also
not
inflate
in
side
or
rear
collisions,
or
in
roll-overs.
Always remember: Airbags will deploy only once,
and only
in
certain
kinds
of
collisions. Your
safety
belts
are
always
there
to
offer
protection
in
those
situations
in
which ai
rbags
are
not
supposed
to
deploy,
or
when
they
have
already
deployed;
for
example,
when your vehicle strikes
or
is
struck
by
another
vehicle
after
the
first
collision.
This
is
just
one
of
the
reasons
why an airbag
is
a
supplementary
restraint
and
is
not
a
substitute
for a
safety
belt.
The airbag
system
works
most
effectively when
used
with
the
safety
bel
ts.
Therefore, always properly
wear
your
safety
belts

A
WARNING
-
Si
tting
too
close
to
the
steering
wheel
or
in-
strument
panel
will
decrease
the
effective-
ness
of
the
airbags
and
will increase
the
risk
of
personal
injury
in
a collision.
- Never
sit
closer
than
10
in
(25
cm)
to
the
steering
wheel
or
instrument
panel.
-
If
you
cannot
sit
more
than
10
in
(25
cm)
from
the
steering
wheel,
investigate
wheth-
er
adaptive
equipment
may be available
to
held you reach
the
pedals
and
increase your
seating
distance
from
the
steering
wheel.
-
If
you
are
unrestrained,
leaning forward, sit-
t ing sideways
or
out
of
position
in
any way,
your risk
of
injury
is
much higher.
-
You
will also receive
serious
injuri
es
and
could even
be
killed if you
are
up
aga
inst
the
airbag
or
too
close
to
it
when
it infl
ates
-
even with an Advanced Airbag.
- To reduce
the
risk
of
injury
when
an airbag
inflates, always
wear
safety
belts
properly
Q page 184, Safety belts.
- Always
make
certain
that
children
age
12
or
younger
always ri
de
in
the
rear
seat.
If
chil-
dren
are
not
properly
restrained,
they
may
be severely injured
or
killed
when
an
airbag
inflates.
- Never
let
children ride
unrestrained
or
im-
properly
restrained
in
the
vehicle. Adjust
the
front
seats
properly .
- Never ride with
the
backrest
reclined .
Airbag
system
- Always
sit

or
the
instrument
panel
r:=:>page

.
- Always
sit
upright
with
your
back
against
the
backrest
of
your
seat.
- Never place
your
feet
on
the
instrument
panel
or
on
the
seat.
Always keep
both
feet
on
the
floor
in
front
of
the
seat
to
help pre-
vent
serious
injuries
to
the
legs and hips
if
the
airbag inflates.
- Never recline
the
front
passenger's
seat
to
transport
objects
.
Items
can also move into
the
area
of
the
side
airbag
or
the
front
air-
bag during braking
or
in
a
sudden
maneu-
ver. Objects
near
the
airbags
can
become
project
il
es
and
cause
injury
when
an
airbag
inflates.
A
WARNING
___,j
Airbags t
hat
have deployed
in
a crash
must
be
replaced.
-
Use only original
equipment
airbags
ap-
proved by Audi and installed by a
trained
technician
who
has
the
necessary
tools
and
diagnostic
equipment
to
properly replace
any
airbag
in
your
vehicle and
assure
system
effectiveness
in
a
crash
.
- Never
permit
salvaged
or
recycled
airbags
to
be installed
in
your vehicle.

.
Even
though
your
vehicle
is
equipped
with an Ad-
vanced Airbag
System,
make
certain
that
all chil-
dren,
especially
those
12
years
and
younger,
al
-
ways ride
in
the
back
seat
properly
restrained
for
their
age
and
size. The airbag
on
the
passenger
side
makes
the
front
seat
a
potentially
dangerous
place for a child
to
ride. The
front
seat
is
not
the
safest
place for a child
in
a forward-facing child
seat.
It
can
be
a very
dangerous
place
for
an in-
fant
or
a child
in
a rearward-facing
seat.
