For
occupants who may be smaller, the
position of the belt should be adjusted by
placing the belt in the guide, if otherwise the
belt would run across the wearer's neck

ible Locking Retractor
(CLR)
The convertible locking retractor is neces
sary to secure child restraint systems.
The retractors for the front passenger's seat
and the rear seat three point safety belts are
equipped with an automatic locking feature
in addition to the emergency locking fea
ture.
If you need to install a child restraint system
on the front passenger's seat or on one of
the rear seats, it must be secured by use of
the belt after activating the locking feature
-see pages 32 and 51 for important safety
information related to the use of child re
straints on the front seat.
Activating the locking retractor
• Slowly pull the belt all the way out.
• Insert the belt tongue into the buckle for
tha t seating position (pull on it to check!)
a n d guide the rest of the belt with your hand
back in place; while doing this you should
hear a clicking sound. This sound signals
that the locking retractor has been acti
vated. SA
FETY FIRST
Deactivating the locking retractor
The locking retractor is deactivated by un
fas te n ing the safety belt and allowing the
safety belt to retract completely to its
stowed position. The safety belt can now be
used as an ordinary three-point safety belt
without the additional locking feature.
If a person sitting In the passenger
seat or rear wearing the safety belt
should activate the locking retrac
tor. then the safety belt must be un
fastened in order to deactivate the
locking retractor.
� WARN ING
Never unfasten the safety belt to
deactivate the locking retractor
while the vehicle is in motion. You
would not be protected at all and
could suffer serious injury in an ac
cident.

• Let the belt to wind up on the retractor as

tion.
24 Belt
tensioner
The retractors for the three-point safety
belts are equipped with belt tensioners.
Sensors activate the belt tensioners in fron
tal collisions when deceleration is high
enough. This tightens the belt and takes up
belt slack. Taking up the slack helps to re
duce forward occupant movement during a
collision.
The belt tensioner can only be activated
once. The belt tensioner will not be acti
vated if the safety belt is not in use.
Never let the belt remain extended
over a rear seat back that has been
folded forward. The rear belt ten
sioner will be activated unnecessar
ily in an accident and then have to be
replaced.
The belt tensioner will not activate in a light
frontal collision insufficient to actuate the
tensioner or in any side, rollover, or rear-end
collision. �W
ARNING
• Safety belt systems including
belt tensioners cannot be re
paired. Special procedures are re
quired for removal and installation
of this system. Therefore. any
work on the safety belt system
must be performed only by an au
thorized Audi Dealer.
• The belt tensioner system
works for one accident only. If belt
tensioners have been activated.
the system must be replaced.
Notes
• When the safety belt tensioner is acti
vated, a fine dust is released. This is normal
and is not caused by a fire in the vehicle.
• Observe all safety regulations if the ve
hicle or individual parts of the system, par
ticularly the safety belt or airbag, are to be
scrapped. Your authorized Audi Dealers are
familiar with these regulations and can per
form this service for you.

FETYRRST---------------------------------------------------
Activ ating the convertible
locking retractor
• Slowly pull the belt all the way out.
• Hold on to the safety belt while securing
the safety belt around the child restraint per
the instructions found in the child restraint's
owner's manual.
• Insert the belt tongue into the buckle for
that seating position. Pull on the belt to
make sure the safety belt is properly
fas tened.
• Guide the remaining portion of the belt
back in place, allowing the retractor to take
up the slack. Press the child restraint
against the seat cushion as you guide the
belt into the retractor so that the belt ten
sion holds the child restraint firmly in place.
• While the safety belt is retra cting, you
will hear a continuous clicking noise from
the retractor; that means that the convert
ible locking retractor has been activated.
52 •
To covert the safety belt into standard
use after the child restraint is removed, re
lease the tongue from the buckle and allow
the safety belt to fully retract again. The re
tractor will then operate in the normal emer
gency locking mode for the occupant re
straint.
�W ARNING
Always buckle the child seat firm
ly in place even if your child is not
sitting in it. A loose child seat can
fly around during a sudden stop or
in an accident.
Deactivating the convertible
locking retractor
The convertible locking retractor is deacti
vated by unfaste ning the safety belt (see
page 24). Allow the safety belt to retract
completely to its stowed position. The
safety belt can now be used as an ordinary
three-point safety belt without the addi
tional locking feature. If
the convertible locking feature has been
inadvertently activated, the safety belt
must be unfastened to deactivate this fea
ture. If the convertible locking feature is not
deactivated, the safety belt will gradually
become tighter and uncomfortable to wear.
The convertible locking feature must be de
activated to restore normal belt operation
and greater occupant comfort.
�W ARNING
Never unfasten the safety belt to
deactivate the convertible locking
retractor while the vehicle is in
motion. You would not be pro
tected at all and could suffer seri
ous injury in an accident.
