Audi Q5: 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.
