Audi Q5: Examples of improper seating positions

Audi Q5 Type 8R (2008 - 2017) Owner's Manual / Safety / Driving safety / Examples of improper seating positions

The occupant restraint system can only reduce the risk of injury if vehicle occupants are properly seated.

Improper seating positions can cause serious injury or death. Safety belts can only work when they are properly positioned on the body. Improper seating positions reduce the effectiveness of safety belts and will even increase the risk of injury and death by moving the safety belt to critical areas of the body. Improper seating positions also increase the risk of serious injury and death when an airbag deploys and strikes an occupant who is not in the proper seating position. A driver is responsible for the safety of all vehicle occupants and especially for children. Therefore:

  • Never allow anyone to assume an incorrect seating position when the vehicle is being used.

The following bulletins list only some sample positions that will increase the risk of serious injury and death. Our hope is that these examples will make you more aware of seating positions that are dangerous.

Therefore, whenever the vehicle is moving:

  • never stand up in the vehicle
  • never stand on the seats
  • never kneel on the seats
  • never ride with the seatback reclined
  • never lie down on the rear seat
  • never lean up against the instrument panel
  • never sit on the edge of the seat
  • never sit sideways
  • never Lean out the window
  • never put your feet out the window
  • never put your feet on the instrument panel
  • never rest your feet on the seat cushion or back of the seat
  • never ride in the footwell
  • never ride in the cargo area

WARNING

Improper seating positions increase the risk of serious personal injury and death whenever a vehicle is being used.

  • Always make sure that all vehicle occupants stay in a proper seating position and are properly restrained whenever the vehicle is being used.
