not go off when an adult who is not very

after taking the steps described above,
make sure t he adult is properly seated and
restra ined at one of the rear seating posi-
tions. Have the airbag system inspected by
your authorized Audi dealer before trans-
porting anyone on the front passenger seat.

erly

the system inspected immediately by your
authorized Audi dealer. It is possible that
the airbag will inflate when it is not sup-
