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:
SAFETY
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 pro-
perly secured. Please observe
the notes in the Audi Owner's
Manual and refer to the manu-
facturer's instructions 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: For children over
the age of 7 and between
1.30 m and 1.50 m tall. The
child should travel on a booster
cushion on the rear seat,
wearing the normal three-
point belt.
Adjust seat and sit in
correct position
It is important to sit in a normal,
upright position. Do not move
the front seats too close to the
steering wheel/ dashboard.
Make sure that the upper edge
of the head restraint is at least
at eye level. Keep your feet in
the footwell when the vehicle
is in motion.
Wear the seat belt
correctly
Make sure that the shoulder
section of the belt is posi-
tioned over the centre of the
shoulder, and move the lap
section as far down over the
hips as possible (see illustration).
The seat belt should always fit
closely. If it is slack, pull it tight.
