Technical Service Bulletin Customer states: • On the A5/S5/RS 5 Coupe and Cabriolet that are equipped with S Sport Seats (PR Code Q4Q) the customer may report that the seatbelt positioner is intermittently or statically inoperative. Note: Only vehicles with S Sport Seats (PR Figure 1. S Sport Seats, PR Code Q4Q in the S5 Cabriolet. Code Q4Q) are affected. The seatbelts function normally, only the seatbelt positioner is an issue (Figure 1.) Workshop findings: • No DTCs are stored. Technical Background Depending on the seat version with which the vehicle is equipped, the seat could be adjusted to a position where the seatbelt positioner arm could make contact with the seatback e.g. seat adjusted fully upward and seatback tilted forward. • The A5/S5/RS 5 Coupe, and Cabriolet equipped with S Sport Seats (PR Code Q4Q) are currently programmed to not activate the seatbelt positioner when the seat is adjusted in this way. • The A5/S5 Cabriolet equipped with S Sport Seats (PR code Q4Q) is not at risk for the contact between the seat and the seatbelt positioner due to seat-to-belt positioner tolerances.
