Audi Q5: Deactivating the convertible locking retractor

Audi Q5 Type 8R (2008 - 2017) Owner's Manual / Safety / Child safety / Deactivating the convertible locking retractor

The convertible locking retractor for child restraints will be deactivated automatically when the belt is wound all the way back into the retractor.

  • Press the red button on the safety belt buckle. The belt tongue will pop out of the buckle.
  • Guide the safety belt all the way back into its stowed position.

Always let the safety belt retract completely into its stowed position. The safety belt can now be used as an ordinary safety belt without the convertible locking retractor for child restraints.

If the convertible locking retractor should be activated inadvertently, the safety belt must be unfastened and guided completely back into its stowed position to deactivate this feature. If the convertible locking retractor is not deactivated, the safety belt will gradually become tighter and uncomfortable to wear.

WARNING

Improperly installed child safety seats increase the risk of serious personal injury and death in a collision.

  • Never unfasten the safety belt to deactivate the convertible locking retractor for child restraints while the vehicle is moving. You would not be restrained and could be seriously injured in an accident.
  • Always read and heed all WARNINGS whenever using a child restrained in a vehicle is being used. Special precautions apply when installing a child safety seat on the front passenger seat.
