  • Seat covers or extra covers that are not approved specially for use on Audi seats with side airbags must not be used.
  • Do not cut the backrest material in side airbag area.
  • When installing, seam in side airbag region must run straight.
  • All upholstery clips must be replaced (metal and plastic clips).
  • We recommend using original upholstery clips.
  • During installation, all upholstery clips must be placed in the same place as when removed.
  • If cover is damaged (with rips, burned holes, etc.) in side airbag region, it must be replaced for safety reasons so that airbag deploys correctly.
  • Do not repair the backrest cover in the side airbag area (because of special materials and strictly defined seams).
  • Always replace the backrest upholstery if the side airbag deploys.
