never
adjust the seats while the vehicle is
moving. Your seat may move unexpectedly
and you could lose control of the vehicle .
- Never drive with
the backrest reclined or
tilted far back! The farther the backrests are
tilted back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the safety belt
and improper seating position .
- Children
must always ride in child seats
Q page 212. Special precautions apply
-
Safe driving
when installing a child seat on the front
passenger seat Q page 188.
Proper seating position for the front
passenger
The proper front passenger seating position is
important for safe, relaxed driving.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
that you adjust the seat for the front passenger
to the following position:
... Adjust the angle of the seatback so that it is in
an upright position and your back comes in full
contact with it whenever the vehicle is moving.
... Keep both feet flat on the floor in front of the
front passenger seat.
"' Fasten and wear safety belts correctly
Qpage 184.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
front passenger's seat, see Q page 44.
A WARNING
personal injury:
-
Passengers must always sit in an upright po­
sition and never lean against or place any
part of their body too close to the area
where the airbags are located.
-
Passengers who are unbelted, out of posi­
tion or too close to the airbag can be seri­
ously injured by an airbag as it unfolds with
great force in the blink of an eye.
- Always
make sure that there are at least
10 in (25 cm) between the front passen­
ger's breastbone and the instrument panel.
- Always
make sure that there are at least 4 in
(10 cm) between the front passenger's
knees and the lower part of the instrument
panel.
- Each
passenger must always sit on a seat of
their own and properly fasten and wear the
safety belt belonging to that seat. ..,.

Loose items in the luggage compartment can
shift suddenly, changing vehicle handling charac­
teristics. Loose
items can also increase the risk of
serious personal injury in a sudden vehicle ma­
neuver or in a collision .
• Distribute
the load evenly in the luggage com­
partment.
•Always place and properly secure heavy items in
the luggage compartment as far forward as
possible q fig. 143.
•Secure luggage using the tie-downs provided
qpage 177.
•Make sure that the rear seatback is securely
latched in place.
A WARNING
Improperly stored luggage or other items can
fly
through the vehicle causing serious per­
sonal injury in the event of hard braking or an
accident. To help reduce the risk of serious
personal injury:
- Always
put objects, for example, luggage or
other heavy items in the luggage compart­
ment.
-Always secure objects in the luggage com­
partment using the tie-down hooks and
suitable straps.
A WARNING
Heavy loads will influence the way your vehi­
cle
handles. To help reduce the risk of a loss
of control leading to serious personal injury:
-Always keep in m ind when transporting
heavy objects,
that a change in the center of
gravity can also cause changes in vehicle
handling:
- Always
distribute the load as evenly as
possible.
- Place heavy
objects as far forward in the
luggage compartment as possible.
- Never exceed
the Gross Axle Weight Rating
or the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating specified

Improperly worn safety belts
a
~ 0 ± .. QJ
Incorrectly positioned safety belts can cause se­
vere injuries .
Wearing safety belts improperly can cause seri­
ous injury or death. Safety belts can only work
when they are correctly positioned on the body.
Improper seating positions reduce the effective­
ness of safety belts and wil l even increase the
risk of injury and death by mov ing the safety belt
to crit ica l areas of the body. Improper seating
positions also increase the risk of serious injury
and death when an airbag deploys and strikes an
occupant who is not in the correct seating posi­
tion. A driver
is responsible for the safety of all
vehicle
occupants and especially for children.
Therefore:
.. Never permit anyone to assume an incorrect
seated position in the vehicle while traveling
QA .

A WARNING
Improperly worn safety belts increase the risk
of serious personal injury and death whenever
a veh icle is being used.
- Always
make sure that all veh icle occupants
are corr ectly restrained and stay in a correct
seated position whenever the vehicle is be­
ing
used.
- Always read and follow all WARNINGS and

Safety belt tensioner
How safety belt pretensioners work
In front, side and rear-end collisions above a
particular severity
and in a rollover, safety belts
are tensioned automatically .
Pyrotechnic safety belt pretensioners
The safety belts for the front seati ng pos it io ns
are equipped with safety belt pretensioners. The
system is acti va ted by sensors in front, side and
r
ear-end collisions of great seve rity and in a roll­
over. This
tightens the belt and takes up belt
s lack ~ .& in Service and disposal of safety belt
pretensioner on page 187. Taking up the slack
helps
to reduce forward occupant movement dur­
i ng a collis ion.
A WARNING
-It is possi ble for the pretensioners to deploy
incorrect ly .
- The pyrotechnic
system can only provide
protection for one collision. If th e py rotech­
nic pretensioners deploy, the pretensioning
sys tem must be replaced.
(!) Tips
The pyrotechnic safety belt pretensioners can
o nl y
deploy once .
- The
safety belt pretensioners do not deploy
in minor frontal, side and rear-end colli­
sions .
- A
fine dust is re leased when the pyrotechnic
safety belt pretensioners deploy . This is no r­
mal and is not caused by a fire in the veh i­
cle.

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on
and stays on in the overhead console
¢page 200, fig. 158 and tells you when the
front Advanced Airbag on the passenger side
has
been turned off.
- A
sensor in the safety belt latch for the driver
and for
the front seat passenger that senses
whether that safety belt is latched or not and
transmits this information to the electronic
control unit.
A WARNING
Damage to the front passenger seat can pre­
vent the front airbag from working properly.
-
Improper repai r or disassembly of the front
passenger and drive r seat will prevent the
Advanced Airbag System from functioning
properly.
-Repairs to the front passenger seat must be
performed by qualified and properly trained
workshop personnel.
-Never remove the front passenger or driver
seat from the vehicle.
- Never remove
the upholstery from the front
passenger seat.
-Never disassemble or remove parts from the
seat or disconnect wires from it.
- Never carry
sharp objects in your pockets or
put them on the seat. The capacitive pas­
senger detection mat in the front p assenger
seat will not function properly if it is punc­
tur ed.
- Never carry
things on your lap or carry ob­
jects on the front passenger seat. Such ob­
jects can influence the capacitance regis ­
tered by the capacitive passenger detection
system, so that incorrect information is pro­
vided to the airbag control unit.
- Never
store items under the front passenger
seat. Parts of the Advanced Airbag System
under the passenger seat could be dam­
aged, preventing them and the airbag sys­
tem from working properly.
- Never place
seat covers or rep lacement up­
holstery that have not been specifically ap­
proved by Audi on the front seats.
196
-Seat covers can prevent the Advanced Air­
bag System from recognizing child re­
straints or occupants on the front passenger
seat and prevent the side airbag in the seat
backrest from deploying properly.
-If a seat heater has been retrofitted or oth­
erwise added to the front passenger seat,
never install any child restraint system on
this seat.
-Never use cushions, pill ows , blankets, or
simila r items on the front passenger seat.
The additional laye rs p revent the capacit ive
p a
ssenger detecti on sys tem from accurately
measuring the capacitan ce of the child safe­
ty seat and/or the person on the seat and
thus keep the Advanced Airbag System from
working properly.
- Never pl
ace or use any electrica l device
(such as a
laptop, CD player, electronic
games device, power inverter or seat heater
for child seats) on the front passenger seat
if the device is connected to the 12-volt
socket or the cigarette lighter socket. Such
dev i
ces can influence the capac itance regis­
tered by the capacitive passenger detection
system, so that incorrect information is pro­
vided to the airb ag control unit.
- I f you
must use a child restraint on th e fron t
p a

ufacturer's instructions require the use of a
towel,
foam c u shion or something else to
properly position the child restraint, make
certain that the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
light comes on and stays on whenever the
child restraint is installed on the front pas­
senger seat.
-
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does
not come on and stay on, immediately in­
stall child restraint in a rea r seating pos ition
and have
the airbag system inspected by
your Audi dea le r.

-If liquid soaks into the front passenger seat,
this can keep the airbag system from work­
ing properly
and may, for instance,
deactivate
the passenger frontal airbag . If
this happens, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
light will come on and stay on together with
the airbag indicator light fl in the instru­
ment cluster.
-
If liquid is pooled on the seat, but has not
soaked in, this may also keep the airbag sys­
tem from working properly and cause the
passenger frontal airbag to be enabled
(turned on), even though there is a properly
installed child
restraint system on the seat.
Wet towels or other wet things on the seat
cushion can have the same effect. If the
front passenger frontal airbag is turned on,
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light light
will go
out.
How the Advanced Airbag System
components work together
The front Advanced Airbag System and the side
airbags supplement the protection offered by the
front three-point safety belts with pretensioners
and load limiters to help reduce the risk of injury
in a wide range of accident and crash situations.
Be sure to read the important information about
safety and heed the WARNINGS in this chapter.
Deployment
of the Advanced Airbag System and
the activation of the safety belt pretensioners de­
pend on the deceleration measured by the crash
sensors and registered by the electronic control
unit. Crash severity depends on speed and decel­
eration as well as the mass and stiffness of the
vehicle or object involved in the crash.
On the passenger side, regardless of safety belt
use, the front passenger frontal airbag will be
turned off ifthe electrical capacitance measured
by the capacitive passenger detection system on
the front passenger seat is less than the amount
programmed in the electronic control unit. The
front passenger frontal airbag will also be turned
off if the capacitance measured by the system for
the front passenger seat equals that of an infant
of about one year of age in one of the child seats
that was used to certify the Advanced Airbag Sys-
Airbag system
tern under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
208. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes
on and stays on to tell you when the front Ad­
vanced Airbag System on
the passenger side has
been turned off c::;, page 200.
A WARNING
f-=
To reduce the risk of injury when an airbag in-
flates, always wear safety belts properly.
-
If you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sit­
ting sideways
or out of position in any way,
your risk
of injury is much higher .
-
You will also receive serious injuries and
could even be killed if you are up against the
airbag or too close to it when it inflates -
even with an Advanced Airbag ¢page 188.
More important things to know about front
airbags
Fig. 157 Inflated front airbags
Safety belts are important to help keep front
seat occupants in the proper seated position so
that airbags can unfold properly and provide sup­
plemental protection in a frontal collision.
The
front airbags are designed to provide addi­
tional 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 oc-
cupant is properly seated as far as possible
from the airbag .
Because
airbags inflate in the blink of an eye with
great force, things you have on your lap or have
placed on
the seat could become dangerous pro­
jectiles, and
be pushed into you ifthe airbag in-
flates. .,..

come on when the ignition is on and an adult is
sitting in a prope r seating position on the front
passenger seat. If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
light comes on and stays on or flashes for about
5 seconds while driving, under these circumstan ­
ces,
make sure that:
-the adult on the front passenger seat is proper­
ly seated on the center of the seat cu sh ion wit h
his or
her back up against the backrest and the
backrest is not reclined,
-
the adult is not taking weight off the seat by
holding on to the passenger assist handle
above
the front passenger door or supporting
their weight on the armrest,
-the safety belt is being properly worn and that
there is not a lot of slack in the safety belt web­
bing,
-
there are no aftermarket seat covers or cush­
ions or
other things (such as blankets) on the
front passenger seat that might cause the ca­
pacitive passenger detection system to miscal­
culate electrical capacitance.
