General information

Safety belt retractor
With the memory function, you can save and call
up seat profiles using the memory buttons in the
door trim panel.
The safety belts are equipped with an automatic
belt retractor. This automatic retractor allows the
safety belt to be pulled all the way out when the
belt is pulled slowly. However, the automatic re-
tractor locks during sudden braking maneuvers.
It also locks the belts when accelerating, driving
uphill, and driving around curves.
Depending on vehicle equipment, some settings
such as the driver’s seat and exterior mirror posi-
tion can be stored.

belt tensioners deploy, the pretensioning sys-
tem must be replaced by an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
– In an emergency, the recall process can be
canceled by pressing the seat adjustment
button on that seat.
