Vehicles equipped with the Air bag
system have the word "AIRBAG"
stamped in the padded cover on the ste-
ering wheel. There is also a label on the
upper surf ace of the fro
tal collision occurring within the area
indicated in the left illustration. The Air
bag is not activated by minor frontal colli-
sions, side or rear collisions, by a rollover
or in cases where there is no conside-
rable impact on the front of the vehicle.
When the system is activated, the Air
bag, located in the steering wheel, fills
with a propellant gas, breaks open the
padded cover and inflates between the
driver and the steering wheel.
A fully inflated Air bag in combination
with a properly worn seat belt slows the
driver's forward movement thus reducing
the risk to the head and upper torso-see
illustration.

The system must be inspected if the
indicator light:
§ does not come on when the ignition
is switched on;
§ does not go out approximately 10
seconds after the ignition is switched on,
or;
§ comes on or flickers while driving.
If any of these conditions occur, have the
system inspected immediately by your
Audi dealer. If you do not do this, the air
ag may not function properly in case of
a frontal impact.
How the Air bag system works
The Air bag is activated by a severe fron-
collision. The seat belt is parti-
cularly important to help keep the driver
in the proper position for maximum Air
bag protection. The supplemental Air bag
system is not intended to deploy or pro-
vide added protection in side impacts, re-
ar impacts, rollover accidents or in less
severe frontal impacts.

The Air bag system consists of the follo-
wing components: an electronic control/
monitoring unit, an indicator light in the
instrument cluster (see page 51), and an
inflatable Air bag equipped with a gas ge-
nerator located inside the steering wheel.
The indicator light will light up for approxi-
