@ Tips
The pyrotechnic safety be lt pretensioners can
only deploy once.
- The safety belt pretensioners do not dep loy
in minor fronta l and side collisions, in rear-
end collisions, in rollovers and in collisions
involving very little impact force.
- A fine dust is released when the pyrotechnic
safety be lt pretens ioners deploy. This is nor-
mal and is not caused by a fire in the vehi-
cle.
- The re levant safety requirements must be
observed when the veh icle or components
of the system are scrapped . A qualified

- Be sure to observe all safety, environmental
and othe r regulations if the veh icle or indi-
vidual parts of the system, particularly the

recommend you have your author ized Audi
dealer perform this serv ice for you.
