LATCH system (lower
anchorages and tethers
for children)
Child Restraint System anchors and how
are they related to child safety
T o provide a simpler and more practicable way to
a ttach the child rest raint on the vehicle seat ,
Federal regulat ions require special lower ancho­
rages in vehicles and devices on new child re ­
stra ints to attach to the veh icle anchorages .
In the United States, the combination of the
tether anchorages and the lower anchorages is now generally called the LATC H system for
" L ower Anchorages and Tethers for C hildren ". In
Canada, the terms "top tether " w ith "lower uni­
ve rsal anc horages" (or "lower un iversal anchor­
age ba rs") are used to describe the system.
In other countr ies the term "ISO FIX " is used to
describe the lowe r anchorages.
Forward-facing child restr aints man ufactured af­
ter September 1, 1999 , are required by U.S . fed ­
eral regulations to comply with new child head movement performance requi rements. These
new perfo rmance requirements make a tethe r
~ necess ary o n most new child seats . ..... N
~ Instal ling a child restraint that requi res a top .....
g tether wi thout one can serio usly impair the per­o: co
Ch ild sa fety
formance of the child restraint and its abi lity 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
anchorag es on th eir child seats with hook-on or
push-on connectors attached to adjustab le
s t raps.
In addition to the LATCH lower anchorages, these
c h ild restraint systems usua lly require th e use of
tether straps to help keep the child restra int
firmly in p lace .
A WARNING
Improper insta llation of child restra ints w ill
in crease the risk of injury and death in a
crash .
- Always follow the instructions prov ided by
the manufactu rer of the ch ild restraint you
inten d to insta ll in your vehicle .
- Never install a chi ld restraint without a
proper ly attached top tether strap if the
chi ld restrain t manufacture r's instructions
require the top te ther s tra p to be used.
- Improper use of chi ld restraint LATCH lower
anchorage poin ts can lead to injury in a coll i­
sion . T he LA TC H l ower anchorage poi nts are
des igned to w ithstan d only those loads im­
posed by correctly fitted child restrain ts .
- Never mo unt two child res traint sy stems o n

A tether is a straight o r V-shaped strap that a t­
t a ches the top p art of a ch ild rest raint to spe cial
anchorage points in the ve hicle .
T he purpose of the tether is to reduce the for­
ward movement of t he ch ild restrain t in a crash,
in order to help reduce the risk of head inju ry
that co uld be caused by striking the vehicle inte­
rior.
Forward facing child restra in ts manufac tured af­
ter September 1, 1999, are requ ired by U.S . fed­
er al reg ulations to comply with new child head
movement performance req uirements. These
new performance requ irements mak e a t ether

Child safety
-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 chil d 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 we ight-sens ing mat to measure
more weight than is actually on the seat.
- The heav ier we ight registered can make the
Advanced Airbag System work as though an
adul t were on the seat and deploy the Ad­
vanced Airbag when it must be suppressed ca using se rious or even fatal inju ry to the
child.
- If you must install a rearward fac ing ch ild
safety seat on the front passenger seat be­
ca use of exceptiona l circumsta nces and the
PAS SENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on and stay on, immediate ly install
the rear-fac ing chi ld safety seat in a rear
seat ing pos ition and have the airbag system
inspected by your Audi dealer.

would also be permanently stretched around
the tether strap. This applies especially to
leather seats.
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.
A 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 .
-A tight tether or other 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 Sys­
tem. 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.
- 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.

derstanding how a vehicle 's systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record da ta rela ted to ve­
hicle dynamics and safety systems for a short pe­
riod of time, typically 30 seconds or less . The
E DR in th is veh icle is des igned to record such da­
ta as:
- How various systems in your vehicle were oper­
at ing;
- Whether o r not the driver and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
- How far ( if at all) the dr iver was depressing the
acce lerator and/or brake peda l; and,
- How fast the vehicle was trave ling.
These da ta ca n he lp provide a better understand­
ing of the ci rcumstances in which crashes and in ­
juries occur. NO TE: EDR data are reco rded by your
vehicle only if a non-triv ia l crash situation occurs ;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are re ­
corded . H owever, other parties, such as law en­
forcement, could combine the EDR data w ith the
type of personally identify ing dat a routine ly ac­
q uir ed dur ing a crash invest iga tion.
To read data reco rded by an EDR, specia l equip­
ment is req uired, a nd access to t he veh icle or the
E DR is needed. I n add it io n t o the veh icle ma nu­
facture r, ot he r p arties, s uch as law enfor cement,
that have the specia l equipment, can read the in ­
formation if they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
Some state l aws restrict the retr ieval or down­
loading of data stored by EDRs insta lled in a vehi ­
cle for the express purpose of retrieving data af ­
ter an accident or crash event without the own ­
er's consent.
Aud i will not access the EDR and/or s imilar data
or give it to others -
- u nless the veh icle owner (or lessee if t he vehi­
cl e h as bee n leased) agrees; or
- u pon the officia l request by the po lice; o r
- upon the order of a court of law or a govern-

- Aud i may a lso use the data for resea rch about
vehicle operation and safety performance or
provide the data to a third party for research
purposes witho ut identify ing the specif ic veh i­
cle or information about the ident ity of its own­

data has been accessed .
Vehicle control modules
You r vehicle is also eq uipped w ith a number of
electronic control modules for various vehicle
systems, such as engine management, emiss ion
contro l, airbags, and safety be lts .
These elect ronic contro l modu les record data
during norma l vehicle operation that may be
needed by trained techn ic ians for diagnostic and
repa ir purposes . The recording capab ility of these
modules is lim ited to data (no sound is record ­
ed) . Only a sma ll amount of data is actua lly re­
corded over a very lim ited period of time, or stor­
ed whe n a system fault is de tected by a contro l
module . Some of the da ta s tored may rela te to
vehicle speed, direction, or braking, as well as re ­
straint system use and performance in the event
of a crash . Stored data can also only be read and
downloaded wit h specia l equipment that is di­
rectly connected to the vehicle.

page 225.

Checking and Filling
-Always let the engine cool down. Hot com­
ponents will burn skin on contact .
- To reduce the risk of being burned, never
open the hood if you see or hear steam or
coolant escaping from the engine compart­
ment. Wait until no steam or coolant can be
seen or heard before carefully opening the
hood.
- Keep children away from the engine com­
partment.
- Never spill fluids on hot engine compo­
nents . They can cause a fire.
- Never touch the radiator fan. The auxiliary
electric fan is temperature controlled and
can switch on suddenly.
- Never open the coolant reservoir cap when
the engine is still warm. The coolant system
is pressurized and hot coolant could spray
out .
- Protect your face, hands and arm from steam or hot engine coolant by placing a
thick rag over the cap when you open the coolant reservoir.
- Do not remove the engine cover under any
circumstances . This increases the risk of
burns.
- If work on the fuel system or the electrical
system is necessary:
- Always disconnect the battery.
- Never smoke or work near heaters or open flames. Fluids in the engine compartment
could start a fire.
- Keep an approved fire extinguisher imme­
diately available.
- To avoid electrical shock and personal injury
while the engine is running or being started, never touch:
- Ignition cables
- Other components of the high voltage
electronic ignition system .
- If you must perform a check or repair with
the engine running:
- First, fully apply the parking brake, move
selector lever of automatic transmission
to P (Park).
218
- Always use extreme caution to prevent
clothing, jewelry, or long hair from get­
ting caught in the radiator fan, V-belts or
other moving parts, or from contacting hot parts . Tie back hair before starting,
and do not wear clothing that will hang or
droop into the engine.
- Minimize exposure to emission and chemi­
cal hazards
