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.
-All vehicle occupants and especially children
must be restrained properly whenever riding
in a vehicle. An unrestrained or improperly
restrained child could be injured by striking
the interior or by being ejected from the ve­
hicle during a sudden maneuver or impact.
An unrestrained or improperly restrained
child is also at greater risk of injury or death
through contact with an inflating airbag.
- Commercially available child
safety seats
are required to comply with U.S. Federal
Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213
(in Canada CMVSS 213).
-When buying a child restraint, select one
that fits your child and the vehicle.
- Only
use child restraint systems that fully
contact the flat portion of the seat cush­
ion. The child restraint must not tip or
lean to either side. Audi does not recom­
mend using child safety seats that rest on
legs or tube-like frames. They do not pro­
vide adequate contact with the seat.
-Always heed all legal requirements per­
taining to the installation and use of child
safety seats and carefully follow the in­
structions provided by the manufacturer
of the seat you are using.
- Never allow children
under 4 ft 9 in (57 in/
1.45 m) to wear a normal safety belt. How­
ever, the rear seat in the TT Coupe is de-
216
signed to permit children who are between
4 ft 3 in (1.3 m) and 4 ft 9 in (57 in/1.45 m)
tall to use the available three-point lap and
shoulder safety belts .
- Never
let more than one child occupy a child
safety seat.
- Never let babies or older children ride in a
vehicle while
sitting on the lap of another
passenger.
-Holding a child in your arms is never a sub­
stitute for a child restraint system.
- The strongest person could not hold the
child with the forces that exist in an acci­
dent. The child will strike the interior of
the vehicle and can also be struck by the
passenger.
-The child and the passenger can also in­
jure each other in an accident.
- Never
install rear-facing child safety seats
or infant carriers on the front passenger
seat. A child will be seriously injured and
can be killed
when the passenger airbag in­
flates -even with an Advanced Airbag Sys­
tem.
-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, center armrest, door
or roof.
- Always install
rear-facing child safety seats
or infant carriers on the rear seat.
- Forward-facing child
safety seats installed
on
the front passenger's seat can interfere
with the airbag when it inflates and cause
serious injury to the child. Always install for­
ward-facing child safety seats on the rear
seat.
-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 manu­
facturer for use on a front seat with a pas-
senger front and side airbag. Ill>

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

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
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. ..,.

Catalytic converter
It is very important that your emission control
system (catalytic converter) is functioning prop­
erly to ensure
that your vehicle is running in on
environmentally sound manner.
.,.. Always use lead-free gasoline Q page 231, Gas­
oline grade .
.. Never run the tank down all the way to empty.
.. Never put too m uch motor oil in your engine
Q page 240, Adding engine oil "t::r..
.. Never try to push-or tow-start your vehicle.
The
catal ytic converter is an efficient "clean-up"
device built into the exhaust system of the vehi­
cle. The catalytic
converter burns many of the
pollutants in the exhaust gas before they are re­
leased into
the atmosphere .
Checking and Filling
The exclusive use of unleaded fuel is critically im­
portant for the life of the catalytic converter and
proper functioning of the engine.
A WARNING
f= - I
The temperature of the exhaust system is
high, both when driving and after stopping
the engine.
- Never
touch the exhaust tail pipes once they
have become hot. This could result in burns.
-Do not park or operate the vehicle in a reas
where the hot exhaust system may come in
contact with dry grass, brush, fuel spill or
other material which can cause a fire .
-
Do not appl y additional undercoating or
r ustproofing on or near the exhaust mani­
fold, exhau
st pipes, catalytic converter or
heat shields. During driving, the substance
used for un dercoating could overheat and
cause a fire.
CD Note
-Be aware that just one tank filli ng with
leaded fuel w ill already seriously degrade
the performance of th e c atalytic converter .
-
Do not exceed the correct engine oil leve l
Qpoge240 .
-Do not drive until the fuel tank becomes
completely empty. The engi ne could mis­
fire. Unbu r
