Always wear safety belts!

Wearing safety belts correctly saves lives!

This chapter explains why safety belts are necessary, how they work and how to adjust and wear them correctly.

  • Read all the information that follows and heed all of the instructions and WARNINGS.

WARNING

Not wearing safety belts or wearing them improperly increases the risk of serious personal injury and death.

  • Safety belts are the single most effective means available to reduce the risk of serious injury and death in automobile accidents.

    For your protection and that of your passengers, always correctly wear safety belts when the vehicle is moving.

  • Pregnant women, injured, or physically impaired persons must also use safety belts.

    Like all vehicle occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts. The best way to protect a fetus is to protect the mother - throughout the entire pregnancy.

Number of seats

Your Audi has a total of five seating positions: two in the front and three in the rear. Each seating position has a safety belt.

WARNING

Not wearing safety belts or wearing them improperly increases the risk of serious personal injury and death.

  • Never strap more than one person, including small children, into any belt. It is especially dangerous to place a safety belt over a child sitting on your lap.
  • Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are safety belts available.
  • Be sure everyone riding in the vehicle is properly restrained with a separate safety belt or child restraint.
