WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Audi S6, 2018 Audi A6 Quattro, 2018 Audi A6, 2017 Audi S6, and 2017 Audi A6 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

After each repair to the front passenger seat where the seat and/or backrest cover was >>disengaged<<, a basic setting for the passenger occupant detection system control module must be performed using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system mat.
A leaking mat must be replaced (service kit).
Do not bend the passenger occupant detection system pressure hose.
Make sure the components in the passenger occupant detection system (service kit) do not fall onto hard surfaces, do not come into contact with grease and are not at risk of being damaged by sharp objects.
The mat, the fleece and all covers must be fitted without any folds.
Make sure the seat cushion and cover are positioned correctly when installing.
Replace all upholstery clips or clips and make sure they are positioned correctly on the seat. Be careful not to damage or clip the glued/sewn passenger occupant detection sensor with the upholstery clips.
The system basic setting can only be performed at temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C (32 and 104 °F)) for 8.R and 9.* airbags. The temperature must be between 5° and 35 °C (41° and 95 °F) for 10.* airbags.
Make sure that no objects are placed on the seat when performing the basic setting.
The use of additional seat cushions such as pillows impairs the function of the passenger occupant detection system and the operation of the airbag system.
The seat and all the passenger occupant detection system components must be dry when being installed. Moisture will negatively affect the passenger occupant detection system. If necessary, let the seat, the seat padding, the passenger occupant detection sensor and the seat cover dry out first.
Never disconnect the connector between the Passenger Occupant Detection System Control Module and the Front Passenger Seat Occupant Sensor. Refer to COMPONENT LOCATION OVERVIEW - PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM .
Do not pull on the passenger occupant detection sensor wire.
Standard seat/Sport seat/Super Sport seat: The passenger occupant detection sensor is glued to the seat cushion or the seat heating element on a replacement seat (Service Kit). Make sure there adhesive is smooth before installation, if necessary.
Multi-contour seat: the passenger occupant detection sensor for the passenger occupant detection system with seat heating element is sewn inside the seat cover on a replacement seat (Service Kit). Only the seat cover is replaced. Do not twist the seat cover.
