(continued)
• Never let any person ride with their feet on the instrument
panel or

Never remove a safety belt while the
vehicle
is moving. Doing
so will increase your risk of being injured or killed.

Never wear belts twisted.

Never wear belts over rigid or breakable objects in or on your

otherwise out of position

Several layers of heavy clothing may
interfere
with correct
positioning of belts and reduce the overall effectiveness of the
system.
•
Always keep belt buckles free of anything that may prevent the
buckle from latching securely.
• Never
use comfort clips or devices that create slack in the
shoulder
belt.
However,
special clips may be required for the
proper use of some child restraint systems.
•
Torn or frayed safety belts can tear, and damaged belt hard-
ware can break in an accident. Inspect belts regularly. If webbing,
bindings, buckles, or retractors are damaged, have belts replaced
by
an authorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
•
Safety belts that have been worn and loaded in an accident
must be
repla
ced
with the correct replacement safety belt by an
authorized Audi dealer. Replacement may be necessary even if
damage cannot be
clearly
seen. Anchorages that were loaded
must also be inspected.
•
Never
remove,
modify, disassemble, or try to repair the safety
belts yourself.
