Service and disposal of safety belt preten-
sioner
The safety be lt pretensioners are parts of the
safety belts on your Audi. Installing, removing,
servicing or repa iring of belt pretensioners can
damage the safety belt system and prevent it
from work ing correctly 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
env ironment.
A WARNING
-
Improper care, serv icing and repa ir proce-
dures can increase the risk of personal injury
and death by preventing a safety be lt preten-
sioner from activating when needed or acti-
vating it unexpectedly:
- The be lt pretensione r system can be act ivat-
ed only once . If belt pretensione rs have
been activated, the system must be re-
placed.
- Never repair, adjust, or change any parts of
the safety be lt system .
- Safety belt systems including safety belt
pretensioners cannot be repaired. Specia l
