Seat belts
ATTENTION

Be fastened by belts before each trip, including and around the city! It concerns also to passengers of back seats. Pregnant women also always should be fastened by belts.

The protective effect of belts substantially depends on an arrangement of their tapes after fastening. Recommendations about the correct fastening are provided by belts further.


Why to be fastened by seat belts?

It is known that seat belts are an effective remedy of protection at the road accidents.
At frontal collision not fastened passengers move forward and hit (as shown in an illustration) against various parts of interior of the car, such as, for example, steering wheel, dashboard, windshield.

The popular belief in protection of a body hands in case of easy collision is wrong. At collision even with an insignificant speed arise insuperable force hands.

Passengers of a back seat need also to be fastened as at collision there is their uncontrollable movement in interior of the car. Not fastened passenger on a back seat constitutes danger not only to himself, but also to forward passengers.
ATTENTION

Surely you remember the following:
The holding strap of a tape of a belt, its twisting or friction about keen edges is inadmissible.
One belt never to fasten two people at once (also children).
The maximum protective effect of belts is reached only the pripravilny provision of a seat — address Seat subsection.
The tape of a belt should not press on firm or fragile objects (points, ball pens, etc.) as it can become the reason of injuries.
The multilayered free clothes (for example, a coat over a jacket) constrain landing and break work of seat belts.
The fastener of a belt has to be inserted into a nest of the lock of the seat.
You keep a tape of a belt clean as because of strong pollution operation of automatic equipment of belts can be broken.
Do not hammer a nest of the lock with paper, etc. garbage as because of it it is impossible zashchelkivany fasteners of the lock.
Dismantle of seat belts or entering of any changes into their design, and also their repair is not allowed by own forces.
The seat belts damaged, and also stretched owing to emergency operation are subject to replacement by HUNDRED Audis.
Besides, check also points of fastening of belts.


Automatic seat belts with three-basic fastening

Automatic seat belts provide full freedom of movement at their smooth tension. However at sharp braking they are blocked.

Automatic equipment blocks belts also at acceleration of the car, at movement along mountain roads and on turns.
Besides constant blocking of belts of the forward passenger, and also belts of back side seats for fastening of child seats is possible.
ATTENTION

Backs of front seats can be rejected back only on condition that the diagonal tape will adjoin to a breast. Otherwise the protective effect of belts can be lost.

The back executed separately * a back seat has to be reliably recorded for the purpose of ensuring protective action of a seat belt of an average seat – address Seat subsection.


Pyrotechnic device of a tension of seat belts

At dangerous frontal and side crashes of a tape of belts with three-basic fastening automatically stretch. At stronger collisions safety cushions in addition reveal.

Devices of a pyrotechnic tension of belts do not work at back collisions and capsizing.
ATTENTION

All works in system, and also dismantle and installation of its components for carrying out other repair operations carry out only on HUNDRED Audis.
System – single operation. After operation it is subject to replacement.
At operation of devices of a pyrotechnic tension smoke is emitted. Smoke does not demonstrate fire of the car.


Fastening by belts with three-basic fastening

Undertake a belt fastener, smoothly extend a tape, impose it over a breast and a belt and insert a fastener into a nest of the lock before the heard click (pull for a belt and be convinced that the lock is locked!).

Diagonal part of a tape of a belt has to pass through the middle of a shoulder (address an illustration) and do not cover a neck at all. At the same time it has to adjoin to a breast densely.

The zone tape has to adjoin to hips always densely. If necessary shift it down and tighten.

To pregnant women also always to be fastened by belts.

At the same time the zone tape of a belt has to settle down as low as possible that there was no pressure upon a stomach.

Adjustment of a belt on height


For front seats the possibility of regulation of provision of a diagonal tape of a belt is provided.

For adjustment displace up or down a cursor with a reverse buckle that the diagonal tape appeared approximately at the level of the middle of a shoulder, as shown in the previous illustration, but did not cover a neck at all.

After adjustment pull a belt to be convinced of reliability of fixing of a buckle.

Otstegivaniye of belts with three-basic fastening

The belt comes unfastened pressing of a finger the red button of the lock. At the same time the fastener is pushed out from a nest under the influence of a spring.

For simplification of operation of automatic equipment of retraction of belts take away a fastener a hand back. The plastic button which is closed up in a tape of a belt is intended for keeping of a belt in a comfortable position.

Zone belt *

The average seat can be completed with a zone seat belt also.

Use of a zone belt same, as well as three-basic automatic belt.

For fastening the belt is extended by one continuous movement, and its fastener is inserted into a nest of the corresponding lock to a zashchelkivaniye (surely pull a belt to be convinced that the lock is locked).

At correctly fastened belt the red button is from outer side of the lock of a belt.

The belt has to adjoin to a belt always densely.
ATTENTION

Extend a belt it is possible only if the tape was completely removed by the involving mechanism.
For an otstegivaniye of a belt press the red button of the lock and let's a tape clean up in the involving mechanism.


Safety cushions

At dangerous frontal collisions of a safety cushion together with three-basic seat belts provide additional protection of area of the head and thorax of the driver and forward passenger.
Side and head * safety cushions at strong side crashes reduce danger of damage of the passengers who are in a blow zone.

The safety cushion is not replacement of seat belts, and represents a part of the general concept of passive safety of the car.

You should mean constantly that the most protective effect of system of safety cushions is reached only at interaction with the fastened seat belts.

Therefore be always fastened by seat belts.

System components

The main components are:

· electronic control actuation device (monitor)
· both forward pillows
· side pillows
· left and right head pillows *

Control lamp

Readiness of system for work is controlled by electronics and brought to indication by means of a control lamp of "AIRBAG".
After each inclusion of ignition for several seconds the control lamp of "AIRBAG" which has to go out after completion of process of self-diagnostics lights up. If the lamp does not die away or lights up during the movement, means damage of system takes place. Address a podazdel Control and measuring devices. Precautionary and diagnostic systems.
ATTENTION

In case of malfunction the system needs urgent check on HUNDRED Audis. Otherwise at accident there is a danger of regular failure of pillows or devices of a tension of seat belts.


Modules of safety cushions

The description of a location of safety cushions (a pillow with a gas generator) is given below.


The forward safety cushion of the driver is in the panel of a covering of a steering wheel. The location is designated by "AIRBAG".
ATTENTION

The maximum protective effect of belts and system of safety cushions is reached only at the correct arrangement on a seat.

The forward safety cushion of the forward passenger is in the dashboard over a ware box. The location is designated by "AIRBAG".


Side safety cushions are in a covering of backs of lobbies (address an illustration) seats. The location is designated by "AIRBAG".

Head safety cushions * are over doors in a ceiling at the left and on the right. Installation sites are designated by "AIRBAG".
Head pillows at disclosure close on both sides a zone of glasses of lobbies and back doors.

Under what conditions safety cushions work?

Safety cushions of the driver and the forward passenger work at dangerous frontal collisions.
At strong side crashes side pillows work together with head * a pillow of the relevant party of the car.

In special emergencies both forward, and side pillows together with corresponding head * a pillow can work.
Safety cushions do not work at easy frontal and side crashes, arrivals behind and capsizing of the car. In such situations of passengers traditionally protect the fastened seat belts.

There are no uniform criteria of operation of pillows in each concrete situation. It is explained by extremely different specifics of accidents. An important role is played, for example, by such factors as properties of a subject to collision with the car (firm, soft), the angle of collision, car speed, etc.

Condition of operation of system of safety cushions in case of collision the delay process fixed by the monitor is decisive. Safety cushions do not work at collision when sizes of delay of the car are lower than the programmed monitor sizes though owing to accident quite strong deformation of the car is possible.

Forward safety cushions

At operation of system there is a filling of airbags working gas and their disclosure, as shown in an illustration.
At contact with completely mumpish airbag the movement of passengers is extinguished and danger of injuries of the head and the top part of a trunk decreases.

Specially developed design of an inflatable pillow provides the operated exit of working gas under the influence of the driver or the passenger for the purpose of mitigation of reception of the head and a trunk. Thereof there is blowing off of a pillow after its operation therefore the forward review is again released.

Inflation of safety cushions happens for the 100-th fractions of a second and to high speed for the purpose of ensuring additional protection at accident.

At the same time the pillow develops very big force that can become the getting injured reason the passengers who are not holding direct position on a seat or at stay in an area of coverage of a pillow of any objects.

At inflation of a safety cushion fine dust is formed. It is normal and does not demonstrate fire of the car.
Surely take preventions below into account:
ATTENTION

Adopt the normal, direct provision and sustain a distance in relation to a steering wheel / dashboard for the purpose of achievement of the maximum protective effect at operation of pillows. Besides, seats always have to be established precisely on growth (address Seat subsection).
If you were not fastened by seat belts, bend during advance or hold the wrong position on a seat, then in case of accident, at operation of system of safety cushions you are exposed to the increased danger of traumatizing.
You do not transport on front seats of children without the corresponding systems of laying and a tension of seat belts at all. Operation of system of pillows at accident can lead to severe injuries or death. For more detailed data address the section "Rules of Safe Transportation of Children".
Between ahead sitting and an area of coverage of pillows should not be other persons (for example, children), animals or objects.
The panel of a covering of a steering wheel and the surface of the module of a pillow in the dashboard of the forward passenger cannot be pasted over, fitted fabric or to process otherwise. Wipe only it with the dry or moistened fabric.
On a covering of modules of safety cushions fastening of any objects, for example, of holders for glasses, the holder of phone is not allowed.
Protective action of system of pillows is enough only for one accident. After single operation all system is subject to replacement.
You do not make any changes to a design of pillows.


All works in system of pillows, and also dismantle and installation of its components owing to carrying out other repair operations (for example, removal of a steering wheel), carry out only on HUNDRED Audis.

Side safety cushions


At operation of system there is a filling of safety cushions working gas.
Inflation of a pillow happens for the 100-th fractions of a second and to high speed for the purpose of ensuring additional protection at accident.
Completely mumpish pillow, owing to the operated exit of working gas under the influence of loading, extinguishes lateral motions of passengers. As a result danger of damage of the top part of a trunk from doors decreases.
Surely take preventions below into account:
ATTENTION

If you were not fastened by seat belts, bend during advance or hold the wrong position on a seat, then in case of accident, at operation of system of side safety cushions you are exposed to the increased danger of traumatizing.
For achievement of the maximum protective effect of side pillows always hold the correct position on a seat, having fastened by belts.
Your head never has to be in a zone of an exit of side pillows. Otherwise at accident you can get a severe injury. It especially concerns children.
Between ahead sitting and an area of coverage of pillows should not be other persons (for example, children), animals or objects.
Besides, for operation of side pillows fastening on doors of foreign objects, such as, for example, holders of glasses with drinks is not allowed.
On hooks for clothes it is possible to hang up only light clothes. In pockets there should not be heavy and acute-angled objects.
At all use on seats of covers, uncoordinated to Audi, is not allowed. The pillow reveals from a seatback. Therefore in the presence of uncoordinated covers or an upholstery of seats protective function of your side safety cushion is considerably broken.
Urgently eliminate damages of an original upholstery of seats or seams to the location of the module of a side pillow on HUNDRED Audis.
The child's inclination forward or the wrong position on sitting during the movement subject children of the increased danger of traumatizing in case of accident. It concerns first of all the children transported on a seat of the forward passenger at operation of system of safety cushions in case of accident. It can cause life-threatening damages or even damages from the death.
Protective action of system of pillows is enough only for one accident. After single operation the system is subject to replacement.
You do not make any changes to components of system of pillows.
All works in system of side pillows, and also dismantle and installation of its components owing to carrying out other repair operations (for example, removal of a front seat), carry out only on HUNDRED Audis. Otherwise functional violations of a security system are possible.


Head safety cushions (SIDEQUARD) *

Operation of a head pillow reduces danger of injuries of the head at blow about glass, and also about racks of doors of the passengers sitting at doors. Besides, the head pillow protects from penetration outside of any objects, for example, of glass splinters.


At operation of side pillows there is an automatic disclosure of the corresponding head pillow.
At the same time the head pillow closes, as shown in an illustration, side glasses and racks of doors and by that is at the same time effective protection for forward and back passengers.

For ensuring this additional protective function stay in an area of coverage of pillows of any objects is not allowed.

Surely take preventions below into account:
ATTENTION

On hooks for clothes it is possible to hang up only light clothes. In pockets there should not be heavy and acute-angled objects. Besides, use of hangers (coat hanger) for clothes is not allowed.
Between ahead sitting and an area of coverage to a pillow on has to be other persons (for example, children), animals or objects.
Besides, the vysovyvaniye by passengers of the head and hands from windows is not allowed. In addition, for the purpose of free disclosure of head pillows stay in a zone of their exit of any objects is not allowed.
You do not take away antisolar peaks to side glasses if on peaks such objects as a ball pen, the device for opening of a garage, etc. fasten, for example. At disclosure of a head pillow these objects can become the reason of receiving a trauma by you.
From back doors installation only of original sun-protection curtains Audi is allowed.
You do not make any changes to components of system of pillows.
Protective action of pillows is enough only for one accident. After single operation the system is subject to replacement.
All works in system of head pillows, and also dismantle and installation of its components owing to carrying out other repair operations (for example, an internal covering of a ceiling), carry out only on HUNDRED Audis. Otherwise functional violations of a security system are possible.


It is necessary to remember also:

No more than in 14 years after date of production the system of safety cushions is subject to replacement on new by HUNDRED Audis. Date of production (month/year) can be found in the plate with passport data of the service book.

For the purpose of preservation of operability of system observe this term surely.

In case of replacement of components (modules) of safety cushions of earlier established period (for example, as a result of accident), new date of replacement of these components is defined and confirmed in the service book by the corresponding marks serving you HUNDRED Audis.

At sale of the car transfer to the buyer full documentation of the car. Remember that it includes also documentation on the disconnected pillow of the forward passenger!

When cutting the car on scrap metal or utilization of separate components of system of inflatable pillows and pyrotechnic devices of a tension of belts observance of the corresponding safety regulations known to experts HUNDRED Audis is obligatory.

Shutdown of safety cushions

Shutdown of safety cushions is provided only in certain cases, for example:

· in need of installation in exceptional cases on a seat of the forward passenger of a children's seat on which the child settles down a back in the direction of travel if despite correctly established seat of the driver the minimum distance (25 cm) between the center of a steering wheel and a breast is not maintained,
· in need of installation in a zone of a steering wheel of special devices at physical defects,
· at installation of other seats (for example, orthopedic seats without side safety cushions).

On HUNDRED Audis you can learn possibilities of shutdown of airbags of your car. The description of an order of shutdown of a safety cushion of the forward passenger of a factory complete set is given below.

On HUNDRED Audis the disconnected safety cushion is marked by a sticker in a dashboard zone (at the disconnected safety cushion of the forward passenger).

As soon as possible return the disconnected pillows to an operating mode for performance of protective function by them.

Shutdown of a safety cushion of the forward passenger at installation of a children's seat

Disconnect a pillow of the forward passenger at exclusive need of installation on a seat of the forward passenger of a children's seat on which the child settles down a back forward.

However we recommend to mount a children's seat only on a back seat that the pillow of the forward passenger remained in an operating mode.

Return in an operating mode a pillow of the forward passenger on HUNDRED Audis or by means of the lock switch * as soon as need for use of a children's seat disappears.

At installation of child seats surely consider recommendations of the section "Rules of Safe Transportation of Children".
ATTENTION

In need of exceptional cases of transportation of the child ahead with use of a children's seat on which the child settles down a back in the direction of travel previously disconnect on HUNDRED Audis or the lock switch located in a ware box a pillow of the forward passenger. Otherwise there is a danger of receiving heavy damages or death. For consultations address on HUNDRED Audis.

Lock switch of a pillow of the forward passenger *

The safety cushion of the forward passenger should be disconnected the lock switch represented on an illustration and located in a ware box in need of installation in exceptional cases on a seat of the forward passenger of a children's seat on which the child settles down a back in the direction of travel.

For shutdown of a pillow of the forward passenger turn a car key in situation (0).

The pillow joins turn of a key in situation (I).

Rules of safe transportation of children

The statistics of incidents demonstrates that for children the back seat in comparison with a seat of the forward passenger is safer. Children up to 12 years, as a rule, have to be transported on a back seat. Depending on age, growth and body weight at their transportation it is necessary to use special nurseries or belts which are already mounted on the car. For safety reasons to mount system of children's belts on an extreme back seat, average or most remote from the driver.
ATTENTION

During the movement all have to be fastened. It especially concerns children.
Never allow the child to stand in the car or to be kneeling in a seat during the movement. In case of accident the child can get dangerous injuries.
The child's inclination forward or the wrong arrangement on a seat during the movement subject children of the increased danger of traumatizing in case of accident. It concerns first of all the children transported on a seat of the forward passenger at operation of system of safety cushions in case of accident. It can cause life-threatening damages or even damages from the death.
In order to avoid injuries in a stomach and a neck of children growth to 150 cm it is impossible to fasten a standard seat belt without use of special children's system of belts.
It is impossible to transport children at all – including chest – on a lap at adults.

It is allowed to use only such systems of children's seat belts which are officially allowed to application and approach the specific child.

The ECE-R 44 standard accepted by the Economic commission of the UN for Europe according to which such systems are divided into 5 groups works for systems of laying and a tension of children's seat belts:

Group 0: to 10 kg (approximately up to 9 months)
Group 0+: to 13 kg (approximately up to 18 months)
Group 1: 9–18 kg (approximately from 8 months to 4 years)
Group 2: 15–25 kg (from about 3 to 7 years)
Group 3: 22–36 kg (from about 6 to 12 years)

The systems of laying and tension of children's belts tested according to the ECE-R 44 standard are supplied with the confirming marking (big "Е", placed in a circle, below control number). The label with marking rigidly fastens to a seat.

Group 0/0+


For babies aged approximately up to 9 months / 10 kg, and also up to 18 months / 13 kg best of all approach the children's seats transformed if necessary for transportation lying (address an illustration).
ATTENTION

In need of exceptional cases of transportation of the child on a seat of the forward passenger with use of a children's seat on which the child settles down a back in the direction of travel previously disconnect on HUNDRED Audis or the lock switch located in a ware box a pillow of the forward passenger. Otherwise there is a danger of receiving heavy damages or death. For consultation address on HUNDRED Audis.


At once return in an operating mode a pillow of the forward passenger on HUNDRED Audis or the lock switch * if there is no need for use of a children's seat any more.

Group 1

Approximately up to 4 years / 18 kg are most suitable seats with the fixing table (address an illustration) for babies and juveniles or such on which the child settles down a back in the direction of travel.
ATTENTION

In need of exceptional cases of transportation of the child on a seat of the forward passenger with use of a children's seat on which the child settles down a back in the direction of travel previously disconnect on HUNDRED Audis or the lock switch located in a ware box a pillow of the forward passenger. Otherwise there is a danger of receiving heavy damages or death. For consultation address on HUNDRED Audis.
At once return in an operating mode a pillow of the forward passenger on HUNDRED Audis or the lock switch * if there is no need for use of a children's seat any more.


Group 2


The combination of child seats to diagonal and zone seat belts most is suitable for children at the age of about 7 years / 25 kg.
ATTENTION

The diagonal tape of a belt has to pass approximately through the middle of a shoulder and not cover a neck at all, reliably adjoining at the same time to a breast. The zone tape of a belt has to cover the child's hips, but not a stomach.

Group 3

For children at the age of about 7 years is also more senior, growth to 150 cm, podkladny pillows in combination with diagonal and zone seat belts are most convenient.
ATTENTION

The diagonal tape of a belt has to pass approximately through the middle of a shoulder and not cover a neck at all, reliably adjoining to a breast. The zone tape of a belt has to cover hips, but not a stomach.
Children over 150 cm in height can use seat belts without podkladny pillows.
Use the systems of children's seat belts entering the nomenclature of the original products Audi. Under the general name "Huckerpack" systems for all of age categories are offered. These systems conform to the ECE-R 44 standard and besides were developed and tested for application on the Audi cars.
Show extra care when using systems of the children's seat belts combined on carving fastening with the belts which are already available in the car. Make sure that bolts are wrapped up to the end with effort of 50 N • m.
Check correctness of imposing of belts. Besides, track that the tape of a belt could not be damaged about keen edges of buckles.
One set of children's belts it is at the same time possible to fasten only one child.


At installation and application of children's belts observe legislative provisions, and also instructions of the manufacturer of concrete system.

Blocking of a children's seat

For fastening of a children's seat long blocking of seat belts with three-basic fastening can be carried out.

Blocking implementation

Fix a children's seat by a belt with three-basic fastening according to the instruction of their manufacturer.

Completely take a diagonal tape of a belt after fastening.

Release a tape of a belt and achieve its dense prileganiye to a children's seat. The film should not appear back. Try to pull sharply a belt a hand. It should not twitch!

Blocking removal

Press the button of red color in the belt lock. At the same time the tape of a belt is involved and the belt is deblocked.

Installation of child seats on a seat of the forward passenger

For the safety reasons we recommend to install children's systems of laying and a tension of seat belts on back seats. At installation of child seats on a seat of the forward passenger, in connection with existence of a pillow, consider the following:
ATTENTION

At the included safety cushion of the forward passenger, nay the place it is impossible to establish a children's seat on which the child sits a back in the direction of travel. The children's seat is in an area of coverage of a pillow of the forward passenger. Therefore there is a danger of receiving a severe or fatal injury by the child at disclosure of a pillow.
When using of a children's seat on which the child settles down the person in the direction of travel the front passenger seat has to be shifted completely back.
In need of exceptional cases of transportation of the child on a seat of the forward passenger with use of a children's seat on which the child settles down a back in the direction of travel previously disconnect the lock switch located in a ware box or on HUNDRED Audis a pillow of the forward passenger.
At the disconnected safety cushion of the forward passenger his side pillow remains in working situation.
At once return in an operating mode a pillow of the forward passenger on HUNDRED Audis or the lock switch * if there is no need for use of a children's seat any more.


Children's safety and side inflatable pillow

Side pillows of Audi provide at side crashes being in the car additional protection.
For ensuring this protective function in case of collision the side pillow has to reveal for milliseconds.

At the same time the pillow develops very big force that can become the getting injured reason the passengers who are not occupying a direct pose or at stay in an area of coverage of a pillow of any objects.

It especially concerns children if they are transported not according to the existing rules.
ATTENTION

In order to avoid serious injuries always use systems of laying and a tension of seat belts corresponding to age, growth and mass of the child.


Fastening of a children's seat (ISOFIX system) *


On each of side back seats, between a back and a seat there are two holders (V) for fastening of a children's seat by means of the ISOFIX system.

Children's seats with system of fastening "ISOFIX" can be got on HUNDRED Audis.

Before installation of a children's seat establish the reception nest(s) which are included in the delivery package of "a children's seat" on holders (V) (address an illustration). It will allow not to damage a seat upholstery.


On an illustration already mounted reception nests with the fixing levers of a children's seat inserted into them are represented.

Now children's seats with system of fastening "ISOFIX" are offered for children with the body weight from 9 to 18 kg. It corresponds to age from 9 months to 4 years.

The detailed installation guide is included in the package of delivery of a children's seat.
ATTENTION

There is a possibility of the subsequent installation of system of fastening of a children's seat of "ISOFIX" on HUNDRED Audis.
