WARNING
Rearward-facing
child restraints:
•
A child in a rearward-facing
child safety seat installed on the
front passenger seat will be seriously injured and can be killed if
the front airbag inflates - even with an Advanced 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 be especially careful if you must install a rearward
facing child safety seat on the front passenger seat in exceptional
circumstances.
•
Make sure that the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on
and stays on all the time whenever the ignition is switched on.
•
Never install a rearward facing child safety seat on the front
passenger seat unless the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes
on and stays on. If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on and stay on 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. Have the
airbag system inspected immediately by your authorized Audi
dealer. •
Activating

Push the child safety seat down with your full weight to
get the safety belt really tight.
-
Insert the belt tongue into the buckle for that seating
position .
- Guide the safety belt back into the retractor until the belt
lies flat and snug on the child safety seat.
- You should hear a "clicking" noise as the belt winds back
into the inertia reel. Test the convertible locking retractor
by pulling on the belt . You should no longer be able to
pull the belt out of the retractor. The convertible locking
retractor is now activated.
-
Make sure that the red release button is facing away from
the child restraint so that it can be unbuckled quickly.

Pull on the belt to make sure the safety belt is properly
tight and fastened so that the seat cannot move forward
or sideways more than one inch (2.5 cml.

WARNING
Using the wrong child restraint or an improperly installed child
restraint can cause serious personal injury or death in a crash.
•
Always make sure that the safety belt retractor is locked when
installing a child safety seat . An unlocked safety belt retractor
cannot hold the child safety seat in place during normal driving or
in a crash.
•
Always buckle the child safety seat firmly in place even if a
child is not sitting in it . A loose child safety seat can fly around
during a sudden stop or in a crash.
