WARNING
Improperly positioned safety belts can cause serious personal
injury in an accident or a sudden braking maneuver.
Always make sure that all vehicle occupants are correctly re-
strained and stay in a correct seating position whenever the
vehicle is being used.
Safety belts offer optimum protection only when the seat
backrest is upright and belts are correctly positioned on the
body.
A loose-fitting safety belt can cause serious injuries by shift-
ing its position on your body from the strong bones to more
vulnerable soft tissue and cause serious injury.
The shoulder belt portion of the safety belt must be posi-
tioned over the middle of the occupant's shoulder and never
across the neck or throat.
The safety belt must lie flat and snug on the occupant's up-
per body.
Never wear the shoulder part of the safety belt under your
arm or otherwise out of position.
The lap portion of the safety belt must be positioned as low
as possible across the pelvis and never over the abdomen.
Make sure the belt lies flat and snug against the pelvis. Pull on
the safety belt to tighten if necessary.
Expectant mothers must always wear the lap portion of the
safety belt as low as possible across the pelvis and below the
rounding of the abdomen.
Do not twist the belt when attaching it. If you cannot untwist
a twisted safety belt, wear it anyway, but make sure the twisted
part is not in contact with your body. Have the problem correct-
ed right away by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or author-
ized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Never hold the safety belt away from your body with your
hand.
Never wear belts over rigid or breakable objects, such as
eyeglasses, pens or keys.
Never modify the position of the belt using comfort clips,
loops or similar devices.

Using a safety belt extender
Adjust both the seat and the head restraint properly ⇒ Adjusting the
seating position.
Insert the buckle tongue on the safety belt extender ⇒ fig. 70 (2)
into the vehicle belt buckle for the seat where the safety belt extender
is being used (1).
Fastening or unfastening the vehicle safety belt ⇒ Fastening and
unfastening safety belts.
Pull the belt to make sure that the tongues are securely locked in
the buckles.
Make sure that the safety belt is positioned properly ⇒ Safety belt
position.
Properly using safety belt extenders:
Use a safety belt extender only when the factory installed safety
belt is too short when worn properly by a person in proper seating
position.
Only use 1 safety belt extender per seat and vehicle safety belt.
Always remove the safety belt extender when it is not needed.
Never leave a safety belt extender attached to the vehicle safety
belt buckle when the extender is not needed and being used with the
safety belt. Otherwise, the airbag control module will receive an incor-
rect signal from the safety belt buckle and this will prevent the airbag
from working properly for a person who is not using the safety belt.
Leaving the extender attached to the safety belt buckle when the front
seat is occupied and the safety belt is not being used will signal the
airbag control unit during a collision that the front passenger seat is

WARNING
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal in-
jury.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. The
engine can be started and vehicle systems such as the power
windows can be operated, leading to serious personal injury.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key. This could result in people
being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. For example, de-
pending on the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can
be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
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. Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause
unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children.
Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehi-
cle is moving or rolling to a stop. The steering wheel will lock
and you will not be able to steer or control the vehicle.
Leaving the key in the ignition for a long time when the engine is
not running will drain the vehicle battery.
Leaving the selector lever for a long period of time in any position
other than Park (P) when the ignition is switched off can drain the
vehicle battery.
On automatic transmission vehicles, the vehicle key can be
removed from the ignition switch only when the transmission is in
Park (P). You may have to press the release button on the transmis-
sion selector lever to put the lever into Park (P).
