- A
sensor in the safety belt latch for the driver

A WARNING
Damage to the front passenger seat can pre­
vent the front airbag from working properly.
-
Improper repai r or disassembly of the front
passenger and drive r seat will prevent the
Advanced Airbag System from functioning
properly.
-Repairs to the front passenger seat must be
performed by qualified and properly trained
workshop personnel.
-Never remove the front passenger or driver
seat from the vehicle.
- Never remove
the upholstery from the front
passenger seat.
-Never disassemble or remove parts from the
seat or disconnect wires from it.
- Never carry
sharp objects in your pockets or
put them on the seat. The capacitive pas­
senger detection mat in the front p assenger
seat will not function properly if it is punc­
tur ed.
- Never carry
things on your lap or carry ob­
jects on the front passenger seat. Such ob­
jects can influence the capacitance regis ­
tered by the capacitive passenger detection
system, so that incorrect information is pro­
vided to the airbag control unit.
- Never
store items under the front passenger
seat. Parts of the Advanced Airbag System
under the passenger seat could be dam­
aged, preventing them and the airbag sys­
tem from working properly.
- Never place
seat covers or rep lacement up­
holstery that have not been specifically ap­
proved by Audi on the front seats.

-Seat covers can prevent the Advanced Air­
bag System from recognizing child re­
straints or occupants on the front passenger
seat and prevent the side airbag in the seat
backrest from deploying properly.
-If a seat heater has been retrofitted or oth­
erwise added to the front passenger seat,
never install any child restraint system on
this seat.
-Never use cushions, pill ows , blankets, or
simila r items on the front passenger seat.
The additional laye rs p revent the capacit ive
p a

measuring the capacitan ce of the child safe­
ty seat and/or the person on the seat and
thus keep the Advanced Airbag System from

- Never pl
ace or use any electrica l device
(such as a
laptop, CD player, electronic
games device, power inverter or seat heater
for child seats) on the front passenger seat
if the device is connected to the 12-volt
socket or the cigarette lighter socket. Such
dev i
ces can influence the capac itance regis­
tered by the capacitive passenger detection
system, so that incorrect information is pro­
vided to the airb ag control unit.

the rear-facing child safety seat in a rear
seating position and have the airbag system
inspected immediately by your Audi dealer.
A WARNING
-Forward-facing child seats installed on the
front passenger seat may interfere with the
deployment of the airbag and cause serious
personal injury to the child.
-If exceptional circumstances require the use
of a forward-facing child restraint on the
front passenger's seat, the child's safety
and well-being require the following special
precautions to be taken:
-Always make sure that the forward-facing
seat has been designed and certified by its
manufacturer for use on a front passenger
seat with a front and side airbag.
- Always carefully follow
the manufacturer's
instructions provided with the child seat
or infant carrier.
- Never install a child
restraint without a
properly
attached top tether strap if the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions
require the top tether strap to be used.
- Never
put the forward-facing child re­
straint up against or very near the instru­
ment panel.
- Always move
the passenger seat into its
rearmost position in the seat's fore and
aft adjustment range, as far away from
the airbag as possible before installing the
child restraint. The backrest must be ad­
justed to an upright position.
- Always
make sure that nothing prevents
the front passenger's seat from being
moved
to the rearmost position in its fore
and aft adjustment range.
- Never place objects on the seat (such as a
laptop, CD player, electronic games de­
vice, power inverter or seat heater for
child
seats). These may influence the elec­
trical
capacitance measured by the capaci­
tive
passenger detection system and can

A WARNING
f=
To reduce the risk of serious injury, make sure
that th e PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light
comes on and stays on whenever a child re­
straint is installed on the front passenger seat
and the ignit io n is switched on.
- Take
the child restra int off the front passen­

Child seats
Infant seats
Babies and infants up to about one year old and
20 lbs or 9 kg need special rearward-facing child
restraints
that support the back, neck and head
in a crash.
Fig. 166 Schemat ic overview : rearward -facing infant seat,
properly installed on the rear seat
"'When using the veh icle safety belt to install a
child
safety seat, you must first activate the
convertible locking retractor on the safety belt

weight to get the safety belt really tight so that
the seat cannot move forward and sideways

"'Secure unused safety belts on the rear seat
9page 217.
Infants up to about one year (20 lbs or 9 kg) are
best protected in specia l infant carriers and child
safety seats designed for their age group. Many
experts believe that infants and small children
should ride only in special restraints in which the
child faces the back of the vehicle. These infant
seats support the baby 's back, neck and head in a
crash 9fig. 166.
The airbag on the passenger side makes the front
seat a potentially dangerous place for a child to
ride. The front seat is not the safest place for a
child
in a forward-facing child seat. It is a very
218
dangerous place for an infant or a larger child in
a rearward-facing seat.
A WARNING
Not using a child safety seat, using the wrong
child safety seat or improperly installing a
child
restraint increases the risk of serious
personal injury and death in a crash.
- Never install rear-facing child
safety seats
or infant carriers on the front passenger
seat -even with an Advanced Airbag System.
A child will be seriously injured and can be
killed when the inflating airbag hits the
child safety seat or infant carrier with great
force and smashes the child safety seat and
child
against the backrest, center armrest,
door or roof~ page 189, Child restraints on
the front seat -some important things to
know.
-Always install rear-facing chi ld safety seats
or infant carriers on the rear seat.
-Never install a rear-facing child restraint in
the forward-facing direction. Such restraints
are designed for the special needs of infants
and very small children and cannot protect
them properly if the seat is forward-facing.
-
If you must install a rearward facing child
safety seat on the front passenger seat be­
cause of exceptional circumstances and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on and stay on, immediately install
the rear-facing child safety seat in a rear
