WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Audi A3, 2016 Audi A3, and 2015 Audi A3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Storage must conform to national legislation.
Transport must conform to national and international guidelines, whereby packaging, identification and shipping documents are controlled to the greatest detail.
Undeployed pyrotechnic components must be disposed of in an orderly manner, conforming to national legislation, in their original packaging! Direct questions to your importer.
Only pyrotechnic components, which have been ignited completely, may be disposed in industrial waste.

WARNING:

This does not apply to belt tensioners that function according to the Wankel pretensioner principle. These are to be treated like undeployed pyrotechnic components (such as airbags, seat belts, pyrotechnic battery components).
Reason: Workshop equipment cannot determine if Wankel belt tensioners have deployed all pyrotechnic materials.
