If you leave the child restraint with the tether
strap firmly installed for several days, this
could leave a mark on the upholstery on the
seat cushion and backrest in the area where
the tether strap was installed . The upholstery
would also be permanently stretched around
the tether strap . T hi s applies espec ially to
le ather seats.
Using tether straps on rearward-facing
child restraints
Currently, few rear-facing child restraint systems
come with a tether. Please read and heed the
child restraint system manufacturer's instruc­
tions carefully to determine how to properly in­
stall the tether.
_&. WARNING ~
A child in a rearward-facing child safety seat in sta lled on the front passenger seat will be
se riously inju red and can be killed if the front
airbag inflates -even w ith an Advanced Air­
bag System.
- The inflating airbag will h it the child safety
seat or infa nt carrier with great force and
will smash the child safety seat and child against the backrest, cente r armrest, or
door.
- 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 "1; light does not
come on and stay on, immediately install
the rear-facing child safety seat in a rear
seating position and have the a irbag system
i n spected by your Audi dealer.
