If you had anyone in the rear seat recently it could have tripped the air bag light. Try moving around the front seats and make sure all the seat belts are fully retracted.
Other than that you need a VAG COM www.ross-tech.com to check the fault codes in the air bag control module.

That's cheap. We just paid 35.00 USD to have the bmw's reset after forgetting to reconnect the airbag connector before hooking the battery up. Took them all of 10 secs. I am assuming that 5 GBP = 7 USD.
