5afety belts
General notes
AlwayS wear safety belts!
Wearing safety belts correctly soves lives!
This chapter explains why safety belts are nec-
essary, how they work and how to adjust and
wear them correctly.
~
Read all the information that follows and
heed all of the instructions and WARNINGS.
A
WARNING
Not wearing safety belts or wearing them
improperLy increases the risk of serious
personal injury and death.
_ Safety belts are the single most effective
means available to reduce the risk of se-
rious injury and death in automobile acci-
dents. For your protection and that of
your passengers, always correctly wear
safety belts when the vehicle is moving.
- Pregnant women, injured, or physically
impaired persons must also use safety
belts. Like all vehicle occupants, they are
more likely to be seriously injured if they
do not wear safety belts. The best way to
protect a fetus is to protect the mother-
throughout the entire pregnancy.
Number of seats
Your Audi TT Coupe has two seating positions
in the front and two height-limited seating
Positions in the rear. Each seating position has
a safety belt. The rear seat area in your Audi
TT Coupe does not have enough room for pas-
sengers of all sizes. For reasons of safety, no
person taller than 4'11" (1.5 meters) should
ever ride in the rear seat area.
A
WARNING
Not wearing safety belts or wearing them
improperly increases the risk of serious
personal injury and death.
- Never strap more than one person, in-
cluding small children, into any belt. It is
especially dangerous to place a safety
belt over a child sitting on your lap.
- Never let more people ride in the vehicle
than there are safety belts available.
- Be sure everyone riding in the vehicle is
properly restrained with a separate safe-
ty belt or child restraint.
- Persons taller than 4'11" (1.5 m) as well
as children in booster seats who are too
close to the rear window and roof can
suffer severe head and neck injuries
. when the rear lid is closed or in a crash.
- The minimum clearance between the
passenger's heads and the rear window
must never - under any circumstances -
'be less that 1 inch (2.5 cm.) when the
passengers sit fully upright.
- Always make sure that rear seat passen-
gers cannot be struck when the rear lid is
closed.
