are not equ ipped w ith the lower anchorage at­
tachments can still be installed in compliance
with the chi ld restraint manufacturer's instruc­
t ions on us ing vehicle safety belts.

or be ejected from the vehicle .
.&, WARNING
Improper installation of child restraints will
increase the r isk of injury in an acc ident.
- Always follow the child restra int system
man ufactu rer's instruct ions for proper in­
sta llation of the child restraint system and

Ch ild s afe ty
and the installat ion of child restraint sys­
tems
¢ page 249, Child safety .
(D Note
On vehicles with power adjustable rear seats*
some criteria must be observed when attach­ ing the child restraint using the
LATCH sys­
tem:
- To attach the child restraint securely, the
seat must be moved to the farthest rear po­
sition, the seat height set to the lowest po­
sition and the head restraint must be ad­
justed to the vertical position.
- If a child safety seat is attached to one of
the rear seats, th is seat must not be adjust­
ed using the power controls under any c ir­
cumstances. The
Entry as sis tance for this
sea t must also be deactivated in the MM I
¢ page 58. The child safety seat as well as
the rear seat can be damaged by the adjust­ ment process.
Tether anchors and tether straps
F ig. 250 Tether ancho rs: recess flaps behin d the rear seat­
backs
The tether anchors for the two* /three rear seat­
ing pos it ions are located in recesses in the rear
window
shelf ¢ fig. 250. Vehicles with two rear
seating pos itions* are equipped with two tether
anchors .
A tether is a straight or V-shaped strap that at­
taches the top part of a ch ild restraint to special
anchorage points in the veh icle.
The purpose of the tether is to reduce the for­
ward movement of the chi ld restraint in a crash,
in order to help reduce the risk of head injury
..,_
265

Child safety
that could be caused by striking the vehicle inte­
rior .
Forward facing child restraints manufactured af­
ter September 1, 1999, are required by U .S. fed­
eral regulations to comply with new child head
movement performance requirements. These
new performance requirements make a tether
necessary on most new child safety seats .
A WARNING
Improper installation of child restraints will
increase the risk of injury and death in a
crash.
- Always follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the child restraint you intend to install in your Audi .
- Improper use of child restraint anchors (in ­
cluding tether anchors) can lead to injury in
a collision . The anchors are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor­ rectly fitted child restraints.
- Never mount two child restraint systems on
one LATCH lower anchor point.
- Never attach two child restraint systems to
one tether strap or tether anchorage.
- Never attach a tether strap to a tie-down
hook in the luggage compartment.
- Never use child restraint tether anchorages
to secure safety belts or other kinds of occu­ pant restraints.
- Never secure or attach any luggage or other
items to the LATCH lower anchorages or to
the tether anchors.
- If a tether or other strap is used to attach a
child restraint to the front passenger seat,
make sure that it is not so tight, that it
causes the weight-sensing mat to measure
more weight than is actually on the seat.
- The heavier weight registered can make the
Advanced Airbag System work as though an
adult were on the seat and deploy the Ad­
vanced Airbag when it must be suppressed causing serious or even fatal injury to the
child.
- If you must install a rearward facing child
safety seat on the front passenger seat be­
cause of exceptional circumstances and the
266
'
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 .
Installing the upper tether strap on the
anchorage
Fig. 251 Tet her s trap: pro per routing an d mo unting
Installing the tether strap
.,. Release or deploy the tether strap on the child
restraint according to the child restraint manu­
facturer's instructions .
.,. Guide the upper tether strap under the rear
head
restraint ~ fig. 251 (raise the head re­
straint if necessary). For child restraints with V­
tether straps, always make sure that the head
restraint guide rods do not interfere with any
part of the top tether strap .
.,. Center seating position*: Guide the upper teth­
er strap over the rear head restraint.
.,. Tilt the recess flap up to expose the anchor bracket .
.,. Attach the tether strap anchorage hook into
the opening of the tether anchorage .
.,. Pull on the tether strap hook so that the spring
catch of the hook engages.
.,. Tighten the tether strap firmly following the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions.
Releasing the tether strap
.,. Loosen the tension following the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions .
.,. Depress the spring catch on the hook and re­
lease it from the anchorage.

" N .... 0 0 :c ' @ Note
If you leave the child restraint with the tether
strap firm ly installed for severa l days, this
could leave a mark on the upholstery on the
seat cush ion and backrest in the area where
the tether strap was installed . The upholstery
would also be permanently stretched around
the tether strap . This applies especially to
leather seats .
Using tether straps on rearward-facing
child restraints
Current ly, few rear-facing chi ld restraint systems
come with a tether. Please read and heed the
child rest raint sys tem manufacturer 's instruc­
tions carefully to determine how to properly in­
stall the tether .
A WARNING
A child in a rea rward-facing ch ild safety seat
installed o n the fro nt passenge r seat w ill be
ser ious ly injured and can be killed if t he fron t
airbag infla tes -even w it h a n Advanced A irbag
System.
- T he inflat ing air bag w ill hit t he chi ld safety
sea t or infan t carrie r wi th g reat force and
wi ll smash the chi ld safety seat and chi ld
against t he backrest, center armrest, o r

- A tight tether or other strap on a rearward ­
facing child restraint attached to the front
passenger seat can put too m uch pressure
on the weight-mat in the seat and register a
heav ier weight in the Advanced Airbag Sys­
tem . The heav ier we ight registered can
make the system wo rk as though an adult
