LATCH system (lower
anchorages and tethers
for children)
Child Restraint System anchors and how
are they related to child safety
To prov ide a simpler and more practicable way to
attach the child restra int on the vehicle seat,
F edera l regulat ions require specia l lower ancho ­
r ages in vehicles and devices on new child re­
straints to attach to the vehicle anchorages.
I n the United States, the combination of the
tether anchorages and the lowe r anchorages is
now genera lly called the LA TC H system for
" L ower Anchorages and Tethers for C hildren" . In
Canada, the terms "top tether" with "lower uni­
versal anchorages" (or "lower un iversal anchor­
age bars") are used to describe the system.
In other countries the term "ISO FIX" is used to
describe the lower anchorages .
Forward-facing child res tra ints man ufactu red af­
ter September 1, 1999, are required by U.S. fed­
eral regulations to comply with new child head
movement performance requirements. These
Ch ild safety
new per formance requirements make a tether
necessary on most new chi ld seats.
Installing a ch ild rest raint that requires a top
tether without one can seriously impa ir the per­
formance of the child restraint and its ab ility to
protect the child in a co llision. Installing a child
restra int that requires a top tether without the
top tether may be a violat ion of state law.
Child restraint manufacturers offer LATCH lowe r
anchorages on their child seats with hook-on or
push-on connectors attached to adjustable
straps.
In addition to the LATCH lower anchorages, these
child restraint systems usua lly require the use of
tether straps to help keep the child restra int
firmly in p lace.
_&. WARNING
Improper installation of child restra ints w ill
i ncrease the risk of injury and death in a
crash.
- Always follow the instructions prov ided by
the man ufacturer of the ch ild restraint you
inte nd to install in your vehicle.
- Never i nstall a chi ld restraint without a
proper ly attached top tether strap if the
child restraint manufacture r's instructions
require the top tether strap to be used.
-
- Improper use of child restraint LATCH lower
anchorage points can lead to injury in a col li­
sion. The LA TC H l ower anchorage points are
des igned to w ithstand only those loads im­
posed by correctly fitted child restraints .
- Never mo unt two child res traint systems on
one LA TC H lower anchorage point.
- Never secure or at tach any luggage o r othe r
item to the LA TC H l ower anchorages.

Lower anchorages secure the child restra int in
the seat without using the vehicle's safety bel ts.
Ancho rages prov ide a secure and easy-to- use at­
tachment and minimize the possib ility of improp­
er child restraint installat ion .
All child restraints manufact ured after Septem­
ber 1 , 2002, must have lower anchorage attach­
ments for t he
LATCH system.
Remember that the lower ancho rage points are
on ly intended for insta llation and attachment of
ch ild rest raints spec ifically certif ied for use wi th
LATCH lower anchorages. Child restraints that
are not eq uipped with the lower anchorage at­
tachments can still be installed in compliance
with the chi ld restraint manufacturer's instruc­
tions on us ing vehicle safety belts.
A WARNING
Improper use of LATCH lower anchorages can
cause ser ious persona l injury in an accide nt.
- Always carefully follow the ch ild restraints
manufacturer's instructions for proper in­
stallation of the child restraint and proper
use of the lower ancho rages or safety belts
in your vehicle.
- Never secure or attach any luggage or othe r
items to the
LATCH lower anchorages.

is in the upright position and securely latched
in place.
.,. Attach both hook-on connectors with the spring
catch release on the child safety seat onto the
LATCH lower anchorage so that the connectors
lock into place
¢ fig. 128 .
.,. Pull on the connector attachments to make
sure they are properly attached to the LA TC H
lower anchorage .
.,. Pull straps tight fo llowing the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions.
R ele asing
.,. Loosen the tension on the straps following the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions.
.,. Depress the spring catches to release the an­
chorage hooks from the lower anchorages .
Remember: Use tether straps to he lp keep the
child restraint firmly in place.
A WARNING
Improper use of the LATCH system can in­
crease the risk of serious personal injury and
death in an accident.
- These anchors were deve loped only for child
safety seats using the "LATCH" system.
- Never attach other child safety seats, belts
or other objects to these anchors.
Ch ild sa fety
- Always make sure that you hear a click when
latching the seat in place . If yo u do not hear
a cl ick the seat is not secure and could fly
forward and hit the inter ior of the vehicle,
or be ejected from the veh icle.
A WARNING
-Improper installation of child restra ints w ill
i ncrease the risk of injury in an accident.
-Always follow the ch ild restraint system

Tether anchors and tether straps
Fig. 129 Tether ancho rs: attac hmen t hook locatio ns be ­
hind the rear sea tbacks
The tether anchors for the rear seating positions
are located on the backside of the rear seatbacks
¢ fig . 129 .
A tether is a straight or V-shaped strap that at­
taches the top part of a child restraint to special
anchorage points in the veh icle.
T he 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
that could be caused by striking the vehicle inte-
rior.

Child safety
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
caus ing 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
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on and stay on, immediately install
the rear-facing child safety seat in a rear
150
seating position and have the airbag system
inspected by your Audi dealer.
Installing the upper tether strap on the
anchorage
Fig. 130 Tether strap: proper routing and mounting
Fig. 131 Tether strap: proper rout ing and mount ing
Installing the tether strap
.,. Release or deploy the tether strap on the child
restraint according to the chi ld restraint manu­
facturer's instructions.
.,. Guide the upper tether strap
under the rear
head restraint and into the rear cargo area
r:::;, fig. 131 (raise the head restraint if necessa­
ry). For child restraints with V-tether straps, al­
ways make sure that the head restraint guide
rods do not interfere with any part of the top
tether strap.
.,. Slide the tether strap hook over the anchor
bracket.
.,. Pull on the tether strap hook so that the spring
catch of the hook engages .
.,. Tighten the tether strap f irmly 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.
@ Note
If you leave the ch ild restraint with the tether
strap firmly installed for several days, this
could leave a mark on the upholstery on the
seat cushion 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 restraint system manufacturer's instruc­
tions carefully to determine how to properly in­
stall the tether.
A WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing child safety seat
installed on the front passenger seat w ill be
ser iously injured and can be killed if the front
airbag inflates -even w ith an Advanced Ai rbag
System.
- T he 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.
- A tight tether or other strap on a rearward­
f acing 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 Sys­
tem. The heav ier weight registered can
make the system work as though an adult
were on the seat and deploy the Advanced
Airbag when it must be supp ressed causing
serious or even fatal injury to the child.
-If you must install a rearward facing ch ild
safety seat on the front passenger seat be­
caus e of exceptiona l circumstances and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on and stay on, immed iate ly install
Child safety
the rear-facing child safety seat in a rear
seating position and have the airbag system
inspected by your Audi dealer.
