Owing to its wide range of use, the Audi Q7 represented a special challenge for the development team:
A high degree of passenger protection during both on-road and off-road operation.

range.
The passenger protection system of the Audi Q7 comprises the following components and systems:
– Airbag control unit

– Front side airbags
– Sideguards (curtain airbags)
– Crash sensors for front airbag, the so-called upfront sensors for frontal impact detection
– Crash sensors at the B-pillars for side impact detection
– Crash sensors at the C-pillars for side impact detection
– Front belt tensioners
– Battery isolation igniter
– Switch in front-seat belt buckles
– Seat occupied sensor in front passenger seat
Side airbags for the second seat row and a key operated switch for deactivation of the front passenger airbag
with the corresponding warning lamp are also available as optional equipment.
Owing to the various requirements and statutory regulations placed upon vehicle manufacturers by the
markets, the equipment versions may vary, particularly with regard to the US market.
