WARNING
Improper care, servicing and repair procedures can increase the
risk of personal injury and death by preventing an airbag from
deploying when needed or deploying an airbag unexpectedly:
•
Never cover, obstruct , or change the steering wheel horn pad
or airbag cover or the instrument
panel or modify them in any way .
•
Never attach any objects such as cup holders or telephone
mountings to the surfaces covering the airbag units.
•
For cleaning the horn pad or instrument
panel , use only a soft ,
dry cloth or one moistened with plain water . Solvents or cleaners
could damage the airbag cover or change the stiffness or strength
of the material so that the airbag cannot deploy and protect prop -
erly .
•
Never repair , adjust, or change any parts of the airbag system.
•
All work on the steering wheel , instrument
panel, front seats or
electrical system (including the installation
of audio equipment,
cellular telephones and CB radios, etc .I must be performed by a
qualified technician who has the training and special equipment
necessary .
•
For any work on the airbag system , we strongly recommend
that you see your authorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
•
Never modify the front bumper or parts of the vehicle body.
•
Always make sure that the side airbag can inflate without inter -
ference:
- Never install seat covers or replacement upholstery over the
front seatbacks that have not been specifically approved by
Audi .
- Never use additional seat cushions that cover the areas
where the side airbags inflate.
