-Repairs  to  the  front  passenger  seat  must 
be  performed  by qualified  and  properly 
trained  workshop  personnel. 
- Never  remove  the  front  passenger  or 
driver  seat  from  the  vehicle. 
- Never  remove  the  upholstery  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 
passenger  detection  mat  in the  front 
passenger  seat  will  not  function  properly 
if it  is  punctured . 
- Never  carry  things  on your  lap  or  carry 
objects  on  the  front  passenger  seat. 
Such  objects  can  influence  the  capaci 
tance  registered  by the  capacitive  pas senger  detection  system,  so  that  incor
rect  information  is  provided  to  the  airbag 
control  unit. 
- Never  store  items  under  the  front  pas
senger  seat.  Parts  of  the  Advanced  Air
bag  System  under  the passenger  seat 
could  be  damaged,  preventing  them  and 
the  airbag  system  from  working  proper
ly. 
- Never  place  seat  covers  or  replacement 
upholstery  that  have  not  been specifical
ly approved  by Audi on  the  front  seats. 
- Seat  covers  can  prevent  the  Advanced 
Airbag  System  from  recognizing  child  re 
straints  or  occupants  on  the  front  pas
senger  seat  and  prevent  the  side  airbag  in the  seat  backrest  from  deploying  prop
erly . 
- If  a seat  heater  has  been  retrofitted  or 
otherwise  added  to  the  front  passenger 
seat,  never  install  any  child  restraint  sys
tem  on  this  seat. 
- Never  use  cushions,  pillows,  blankets,  or 
similar  items  on  the  front  passenger 
seat.  The  additional  layers  prevent  the  capacitive  passenger  detection  system 
from  accurately  measuring  the  capaci
tance  of  the child  safety  seat  and/or  the 
person  on  the  seat  and  thus  keep  the  Ad-
Airbag  system  151 
vanced  Airbag  System  from  working 
properly . 
- Never  place  or  use  any  electrical  device 
(such  as  a  laptop, CD player,  electronic 
games  device,  power  inverter  or  seat 
heater  for  child  seats)  on  the  front  pas
senger  seat  if the  device  is connected  to 
the  12-volt  socket  or  the  cigarette  light er  socket.  Such  devices  can  influence  the 
capacitance  registered  by  the  capacitive 
passenger  detection  system,  so  that  in
correct  information  is provided  to  the  air
bag  control  unit. 
- If you  must  use  a child  restraint  on  the 
front  passenger  seat  and  the  child  re
straint  manufacturer's  instructions  re
quire  the  use  of  a  towel,  foam cushion  or 
something  else  to  properly  position  the 
child  restraint,  make  certain  that  the 
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light  comes 
on  and  stays  on  whenever  the  child  re
straint  is installed  on  the  front  passen
ger  seat. 
- If  the 
PASSENGER AIR  BAG OFF light 
does  not  come  on  and  stay  on,  immedi
ately  install  child  restraint  in a rear  seat
ing  position  and  have  the  airbag system 
inspected  by your  Audi dealer. 
_& WARNING ~ 
If the  front  passenger  seat  gets  wet,  dry  it 
immediately. 
- If liquid  soaks  into  the front  passenger 
seat,  this  can  keep  the  airbag  system 
from  working  properly  and  may,  for  in
stance,  deactivate  the  passenger  frontal 
airbag.  If  this  happens,  the 
PASSENGER 
AIR  BAG OFF 
light  will  come  on  and  stay 
on  together  with  the  airbag  indicator 
light 
fl in the  instrument  cluster . 
- If  liquid  is  pooled  on  the  seat,  but  has 
not  soaked  in, this  may  also  keep  the  air 
bag  system  from  working  properly  and 
cause  the  passenger  frontal  airbag  to  be 
enabled  (turned  on),  even  though  there 
is a  properly  installed  child  restraint  sys-
tem  on  the  seat.  Wet  towels  or  other  wet  .,..
