safety belts properly ¢ page 180.
What impairs driving safety?
Safe driving is directly related to the condition of
the vehicle, the driver as well as the driver 's abili
ty to concentrate on the road without being dis
tracted .
The driver is responsible for the safety of the ve
h icle
and all of its occupants. If your ability to
drive is impaired, safety risks for everybody in the
veh icle increase and you also become a hazard to
everyone else on the road ¢.&,.Therefore :
... Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers
or by using a cellular telephone .
... NEVER drive when your driving ability is im
paired (by medications, alcohol,
drugs, etc.).
... Observe all traffic laws, rules of the road and
speed limits and plain common sense.
... ALWAYS ad just you r speed to road, traffic and
weather cond itions.
... Take frequent breaks on long trips. Do not drive
for
more than two ho urs at a stretch.
... Do NOT drive when you are tired, under pres
sure or when you are stressed.
A WARNING
Impaired dr iv ing safety increases the risk of
serious personal injury and death whenever a
vehicle is
being used.

Safety belts
General notes
Always wear safety belts!
Wearing safety belts correctly saves lives!
This chapter explains why safety belts are neces
sary, how
they work and how to adjust and wear
them correctly.
... Read all the information that follows and heed
all of the instructions and WARNINGS.
A WARNING
Not wearing safety belts or wearing them im
properly
increases the risk of serious personal
injury and death.
-Safety belts are the s ingle most effective
means available to reduce the risk of serious
injury and death in automobile acc idents.
For your protection and that of your passen
gers, always co rre ctly wea r safety belts
when the vehicle is moving.
-
Pregnant women , inju red, or physically im
paired
persons must also use safety belts.
L
ike all vehicle occupants, they are more
likely to
be serio us ly injured if they do not
wea r safety belts. The best way to protect a
fetus is to protect the mother -throughout
the entire pregnancy.
Number of seats
Your Audi TI Coupe has two seating positions in
the front and two height-limited seating posi
tions in the rear . Each seating position has a safe
ty
belt. T he rear seat area in your Audi TT Coupe
does not have enough room fo r passengers of all
sizes. For
reasons of safety, no person taller than
4 ft 9 in (S 7 i n/1.45 m) should ever ride in the
rear seat area.
A WARNING
t--=
Not wear ing safety belts or wearing them im-
properly
increases the risk of serio us personal
injury and death.
180
- Never strap more than one person, includ
ing
small children, into any belt. It is espe
cially dangerous to place a safety be lt over a
child
sitting on your lap.
- Never
let more people ride in the vehicle
than there are safety belts available.
-
Be sure everyone riding in the vehicle is
properl y restrained with a separate safety
belt o r child restraint.
-
Persons taller than 4 ft 9 in (57 in/1.45 m)
as well as children in booster seats who are
too close to the rear window and roof ca n
suffer severe head and nec k injuries when
the rea r lid is closed or in a crash.
- The
minimum clearance between the pas
senger's heads and the rear window must
never -un de r any circumstances -be less
that lin (2.5 cm) when th e passengers sit
fu lly upright.
-Always make sure that rear seat passengers
cannot be stru c k when the rear lid is closed.
4 Safety belt warning light
Your vehicle has a warning system for the driver
and front seat passenger to remind you about
the importance of buckling up.

A WARNING
-Safety belts are the single most effective
means available to reduce the risk of serious
injury and death in automobile accidents .

Why safety belts?
Frontal collisions and the law of physics
Frontal crashes create very
strong forces for peo
ple riding in vehicles.

Ci: Fig. 14 7 The vehicle crashes into the wall CX)
....
"' U"I
....
"' ....
Safety belt s
The physical principles are simple. Both the vehi
cle and
the passengers possess energy which var
ies with vehicle
speed and body weight. Engi
neers call this energy "kinetic energy."
The higher the speed of the vehicle and the
greater the vehicle's weight, the more energy
that has to be "absorbed" in the crash.
Vehicle speed is the most significan t factor. If
the speed doubles from 15 to 30 mph (25 to 50
km/h), the energy increases 4 times!
B ecau
se the passengers of t his vehicle are not us
ing
saf e ty belts~ fig. 146, they will keep moving
at the same speed the vehicle was moving just
before the crash, until something stops them -
here, the wall~ fig. 147.
The same principles apply to people sitting in a
vehicle
that is invo lved in a frontal co llision. Even
at city speeds of 20 to 30 mph (30 to 50 km/h),
the forces acting on the body can reach one ton
(2,000 lbs, or 1,000 kg) or more. At higher
speeds, these forces are even greater.
People who do not use safety belts are also not
attached to thei r vehicle. In a frontal coll is ion
they will also keep moving forward at the speed
their vehicle was travelling just before the crash .
Of course, the laws of physics don't just apply to
frontal collisions , they determine what happens
in all kinds of accide nts and collisions .

Fastening safety belts
Seat first -everybody buckle up!
Fig. 151 Belt buckle and tongue on t he driver's seat
To provide maximum protection, safety belts
must always be positioned correctly on the wear
er's body.
... Adjust the front seat properly c::> page 44, Seats
and storage.
... Make sure the seatback of the rear seat bench
is
in an upright position and securely latched in
place before using the belt¢ ,&. .
... Hold the belt by the tongue and pull it evenly

... Insert the tongue into the correct buckle of
your seat until you hear i t latch securely
c::>fig. 151.
... Pull on the bel t to make sure that it is securely
latched in the buck le .
Automatic safety belt retractors
Every safety belt is equipped with an automatic
belt retractor on the shoulder belt. T his feature
locks the belt when the belt is pul led out fast,
during hard braking and in an accident. The belt
may also lock when you drive up or down a steep
hill or through a sharp curve. During normal driv
ing
the belt lets you move freely.
184
Safety belt pretensioners
The safety belts on the front seats are equipped
with a belt pretensioner that helps to tighten the
safety belt and remove slack when the preten
sioner is activated. The function of the preten
sioner is monitored by a warning light c::> page 15.
Convertible locking retractor
Every safety belt except the one on the driver
seat is equipped with a convertib le locking retrac
tor that must be used when the safety belt is
used to attach a child seat. Be sure to read the
important information about this feature
c::>page223 .
.&. WARNING
Improperly positioned safety belts can cause
serious injur y in an accident .:::>page 185,
Safety belt position.
-Safety belts offer optimum protection only
when the seatback is upright and belts are
properly positioned on the body .
- Always
make sure that the rear seat back
rest to which the center rear safety belt* is
attached is securely latched whenever the
rear center safety belt is being used. If the
backrest is not securely latched, the passen
ger will move forward with the backrest dur
ing
sudden braking, in a sudden maneuver
and especiall y in a crash .
- Always
make sure that the rear seat back
rest is securely latched whenever the rear
safety belt is being used. If the backrest is
not securely latched, the passenger will
move
forward with the backrest during sud
den braking, in a sudden maneuver and es
peciall y in a crash.
- Never
attach the safety belt to the buckle
for
another seat. Attaching the belt to the
wrong buckle will reduce safety belt effec
tiveness and can cause serio us personal in
jury.
- A
passenger who is not properly restra ined
can
be seriously injured by the safety belt it
self when it moves from the stronger parts
of the body into critical areas like the abdo
men.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine For this reason, and because the back seat is the
safest place for children -when properly restrain
ed according
to their age and size -we strongly
recommend that children always sit in the back
seat Q page 212, Child safety.
_&WARNING
A child in a rearward-fac ing child seat instal
led on
the front passenger seat will be seri
ously injured
and can be killed if the front air
bag inflates -even with
an Advanced Airbag
System.
-The inflating airbag will hit the child seat or
infant carrier with great force and will
smash the child seat and child against the
backrest, center armrest, door or roof.
- Always
install rear-facing child seats on the
rear seat.
-If you must install a rearward facing child
seat on the front passenger seat because of
exceptional circumstances and the PASSEN·
GER AIR BAG OFF light does not come on
and stay on, immediately install the rear
facing child
seat in a rear seating position
and have
the airbag system inspected by
your Audi dealer.
- Forward-facing child
seats installed on the
front passenger's seat may interfere with
the deployment of the airbag and cause se·
rious personal injury to the child.
A WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must in
stall a forward-facing child restraint on the
front passenger's seat:
-Always make sure the forward-facing seat
has been designed and certified by its man
ufacturer for use on a front seat with a pas
senger front and side airbag.
- Never
put the forward-facing child restraint
up against or very near the instrument pan
el.
-Always move the passenger seat into its
rearmost position in the seat's fore and aft
adjustment range, as far away from the air
bag as possible
before installing the for-
Airbag system
ward-facing child restraint. The backrest
must be adjusted to an upright position.
- Make
sure that the PASSEN GER AIR BAG
OFF light comes on and stays on all the time
whenever the ignition is switched on.
A WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, make sure
that the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light will
be displayed
whenever a child restraint is in
stalled on the front passenger seat and the
ignition is switched on.
-
If the PAS SENGER AIR BAG OFF light does
not stay on, perform the checks described
~page 199, Monitoring the Advanced Air·
bag System.
-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.
- Have
the airbag system inspected by your
Audi dealer immediately.
- Always carefully follow
instructions from
child restraint manufacturers when instal
ling child restraints.
A WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must in
stall a forward or rearward-facing child re
straint on the front passenger's seat:
-Improper installation of child restraints can
reduce their effectiveness or even prevent
them from provid ing any protection.
-An improperly installed child restraint can
interfere with the airbag as it deploys and
seriously injure
or even kill the child -even
with an Advanced Airbag System.
-Always carefully follow the manufacturer's
instructions provided with the child seat or
carrier.
-Always make sure that there is nothing on
the front passenger seat that will cause the
capacitive passenger detection system in
the seat to signal to the Airbag System that
the seat is occup ied by a person when it is ~
