- A tight tether or other strap on a rear-
ward-fac ing child restra int attached to
the front passenger seat can put too
much pressure on the weight-mat in the
seat and register a heavier weight in the
Advanced Airbag System . The heavier
weight registe red can make the system
wor k as though an adult were on the seat
and deploy t he Advanced Airbag when it
must be suppressed causing serious or
even fatal injury to the child.
- If you must install a rearward facin g
child safety seat on the front passenger
seat because of exceptional circumstan-
ces and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
light does not come on and stay on, im-
med iately install the rear-facing child
safety seat in a rear seating position and
have t he airbag system inspected by you r
Audi dealer.
