& WARNING (continued)
• If exceptional circumstances require the use of a forward­
facing child restraint on the front passenger's seat, the child's safety and well-being require that the following special precau­
tions be taken:
-Make sure the forward-facing seat has been designed and
certified by its manufacturer for use on a front seat with a passenger front and side airbag.
- Always carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions
provided with the child safety seat or carrier.
- Always move the front passenger seat into the rearmost
position of the passenger seat's fore and aft adjustment range ,
and as far away from the airbag as possible before installing
the child restraint.
- Always make sure that nothing prevents the front
passenger's seat from being moved to the rearmost position in
its fore and aft adjustment range .
-Always make sure that the backrest is in the upright posi­
tion .
• Always buckle the child safety seat firmly in place even if a
child is not sitting in it. A loose child safety seat can fly around
during a sudden stop or in a collision.
• Always read and heed all WARNINGS whenever using a child
restrained in a vehicle is being used~
page 181, "Safety belts ",
~ page 190 , "Airbag system " and ~ page 215, "Child Safety".
& WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, make sure that the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on and stays on whenever a
child restraint is installed on the front passenger seat and the
ignition is switched on.
& WARNING (co ntinued )
• Take the child restraint off the front passenger seat and install
it properly at one of the rear seat positions if the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF light does not
stay on.
• Have the airbag system inspected by your authorized Audi
dealer immediately.
& WARNING
• A child in a child restraint installed with the LATCH lower
anchorages or with the standard safety belt on the rear seat may
play with unused rear seat safety belts and become entangled
resulting in serious personal injury and even death.
• Always buckle unused rear seat safety belts out of reach of chil­
dren in child seats and properly activate the convertible locking
retractor so that the child cannot unreel the safety belt from the
retractor. •

Convertible child safety seats
Properly used convertible child safety seats can help
protect toddlers and children over age one who weigh between 20 and 40 lbs. (9 and 18 kg)in a crash.

applicable to a LATCH
seat
Fig. 189 Schematic
overview: installation
of the seat using the
vehicle's safety belt
system
- When using the vehicle safety belt to install a child safety
seat, you must first activate the convertible locking
feature on the safety belt to prevent the child safety seat
from moving=>
page 225 or install the seat using the
LATCH attachments - Push the child safety seat down with your full weight to
get the safety belt really tight so that the seat cannot
move forward or sideways more than one inch (2.5 cm)
=>
page 225.
- If the child safety seat is equipped with a tether strap,
attach it to the tether anchors =>
page 232.
A toddler or child is usually too large for an infant restraint if it is
more than one year old and weighs more than 20 lbs . (9 kg).
Toddlers and children who are older than one year up to about 4 years
old and weigh more than 20 lbs. (9 kg) up to 40 lbs. (18 kg) must
always be properly restrained in a child safety seat certified for their
size and weight=>
page 222, fig. 188 and=> page 222, fig. 189.
The airbag on the passenger side makes the front seat a potentially dangerous place for a child to ride. The front seat is not the safest
place for a child in a forward-facing child safety seat. It is a very
dangerous place for an infant or a larger child in a rearward-facing
sea t.
& WARNING
Not using a child safety seat, using the wrong child safety seat or
improperly installing a child restraint increases the risk of serious
personal injury and death in a collision or other emergency situa­
tion.
• Children on the front seat of any car, even with Advanced
Airbags, can be seriously injured or even killed when an airbag
inflates. 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, door or roof. ..,

-L~C:_.!:h~ i~ld ~ S~ a:!: f~ e~ t~ y ~ ------------------------------------------
- Do not use the convertible locking retractor when using
the vehicle's safety belt to restrain a child on a booster
seat.
- Always position the shoulder portion of the safety belt midway over the child's shoulder . If you must transport an
older child in a booster seat on the front passenger seat,
you can use the safety belt height adjustment to help
adjust the shoulder port ion properly .
- Always make s ure that the shoulder por tion of the safety
belt never rests against or across the child's neck .
- Always make sure that the child can properly wear the lap portion of the belt low across the thighs or pelvis and
never over the stomach or abdomen .
Children up to about 40 lbs. (18 kg) are best protected in child safety
seats designed for their age and weight. Experts say that the skeletal
st ruct ure, particularly the pelv is, of these chi ldren is not fully deve l­
oped, and they must not use the vehicle safety belts without a suit­
able child rest raint .
Children who are at least 4 ft. 9 in . (57 inches/1.45 meters) tall can
generally use the vehicle's three point lap and shoulder belts . Never
use the lap belt port ion of the vehicle's safety belt alone to restra in
any child, regard less of how big the child is. Always remember that
childre n do not have the pronounced pelvic structure required for the
proper function of lap belt portion of the vehicle's three point lap and
shoulder belts. The ch ild's safety absolutely requires that a lap belt
portion of the safety belt be fastened snugly and as low as possible
around the pelvis. Neve r let the lap belt po rtion of the safety bel t
pass over the child's stomach or abdomen.
It is usua lly best to p ut these ch ildren in appropriate booster seats.
Be sure the booster seat meets all appl icable safety standards .
Booster seats raise the seating position of the child and reposition
both the lap and shoulder parts of the safety belt so that they pass across the child
's body in the right places . The rout ing of the belt over
t he c hild's body is very impo rtan t for the chi ld's p ro tect io n, whether
or not a booster seat is used. Children age 12 and under must always
ride in the rear seat .
In a crash, airbags m ust inflate with in a blink of an eye and with
considerable force. In order to do its job, the airbag needs room to
infl ate so that it w ill be t he re to protect t he oc cupan t as the occupant
moves forward into the a irbag.
A vehicle occupant who is out of position and too close to the airbag gets in the way of an inflating a irbag . When a n occupant is too close,
he or she will be struck violently and will receive serious or possibly
even fatal injury.
In order for the airbag to offer protection, it is important that all
veh icle occupants , espec ia lly any ch ild ren, who must be in the front
seat because of exceptional c ircumstances, be properly restra ined
and as far away from the airbag as possib le . By keeping room
between the child's body and the front of the passenger compart­
ment, the airbag can inflate completely and provide supplemental
protection in certa in frontal collisions.
& WARNING
Not using a booste r sea t, using th e boo ste r seat improp erl y, inc or­
rectl y installing a boo ste r seat or u sing the vehicle saf ety b elt
i mp roperly increa se s the risk of serio us per sonal injur y and death

& WARNING (continued)
• Always move the passenger seat into its rearmost position in
the seat's fore and aft adjustment range, as far away from the airbag as possible before installing the forward-facing child
restraint. The backrest must be adjusted to an upright position.
• Make sure that the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on
and stays on all the time whenever the ignition is switched on.
& WARNING
Rearward-facing child restraints:
• 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, door or roof.
• Always be especially careful if you must install a rearward
facing child safety seat on the front passenger seat in exceptional
circumstances.
• A tight tether strap on a rearward-facing child restraint
attached to the front passenger seat can put too much pressure on
the weight-mat in the seat and register a heavier weight in the
Advanced Airbag System. The heavier weight registered can make
the system work as though an adult were on the seat and deploy the Advanced Airbag when it must be suppressed causing serious
or even fatal injury to the child.
• Make sure that the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on
and stays on all the time whenever the ignition is switched on.
• If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not come on and
stay on, immediately install the rearward-facing child safety seat
in a rear seating position and have the airbag system inspected by
your authorized Audi dealer. •

The intensity of the color determines the visual characteristics and
appea rance. If the s urface of the leather has a typical natu ral look,
then the leather is a nappa leather that has been left in a relatively
natura l condition. This leather offers partic ularly good comfort and
breathes well. Fine veins, closed grains, insect b ites, sk in folds, and
subtle var iations in co lor remain visible. These character istics demon­
st rate that the mater ia l is nat ura l.
Natural nap pa leather is not covered by a color fin ish. It is therefore
mo re sensitive to soiling and we ar, which is some thi ng you need to
consider if children, animals or other factors mig ht prove to be partic­
ularly hard on the leather.
By contrast, leather types that a re cove red by a colo red fi nish layer
are more durab le . This has a positive effect on the leather's resistance
to wear and so ilin g in daily use. On the othe r hand, the typical charac­
teristics of natura l leather are barely or not apparent . However, this
does not mean that the leathe r itse lf is of inferio r quali ty.
Care and handling
Be cause of the exclusive na ture of t he types of leat her t ha t Audi uses
and their unique properties (such as sensitivity to oils, grease, soiling,
e tc. ), yo u will need to be somewhat c arefu l with these leat hers , a nd
a certain type of care is requ ired. For example, dark clothing mate­
r ia ls can dis co lor leather seats (especially if s uch cloth ing is damp and
was not dyed correctly). Dust and dirt particles in pores, folds, and
seams can have an ab rasive effect and can damage the leathe r
surface as well as weaken seams.
T he leather s ho ul d be cleaned regularly as needed . After having been
used for a relatively long time, your leather seats will a cquire a rich
aged f in ish. This is a characterist ic of natura l leather and a s ign of
t rue quality.
In order to maintain the value of this natural product over the life of
yo ur vehicle, you sho uld fo llow the recommendations below :
Safety first
0 Note
• To keep you r leat he r from b leach ing out, do not a llow it to be
exposed to bright s unlight for long periods of time . If yo u have to
leave t he veh icle parked o utside for long pe riods, cover the leather to
protect it from direct exposure to sunlight.
• Sharp objects on clot hing, such as z ippers, rivets or sha rp pieces
on belts can leave permanent scratches or scrape mar ks on the
surfa ce of the leathe r.
(I] Tips
• After ea ch t ime you clean the le athe r and at regular inte rvals, use
a leather preservat ive cream that contains UV-blockers and that
works into the leather . This cream will nourish and moistu rize the
leather, helping it to breathe and stay supp le. It also he lps to build up
a protect ive coa ting on the surface .
• Clean the leather every 2 -3 months, and clean any areas t hat get
so ile d.
• Remove fresh marks made by ballpoint pens, ink, lipstick, shoe
polish, etc. as soon as poss ible.
• Preserve the color of the leather as needed by using a special
c o lored leat he r car e cream to touch up a reas of uneven color. •
