Airbag syste m
-Repairs to the front passenger seat must be
performed by qua lified and properly trained
workshop personnel.
- Never remove the front passenger or driver
seat from the vehicle.
- Never remove the upho lstery 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 passenger
seat will not function properly if it is punc­
tured.
- Never carry things on your lap or carry ob­
jects on the front passenger seat. Such ob­
jects can influence the capac itance regis­
tered by the capac itive passenger detection
system, so that incorrect information is p ro­
vided to the airbag control unit.
- Never store items under the front passenger
seat. Parts of the Advanced Airbag System
under the passenger sea t could be dam­
aged, preventing them and the airbag sys­
tem from working properly.
- Never place seat covers o r rep lacemen t up­
holstery that have not been spec ifically ap­
proved by Audi on the front seats.
- Seat covers can prevent the Advanced Air­
bag System from recogn izing child re ­
straints or occupants on the front passenge r
seat and prevent the side airbag in the seat
backrest from dep loying properly.
- If a seat heater has been retrofitted or oth­
erwise added to the front passenge r seat,
never install any ch ild restraint system on
this seat.
- Never use cush ions, pillows, blankets, or
similar items on the front passenger seat.
The add it iona l layers prevent the capacitive
passenger detection system from accurate ly
measuring the capac itance of the ch ild safe­
ty seat and/or the pe rson on the seat and
th us keep the Advanced Airbag System from
wor king p roperly.
- Never place o r use any electrical device
(s uch as a laptop, CD player, elect ronic
games dev ice, power inverter or seat heater
202
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 ices can influence the capac itance regis­
tered by the capacitive passenger detection
system, so that incorrect informat ion is pro­
vided to the airbag cont rol unit.
- If you must use a child restra int on the fron t
passenger seat and the child restraint man­
ufacturer's instructions requ ire the use of a
towel, foam c ushion or someth ing else to
proper ly posit ion the child res tra int, ma ke

A WARNING
If the front passenger seat gets wet, dry it im­
mediately .
-If liquid soaks into the front passenger seat,
this can keep the airbag system from work­
ing properly and may, for instance, deacti­
vate the passenger frontal airbag.
If this
happens, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ~'
light will come on and s tay on together w ith
t he air bag indica to r li gh t
El in the instru­
ment cluster .
- If liqu id is pooled on the sea t, but has not
soaked in, th is may also keep the airbag sys­
tem from wor king p roper ly and cause the
passenger fronta l airbag to be enabled
(turned on), even though there is a properly
installed child restraint system on the seat.
Wet towels or other wet things on the seat
cushion can have the same effect . If the
front passenger fronta l airbag is turned on,
