 Audi A4   Safety   Safe driving  Stowing luggage safely
Unsecured loads are a hazard to all Audi A4 occupants.
There are fastening rings in the luggage compartment which can be used to secure luggage and other objects Link.
Use the fastening rings to secure items safely in the luggage compartment WARNING!.
During a collision or an accident, even small and light objects can possess so much energy that they can cause very severe injuries. The amount of this "kinetic energy" depends on the speed of the Audi A4 and the weight of the object. The most significant factor, however, is the speed of the Audi A4.
For example: an object weighing 4.5 kg is lying unsecured in the Audi A4. During a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, this object generates a force corresponding to 20 times its weight. That means that the effective weight of the object increases to about 90 kg. You can imagine the severity of the injuries which might be sustained if this "projectile" strikes an occupant as it flies through the passenger compartment.
WARNING!
If items of luggage or other objects are secured to the fastening rings with inappropriate or damaged tensioning straps, injuries could result in the event of sudden braking or a collision.
  • To prevent pieces of luggage or other objects from flying forward, always use appropriate tensioning straps which are properly secured to the fastening rings.
  • Never secure a child seat on the fastening rings.
