A
WARNING
Not
wearing safety belts or wearing them
im-
properly increases the risk of serious personal
injury and death.
-
Safety belts are the single most effective
means available to reduce the risk of serious
injury and
death in
automobile accidents.
For your protection and that of your
passen-
gers,
always
correctly wear safety belts
when
the
veh icle is
moving.
-
Pregnant
women, injured,
or
physically im-
paired 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 has a total of four seating positions:
two in the front and two in the rear. Each seating
position has a safety belt.
A
WARNING
Not
wearing safety belts or wearing them im-
properly
increases the risk
of serious personal
injury
and
death.

Never strap more than one person, includ-
ing small
children,
into
any
belt. It is espe-
cially 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.
