senger seat and install it properly at one

- Never Let babies or older chiLdren ride in
a vehicle while sitting on the Lap of an-
other passenger.
- Holding a child in your arms is never a
substitute for a child restraint system.
- The strongest person could not hoLd
the child with the forces that exist in
an accident. The child will strike the in-
terior of the vehicle and can also be
struck by the passenger.
- The child and the passenger can also
injure each another in an accident.
- Never install rear-facing child safety
. seats or infant carriers on the front pas-
senger seat. A child will be seriously in-
jured and can be killed when the passen-
ger airbag inflates - even with an Ad-
vanced Airbag System.
- The inflating airbag will hit the child
safety seat or infant carrier with great
force and will smash the child safety seat
and child against the backrest, door or
roof.
- Always install rear-facing child safety
seats or infant carriers on the rear seat.
- Forward-facing child safety seats instal-
led on the front passenger's seat can in-
terfere with the airbag when it inflates
and cause serious injury to the child. Al-
ways install forward-facing child safety
seats on the rear seat.
- If exceptional circumstances require the
use of a forward-facing child restraint on
the front passenger's seat, the child's
safety and well-being require that the
following special precautions be taken:
- Make sure the forward-facing seat has
been designed and certified by its man-
ufacturer for use on a front seat with a
passenger front and side airbag.
_ Always carefully follow the manufac-
turer's instructions provided with the
child safety seat or carrier.
_ Always move the front passenger seat
into the rearmost position of the pas-
senger seat's fore and aft adjustment
range, and as far away from the airbag

WARNING
Not using a child safety seat, using the
wrong child safety seat or improperly in-
stalling a child restraint increases the risk
of serious personal injury and death.
_ All vehicle occupants and especially chil-
dren must always be restrained properly
whenever riding in a vehicle.
_ An unrestrained or improperly restrain-
ed chi Id can be injured or killed by be-
ing thrown against the inside of the ve-
hicle or by being ejected from it during
a sudden maneuver or impact.
_ An unrestrained or improperly restrain-
ed child is at much greater risk of injury
or death by being struck by an inflating
airbag.
_ Commercially available child safety seats
are required to comply with U.5. Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVS5)
213 (in Canada CMVSS 213).
- When buying a child restraint, select
one that fits your child and the vehicle.
- Only use child restraint systems that
fully contact the flat portion of the
seat cushion. The child restraint must
not tip or Lean to either side. Audi does
not recommend using child safety
seats that rest on legs or tube-Like
frames. They do not provide adequate
contact with the seat.
- Always heed alllegal requirements per-
taining to the installation and use of
child safety seats and carefully follow
the instructions provided by the manu-
facturer of the seat you are using.
- Never allow children under 4 ft. 9 in.
(1.4 m) to wear a normal safety belt.
However, the rear seat in the TT Coupe is
designed to permit children who are be-
tween 4 ft. 3 in. (1.3 m) and 4 ft. 11 in.
(1.5 m) tall to use the available three-
point lap and shoulder safety belts.
- Never let more than one child occupy a
child safety seat.
i
Tips
The child seats Listed in categories A to C
have been statically tested by Audi only for
the Advanced Airbag function.
Important safety instructions for usin91
child safety seats •
- Have the airbag system inspected by
your authorized Audi dealer immediate-
ly.
~
Always use the right child safety seat for
each child and always use it properly
qpage 138.
~
Always carefully follow the child safety seat
manufacturer's instructions on how to route
the safety belt properly through the child
safety seat.
~
When using the vehicle safety belt to install
a child safety seat, you must first activate
the convertible locking retractor on the
safety belt to prevent the child safety seat
from moving
qpage 143.
~
Push the child safety seat down with your
full weight to get the afety belt really tight
50
that the seat cannot mQve forward or
sideways more than one inch (2.5 cm).
~ If a strap or tether is being used to tie the
child safety seat to the front passenger
seat, make sure that it is not so tight that it
causes the weight-sensing mat to measure
more weight than is actually on the seat.
As the driver, you are responsible for the safe-
ty of everybody in the vehicle, especially chil-
dren:
Correct use of child safety seats substantially
reduces the risk of injury in an accident!
Always remember: Even though your vehicle is
equipped with an Advanced Airbag system, all
children, especially those 12 years and young-
er, should always ride in the back seat proper-
ly restrained for their age and size. ~
