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 a irbags 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 belts.
Therefore, always properly wear your safety belts
r:::;.page 180.
A
WARNING
-
Sitting 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 injuries and
cou ld even be killed if you are up aga inst the
airbag or too close to it when it inflates -
even with an Advanced Airbag.
- To reduce the risk of injury when an airbag
inflates, a lways wear safety belts properly
Q
page 184, Safety belts.
- Always make certain that children age 12 or
younger always ride 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 as far as possible from the steer-
ing wheel or the instrument panel
r:=:>page 172.
- 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
projectiles 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.
Child restraints on the front seat - some
important things to know
"' Be sure to read the important information and
head the WARNINGS for important detai ls
about ch ildren and Advanced Airbags
r:::;.page 212 .
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. ..,.
