A
WARNING
,~
A child in a rearward-facing child safety seat
installed on the front passenger seat will be
seriously injured and can be killed
if
the front
airbag inflates - even with an Advanced Airbag
System.
-
The inflating airbag will hit the child safety
seat or infant carrier with great force and
will smash the child safety
seat
and child
against the backrest, center armrest, door
or roof.
-
Always install rear-facing child
safety
seats
on the rear seat.
-
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
seating
position and have the airbag system
inspected by your authorized Audi dealer.
-
Forward-facing child safety seats installed
on the front passenger's seat may
inter
fere
with the deployment of the airbag and
cause serious personal
injury
to the child
.
A
WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must
in-
stall a forward-facing child restraint on the
front passenger's seat:
-Always
make sure the forward-facing seat
has been designed and certified by its man-
ufacturer for use on a front seat with a pas-
senger front
and
side airbag.
-
Never put the forward-facing
child restraint
up against or very near the instrument pan-
el.
-
Always move the passenger seat
into
its
rearmost position
in
the seat's fore and aft
adjustment range, as far away from the air-
bag as
possible
before installing the for-
ward-facing child restraint. The backrest
must be adjusted to an upright position.
-
Make sure that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF
light comes on and stays on all the time
whenever the ignition is switched on.

stall a forward or rearward-facing child re-
straint on the front passenger's seat:
-
Improper
installation of child restraints can
reduce their effectiveness or even prevent

with an Advanced Airbag System.
-Always
carefully
follow
the manufacturer's

seat or carrier.
-
Never place additional items on the seat
that
can increase the total weight registered
