Safety
Seat belts must be worn on
every journey, even on short
trips in town. This applies to the
front and rear seats. To ensure
that the seat belts, belt tensio-
ners and airbags are fully effec-
tive, note the following points:
Children under 12 should travel
on the rear seat. They must be
protected by a child restraint
system which complies with the
European standard ECE R 44 and
is suitable for the child’s weight
and height. The safest place for
the child restraint system is
behind the front passenger’s
seat. Make sure that the system
is properly secured. The retractor
mechanism of the seat belts
can be locked to secure a child
safety seat.
Please observe the notes in the
Audi Owner’s Manual and refer
to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for the child seat.
Category 0 or 0+: For babies up
to about 9 months/10 kg and
infants up to about 18 months/
13 kg.
Category 1: For small children up
to about 4 years of age/18 kg.
Category 2: For children up to
about 7 years/25 kg.
Category 3: Children over 7 years
of age but less than 1.5 metres
tall are best protected by a
booster cushion in conjunction
with the three-point seat belt.
Adjust seat and sit in
correct position
The front seats should not be
positioned too close to the steer-
ing wheel or dashboard. Main-
tain a distance of at least 25 cm
from the steering wheel. It is im-
portant to sit in a normal, up-
right position and set the back-
rest so it is fully against your
back. The top of the head re-
straint should be at eye level
(or higher). Put your feet in a
comfortable position in the
footwell.
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).
