Passenger protection
Side airbags N199 and N200
The side airbags have the same design and function
as those fitted in other Audi models. However, they
have been adapted to the new Audi A6'05.
Vehicles for the North American market are
equipped with side airbags (front), which
are adapted to meet the specific market
requirements.
Head airbags N251 and N252
Sideguards
The policy for the sideguard, like all Audi vehicles, is
to cover the entire side window area. New head
airbags are used in the Audi A6´05. The hybrid gas
generator is no longer fitted in the proximity
C-pillar, but in the upper area of the B-pillar. The
centric location of the gas generator ensures an
even filling of the airbag. In addition, the
so-called gas lance is no longer required. As a
result, not only has the total weight been reduced
by approx. 50 per cent, but installation space has
also been created for adjacent components.
