Jan 22, 2013 Does anyone know where to find the off switch for passenger air bag in the Q5? I have a manual in English and it says its in the glove box but it is. Passenger airbag in Audi Q5. You only ever turn off the passenger airbag when fitting a rear-facing baby carrier in the front passenger seat. You never switch it off in front of a forward. The A5 Sportback’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The G70’s standard manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.

Audi and the supplier opened an investigation, but by August 2018 a root cause of the problems still hadn't been found until engineers finally realized a connecting cable could suffer from oxidation.
Audi sent dealerships technical service bulletins that told technicians to wrap the cables with zip ties to interrupt the partial surface oxidation of the electrical shielding inside the cable harnesses.
In October 2018, Audi engineers confirmed the self-diagnosis software was too sensitive in case of surface oxidation on the electrical shielding of the cables.
However, Audi says it still 'remains unclear at this point though how the issue develops and why certain vehicles/models/model years show a higher claim rate than others and why some vehicles do not show any problems.'
According to the automaker, occupants will see illuminated warning lights if airbag malfunctions occur, and the systems will provide chimes and error messages that indicate the passenger airbags are turned off.
Audi dealerships will update the air bag control unit software when the recall begins September 15, 2019.
