A WARNING
Children on the front seat of any car even with
Advanced Airbags can be seriously injured or
even killed when an airbag inflates. A child in
a rearward-facing child safety seat installed
on the front passenger seat will be serious ly
injured and can be killed if the front airbag in-
flates.
- 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, or
door.
- Always install rear-facing child safety seats
on the rear seat.

safety seat on the front passenger seat in
exceptiona l circumstances and the

sition and have the airbag system inspected
immediately by your Audi dealer.

front passenger seat may interfere with the
deployment of the airbag and cause serious
personal injury to the child.

of a forward-facing child restraint on the
front passenger's seat, the child's safety
and well-being require the following special
precautions to be taken:

seat has been designed and cert ified by its
manufacturer for use on a front passenger
seat with a front and side airbag.
