opening of the tether anchorage.
> Pull on the tether strap hook so that the spring
catch of the hook is engaged.
> Straighten the backrest back up into its upright

lease it from the anchorage.
Remember: Use tether straps to help keep the
child restraint firmly in place.

ZA WARNING
Improper use of the LATCH system can in-
crease the risk of serious personal injury and
death in an accident.
— These anchors were developed only for child
safety seats using the “LATCH” system.
— Never attach other child safety seats, belts
or other objects to these anchors.
— Always make sure that you hear a click when
latching the seat in place. If you do not hear
a click the seat is not secure and could fly
forward and hit the interior of the vehicle, or
be ejected from the vehicle.


Z\ WARNING
Improper installation of child restraints will
increase the risk of injury in an accident.
— Always follow the child restraint system
manufacturer's instructions for proper in-
stallation of the child restraint system and
proper use of tether straps as well as the
lower anchorages or safety belts in your ve-
hicle.
— Always read and heed the important infor-
mation and WARNINGS about child safety
and the installation of child restraint sys-
tems > page 278, Child safety.

Using tether straps on rearward-facing
child restraints

Currently, few rear-facing child restraint systems
come with a tether. Please read and heed the
child restraint system manufacturer's instruc-
tions carefully to determine how to properly in-
stall the tether.

Z\ WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing child safety seat
installed on the front passenger seat will be
seriously injured and can be killed if the front
airbag inflates - even with an Advanced Airbag
System.
— The inflating airbag will hit the child safety
seat or infant carrier with great force and
will smash the child safety seat and child
against the backrest, center armrest, or
door.
— If you must install a rearward facing child
safety seat on the front passenger seat be-
cause of exceptional circumstances and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on and stay on, immediately install
the rear-facing child safety seat in a rear
seating position and have the airbag system

inspected by your Audi dealer.
