WARNING
Safety belts have been shown to be
the single most effective means avail-
able for reducing the potential for
serious injury and death in automobile
accidents. Therefore for your own
protection as well as that of your
passengers always properly wear
safety belts when the vehicle is in mo-
tion. Also pregnant women, injured or
physically impaired persons should
use safety belts.
In order to provide the maximum level
of protection safety belts must be
property positioned on the body.
Improperly positioned safety belts can
cause serious personal injury in case
of an accident. Therefore read and
always observe all of the following
instructions and warnings pertaining
to the use of the safety belts installed
in your vehicle.
§
When fastening the tap/shoulder
belt, the shoulder belt should be
positioned midway over the shoulder -
never across the neck. See illustration
on page 19.
§
Always make certain that the
safety belt tongue is inserted into the
safety belt buckle associated with the
corresponding seat. Attaching the
safety belt to the buckle for another
seat could reduce safety belt
effectiveness and cause injury.
§
The combination lap/shoulder belt
on the front seats can be adjusted to
fit comfortably – see page 18.
§
Do not wear shoulder part of belt
under your arm or otherwise out of
position. This would increase the risk
of serious injury in case of an
accident.
§
Do not use comfort clips or devi-
ces which create slack in the shoulder
belt portion and can increase the risk
of injury in an accident. However such
clips may be required in the proper
use of some child restraint systems.
§
Never strap in more than one
person, including small children, with
each belt. It is especially dangerous to
place a safety belt over a child sitting
on your lap.
§
The lap belt must be worn low
and tight across the pelvis. Make sure
any slack is wound on the retractor,
§
Belts should not be worn twisted.
§
Do not wear belts over rigid or
breakable objects in or on your
clothing, such as eye glasses, pens,
keys, etc. as these may cause injury.
§
Several layers of heavy clothing
may interfere with proper positioning
of belts and reduce the overall
effectiveness of the system.
§
Keep belt buckles free of any
obstruction that may prevent secure
locking.
§
Make sure the belts of the
unoccupied seats are in their stowed
positions.
§
Belts that have been subjected to
excessive stretch forces in an
accident must be replaced.
§
Belts must not rub against sharp
objects.
§
Do not allow safety belts to
become damaged by becoming
caught in door or seat hardware.
§
Inspect your belts periodically, If
belts show damage to webbing,
bindings, buckles or retractors, they
must be replaced.
§
If belts do not work properly, see
your Audi dealer.
§
Do not modify or disassemble the
safety belts in your vehicle.
