Tether anchors and tether straps
Fig. 250 Tether ancho rs for second row of seats: a tt a ch ·
m ent hook locat io ns
The tether an chors fo r the rear seating posi tions
are located on the backside of the rear sea tbacks .
A tether is a straight or V-shaped s trap that at·
t a ches the top part of a child restra int to spec ia l
ancho rage poin ts in the vehicle .
The purpose of the tether is to red uce the for­
ward movement of the child res traint in a crash,
i n order to help red uce the risk of head injury
tha t could be c aused by str iki ng the vehicle inte­
rior .
Forward fac ing ch ild rest rai nts manufactured af­
ter September 1, 1999, are required by U .S. fed­
eral regula tions to comply with new child head
movement performance requirements. These
new perfo rmance requirements make a tethe r
necessary on most new child safety seats.
A WARNING
Improper installation of c hild restraints will
increase the risk of injury and death in a
crash .
- Always follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the child restra int you
intend to install in your Audi .
- Improper use of child restra int anchors (in­
clud ing tether anchors) can lead to i njury in
a collision . The anchors are designed to
withs tand only those loads imposed by cor­
r ectly fitted child restra ints.
- Never mount two chi ld restraint systems on
one LATC H lower anc ho r poi nt.
- Never attach two child restraint systems to
one tether strap or tether anchorage.

~
Battery acid is highly corrosive. Always
wea r protect ive g loves and eye pro tect io n .
.
®
Fire, sparks, open flame and smok ing are
forb idden .
~
A highly explosive mixture of gases can
form when charging batteries.
®
Always keep childre n far away from bat-
tery electrolyte and the batte ry .
~
Always follow the instructions in the oper-
ating manual.
A WARNING
All wo rk on the batte ry o r electrical system in
yo ur vehicle can result in inju ries, chemical
burns, accidents or burns. Because of this, all
wor k must be performed
only by an author­
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility.
A WARNING
California Proposition 65 Warning:
- Battery posts, terminals and re lated acces­
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemica ls known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive problems.
Wash hands after handling .
@ Note
-If the vehicle will be parked for long periods
of time, protect it against the cold so that it
will not be destroyed by "freezing"
<=>page 323.
-There are electrical components under the
cargo floor behind a trim pane l that warm
up during operation. To reduce the risk of
the components overheat ing, do not store
objects such as blankets under the cargo
floor . If they overheat, the components wi ll
switc h off temporarily. This will be ind icat ed

@ For the sake of the environment
i Batteries contain polluting substances such
as sulfur ic acid and lead. Contact an author­
i zed Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Fac ility for more informat ion.
Vehicle battery
The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
Not running the vehicle for long periods of
time
If you do not drive your vehicle for severa l days or
weeks, electrical equ ipment is gradually sca led
back or switched off. This reduces energy use and
ensures the vehicle will be able to start after long
periods of
time<=> page 145 . Some convenience
funct ions, such as interior lighting or power seat
adjustment, may not be available under certain
circumstances . These convenience functions will
be available again once you switch t he ignition on
and start the engine .
Even when electrical equipment is switched off,
the equipm ent can still drain the vehicle battery
if the vehicl e is not driven for long periods of
time. Deep draining results in a chemical reaction
that destroys the inside of the vehicle battery.
The vehicle battery must be charged every month
to reduce the risk of this happening
<=> page 323.
Contact an authorized Aud i dealer or authorized
Audi Service Fac il ity for more information.
Winter operation
Cold weather places higher demands on the vehi­
cle battery. This results in reduced starting abili­
ty. Have the vehicle battery checked by an au­
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Fac il ity before the cold time of year .
