  Examples of incorrect seating positions
  Safety belts can only provide its optimal protection when they are routed correctly. Incorrect seat ing positions significantly reduce the protective functions of the safety belts and increase the risk of injury due to incorrect belt routing. The following list includes examples of seating positions that could be dangerous for all vehicle occupants. This is not a complete list. Audi would simply like to increase your awareness of the topic.

The following points apply when the vehicle is in motion:

• Never stand ins ide the vehicle.
• Never stand on the seats.
• Never kneel on the seats.
• Never tilt your backrest too far back.
• Never lean against the instrument panel.
• Never lie down on the rear bench seat.
• Never sit only on the front section of the seat.
• Never sit sideways on the seat.
• Never lean against the window.
• Never place your feet out of the window.
• Never place your feet on the instrument panel.
• Never place your feet on the seat cushion.
• Never ride in the footwell.
• Never sit on the armrest.
• Never drive or ride in a seat without fastening your safety belt.
• Never ride in the luggage compartment.

Description

The locations of the airbags are labeled with “AIRBAG”. The following airbags are installed in your vehicle:

1. Driver’s airbag
2. Front passenger’s airbag
3. Side airbags
4. Applies to: Coupe: Head curtain airbag with ejection mitigation
5. Knee airbags

Airbags offer the best possible protection in your vehicle during an accident when they are used together with safety belts that are fastened correctly, and when passengers are sitting in the correct seating position. Airbags are a supplementary restraint system and do not replace safety belts.
Applies to: Coupe: Airbags may deploy during head-on, side-impact, or rollover collisions.
Applies to: Roadster: Airbags may deploy during head-on or side-impact collisions. The deployment area for the airbag system cannot be defined for every situation, since the circumstances surrounding accidents can vary widely. Factors that play an important role include thecondition of the object that the vehicle hits (hard or soft), the angle of impact, vehicle speed, etc. The deciding factor for the deployment of the airbag system is the deceleration that occurs during an accident. Sensors in the vehicle are designed to detect the severity of an accident in conjunction with the control module, and to provide a targeted and timely deployment of the restraint system. If the vehicle deceleration that is measured during an accident is below the specified reference values in the control module, then the airbags will not deploy, even though the vehicle may be severely damaged from the accident. In these cases, the vehicle occupants will be protected by the safety belts if they are fastened and worn correctly.The deployment of the front passenger’s airbag will depend on the occupancy of the seat page 56. Each deployed airbag is filled with gas. When this occurs, the airbag covers open and the airbags unfold with great force into the deployment zone within milliseconds. Inflated airbags reduce the movement of passengers wearing safety belts in the direction of the impact and thus help to reduce the risk of injury. They can help to protect the head, upper body, and lap, for example. However, there is the possibility that airbag deployment can cause injuries. The airbag system only works when the ignition is turned on. If you or other vehicle passengers have physical limitations that prevent sitting in a correct position, modifications to the vehicle may be necessary. For more information, contact an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility, or call Audi customer support at 1-800-822-2834.

Advanced airbag system

The Advanced Airbag System in your vehicle has been certified to comply with the requirements of the United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208, as well as Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 as applicable at the time your vehicle was manufactured. According to these requirements, the front Advanced Airbag System on the passenger’s side has been certified for “suppression” for infants approximately 12 months old and younger, and for “low risk deployment” for children aged 3 to 6 years old (as defined in the standard). The advanced airbag system will activate or deactivate the front passenger’s airbag based on the occupancy of the seat. Ifa front airbag deploys during an accident, the deployment force will adapt to the passenger.

Components
The advanced airbag system consists of the following components:

• Front airbags in the steering wheel and in the instrument panel on the front passenger’s side: these can protect the front passengers during an accident
• Passenger occupant detection sensor in the front passenger’s seat: this detects if the front. passenger’s seat is occupied (for example, by a person or a small child in a child safety seat)
• Seat position sensors on the front seats: these determine the distance between the seat and the steering wheel or instrument panel
• Sensors in the front safety belt latch: these detect if the safety belts are fastened
• PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF #; ON @ indicator light in the headliner: this indicates if the front passenger’s airbag is activated or deactivated = indicator tight in the instrument cluster: this monitors the function of the Advanced Airbag System components to ensure they are functioning correctly

How the components function together
The passenger occupant detection sensor in the front passenger’s seat detects if the front passenger’s seat is occupied. The passenger occupant detection sensor measures the electrical capacity on the front passenger’s seat. The passenger’s airbag is activated or deactivated depending on the electrical capacity that is measured.

The passenger’s airbag is activated if:

• The electrical capacity is higher than the threshold stored in the control module
• The electrical capacity is the same as or greater than the electrical capacity of a typical adult
• The passenger’s airbag is deactivated if:
• The electrical capacity is lower than the threshold stored in the control module
• The electrical capacity is the same as or less than the electrical capacity of a typical oneyear- old child in a child safety seat that has been used for certification in accordance with FMVSS 208

If the front passenger’s airbag is activated, the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON @ indicator light will turn on. If the front passenger’s airbag is deactivated, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF $; indicator lightwill turn on. The deployment force of the front airbags adapts based on whetheror not the safety belt is used and the distance between the seat and the steering wheel/instrument panel. For example, if a person is too close to the front airbag, the front airbag will deploy with less force to help reduce the risk of injury.

warninc
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries, children must always be secured in the vehicle with a child safety seat that is appropriate for their body size, weight, and age.

• Children ages 12 and under must be transported using the appropriate child safety seat. Note differences in regulations between states and countries. Applies to
• Coupe: Also follow the information about the correct seating position on the rear bench seat page 49.
• Child safety seats secured incorrectly in the vehicle may cause serious or fatal injuries in the event of an accident. Always secure the child safety seat according to the manufacturer instructions.
• Children or babies must not under any circumstances be held on the lap of the driver or other passengers while driving.
• Do not secure more than one child in a child safety seat.
• Never allow a child to sit in a child safety seat unsupervised.
• Never allow children to ride unsecured in the vehicle or to stand or kneel on the seats while driving. In the event of an accident, a child could be propelled through the vehicle.
