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.
