Safety belt position .
-Safety belts offer optimum protection only
when the seatback is upright and belts are
properly positioned on the body.
- Never attach the safety belt to the buckle
for another seat. Attaching the belt to the
wrong buckle will reduce safety belt effec­
tiveness and can cause serious personal in­
JUry.
-A passenger who is not properly restrained
can be seriously injured by the safety belt it­
self when it
moves from the stronger parts
of the body into critical areas like the abdo­
men .
- Always lock the convertible locking retractor
when you are securing a child seat in the ve ­
hicle

.&_ WARNING
Improperly positioned safety belts can cause
serious personal injury in an accident.
- The shou lder belt should lie as close to the
center of the collar bone as possible and
should fit well on the body. Hold the belt
above the latch tongue and pull it evenly
across the chest so that it sits as low as pos­
sible on the pelvis and there is no pressure
on the abdomen. The belt should always fit
snugly
¢ fig. 158. Pull on the belt to tighten
if necessary.
- A loose-fitting safety belt can cause serious
injuries by shifting its position on your body
from the strong bones to more vulnerable
I
soft tissue and cause serious injury .
- Always read and heed all WARNINGS and
other important information

Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when tech­
nical modifications are made .
Always consult an authorized Audi dealer before
starting work on any mod ificat ions.
This will help ensure that vehicle function, per­
formance and safety are not impaired
c> ,&.
Attempting to work on e lectronic components
and the software used with them can cause mal­
functions. Because of the way electronic compo­ nents are interconnected with each other, such
malfunct ions can also have an adverse effect on
other systems that are not directly involved. This
means that you risk both a substantial reduct ion
in the operational safety of your veh icle and an
in creased wea r of ve hicle pa rts
c> ,& .
Author ized Audi dealers w ill perform this work in
a profess ional and competent manner or, in spe ­
cial cases, refer you to a professional company
that spec ializes in such modifications.
.&_ WARNING
Improper repairs and modifications can
change the way vehicle systems work and
cause damage to the vehicle and serious per­
sonal injury.

If emergency repa irs must be performed else ­
where, have the vehicle examined by an au­
t horized A udi dealer as soon as possible.
