Audi A6 Typ 4G: Driver's and front passenger's footwell
Important safety instructions
Applies to: vehicles with knee airbags
WARNING
Always make sure that the knee airbag can inflate
without interference. Objects between
yourself and the airbag can increase the risk
of injury in an accident by interfering with the
way the airbag deploys or by being pushed into
you as the airbag deploys.
- No persons (children) or animals should ride
in the footwell in front of the passenger
seat. If the airbag deploys, this can result in
serious or fatal injuries.
- No objects of any kind should be carried in
the footwell area in front of the driver's or
passenger's seat. Bulky objects (shopping
bags, for example) can hamper or prevent
proper deployment of the airbag. Small objects
can be thrown through the vehicle if
the airbag deploys and injure you or your
passengers.
