seat adjustment VOLKSWAGEN CC 2008 Owners Manual

Always sit upright with your back against the backrest with
the front seats properly adjusted. Never lean against or place
any part of your body too close to the area where the airbags
are located.
Rear seat passengers who are not properly seated and re-
strained are more likely to be seriously injured in a crash.
WARNING
Improper adjustment of the seats can cause accidents and se-
vere injuries.
Never adjust the seats while the vehicle is moving. Your seat
may move unexpectedly and you could lose control of the vehi-
cle. In addition, you will not be in the correct seating position
while adjusting the seats.
Adjust the front seat height, angle and longitudinal direction
only if the seat adjustment area is clear.
The adjustment of the front seats must not be restricted by
things in the footwell in front or behind the seats.
WARNING
Some kinds of cigarette lighters can be lit unintentionally, or
crushed causing a fire that can result in serious burns and ve-
hicle damage.
Always make sure that there are no lighters in the seat tracks
or near other moving parts before adjusting the seats.
Before closing a storage compartment, always make sure
that no cigarette lighter can be activated, crushed, or otherwise
damaged.
Never leave a cigarette lighter in a storage compartment, on
the instrument panel, or in other places in the vehicle. Heat
buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked
vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much
higher than the outside temperatures, particularly in summer.
High temperatures could cause the cigarette lighter to catch
fire.

WARNING
Contact with parts of the vehicle interior can cause serious
personal injury in a crash.
Always make sure that all vehicle occupants stay in a proper
seating position and are properly restrained whenever the vehi-
cle is moving.
Improper seating positions increase the risk of serious and
fatal injury, especially when an airbag deploys and strikes a
passenger in an improper seating position.
Proper seating position

Fig. 43 The driver should never sit closer than 10 inches (25 cm) of
the steering wheel.

Fig. 44 Proper safety belt positioning and head restraint adjustment.

Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with your
hands at other places inside the steering wheel rim or on the steering
wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way can cause seri-
ous injuries to the hands, arms, and head if the driver's airbag in-
flates.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering wheel cover points at
your chest and not at your face. Pointing the steering wheel toward
your face decreases the ability of the driver's airbag to help protect
you in a collision.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the pedals all
the way to the floor while keeping your knee(s) slightly bent.
Adjust the seat height so that the top point of the steering wheel
can be reached.
Always keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in control of
the vehicle at all times.
Passenger - front seat adjustment:
Push the passenger seat as far back as possible in order to ensure
optimum protection if the airbag is deployed.

kneel on the front seats or apply concentrated pressure to a
small area of the seat or backrest.
If the vehicle battery is too weak, the electrical seat adjustment
controls may not work.
Starting the engine may stop seat adjustment.
When entering and exiting the vehicle, be careful not to come into
contact with any switches that could change the seat adjustment.

Initializing the memory seats
The memory system must be initialized by an authorized Volkswagen
dealer, an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or another quali-
fied workshop in certain situations, for instance, if a new driver seat is

Unfastening safety belts
Unfasten safety belts only when the vehicle is not moving ⇒ .
Press the red button on the buckle ⇒ fig. 66. The buckle tongue is
ejected.
Let the belt wind up on the retractor as you guide the belt tongue to
its stowed position to help prevent the safety belt from twisting and to
help avoid damage to the interior trim.
WARNING
Improperly positioned safety belts can cause serious personal
injury or death in an accident.
Safety belts offer optimum protection only when the seat
backrest is upright and belts are correctly positioned on the
body.
A person who is not properly restrained can be seriously in-
jured by the safety belt itself if it slips from the stronger parts of
the body into sensitive areas like the abdomen.
Unfastening safety belts while the vehicle is in motion can
cause severe personal injury or death in the event of an acci-
dent or braking maneuver!
