If the yellow airbag light illuminates on the instrument cluster display, follow these steps to clear the error using a diagnostic system like VCDS: first, connect the OBD2 cable to the diagnostic port located on the left side at the bottom of the dashboard and connect it to the PC. Keep the ignition on, select the vehicle type, wait for the connection to the ECU to download the existing errors, and click on the "Clear fault code" button, confirming with OK. At this point, check if the warning light has indeed turned off on the display.
