Several layers of heavy clothing (such as a coat worn over
top of a sports jacket) may interfere with proper positioning of
the safety belt and reduce the overall effectiveness of the sys-
tem.
Never use comfort clips or devices that create slack in the
shoulder belt. However, special clips may be required for the
correct use of some child restraint systems.
Safety belts offer optimum protection only when the seat
backrest is upright and belts are correctly positioned on the
body.

NOTICE
Never attach a trailer to the vehicle or leave it attached to the
vehicle when the trailer is supported by a trailer jack or blocks.
Various things (such as a change in trailer or vehicle load or a
flat tire) can lower or raise the vehicle. This subjects the trailer
hitch and the trailer to strong forces that can damage the vehicle
or the trailer.
If the engine is switched off and accessories in the trailer are on
and use electricity from the vehicle, the vehicle battery will be drained
as long as the electrical systems of the vehicle and the trailer are
connected.

Opening and closing the storage compartment for the Owner's
Manual or MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack
Depending on equipment, the storage compartment at the top of the
glove compartment is designed to hold either the Owner's Manual or
the MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack.
The Owner's Manual compartment or MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack is located
in a storage compartment at the top, which can be pulled down to
open ⇒ fig. 125 (3).
The strap (2) indicates the handle for opening the storage compart-
ment.
If the vehicle is not equipped with the MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack, always
keep the Owner's Manual in this storage compartment. To stow the
Owner's Manual, place it in the slot with the binding facing the inside
of the glove compartment door.
Holders
Depending on the model, there may be holders for a pen and a note-
pad in the glove compartment.
Cooling the glove compartment
There is an air vent (1) in the back of the glove compartment. Cool air
can be directed into the glove compartment if the air conditioner is on.
Open or close the air vent by turning it.

WARNING
Unintended vehicle movement during maintenance work can
cause serious personal injuries.
Never work under the vehicle unless you have safely secured
the vehicle from moving. If you must work under the vehicle
with the wheels on the ground, always make sure that the vehi-
cle is on level ground, that all 4 wheels are chocked to keep
them from moving, and that the key is not in the ignition.
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, al-
ways make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle. The jack supplied with the
vehicle is not strong enough for this purpose and can collapse
causing serious personal injury.

Lift points for the vehicle

Fig. 173 Front lift point for workshop hoist or floor jack.

Fig. 174 Rear lift point for workshop hoist or floor jack.
The vehicle may only be raised at the lift points shown in illustrations
⇒ fig. 173 and ⇒ fig. 174. If the vehicle is lifted at different points, ve-
hicle damage ⇒  and serious injuries may occur ⇒ .
Workshop hoists that use fluid cushions (receiving platforms) must
not be used for lifting the vehicle.
There are many precautions that have to be followed when lifting a
vehicle on a workshop hoist or floor jack. Do not try to lift a vehicle on
a workshop hoist or floor jack unless you have the training,
knowledge, and experience to be able to do so safely.
Information about lifting the vehicle with the vehicle jack ⇒  Lifting the
vehicle with the vehicle jack or ⇒  Lifting the vehicle with the vehicle
jack (CC R-Line), respectively.

WARNING
Improperly lifting your vehicle with a workshop hoist or a floor
jack can cause the vehicle to fall off and cause serious person-
al injury.
Always read and heed the operating instructions from the
floor jack manufacturer and legal regulations if necessary be-
fore using the floor jack to lift the vehicle.
Never let anyone stay in the vehicle when it is being lifted or
when it is off the ground.
Always lift your vehicle only at the designated lift points
shown in the illustrations ⇒ fig. 173 and ⇒ fig. 174. Not using the
designated lift points can cause the vehicle to fall off the floor
jack when heavy parts such as the engine or transmission are
removed.
Always make sure that the vehicle's lift points lie as flat as
possible and centered on the carrier plates of the floor jack.
Never start the engine when you have raised the vehicle on
the floor jack. The engine vibrations and vehicle movements
could knock the vehicle off the floor jack.
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, al-
ways make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Never use the floor jack as a ladder or step ladder.
Always make sure that the weight of the vehicle is not heavi-
er than the lifting capacity of the floor jack and safety stands
being used.
NOTICE
To help prevent serious vehicle damage, never lift the vehicle
by the engine oil pan, transmission housing, or by the front or
rear axles or suspension.
To help prevent damage to the underbody or chassis, always
insert a rubber pad between the hoist and the lifting points. In
addition make sure the lifting arms have enough clearance.
The lifting arms should not touch side sills or other parts of
the vehicle.

WARNING
Changing a wheel, especially on the side of the road, can be
dangerous. To help reduce the risk of serious personal injury:
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Move
the vehicle a safe distance off the road where it is safe to
change the wheel.
Always make sure that all passengers, especially children,
are in a safe place outside the vehicle and away from the vehi-
cle and traffic (such as behind a guard rail).
Turn on the emergency flashers and set up another warning
device about 25 yards (25 meters) behind the vehicle to warn
approaching traffic.
Change a wheel by yourself only if you are familiar with the
necessary steps. Otherwise, get expert assistance.
Always switch the engine off, set the electronic parking
brake, and shift the transmission into Park (P) (automatic
transmission) or any gear (manual only) to help prevent the ve-
hicle from moving suddenly and slipping off the jack.
Always make sure that the ground is level and firm. If neces-
sary, place the jack on a large and sturdy board or on a similar
ground support.
Always block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being
changed with chocks or other similar things.
If you are towing a trailer, always unhitch it from your vehicle
before starting to change the wheel. Always apply the trailer
brakes firmly and make sure the trailer cannot move uninten-
tionally.
Always use proper and undamaged tools when changing a
wheel.
Once a wheel is lifted off the ground, having the transmission
in Park (P) or in gear will not prevent sudden vehicle move-
ment.
Always use a jack that has been approved by the manufac-
turer for your vehicle. Never use other jacks, even if they have
been approved for use on other Volkswagen models.
To reduce the risk of losing control, crashes, and serious
personal injuries, never loosen the screws on rims with thread-
ed rim rings.
