Tether anchors and tether straps

ment hook locat ions
Fig. 256 Tet her anc hors for third row of seats: attachment
hook locat ions
The tether anchors for the rear seating positions
are located on the backside of the rear seatbacks.
A tether is a straight or V-shaped strap that at ­
taches the top part of a child restra int to specia l
anchorage points in the vehicle.
The purpose of the tether is to reduce the for­
ward movement of the child restraint in a crash, in order to help reduce the risk of head injury
that could be caused by striking the vehicle inte­
rior .
Forward facing child restraints manufactured af­
ter September 1, 1999, are required by U.S. fed­
eral regulations to comply with new child head
movement performance requirements. These
new performance requirements make a tether
necessary on most new child safe ty seats.
_& WARNING
Improper installation of child restraints will
increase the risk of injury and death in a
crash.

Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for
you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more diffi­
cult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in many
cases, other parts of the car must first be re­
moved before you are able to get to the bulb.
This applies especially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car wh ich you can only reach
through the eng ine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb ho lders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, parts must be
correctly taken apart and then properly put back
together to help prevent breakage of parts and long term damage from water that can enter
housings that have not been properly resea led.
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your author ized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for
you, s ince your dealer has the proper tools, the
correct bulbs and the expert ise.
Gas discharge lamps (Xenon lights):
Fuses and bulbs
Due to the high e lectrica l voltage, have the bulbs
rep laced by a qualified technician. Headlights
with Xenon light are identified by the high volt­
age sticker.
LED headlights*
LED headlights require no maintenance. Please
contact your authorized Audi dealer if a bulb
needs to be replaced.
& WARNING ~ -
Changing Xenon lamps without the necessary
equipment can cause serious personal injury.
- Bulbs are pressurized and can explode when
being changed . Potential risk of injury!
- On veh icles equipped with gas discharge
bu lbs (Xenon light) life-threatening injuries
can resu lt from improper handling of the
h igh-vo ltage portions of such lamps!
- Only your authorized Audi dealer or quali­
fied workshop shou ld change the bulbs in
gas discharge lamps. There are parts with
sharp edges on the openings and on the bulb holders that can cause serious cuts. If
you are uncerta in about what to do, have
the work performed by an authorized Audi deale r or qualified workshop. Ser ious per­
sonal injury may result from improperly per­
formed work.
(D Tips
-If you st ill prefer to replace the light bulbs
yourself, be awa re that the engine compa rt­
ment is a hazardous area to work in~.&..

Working in the engine compartment on
