Child seats
Infant seats
Babies and infants up to about one year old and
20 lbs or 9 kg need special rearward-facing child
restraints
that support the back, neck and head
in a crash.
Fig. 166 Schemat ic overview : rearward -facing infant seat,
properly installed on the rear seat
"'When using the veh icle 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
9page 223.
"'Push the child safety seat down with your full
weight to get the safety belt really tight so that
the seat cannot move forward and sideways
more than 1 in (2.5 cm).
"'Secure unused safety belts on the rear seat
9page 217.
Infants up to about one year (20 lbs or 9 kg) are
best protected in specia l infant carriers and child
safety seats designed for their age group. Many
experts believe that infants and small children
should ride only in special restraints in which the
child faces the back of the vehicle. These infant
seats support the baby 's back, neck and head in a
crash 9fig. 166.
The airbag on the passenger side makes the front
seat a potentially dangerous place for a child to
ride. The front seat is not the safest place for a
child
in a forward-facing child seat. It is a very
218
dangerous place for an infant or a larger child in
a rearward-facing seat.
A WARNING
Not using a child safety seat, using the wrong
child safety seat or improperly installing a
child
restraint increases the risk of serious
personal injury and death in a crash.
- Never install rear-facing child
safety seats
or infant carriers on the front passenger
seat -even with an Advanced Airbag System.
A child will be seriously injured and can be
killed when the inflating airbag hits the
child safety seat or infant carrier with great
force and smashes the child safety seat and
child
against the backrest, center armrest,
door or roof~ page 189, Child restraints on
the front seat -some important things to
know.
-Always install rear-facing chi ld safety seats
or infant carriers on the rear seat.
-Never install a rear-facing child restraint in
the forward-facing direction. Such restraints
are designed for the special needs of infants
and very small children and cannot protect
them properly if the seat is forward-facing.
-
If you must install a rearward facing child
safety seat on the front passenger seat be­
cause of exceptional circumstances and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on and stay on, immediately install
the rear-facing child safety seat in a rear
seating position and have th e a irbag system
inspected by your Audi dealer.
- Never pl
ace or use any electrical device
(such
as a laptop, CD player, electronic
games d evice, power inverter or seat heater
for child seats) on the front passenger seat
if the device is connected to the 12-volt
socket or the cigare tte lighter socket.
-
If a seat heater has been retrofitted or oth­
erwise added to the front passenger seat,
never install any child restraint system on
this seat.
-Make sure that there are no wet objects
(such as a wet towel) and no water or other
liquids on the front passenger seat cushion. ..,.

A WARNING
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 manufacturer
for use on a front seat with a passenger
front and side airbag.
- Always follow
the manufacturer's instruc­
tions provided with the child safety seat or
infant carrier.
- Always move
the front passenger seat into
the rearmost position of the passenger
seat's fore and aft adjustment range, and as
far away from the airbag as possible before
installing
the child restraint.
-Always make sure that nothing prevents the
front passenger's seat from being moved to
the rearmost position in its fore and aft ad­
justment range.
- Always
make sure the backrest is in an up­
right position.
- Never place
or use any electrical device
(such
as a laptop, CD player, electronic
games device, power inverter or seat heater
for child seats) on the front passenger seat
220
if the device is connected to the 12-volt
socket or the cigarette lighter socket.
-
If a seat heater has been retrofitted or oth­
erwise added to the front passenger seat,
never install any child restraint system on
this seat.
-Make sure that there are no wet objects
(such
as a wet towel) and no water or other
liquids on the front passenger seat cushion.
- Never place objects on
the seat (such as a
laptop, CD player, electronic games device,
power inverter
or seat heater for child
seats). These may influence the electrical
capacitance
measured by the capacitive pas­
senger detection system and can also fly
around in an accident and cause serious per­
sonal injury.
- Make
sure that the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF light comes on and stays on all the time
whenever the ignition is switched on.
-
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does
not come on and stay on, immediately in­
stall the forward-facing child seat at a seat­
ing position on the rear seat and have the
airbag system inspected by your authorized
Audi dealer.
-Take the child restraint off the front passen­
ger seat and install it properly at one of the
rear seat positions if the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF light does not stay on whenever
the ignition is switched on.

.&_ WARNING
Not using a booster seat, using the booster
seat improperly, incorrectly installing a boos­
ter seat or using the vehicle safety belt im­
properly increases the risk of serious personal
injury and death in a collision or other emer­
gency situation. To help reduce the risk of se­
rious personal injury and/or death:
-The shoulder belt must lie as close to the
center of the child's collar bone as possible
and must lie flat and snug on the upper
body. It must never lie across the throat or
neck. The lap belt must lie across the pelvis
and never across the stomach or abdomen.
Make sure that the belt lies flat and snug.
Pull on the belt to tighten if necessary.
- Failure
to properly route safety belts over a
ch i
ld's body will cause severe injuries in an
accident or other emergency situation
qpage 180.
-The rear side of the child safety seat should
be positioned as close as possible to the
backrest on the vehicle seat.
-Children on the front seat of any car, even
with Advanced Airbags, can be seriously in­
jured or even killed when an airbag inflates.
- Never
let a child stand or kneel on any seat,
for example the front seat.
-Never let a child ride in the cargo area of
your vehicle .
- Always
remember that a child leaning for­
ward, sitting sideways or out of position in
any way
during an accident can be struck by
a deploying airbag. This will
result in seriou s
personal injury or death.
-If you must install a booster seat on the
front passenger seat because of exceptional
circumstances the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF light must come on and stay on, when­
ever the ignition is switched on.
-If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does
not come on and stay on, perform the
checks described q page 199, Monitoring
the Advanced Airbag System.
