Always remember: Even though your veh icle is
equipped w ith an Advanced Airbag system, all
children, especially
those 12 years and younger,
should always ride in the back seat properly re

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

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

killed when the inflating airbag hits the
child safety seat or infant carrier with great
force and smashes the child safety seat and

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

(such
as a laptop, CD player, electronic

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

(such as a wet towel) and no water or other
liquids on the front passenger seat cushion. ..,.

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

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.
