& WA RNING (conti nued)
• A tight tether or other strap on a rearward-facing child
restraint attached to the front passenger seat can put too much
pressure on the weight -mat in the seat and registe r a hea vier
weight in the Advanced Airbag System . The heavier w eight regis
tered can make the system work as though an adult were on the
s eat and deploy the Advanced Airbag when it mu st be suppressed
causing se rious or e ven fatal injury to the child.
• If you must install a rearward facing child safety seat on the
front p assenger seat because of e xceptional circumstances and
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not come on and stay on,
immed iately install the rearward-facing ch ild safety seat in a rear
s eating position and have the airbag system inspected by your
authorized Audi dealer .•
