2021 AUDI TT child seat

Sitting correctly and safely


— If you use a forward-facing child safety seat
on the front passenger's seat, move the seat
as far back as possible so that it is as far as
possible from the front passenger's airbag.
While doing this, make sure the seat can be
adjusted all the way. A child in a child safety
seat on the front passenger's seat can re-
ceive a severe impact if the front passeng-
er's airbag deploys, which increases the risk
of serious or fatal injury.
— Replace the child safety seat after an acci-
dent because there could be damage that is
not visible.
— Even if a child is not sitting in the child safe-
ty seat, the child safety seat must be se-
cured. An unsecured child safety seat may
be thrown through the vehicle interior dur-
ing sudden braking maneuvers or an acci-
dent.

Correct positioning for children
Always secure children ina child safety seat de-
signed for the body size, weight, and age of the
child.
You can secure child safety seats in your vehicle
using the safety belts.
Applies to Coupe: You can also secure child safety
seats to the LATCH anchors and to the top tether
anchors. Depending on the child safety seat, it
may also be necessary to secure it to the top
tether anchor. In Canada, it is required by law to
secure forward-facing child safety seats to the
top tether anchors on the rear seats.
Applies to: Roadster: There are no top tether an-
chors installed in your vehicle. Do not use any
child safety seats or booster seats that require
top tether anchors.
Always transport children in the rear seats
Applies to: Coupe
Accident statistics show that children that are se-
cured correctly in the rear seats are safer than in
front seats. Always transport children in suitable
child safety seats secured on the rear seats.
Children in the front passenger's seat
If you use a child safety seat on the front passen-
ger seat, then the front passenger’s airbag must
be deactivated. Please note the important infor-
mation for this > page 55, Advanced airbag sys-
tem. If you must secure a forward-facing child
safety seat, move the front passenger's seat as
far back as possible so that it is as far as possible
from the front passenger's airbag. While doing
this, make sure the seat can be adjusted all the
way.
Only switch to a larger child safety seat when
absolutely necessary
Switch to a larger child safety seat only when ab-
solutely necessary. Secure your child using a safe-
ty belt without a child safety seat only if all of the
following statements are true:
— The child is large enough to sit upright in the
seat
— The child is able to sit with his or her back rest-
ing completely on the seat backrest
— The child is able to sit with his or her knees
bent over the edge of the seat surface
— The child is able to sit with both of his or her
feet completely touching the floor in the foot-
well
— The lap portion of the safety belt lies flat and
securely over the hip area and never over the
stomach
— The shoulder portion of the safety belt lies flat
and securely over the center of the shoulder
and the chest, and never under the arm, behind
the back, or over the neck or face.
—The child is able to maintain this seating posi-
tion throughout the entire trip
Read and follow the important information and
warnings regarding the correct use of safety
belts > page 49.
G) Tips
— Child safety seats can also be secured to
seats with side airbags. In the event of an
accident, children can also be protected by
the side airbags if the child is correctly se-
cured ina suitable child safety seat that is
attached correctly.

Sitting correctly and safely

— Applies to: Coupe: The lower LATCH anchors
as well as the safety belt may be required to
correctly install some child safety seats. Us-
ing both at the same time is permitted, pro-
vided that the fastening systems or safety
belts do not impair those in an adjacent
seating position.
— All child safety seats are constructed so that
they can be secured using the lap safety belt
in the vehicle.

Applies to: Coupe
Fig. 63 Rear bench seat: lower LATCH anchors
Observe the safety precautions > page 57.
In the United States and Canada, child safety
seats can be secured without safety belts using
the LATCH system. LATCH stands for Lower An-
chors and Tethers for Children. In Canada, similar
systems are called UCRA, LUAS, or UAS.
The Lower LATCH anchors in your vehicle are lo-
cated on the seats of the rear bench seat be-
tween the seat surface and the backrest. These
seating locations each have two lower LATCH an-
chors that can be used to secure a LATCH child
safety seat. Marking points with a > fig. 63 sym-
bol are located on the covers for the lower LATCH
anchors. You can locate the LATCH anchors using
the marking points.
> Remove the covers from both LATCH anchors.
> Secure the unused safety belt that is within
range of the child. To do this, fasten the safety
belt for the seat where the child safety seat will
be installed. Activate the belt retractor lock on
the fastened safety belt. To do this, pull the up-
60
per belt out completely and then allow it to re-
tract. You will hear a clicking sound while the
belt is retracting. It will not be possible to pull
the safety belt out any farther.
> Make sure the fastened safety belt does not
block access to the LATCH anchors. Otherwise,
it may not be possible to secure the child safety
seat to the LATCH anchors correctly.
>» Secure the child safety seat according to the
child safety seat manufacturer instructions.
> Pull on the child safety seat to check if both
sides are engaged correctly in the LATCH an-
chors.
> If possible, also secure the child safety seat to
the respective top tether anchor in the vehicle
=> page 62.

ZX WARNING
— The LATCH anchors in the vehicle are only
designed for child safety seats with the
LATCH system. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury, never secure other child re-
straint systems, belts, or objects to the an-
chors.
-Achild in a child safety seat could play with
the unused safety belts and then become
entangled in them, which increases the risk
of fatal injury. Always secure the unused
safety belt so that it is not within reach of
children in child safety seats.

G) Tips
The LATCH anchors are designed for a total
weight (child and child safety seat combined)
up to 65 lbs (29 kg). If the total weight is
greater than this, the child safety seat must
be secured with the vehicle safety belt.
Securing child safety seats with a safety
rit
Observe the safety precautions > page 57. The
front passenger’s seat is a dangerous location for
a child, even with an advanced airbag system. If
you use a rear-facing child safety seat on the
front passenger’s seat, the front passenger’s air-
bag must be deactivated. Please note the impor-
tant information for this > page 59, Correct >

Securing child safety seats
> If you secure a child safety seat to the front
passenger's seat, adjust the front passenger's
seat to the highest position.
>» Secure the child safety seat according to the
child safety seat manufacturer instructions.
> If necessary, activate the belt retractor lock
=> page 67.
> If the child safety seat is secured on the front
passenger's seat, adjust the front passenger's
seat backrest until it rests flat against the child
safety seat. Also make sure that the upper safe-
ty belt fixture is behind the child safety seat.
> Applies to: Coupe: If you secure a child safety
seat on the rear seat, also secure it to the cor-
rect top tether anchor if possible > page 62.
Activating the belt retractor lock
If you secure a child safety seat using the vehicle
safety belt, you must activate the belt retractor
lock. Follow the child safety seat manufacturer
instructions.
The belt retractor lock prevents the safety belt
from becoming loose while driving, which could
result in the child safety seat no longer being ad-
equately secured.
> Secure the child safety seat according to the
child safety seat manufacturer instructions.
While doing so, pull out the safety belt. Insert
the safety belt into the belt latch that belongs
to that seat until it audibly locks.
> Pull the upper belt out completely and then al-
low it to retract. You will hear a clicking sound
while the belt is retracting. It will not be possi-
ble to pull the safety belt out any farther.
> Push the child safety seat into the seat and al-
low the belt to retract more.
> Make sure that the child safety seat cannot
move more than 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Deactivating the belt retractor lock
> Unbuckle the safety belt from the belt latch.
> Remove the child safety seat according to the
manufacturer instructions.
> Allow the safety belt to retract completely. The
belt retractor lock is deactivated.

Z\ WARNING
— A safety belt that is not locked by the belt
retractor lock or a locking device cannot se-
cure a child safety seat while driving or in
the event of an accident, which increases
the risk of fatal injury. Always make sure the
belt retractor lock on the safety belt is acti-
vated if the child safety seat manufacturer
instructions require it.
— Due to the risk of fatal injury, never place a
rear-facing child safety seat on the front
passenger's seat when the front passenger's
airbag is switched on.
—For the child safety seat to offer the maxi-
mum protection, it is especially important
to route the vehicle safety belt correctly. Al-
ways follow the instructions from the child
safety seat manufacturer for routing the
safety belt correctly. Incorrectly fastened
safety belts can cause injuries, even during

minor accidents.

Storage and convenience



— The cargo net is only strong enough to se-
cure light objects. Heavy objects are not ad-
equately secured. Attempting to secure
heavy objects increases the risk of injury.
— Never exceed the permitted axle and load
and vehicle weight > page 264.
— Never secure a child safety seat to the tie-
downs.
— Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cially if the luggage compartment lid is
open. Children could enter the luggage com-
partment and close the luggage compart-
ment lid from the inside. This creates the
risk of fatal injury, since the children would
be locked in and may not be able to escape
by themselves.
— Do not allow children to play in or on the ve-
hicle. Close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid as well as all other doors when you
leave the vehicle.
— Never transport passengers in the luggage
compartment. Every passenger must be cor-
rectly secured with the safety belts in the
vehicle > page 49.
— Applies to: Coupe: The luggage compart-
ment cover must always be securely fas-
tened when in use to reduce the risk of an
accident.
— Applies to: Coupe: The luggage compart-
ment cover is not a surface for storing ob-
jects. Objects placed on the cover increase
the risk of injury to all vehicle occupants
during sudden driving or braking maneuvers
or in the event of an accident.
— Applies to: Coupe: Be careful when releasing
the backrest and folding it forward. To re-
duce the risk of being pinched, pay attention
and check when folding backrests forward.
— Applies to: Coupe: The backrest must be se-
curely latched so objects cannot slide for-
ward out of the luggage compartment dur-
ing sudden braking.
— Applies to: Coupe: Always pull forward on
the backrest to make sure it is check if it is
correctly locked in place.

CG) Note
Applies to: Coupe
— If you move the front seat back when the
rear seat backrest is folded forward, you
could damage the head restraints on the
rear seat.
— When folding the backrest forward, make
sure the outer safety belts are in the belt
guide recess so that they do not get pinched
in the backrest lock and damaged. Other ob-
jects should be removed from the rear
bench seat to protect the backrest from
damage.
— Make sure that the heating grid strips for
the rear window defogger are not damaged
by abrasive objects.
G) Tips
— The tire pressure must be adapted to the
load > page 224.
— You can purchase suitable straps at special-
ty stores.

Start/Stop system
Applies to: vehicles with Start/Stop system
The Start/Stop system can help increase fuel
economy and reduce CO2 emissions.
In Start/Stop mode, the engine shuts off auto-
matically when stopped, for example at a traffic
light.
The ignition and important assist systems such
as the brake booster will remain available during
the Stop phase. The engine will restart automati-
cally when needed.
The Start/Stop system is automatically activated
once the ignition is switched on.
Basic requirements for Start/Stop mode
— The driver's door must be closed.
— The driver's seat belt much be fastened.
— The hood must be closed.
— The vehicle must have driven faster than 2 mph
(4 km/h) since the last time it stopped.

Z\ WARNING
— Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop. Switching it
off before the vehicle has stopped may im-
pair the function of the brake booster and
power steering. You would then need to use
more force to steer and brake the vehicle.
The fact that you cannot steer and brake as
usual may increase the risk of accidents and
serious injuries.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. This
applies particularly when children remain in
the vehicle. Otherwise the children could
start the engine or operate electrical equip-
ment such as power windows.
—To reduce the risk of injuries, make sure that
the Start/Stop system is turned off when
working in the engine compartment
> page 79.
