Important
information
Importance
of
wearing
safety
belts
and
sitting
properly
Airbags are only supplemental restraints.
For
airbags to do their job, occupants
must
always
properly wear their
safety
belts
and
be
in
a prop-
er
seating position.
For
your
safety
and
the
safety
of
your
passen-
gers,
before
driving off, always:
,. Adjust
the
driver's
seat
and
steering
wheel
properly
<::;>

Adjust
the
front
passenger's
seat
properly

Wear
safety
belts
properly ¢ page 183,
,.
Always properly
use
the
proper
child r
estraint
to
protect

¢ page 212.
In
a collision
airbags
must
inflate within
the
blink
of
an eye
and
with
considerable
force. The
sup-
plemental
airbags
can
cause
injuries if
the
driver
or
the
front
seat
passenger
is
not
seated
proper
·
Ly.
Therefore
in
order
to
help
the
airbag
to
do
its
job
, it is
important,
both
as
a driver
and
as
a pas-
senger
to
sit
properly
at
all
times.
By
keeping
room
between
your
body
and
the
steering
wheel
and
the
front
of
the
passenger
compartment,
the
airbag can
inflate
fully
and
completely
and
provide
supp
l
emental
protection
in
certain
frontal
collisions

It's
especially
important
that
children
are
proper-

restrained

There is a
lot
that
the
driver
and
the
passengers
can
and
must
do to help
the
individual
safety
fea-
tures
installed
in
your Audi work
together
as
a
system
.
Proper
seating
position is
important
so
that
the
front
airbag
on
the
driver
side
can
do
its
job.
If
you have a physical
impairment
or
condition
that
prevents
you
from
sitting
properly
on
the
driver
seat
wit h
the
safety
belt
properly
fastened
and
188
reaching
the
pedals,
or
if you have
concerns
with
regard
to
the
function
or
operation
of
t he Ad-
vanced Airbag
System,
please
contact
your au-
thorized Audi
dealer
or
qualified workshop,
or
call Audi
Customer
Relations
at
1-800-822-2834
for
possible
modifications
to
your vehicle.
When
the
airbag
system
deploys, a
gas
generator
will fill
the
airbags,
break
open
the
padded
cov-
ers,
and
inflate
between
the
steering
wheel
and
the
driver
and
between
the
instrument
panel
and
the
front
passenger.
The
airbags
will
deflate
im-
mediately
after
deployment
so
that
the
front
oc-
cupants
can
see
through
the
windshie
ld
aga
in
without
interruption.
All
of
th
is
take
s pl
ace
in
t he blink
of
an eye,
so
fast
that
many
peopl
e
don't
even
rea
li
ze
that
the
airbags
have
deploy
ed. The
airbags
al
so
i
nflate
with a
great
deal
of
force
and
nothing
should
be
in
their
way
when
they
deploy. Front
airbags
in
combination
with properly worn
safety
belts
slow
down
and
limit
the
occupant's
forward move-
ment.
Together
they
help
to
prevent
the
driver
and
front
seat
passenger
from
hitting
parts
of
the
inside
the
vehicle while reducing
the
forces
acting
on
the
occupant
during
the
crash.
In
this
way
they
help
to
reduce
the
risk
of
injury
to
the
head
and
u
pper
body
in
the
crash
. Airbags
do
not
p
rot
ect
the
arms
or
the
lower
parts
of
the
body.
Both
front
ai
rbags
will
not
inflate
in
all
frontal
collisions. The
triggering
of
the
airbag
system
de-
pends
on
the
vehicle
deceleration
rate
caused
by
the
collision
and
registered
by
the
electro
nic con-
trol
unit
.
If
this
rat
e is below
the
reference
value
programmed
into
the
co
ntrol
unit,
the
ai
rbags
will
not
be
triggered,
even t
hough
the
car
may be
badly
damaged
as
a
result
of
the
collision. Vehi-
cle
damage,
repair
costs
or
even
the
lack
of
vehi-
cle
damage
is
not
necessar
ily
an indication
of
whether
an airbag
should
inflate
or
not.
Since
the
circumstances
will vary considerably
between
one
collision
and
another,
it is
not
possi-
ble
to
define a
range
of
vehicle
speeds
that
will
cover every possible kind
and
angle
of
impact
that
will always
trigger
the
airbags
.
Important
factors
include, for
example,
the
nature
(hard
or
soft)
of
the
object
which
the
car
hits,
the
angle
of
imp
act
,
veh
