smash
the
child seat and child against the
backrest, center armrest, door or roof.
-
Always install rear-facing child seats on the
rear seat.
-
If you must install a rearward facing child
seat on the front passenger seat because of
exceptional circumstances and the
PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF
light does not come on
and stay on, immediately
install
the rear-
facing child seat in a rear seating position
and have the airbag system inspected by
your Audi dealer.
A
WARNING
Objects between you and the airbag will in-
crease
the
risk of injury in a crash by interfer-
ing with
the
way
the
airbag unfolds or by be-
ing pushed into you as the airbag inflates.
-
Never hold things
in
your hands or on your
lap when the vehicle
is
in use.
-
Never transport items on or
in
the area of
the front passenger seat
.
Objects could
move into the area of
the
front airbags dur-
ing braking or other sudden maneuvers and
become dangerous projectiles that can
cause serious personal
injury
if the airbags
inflate.
- Never place or attach accessories or other
objects (such as cup holders, telephone
brackets,
large,
heavy or bulky objects) on
the doors, over or near the area marked
"AIRBAG" on the steering wheel, instru-
ment panel, seat backrests or between
those areas and yourself.
These
objects
could
cause
injury
in a crash, especially
when the airbags inflate.
-
Never recline the front passenger's seat to
transport objects. Items can also move
into
the area of the side airbag or the front air-
bag during braking or in a sudden maneu-
ver. Objects near the airbags can become
projectiles and cause injury, particularly
when the seat
is
reclined.
- Never place or transport objects on the
front passenger seat. Objects on the front
passenger seat could cause the capacitive
sensor in the seat to signal to airbag system
Airbag
system
that the seat is occupied by a person when it
in fact
is
not, or that the person on the seat
is heavier than he or she actually is. The
change
in
electric capacitance because of
such objects can cause the passenger front
airbag
to
be turned on when
it
should be
off, or
can
cause
the
airbag to work in a way
that
is
different from the way
it
would have
worked without objects on
the
seat.
-
Always make sure that there is nothing on
the front passenger seat
that
will cause the
capacitive
passenger
detection system in
the seat to signal to the Airbag System that
the seat is occupied by a person when it is
not, or to signal that it is occupied by some-
one who is heavier than the person actually
sitting on the seat. The presence of an ob-
ject could cause the passenger front airbag
to be turned on when it should be off, or
could cause the airbag to work in a way that
is different from the way it would have
worked without the object on the seat.

WARNING
The fine dust created when airbags deploy can
cause breathing problems for people with a
history
of asthma or other breathing condi-
tions.
- To reduce the risk of
breathing
problems,
those with asthma or other
respiratory
con-
ditions should get fresh air right away by
getting out of the vehicle or opening win-
dows or doors.
- If you are in a collision in which airbags de-
ploy, wash your hands and face with mild
soap and water before eating
.
-
Be careful not to get the dust into your eyes,
or into any cuts or scratches.
- If the residue should get into your eyes,
flush them with water
.
