Important safety instructions on the side
curtain airbag system
Airbags are only supplemental restraints. Always
properly wear safety belts and ride in a proper
seating position.
There is a lot that you and your passengers must
know and do to help the safety belts and airbags
do their job to provide supplemental
protection.
A
WARNING
Improperly wearing safety belts and improper
seating positions increase the risk of serious
personal injury and death whenever a vehicle
is being used .
- Never let occupants place any parts of their
bodies in the area from which the side cur-
tain airbag inflate.
-Always make sure that the side curtain air-
bags can inflate without interference.
- Use the built-in coat hooks only for light-
weight clothing . Never leave any heavy or
sharp-edged objects in the pockets that may
interfere with airbag deployment and can
cause personal injury in a collision.
- Never use hangers to hang clothes on the
hooks.
- Only use factory-installed sun shades or, if
shades installed after the vehicle leaves the
factory, use only genuine Audi sun shades.
- Never swing the sun visors over to the side
windows if things such as pens, garage door
openers, hands-free speakers, etc. are at-
tached to the sun visors. They could come
loose and cause serious injury if the side cur-
tain airbag inflates.
-A deploying airbag inflates in a fraction of a
second and with great force.
- Never attach objects to the
cover
or in the
deployment zone of a side curtain airbag.

the airbag has been triggered, the system
must be replaced by an authorized Audi
