Improperly worn safety belts
Incorrectly positioned safety belts can cause se-
vere injuries.
Wearing safety belts improperly can cause seri-
ous injury or death . Safety belts can only work
when they a re correctly pos itioned on the body .
Improper seating positions reduce the effect ive-
ness of safety be lts and will even increase the
risk of injury and death by mov ing the safety bel t

positions also increase the risk of serious injury
and death when an airbag deploys and strikes an
occ upant who is not in the correct seat ing posi-
tion . A driver is respons ible for the safety of all
vehicle occupants and espec ia lly for children.

Belt
tensioners
How safety belt pretensioners work
In front, side and rear-end collisions above a
particular severity and in a rollover, safety belts
are tensioned automatically.
The safety belts are equ ipped w it h safety belt
pretens ione rs . The system is activated by sensors
in front, s ide and rea r-end collisions of great se-
ver ity and in a rollover. This tightens the bel t an d
t a kes up belt slack ¢ .&.

Tips
The safety belt pretensioner can only be act i-
vated once.
- The safe ty be lt pretensione rs do no t de ploy
in minor fron t al, side a nd rear -end colli -
sions .
- When the safe ty belt pretensioners
are acti-
vated, a fine dust is released . This is normal
and is not caused by a fire in the vehicle.
- The relevant safety requirements mus t be
observed when the vehicle or components
of the system are scrapped. An autho rized
Audi dealer or qua lified workshop is familia r
with these reg ulations and will be pleased
to pass on the information to you.
- Be sure to observe all safety, environmenta l
and other regulat ions if the vehicle or indi-
vidua l parts of the system, particularly the
safety belt or airbag, are t o be disposed. We
recommend you have your autho rized Audi
dea ler perform t his service fo r you.
