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

Safety belts
.&_ 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

Improperly worn safety belts
Incorrectly positioned safety belts can cause se­
vere injuries.
Wear ing safety belts improperly can cause seri­
ous injury or death. Safety belts can only work
whe n they are correctly posit ioned on the body .
Imprope r seat ing positions reduce the effective­
ness of safety bel ts and w ill even increase the
risk of inj ury and death by moving the safety be lt
to critical are as of the body . Imprope r seating
pos itions also increase the risk o f serious injury
and death when an airbag dep loys and strikes an
occupant who is not in the correct seating posi­
tion. A driver is responsible for the safety of all
vehicle occupants and especially for chi ldren.
Therefore:
,.. Never pe rm it anyone to assume an incorrect
sitt ing pos ition in the vehicle while traveling
¢ &_ .
.,&. WARNING
Improperly worn safety belts increase the risk
of ser ious perso nal injury and death whenever
a veh icle is being used .
- Always make sure that all veh icle occu pants
are correctly restrained and stay in a correct
se ating position whenever the ve hicle is be­
ing used.
- Always read and heed all WARNINGS and
other impo rtant
informat ion ¢ page 189 .

- Never use the screw driver hex head to
tighten wheel bolts, since the bolts cannot
attain the necessary tightening torque if you
use the hex head, potentially causing an ac­
cident.
- The factory-supplied jack is intended only
for your vehicle mode l. Under no circum­
stances should it be used to lift heavy
vehicles or other loads; you risk injuring
yourself.
- Never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised, which cou ld cause an accident .
- Support the vehicle securely with appropri ­
ate stands if work is to be performed under­
neath the vehicle; otherwise, there is a
po­
tential risk for injury.
- Never use the jack supplied with your Aud i
