Seat belts must be worn on
every journey, even on short
trips in town. This applies to the
front
aanndd
rear seats. To ensure
that the seat belts, belt tensioners and airbags are fully effective, note the following points:
Adjust seat and sit in
correct position
The front seats should not be
positioned too close to the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Maintain a distance of at least
25 cm from the steering wheel.
It is important to sit in a normal,
upright position and set the
backrest so it is fully against
your back. The top of the head
restraint should be at eye level
(or higher). Put your feet in a
comfortable position in the footwell.
Wear the seat belt
correctly
Make sure that the shoulder
section of the belt is positioned
over the centre of the shoulder,
and move the lap section as far
down over the hips as possible.
The belts should always be worn
so that they fit tightly (see illustration).
Safety
Safety of children in the vehicle
Category 1 Category 2Category 0
Children under 12 should travel
on the rear seat. They must be
protected by a child restraint
system which complies with the
European standard ECE R 44 and
is suitable for the child's weight
and height. The safest place for
the child restraint system is behind the front passenger's seat.
Make sure that the system is
properly secured. The retractor
mechanism of the seat belts
can be locked to secure a child
safety seat.
Please observe the notes in the
Audi Owner's Manual and refer
to the manufacturer's instructions for the child seat.

the vehicle and leave your foot
on the foot-brake. The engine
starts again and the vehicle will
start moving as soon as you
release the foot-brake.
