LATCH Lower
anchorages and tether
for children
Child Restraint System anchors and how
are they related to child safety
To provide a simpler and more practicable way
to attach the ch ild restraint on the vehicle
seat, Federa l regu lations require specia l lower
anchorages in vehicles and dev ices on new
child restraints to attach to the vehicle ancho­
rages .
The combination of the tether anchorages and
the lower anchorages is now generally called
the
LAT CH system for " Lower Anchorages and
Tethers for Children ."
F orward-facing child restraints manufactured
after September 1, 1999, are required by U.S.
federal regulations to comply with new child head movement performance requirements .
These new performance requirements make a
tether necessary on most new child seats.
Installing a chi ld restraint that requires a top
tether without one can serious ly impair the
performance of the chi ld restraint and its abi l­
ity to protect the ch ild in a collision. Installing
a child restraint that requires a top tether
without the top tether may be a v iolation of
state law .
Ch ild restra int manufacturers offer LATCH
lower anchorages on the ir ch ild seats with
hook -on or push-on connectors attached to
adjustable straps .
In addition to the LATCH lower anchorages,
these child restraint systems usually require
the use of tether straps to help keep the child restra int firmly in place .
Tether ancho rage s
Your Audi Cabriolet is not equipped with a
LATCH system. It is no t equ ipped with top
tether anchorages. It is equipped with lower
anchorages only.
Your Cabriolet is equipped with the Active Rollover Protection System, which is integrat- ed into the backrest o
f the rear seat . The Ac ­
tive Ro llover Protection System dep loys up­
wards to he lp provide addit ional protection in
certain co llisions and crash s ituations. For this
reason, your vehicle is
not equipped with top
tether anchorages for use with forward -facing
child restra ints .
In Canada , provinc ial law requ ires that for­
ward-fac ing ch ild restra ints use both top teth­
er anchorages and lower anchorages; there ­
fore, it is
not possible to install a forward-fac­
ing ch ild restra int in this vehicle.
In the United States , child restraint installa­
t ion must conform w ith the child restraint
manufacture r's instructions . Check the in­
structions that come w ith the child restra int
o r contact the manufactu rer to determine if
the ch ild restraint may be insta lled fac ing fo r­
ward witho ut securing the top tether s trap .
A WARNING
=
Improper installation of child restraints
will increase the r isk of injury and death in
a crash.
- Always follow the instr uctions provided
by the manufacturer of the child re­
straint you intend to install in your vehi­
cle.
- Improper use of child restraint LATCH
lower anchorage points can lead to injury
in a collision. The LATC H lower anchorage
points are designed to withstand on ly
those loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints.
- Never mount two child restra int systems
on one LATC H lower anchorage point .
- Never secure or attach any luggage or other item to the LATCH lower anchorag­
es .
(D Tips
In other countries, the term "ISOFIX" is
used to describe the lower anchorages .

.. Loosen the te nsion on the straps following
the chi ld restraint ma nufactu re r's instr uc­
t ions.
.. Depress the sp ring catc hes to re lease the
anchorage hooks from the lower anc horag­
es.
Remember: Use tether st raps to help keep the
chi ld restraint firmly in p lace .
A WARNING
Improper use of the LATC H system can in­
crease the risk of ser ious personal inj ury
and death in an acc ident. -
These anchors were deve loped only for
child safety seats using the "LATCH" sys­
tem.
- Never attach other ch ild safety seats,
be lts or other objects to these a nchors.
- Always make sure that you hear a click
when latch ing the seat in p lace. If you do
not hear a cl ick t he seat is not sec ure and
could fly forward and hit the inter ior of
the vehicle, or be ejected from the vehi­
cle .
A WARNING
=
Imp roper installat io n of child restra ints
will i ncrease the r isk of injury i n an acci­
d ent.
- Always follow the chi ld restraint system
manufac turer's inst ru ct ions for p roper
installa tion of the c hild restr aint system
a nd pro per use of te t her s traps as well as
the lower anchorages or safety belts in
your ve hicle.
- A lways read and heed the important in ­
formation and WA RNI NGS about ch ild
safety and the insta llation of ch ild re­
straint systems

ty .
Using tether straps on rearward-facing
, child restraints
-
C ur rently, few rea rward-facing chi ld restraint
systems come w it h a tet her. P lease read and
heed the ch ild restra int system m anufactu r­
er's instr uctions carefully to determine how to
properly install the tether.
A WARNING
= -
A child in a rearward-fac ing c hild safety
seat installed on the front passenger seat
will be ser ious ly injured and can be killed if
the front airbag inflates -even with an Ad­
vanced A irbag System .
- The inflating airbag will h it the c hild
safety seat or infant carrier with great
force and will smash the child safe ty seat _..

178 Intelligent technology
operate, such as the inter ior lights or the
power seat adjustment. The convenience
functions will be ava ilable again when you
switch on the ignit ion and start the engine.
With th e engine turn ed off
If yo u listen to the radio, for example, with
the engine turned off or use other MMI fu nc­
tions, the battery is being discharged .
I f sta rting capabi lity is jeopa rdized due to en ­
e rgy consumpt ion, the fo llowing warning ap­
pears in the MMI display:
Please start the eng ine soon or th e syste m
will be turned off .
The warning ind icates that the system will be
turned off automatically after 3 m inutes. If
you wish to con tinue us ing t he functions, you
have to s tart the engi ne.
With the engine running
A lthough electrical energy is generated when
the veh icle is be ing dr iven, the battery can be­
come discharged . T his happens most ly when
little energy is be ing generated a nd a great
deal consumed and the battery 's state o f
charge is no t optima l.
To br ing the energy balance back into equili­
b rium, consumers which require especially
l arge amo unts of energy are tempo rari ly cut
back or switched off. Heating sys tems in par­
ticular require a great dea l of energy . If you
notice, for example, that the heated seats* or
the heated rear window are not heating, they have been temporar ily cut back or switched
off. These systems will be ava ilable again as
soon as the energy ba lance has been restored.
You will a lso notice that engine idle speed has
been increased slightly. This is norma l and not
a cause for concern . By increasing engine idle
speed the add itiona l energy required is gener­
ated and the batte ry is charged .

212 Tires and wheels
-If you notice unusual vibra­
tion or if the vehicle pulls to
one side when driving, al­
ways stop as soon as it is
safe to do so and check the
wheels and tires for dam­
age.
0 Note
-Please note that summer and winter tires are de­
signed for the conditions
that are typical in those sea­
sons. Audi recommends us­
ing winter tires during the
winter months. Low tem­ peratures significantly de­
crease the elasticity of
summer tires, which affects
traction and braking ability. If summer tires are used
in
very cold temperatures, cracks can form on the tread
bars, resulting in perma­
nent tire damage that can
cause loud driving noise and
unbalanced tires. Audi is not
responsible for this type of
damage.
-Burnished, polished or chromed rims must not be used in winter road condi­
tions. The surface of the
rims does not have suffi­
cient corrosion protection
for this and could be perma­
nently damaged by road salt
or similar substances.
Glossary of tire and loading terminology
Accessory weight
means the combined weight (in
excess of those standard items
which may be replaced) of auto­ matic transmission, power
steering, power brakes, power
windows, power seats , radio,
and heater, to the extent that
these items are available as fac­
tory-installed equipment (whether installed or not).
Aspect ratio
means the ratio of the height to
the width of the tire in percent.
Numbers of 55 or lower indi­
cate a low sidewall for im­
proved steering response and
better overall handling on dry
pavement.
