Service and disposal of safety belt
pretension er
The safety belt pretensioners are parts of the
safety belts on your Audi. Installing, remov-
ing, servicing or repairing of belt pretension-
ers can damage the safety belt system and
prevent it from working correctly in a colli-
sion.
There are some important things you have to
know to make sure that the effectiveness of
the system will not be impaired and that dis-
carded components do not cause injury or pol-
lute the environment.
A
WARNING
Improper care, servicing and repair proce-
dures can increase the risk of personal in-
jury and death by preventing a safety belt
pretens ioner from activating when needed
or activating it unexpectedly:
- The belt pretensioner system can be acti-
vated only once. If belt pretensioners
have been activated, the system must be
replaced.
- Never repair, adjust, or change any parts
of the safety belt system.
- Safety belt systems including safety belt
pretensioners cannot be repaired. Spe-
cial procedures are required for removal,
installation and disposal of this system.
- For any work on the safety belt system,
we strongly recommend that you see
your authorized Audi dealer or qualified
technician who has an Audi approved re-
pair manual, training and special equip-
ment necessary .
