@ Tips
The chi ld seats listed in categories A to C have
been statically tested by Audi only for the Ad­
vanced Airbag function .
Important safety instructions for using
child safety seats
Correct use of child safety seats substantially re­
duces the risk of injury in an accident!
As the driver, you are responsible for the safety
of everybody in the vehicle, especially children:
~ Always use the right child safety seat for each
child and a lways use it properly~
page 22 7.
~ Always carefully follow the child safety seat
manufacturer's instructions on how to route
the safety belt properly through the child safe­
ty seat .
~ When using the vehicle safety be lt to install a
child safety seat , you must first activate the
convertible locking retractor on the safety be lt
to prevent the child safety seat from moving
~ page 232.
~ Push the child safety seat down w ith your full
weight to get the safety be lt rea lly t ight so that
the seat cannot move forward and sideways more than 1 in (2 .5 cm).
~ Secure unused safety belts on the rear seat
~ page 227.
Always remember: Even though your vehicle is
equipped with an Advanced Airbag system, all
children, especially those 12 years and younger,
should always ride in the back seat properly re­
stra ined for their age and size.
_&, WARNING
Not using a ch ild safety seat , using the w rong
child sa fety seat or imp roperly installing a
child restraint increases the risk of serious
personal injury and death.
- All vehicle occupants and especia lly children
must be restrained properly whenever riding
in a vehicle . An unrestrained or improperly
restrained child could be injured by striking
the interior or by being ejected from the ve­ hicle during a sudden maneuver or impact.
Ch ild safety
An unrestrained or improperly restrained
child is also at greater r isk of injury or death
through contact with an inf lating airbag.
- Commercially available child safety seats
are required to comply with U.S . Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213
(in Canada CMVSS 213) .
- When buying a child restra int, select one
that fits your chi ld and the vehicle.
- Only use child restraint systems that fully
contact the flat portion of the seat cush­
ion . The child restraint must not tip or
lean to either side. Audi does not recom­
mend using child safety seats that rest on
legs or tube-like frames. They do not pro­
vide adequate contact with the seat.
- Always heed all lega l requirements per­
ta ining to the insta llation and use of child
safety seats and carefully follow the in­
structions provided by the manufacturer
of the seat you are using .
- Never allow children under 4 ft
9 in (57 in/
1.45 m) to wear a normal safety belt . H ow­
eve r, the rear seat in the TT Coupe is de­
signed to permit children who are between
4 ft 3 in (1.3 m) and 4
ft 9 in (57 in/1.45 m)
tall to use the available three-point lap and
shoulder safety belts.
- Never let more than one child occupy a chi ld
safety seat .
- Never let babies or o lder children ride in a
veh icle while sitting on the lap of another
passenger.
- Holding a child in your arms is never a sub­
stitute for a child restraint system .
- The strongest person cou ld not ho ld the
ch ild with the forces that exist in an acci­
dent . The child will strike the interior of
the vehicle and can also be struck by the passenger.
- The child and the passenger can also in­
jure each other in an accident.
- Never install rear-fac ing child safety seats
or infant car riers on the front passenger
seat. A child w ill be seriously injured and
can be killed when the passenger a irbag in­
flates -even with an Advanced Airbag Sys­
tem .

Child safety
_& WARNING
Not using a child safety seat, using the wrong
child safety seat or improperly install ing a
child restra int increases the risk of serious
personal injury and death in a crash.
- Never install rear-facing child safety seats or infant carr iers on the front passenger
seat -
even with an Advanced Airbag System.
A chi ld will be seriously injured and can be
k illed when the inflating airbag hits the
child safety seat or infant carrier with great
force and smashes the child safety seat and
child against the backrest, center armrest,
door or roof
c::> page 198, Child restraints on
the front seat -some important things to
know.
- Always install rear-facing child safety seats
or infant carr iers on the rear seat.
- Never install a rear-facing child restraint in
the forward-facing direction. Such restraints
are designed for the spec ial needs of infants
and
very small children and cannot protect
them properly if the seat is forward-facing.
- If you must install a rearward fac ing ch ild
safety seat on the front passenger seat be­
cause of exceptional circumstances and the
PAS SENGER AIR BAG OFF~; light does not
come on and stay on, immed iate ly install
the rear-facing child safety seat in a rear
seat ing position and have the airbag system
inspected by your Audi dealer.
- Never place or use any electrical device (such as a laptop, CD player, electronic
games device, power inverter or seat heater
for child seats) on the front passenger seat
if the device is connected to the 12-volt
socket or the cigarette lighter socket.
- If a seat heater has been retrofitted or oth­
erwise added to the front passenger seat,
never install any ch ild restraint system on
th is seat.
- Make sure that there are no wet objects
(such as a wet towel) and no water or other
liquids on the front passenger seat cushion.
- Never place objects on the seat (such as a
laptop, CD player, electronic games dev ice,
power inverter or seat heater for child
228
seats). These may inf luence the electrical
capacitance measured by the capacitive pas­
senger detect ion system and can also fly
around in an accident and cause serious per­
sonal injury.
-Always read and heed all WARNINGS when­
ever using a child restrained in a vehicle is

Booster seats and safety belts
Properly used booster sea ts can help protect
children weighing between about 40 lbs and
80 lbs (18 kg and 36 kg) who are less than 4 ft 9
in (57 in/1 .45 m) tall.
F ig . 17 4 Rea r seat: chi ld p roper ly restra ined in a booster
seat
230
The vehicle's safety belts alone wi ll not fit most
children until they are at least 4
ft 9 in (57 in/
1.45 m) tall and weigh about 80 lbs (36 kg) .
Booster seats raise these children up so that the
safety be lt will pass properly over the stronger
parts of their bodies and the safety belt can help
protect them in a crash.
.. Do not use the convertib le locking retractor
when us ing the ve hicle's safety belt to restra in
a child on a booster seat .
.., The shoulder belt must lie as close to the cen­
ter of the child's collar bon e as possib le and
must l ie flat and snug on the uppe r body.
It
must never lie across the throat or neck. The
lap belt must lie ac ross the pelvis and never
across t he stomach or abdomen . Make sure the
belt lies flat and snug. Pu ll on the belt to tight­
en if necessary.
.. Secure unused safety belts on the rear seat
¢page 227.
Children up to at least 8 years o ld (over 40 lbs or
18 kg) are best protected in child safety seats de ­
s igned for their age and weight. Experts say that
the skeletal structure, part icu larly the pelvis, of
these children is not fully developed, and they must not use the vehicle safety belts without a
su itab le child restra int.
It is usually best to put these children in appro­
pr iate booster seats . Be sure the booster seat
meets a ll applicab le safety standards .
Booster seats raise the seating position of the
c hi ld and reposition both the lap and shoulder
parts of the safety belt so that they pass across
the chi ld's body in the right places . The rou ting of
the be lt over the ch ild's body is very important
fo r the child's protection, whet he r or not a boos ­
ter seat is used. C hildren age 12 and under m ust
a lways ride in the rear seat.
Never use the lap belt port ion of the vehicle's
safety belt alone to restra in any child, regard less
of how b ig the child is. A lways remember that
c hi ldre n do not have the pronounced pe lvic struc ­
ture requ ired for the proper function of lap belt

A WARNING
-The rear seat area is too small to safe ly
transport passengers taller than 4 ft 9 in
(57 in/1.45 m).
-
- Persons taller than 4 ft 9 in (57 in/1.45 m) as well as children in booster seats who are
too close to the rear window and roof can
suffer severe head and neck injur ies when
the rear lid is closed o r in a crash.
- The m inimum clearance betwee n the pas­
sengers' heads and the rear window must
never - under any circumstances - be less
than 1 in ( 2.5 cm) whe n the passenge rs s its
f ully up right .
- Always make sure tha t the rear seat passen­
gers canno t be str uck when the rear lid is
cl osed.
Booster seats on the front seat
Ch ild ren aged about 7 years and older and weigh ­
ing more than 55 lbs (25 kg) who are between
4 ft 3 in (5 1 in/1.30 m) and 4 ft 9 in (57 in/
1.45 m) tall may in exceptional circumstances
ride on the front passenger's seat. Children less
than 4 ft 9 in (57 in/1.45 m) tall must s it on a
certified booster seat and properly wear the vehi ­
cle 's three-poin t lap and shoulder safety be lt .
Always securely latch the passenger seat at t he
very rear of its fore and aft adjustment range.
The bac krest must be adjusted to an upr ight po­
sition .
A WARNING
If you must insta ll a booster seat ch ild re­
st raint o n the fro nt passenger sea t:
- Make s ure the booster seat has been de­
s igned and certified by its manufa ctu rer for
use on a front seat wit h a pas senge r fr ont
and side air bag.
- Alw ays follow the m anuf act urer's instruc­
ti on s prov ided with the boos ter sea t.
232
- Always move the passenger seat to the very
rear o f its fore and aft adjustment range, as
far away from the airbag as possib le.
- Always make sure that the passenger seat is
secure ly latched in place before instal ling
the booster seat. The backrest must be ad­
justed to an upr ight position .
- If the passenger seat cannot be secu rely
latched in the very rear of its fore and aft
ad justment range , then t he passenger front
airbag must be turned off with the ON / OFF

LATCH system (lower
anchorages and tethers
for children)
Child Restraint System anchors and how
are they related to child safety
To p rovide a s imp ler and more practicab le way to
attach the ch ild rest raint o n the vehicle seat,
Federal regulations require spec ial lower ancho­
rages in vehicles and devices on new ch ild re ­
straints to attach to the vehicle anchorages.
T he combinatio n of t he tether anchorages and
t h e lowe r anchorages is now generally called the
LATCH system for " Lower Anchorages and
T ethers for C hild ren." In Canada, the terms "top
tethe r" with "lower universal anchorages" (or
"lower universa l anchorage bars") are used to de­
scribe the system.
Forward-facing chi ld restrain ts manufactured af ­
ter September
1, 1999, are required by U.S. fed ­
era l reg ulations to comply with new child head
movement performance requ irements. These
new performance requ irements make a tether
necessary on most new child seats .
Installing a ch ild restraint that requires a top
tether without one can seriously impair the per­
formance of the ch ild restraint and its ab ility to
protect the child in a collision . Installing a child
restra int that requires a top tether without the
top tether may be a violat ion of state law.
Child restra int manufacturers offer LATCH lower
anchorages on their child seats w ith hook -on or
push-on connecto rs attached to adjustable
straps .
In add ition to the LATCH lower anchorages, these
child restraint systems usually requ ire the use of
tethe r straps to help keep the child restra int
firmly in p lace .
A WARNING
Imp roper installation of child restra ints w ill
i nc rease the risk of injury and dea th in a
crash.

Gasoline additives
A ma jor concern among many auto manufactur­
ers is carbon deposit build-up ca used by the type
of gasoline yo u use.
A lt hough gasoline grades d iffer from one manu ­
facturer to another, they have cer tain things in
common . A ll gasoline grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on vita l engine
parts, such as fue l injectors and intake valves. Al­
though most gasoline brands include additives to
keep engine and fuel systems clean, they are not
equally effective .
Aud i recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas­
oline. For more informat ion on TOP TIER Dete r­

- Do not smoke or have an open flame in the
area whe n fueling your vehicle or filling a
fuel conta iner because this increases the
risk of an explosion .
- Follow legal requirements when using, stor­
ing a nd transporting fuel containers .
- For safety reasons, we recommend not car­
rying fuel containers. The conta iner could be
damaged in an accident and leak fuel.
- If you must transport fuel in a fuel contain­
er, note the following:
- Never fill the fuel container with fue l
while it is in or on the vehicle. Static e lec ­
tricity is discharged when fi lling which can
cause the fuel vapors to ignite and in­
creases the risk of an exp losion. A lways
place the conta iner on the ground when
fill ing it .
- The fuel pump nozzle must be inserted as
far as possible into the filler opening on
the fuel container .
- If the fuel container is made of metal, the
fuel nozzle must always be in contact with
the container when filling it with f uel. Th is
prevents static electricity from discharg­
ing .
-Never spill fuel in the vehicle or the l ug­
gage compartment. Evaporated fuel is ex­
plosive and increases the ris k of se rious in­
ju ry o r dea th .
(D Note
- Remove spilled fue l from veh icle pa int im­
media tely, because it ca n damage paint .
- Never drive unt il the fuel tank is completely
empty . The irregular supply of fue l that re­
sults from that can cause eng ine misfires.
Uncombus ted fuel will ente r the exh aus t
system and increase the risk of damage to
the cata lytic converter.
@) For the sake of the environment
Do not overfill the fuel tan k, otherwise f uel
can leak o ut when the veh icle is warming up.
