Child safety
-If a seat heater has been retrof itted 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 towe l) and no water or other
liquids on the front passenger seat cushion .
- Never place objects on the seat (such as a
laptop, CD player, electronic games device,
power inverter or seat heater for child
seats) . These may influence the e lectr ica l
capacitan ce measured by the capacitive pas­
senger detection system and can also fly
around in an acc ident and ca use serio us pe r­
sonal injury .
- Make s ure tha t the

time whenever the ignition is switched on.
- If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 1i; light
does not come on and stay on, immediate ly
insta ll the forward-facing child seat at a
seating position on the rear seat and have
the a irbag system inspected by your author­
ized Audi dealer.
- Take the ch ild restraint off the front passen­
ger seat and install it properly at one of the
rear seat positions if the

Booster seats and safety belts
Properly used booster sea ts can help protect
children weighing between about 40 lbs and
80 lbs (18 kg and 36 kg) who are less than 4 ft 9
in (57 in/1 .45 m) tall.
F ig . 17 4 Rea r seat: chi ld p roper ly restra ined in a booster
seat

The vehicle's safety belts alone wi ll not fit most
children until they are at least 4
ft 9 in (57 in/
1.45 m) tall and weigh about 80 lbs (36 kg) .
Booster seats raise these children up so that the
safety be lt will pass properly over the stronger
parts of their bodies and the safety belt can help
protect them in a crash.
.. Do not use the convertib le locking retractor
when us ing the ve hicle's safety belt to restra in
a child on a booster seat .
.., The shoulder belt must lie as close to the cen­
ter of the child's collar bon e as possib le and
must l ie flat and snug on the uppe r body.
It
must never lie across the throat or neck. The
lap belt must lie ac ross the pelvis and never
across t he stomach or abdomen . Make sure the
belt lies flat and snug. Pu ll on the belt to tight­
en if necessary.
.. Secure unused safety belts on the rear seat
¢page 227.
Children up to at least 8 years o ld (over 40 lbs or
18 kg) are best protected in child safety seats de ­
s igned for their age and weight. Experts say that
the skeletal structure, part icu larly the pelvis, of
these children is not fully developed, and they must not use the vehicle safety belts without a
su itab le child restra int.
It is usually best to put these children in appro­
pr iate booster seats . Be sure the booster seat
meets a ll applicab le safety standards .
Booster seats raise the seating position of the
c hi ld and reposition both the lap and shoulder
parts of the safety belt so that they pass across
the chi ld's body in the right places . The rou ting of
the be lt over the ch ild's body is very important
fo r the child's protection, whet he r or not a boos ­
ter seat is used. C hildren age 12 and under m ust
a lways ride in the rear seat.
Never use the lap belt port ion of the vehicle's
safety belt alone to restra in any child, regard less
of how b ig the child is. A lways remember that
c hi ldre n do not have the pronounced pe lvic struc ­
ture requ ired for the proper function of lap belt
portion of the vehicle 's three point lap and
shou lder belts. The chi ld's safety absolutely re­
quires that a lap belt port ion of the safety belt be ...,

Deactivating the convertible locking
retractor
The convertible locking retractor for child re­
s traints will be deactiv ated automatically when
t he belt is wound all the way back into the re­
tractor.
" Press the red button on the safety belt buckle.
T he belt tongue will pop o ut of the buckle .
" Guide the safety belt a ll the way back into its
stowed position.
Always let the safety belt retract complete ly into
its stowed position . T he safety belt can now be
used as an o rdinary safety be lt without the con ­
vertible locking retractor for child restra ints .
If the convert ible lock ing retractor should be ac­
tivated inadve rten tly, the safe ty belt must be un­
fastened and guided completely back into its
stowed position to deactivate this feature . If the
convertible locking retractor is not deactivated,
the safety belt w ill gradually become tighter and
uncomfortable to wear.
A WARNING
-
Improperly installed child safety seats in ­
crease the risk of serious personal injury and
death in a collision.
- Never unfasten the safety belt to deactivate
the convert ible locking retractor for child re­
st raints while the vehicle is moving. You
would not be restrained and co uld be seri­
o usly injured in an accident.
- Always read and heed all WARN INGS when­
ever using a child restr ained in a veh icle is
being used

Child safety
LATCH system (lower
anchorages and tethers
for children)
Child Restraint System anchors and how
are they related to child safety
To p rovide a s imp ler and more practicab le way to
attach the ch ild rest raint o n the vehicle seat,
Federal regulations require spec ial lower ancho­
rages in vehicles and devices on new ch ild re ­
straints to attach to the vehicle anchorages.
T he combinatio n of t he tether anchorages and
t h e lowe r anchorages is now generally called the
LATCH system for " Lower Anchorages and
T ethers for C hild ren." In Canada, the terms "top
tethe r" with "lower universal anchorages" (or
"lower universa l anchorage bars") are used to de­
scribe the system.
Forward-facing chi ld restrain ts manufactured af ­
ter September
1, 1999, are required by U.S. fed ­
era l reg ulations to comply with new child head
movement performance requ irements. These
new performance requ irements make a tether
necessary on most new child seats .
Installing a ch ild restraint that requires a top
tether without one can seriously impair the per­
formance of the ch ild restraint and its ab ility to
protect the child in a collision . Installing a child
restra int that requires a top tether without the
top tether may be a violat ion of state law.
Child restra int manufacturers offer LATCH lower
anchorages on their child seats w ith hook -on or
push-on connecto rs attached to adjustable
straps .
In add ition to the LATCH lower anchorages, these
child restraint systems usually requ ire the use of
tethe r straps to help keep the child restra int
firmly in p lace .
A WARNING
Imp roper installation of child restra ints w ill
i nc rease the risk of injury and dea th in a
crash.

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
1 . Locate the stat em ent "THE
COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCU­ PANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR X XX
LBS "on your vehi cle 's pla card
(tire inflation pr essure l abel)
¢ pag e 265 , fig. 198.
2 . Determine the combined
weight of the dri ver and pa s­
sengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
3. Subtract the comb ined weight
of the driver and passengers
from
" XXX " kilograms or "XXX "
pounds shown on the sticker
¢ page 265, fig. 198 .
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load ca pac ity. For ex­
ample, if the
"X XX" amount
equals 1400 lbs and there w ill
be five 150 lbs passengers in
your vehicle , the amount of
available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lb s
(1400- 750 (5
X 150) = 650 lbs)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
Th at weight ma y not safely ex­
ceed the a vailable cargo and

Emergency situations
Emergency situations
General
This chapter is intended for trained emergency crews and working personnel who have the nec­
essary tools and equipment to perform these
operations.
Starting by pushing or
towing
CD Note
Vehicles with an automatic transmission can­
not be started by pushing or towing.
Starting with jumper
cables
If necessary, the engine con be started by con­
necting it to the battery of another vehicle .
If the engine should fail to start because of a dis­
charged or weak battery, the battery can be con­
nected to the battery of
another vehicle, using a
pair of jumper cables to start the engine.
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of sufficiently large cross
section
to carry the starter current safely. Refer
to the manufacturer's specifications.
Use only jumper cables with
insulated terminal
clamps which are distinctly marked :
plus(+) cable in most cases colored red
minus(-) cable
in most cases colored black .
A WARNING
Batteries contain electricity, acid, and gas.
Any of these can cause very serious or fatal in­
jury. Follow the instructions below for safe hand Ling of your vehicle's battery .
-Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning
over the battery whenever possible.
-A discharged battery can freeze at tempera­
tures just below 32 °F (0 °C). Before con­
necting a jumper cable, you must thaw the
292
frozen battery completely, otherwise it could explode .
- Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes or
skin. Flush any contacted area with water immediately.
- Improper use of a booster battery to start a
vehicle may cause an explosion.
- Vehicle batteries generate explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flame and lighted cigarettes
away from batteries.
- Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a
low acid level in the battery .
- The voltage of the booster battery must also
have a 12-volt rating. The capacity (Ah) of
the booster battery should not be lower
than that of the discharged battery. Use of
batteries of different voltage or substantial­
ly different "Ah" rating may cause an explo­
sion and personal injury .
- Never charge a frozen battery. Gas trapped in the ice may cause an explosion .
- Never charge or use a battery that has been
frozen . The battery case may have be weak­
ened .
- Use of batteries of different voltage or sub­ stantially different capacity (Ah) rating may
cause an explosion and injury. The capacity
(Ah) of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS
~page 244.
CD Note
-Applying a higher voltage booster battery
will cause expensive damage to sensitive
electronic components, such as control
units, relays, radio, etc.
- There must be no electrical contact between
the vehicles as otherwise current could al­
ready start to flow as soon as the positive
(+) terminals are connected.
@ Tips
The discharged battery must be properly con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system. .,..
