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 the airbag system
inspected immediately by your Audi dealer.
A WARNING
-Forward-facing child seats installed on the
front passenger seat may interfere with the
deployment of the airbag and cause serious
personal injury to the child.
-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 the following special
precautions to be taken:
-Always make sure that the forward-facing
seat has been designed and certified by its
manufacturer for use on a front passenger
seat with a front and side airbag.
- Always carefully follow
the manufacturer's
instructions provided with the child seat
or infant carrier.
- Never install a child
restraint without a
properly
attached top tether strap if the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions
require the top tether strap to be used.
- Never
put the forward-facing child re­
straint up against or very near the instru­
ment panel.
- Always move
the passenger seat into its
rearmost position in the seat's fore and
aft adjustment range, as far away from
the airbag as possible before installing the
child restraint. The backrest must be ad­
justed to an upright position.
- Always
make sure that nothing prevents
the front passenger's seat from being
moved
to the rearmost position in its fore
and aft adjustment range.
- Never place objects on the seat (such as a
laptop, CD player, electronic games de­
vice, power inverter or seat heater for
child
seats). These may influence the elec­
trical
capacitance measured by the capaci­
tive
passenger detection system and can

also fly around in an accident and cause
serious personal injury.
- Never place
or use any electrical device
(such as a
laptop, CD player, electronic
games device, power inverter or seat heat­
er for child seats) on the front passenger
seat if the device is connected to the 12-
volt socket or the cigarette lighter socket.
-
If a seat heater has been retrofitted or
otherwise added to the front passenger
seat, never install any child restraint sys­
tem on this seat.
-Make sure that there are no wet objects
(such as a wet towel) and no water or oth­
er liquids on the front passenger seat
cushion.
- Always
make sure that the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF light comes on and stays on

switched on.
-If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light
does not come on and stay on, immediate­
ly install the forward-facing child seat in a
rear seating position and have the airbag
system inspected by your authorized Audi
dealer.
- Always buckle
the child seat firmly in
place even if a child is not sitting in it. A
loose child seat can fly around during a
sudden stop or in a collision.

Always replace child restraints that were in­
stalled in a vehicle during a crash. Damage to
a child restraint that is not visible could cause
it to fail in another collision situation.
Advanced front airbag system and children
Your vehicle is equipped with a front "Advanced
Airbag System" in compliance with United States
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) ~
213

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Child safety
208 as applicable at the time your vehicle was
manufactured.
The Advanced Airbag system in your vehicle has
been certified to meet the "low-risk" require ­
ments for 3-and 6-year old children on the pas­
senger side and small adults on the driver side.
The low risk deployment criteria are intended to
reduce the risk of injury through interaction with
the airbag that can occur, for example, by being
too close to the steering wheel and instrument
panel when the airbag inflates. In addition, the
system has been certified to comply with the
"suppression" requirements of the Safety Stand­
ard, to turn off the front airbag for infants up to
12 months who are restrained on the front pas­
senger seat in child restraints that are listed in
the Standard.
Even though your vehicle is equipped with an Ad­
vanced Airbag
system, all children, especially
those 12 years and younger, should always ride
in the back seat properly restrained for their age
and size. 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 safety seat. It
can be a very dangerous place for an infant or a
larger child in a rearward-facing seat.
The vehicle's Advanced Airbag System has a ca­
pacitive
passenger detection system in the front
passenger seat cushion that can detect the pres­
ence of a baby or a child in a ch ild restraint sys­
tem on this seat.
The capacitiv e passenger detection system regis ­
ters the changes that resul t in an electrical field
when a ch ild , a child restraint, and a baby blanket
are on the front passenger seat. The change in
the measured capacitance due to the presence of
a child, a child restraint, and a baby blanket on
the front passenger seat is related to the child
restraint system resting on the seat. The meas­
ured capacitance of a child restraint system var­
ies
depending on the type of system and specific
make and model.
The electrical capacitance of the various types,
makes, and models of child restraints specified
by
the U.S.National Highway Traffic Safety Ad-
214
ministration (NHTSA) in the relevant safety
standard are stored in the Advanced Airbag Sys­
tem control unit together with the capacitances
typical of infants and a 1-year old child. When a
child
restraint is used on the front passenger
seat with a typical 1 year-old infant, the Ad­
vanced Airbag
System compares the capacitance
measured by the capacitive passenger detection
system with the data stored in the electronic con­
trol unit.
Child restraints and Advanced front airbag
system
Regardless of the child restraint that you use,
make sure that it has been certified to meet Unit­
ed States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
and ha s been certified by its manufacture r for
use with a n airbag. Always be sur e that the child
restraint is properly installed at one of the rear
seating positions. If in exceptional circumstances
you must use it on the front passenger seat, care­
fully
read all of the information on child safety
and Advanced Airbags and heed all of the appli­
cable WARNINGS. Make certain that the child
and child restraint are correctly recognized by the
capacitive passenger detection system in the
front passenger seat, that the front passenger
airbag is turned off, and that the airbag status is
always correctly si
gnaled by the PASSENGER AI R
BAG OFF light.
Many types and models of child restraints have
been available over the years, new models are in­
troduced regularly incorporating new and im­
proved
designs a nd older models are taken out of
production. Child restraints are not standardized .
Child
restraints of the same type typically have
different weights and sizes and different "foot­
pr ints", the size and shape of the bottom of the
child restraint that sits on the seat, when they
are installed on a vehicle seat. These differences
make it virtually impossible to certify compliance
with the requirements for advanced airbags with
each
and every child restraint that has ever been
sold in the past or will be sold over the course of
the useful life of your vehicle.
For
this reason, the United States Nat ional High­
way Traffic
Safety Administration has published a ..,_

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

"'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

"'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

.&_ 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.
