First have someone check the airbag system codes.The light will not stay out if there is a defect in the system.It's usually the drivers seat belt buckle or belt retractor switch.

most times the problem is the rotating contact under the steering wheel has a break in the wiring of the flat ribbon connector, the part is called a clock-spring airbag contact.

You need allen keys to do this. Remove the steering wheel and see that the connection is right.
Good luck.

Certainly not good to drive with airbag off, but it may just be a burned out fuse so check your fuse panel(s) for a bad fuse, which will cause light to come on.

When the airbag light is on it means a fault has occurred in the system and the airbag diagnostic monitor has disabled the system, the most common problem that turns the light on is a break in the connection to the steering wheel mounted airbag, this is due to a rotating ribbon contact that breaks under the steering wheel that connects the airbag to the wiring harness and the diagnostic monitor, the part is called th clock spring contact, a coiled up ribbon electrical contact that turns with the wheel

Only a VW technician has the software to reset air bag faults.
