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
tensioners and airbags are fully
effective, note the following
points:
SAFETY
Children under 12 should tra-
vel on the rear seat. They
must be protected by a child
restraint system which com-
plies with the European stan-
dard 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
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:Children over
7 years of age but less than
1.5 metres tall are best pro-
tected 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
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 footwell.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. The belts
should always be worn so
that they fit tightly (see illus-
tration).
