A WARNING
If exceptional circumstances require the use
of a forward-facing child restraint on the
front passenger's seat, the child's safety and
well-being require that the following special
precautions be taken:
- Make
sure the forward-facing seat has been
designed and certified by its manufacturer
for use on a front seat with a passenger
front and side airbag.
- Always follow
the manufacturer's instruc-
tions provided with the child safety seat or
infant carrier.
- Always move
the front passenger seat into
the rearmost position of the passenger
seat's fore and aft adjustment range, and as
far away from the airbag as possible before
installing
the child restraint.
-Always make sure that nothing prevents the
front passenger's seat from being moved to
the rearmost position in its fore and aft ad-
justment range.
- Always
make sure the backrest is in an up-
right position.
- 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 passenger seat
220
if the device is connected to the 12-volt
socket or the cigarette lighter socket.
-
If a seat heater has been retrofitted or oth-
erwise added to the front passenger seat,
never install any child restraint system on
this seat.
- Make sure that there are no wet objects
(such
as a wet towel) and no water or other
liquids on the front passenger seat cushion.
- Never place objects on
the seat (such as a
laptop, CD player, electronic games device,
power inverter
or seat heater for child
seats). These may influence the electrical
capacitance
measured by the capacitive pas-
senger detection system and can also fly
around in an accident and cause serious per-
sonal injury.
- Make
sure that the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF light comes on and stays on all the time
whenever the ignition is switched on.
-
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does
not come on and stay on, immediately in-
stall the forward-facing child seat at a seat-
ing position on the rear seat and have the
airbag system inspected by your authorized
Audi dealer.
-T ake the child restraint off the front passen-
ger seat and install it properly at one of the
rear seat positions if the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF light does not stay on whenever
the ignition is switched on.
