WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Audi A4 allroad and 2025 Audi A4 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The sensor for the seat occupant detection system must not be kinked.
A sensor must be replaced if it is damaged.
The mat, fleece, and all covers must be routed without folds.
Pay attention to the correct installation position of the seat cushion and seat cover during installation.
Replace all clips/upholstery clips and pay attention to the correct positioning on the seat.
Make sure that there are no objects on the seat before and during the basic setting.
Using seat cushions (such as pillows) impairs the function of the seat occupant detection system and therefore the effectiveness of the airbag system.
