Seat belts must be worn on
every journey, even on short
trips in town. This applies to the
front aannddrear seats. To ensure
that the seat belts, belt tensio-
ners and airbags are fully effec-
tive, note the following points:
Adjust seat and sit in
correct position
The front seats should not be
positioned too close to the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Maintain a distance of at least
25 cm from the steering wheel.
It is important to sit in a normal,
upright position and set the
backrest so it is fully against
your back. The top of the head
restraint should be at eye level
(or higher). Put your feet in a
comfortable position in the foot-
well.
Wear the seat belt
correctly
Make sure that the shoulder
section of the belt is positioned
over the centre of the shoulder,
and move the lap section as far
down over the hips as possible.
The belts should always be worn
so that they fit tightly (see illus-
tration).
Safety

hind the front passenger's seat.
Make sure that the system is
properly secured. The retractor

Audi Owner's Manual and refer
to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for the child seat.

after a few seconds if you stop
the vehicle and leave your foot
on the foot-brake. The engine
starts again and the vehicle will
start moving as soon as you
release the foot-brake.

ment are in use.

30 kW (except when using the
kick-down feature).
Freewheel feature
