Seat belts (Audi A8 D2)

Properly adjusted seat belts secure the position of the driver and passengers while driving and are an effective means of protecting against serious injury in an accident.

The car is equipped with three-point seat belts.

By adjusting the height of the front seat belt attachment points, you can achieve the best placement of the shoulder belt.

Manual adjustment

Press the top of the button, slide the belt clip up or down (pic. 1–12) so that the shoulder branch passes through the middle of the shoulder (in no case through the throat) and press the bottom of the key.

After adjustment, pull the belt to make sure that the belt clip is securely locked.

Electric adjustment

Press and hold the up or down button until the seat belt brace moves up or down so that the shoulder branch passes through the middle of the shoulder.

You can correct the seat belt position by adjusting the seat height.

Seat belt height memory

On vehicles equipped with a driver's seat position memory, the installation height of the seat belt is also fixed.


First of all, you need to set the seat position, and then the position of the seat belt.

Belt tensioners

The degree of safety of the driver and passengers wearing seat belts will increase due to the installation of tensioners in the automatic winders of the front seat belts.

The seat belt must not pass over the reclined seatback, as the rear pretensioners will deploy in the event of a collision.

The system is activated by special sensors in the event of a severe frontal impact. A squib is ignited in the rewinder of each seat belt that is worn, causing the seat belts to be tightened.

In light frontal collisions, side impacts and impacts to the rear of the vehicle, rollovers, etc., when there are no significant forces directed in the direction of travel, the tensioners are not activated.

Note: Smoke is emitted when the tensioners are activated. This in no way indicates the occurrence of a fire in the car.
