222 Child Safe ty
- Improper use o f child restraint anchors
(including tether anchors) can lead to in­
jury in a collision. The anchors are de­ signed to withstand only those loads im­
posed by correctly fitted ch ild restraints.
- Never mount two chi ld 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 ancho­
rages to secure safety belts or other
kinds of occupant restra ints.
- Never secure or attach any luggage or
other items to the LATCH lower ancho­
rages o r to the tether anchors .
-If a tether or other strap is used to at­
tach a child restraint to the front passen­
ger seat, make sure that it is not so
t ight, that it causes the weight-sensing
mat to measu re more weight than is ac­
t u ally on the seat .
- The heav ier weight reg iste red can make
the Advanced Airbag System work as
t hough an ad ult were on the seat and de­
ploy the Advance d Airbag when it must
be s uppressed causing serious or even
fatal injury to the child.
- If you must install a rearward facing
child safety seat on the front passenger
seat because of exceptional circ umstan ­
ces and the

light does not come on and stay on, im­
med iately install the rear-facing child
safety seat in a rear seating position and
have the a irbag system inspected by your
Audi dealer.

s talled. The upho lstery wo uld a lso be per­
manently stretched around the tethe r

Using tether straps on rearward-facing
child restraints
Currently , few rear-facing child restraint sys­
tems come w ith a tether . P lease read and
h eed the child restraint system manufactur­

A WARNING ,~
A child in a rearward -facing child sa fety
seat insta lled on the front passenger seat
w ill be seriously injured and can be k illed if

vanced Airbag System.
- The inflating a irbag wi ll hit the child
safety seat or infant carrier w ith great
force and w ill smash the ch ild safety seat
and child against the backrest, center
armrest, or door .
- A tight tether or other strap on a rear­
ward-fac ing child restra int attached to
the front passenger seat can put too much pressure on the weight-mat i n the
s ea t and regis ter a heavier we igh t in the
Advanced Airbag System. The heav ier
Child Sa fet y 223
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 ser ious or
even fatal injury to the ch ild.
- If you must install a rearward fac ing
child safety seat on the front passenger
seat because of exceptional c ircumstan­
ces and t he
