Airbag replacement must be inserted in service schedule in the case of vehicles with no sticker on B-pillar.

Vehicles converted to airbag sports steering wheel must be submitted for TÜV inspection. Proof must be provided that conversion work was carried out in an Audi workshop (invoice). Furthermore, the TÜV inspectorate must complete a certificate confirming that this steering wheel complies with the general type approval.
