VOLKSWAGEN CC 2017 Owners Manual

Never install leather upholstery on a vehicle with seat heating
that originally had cloth upholstery. The seat heating elements
for seats with cloth seats will overheat if the cloth upholstery is
replaced with leather upholstery.

necessary fuel consumption.

Safety belts

WARNING
Not wearing a safety belt or wearing an improperly positioned
safety belt increases the risk of severe personal injury or death.
Safety belts offer optimum protection only when they are used
properly.
Properly worn safety belts are the single most effective
means of reducing the risk of serious injury and death in a col-
lision or other accident. For this reason, always wear your safe-
ty belt properly and make sure all passengers wear their safety
belts properly as well whenever the vehicle is moving.
The driver must always make sure that every person in the
vehicle is properly seated on a seat of his or her own, properly
fastens the safety belts belonging to that seat before the vehi-
cle starts to move, and keeps the belts properly fastened while
riding in the vehicle. This applies even when just driving
around town. Therefore, always wear your safety belts and
make sure that everybody in your vehicle is properly restrained.
Always secure children in the vehicle with a restraint system
appropriate for their age, weight and height ⇒  Child safety and
child restraints.
Always fasten safety belts correctly before driving off and
make sure that all passengers are properly restrained.
Never attach the safety belt to the buckle of another seat. At-
taching the safety belt to the wrong buckle will reduce safety
belt effectiveness and can cause serious personal injury.
Never let any objects or liquids get into the safety belt latch
and prevent it from working properly.
Never remove a safety belt while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so will increase your risk of being injured or killed.
Never strap more than one person, including small children,
into any single safety belt.
Never let children or babies ride sitting on your lap, and nev-
er place a safety belt over a child sitting on your lap.
Never wear belts over rigid or breakable objects in or on your
clothing, such as eyeglasses, pens, keys, etc., as these may
cause injury.

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.

WARNING
Damage to safety belts reduces their overall effectiveness and
increases the risk of serious personal injury and death when-
ever the vehicle is being used.
Never let safety belts become damaged by being caught in
the door or seat hardware.
Torn or frayed safety belts can tear, and damaged safety belt
hardware can break in an accident.
Inspect belts regularly for damage. If webbing, bindings,
buckles, or retractors are damaged, have the belts replaced
immediately with the correct replacement belts approved by
Volkswagen for your vehicle, model, and model year.
Safety belts that were subject to stress in an accident and
stretched must be replaced with a correct, new safety belt,
preferably by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility.
Replacement after a crash may be necessary even if a safety
belt shows no visible damage. Anchorages that have been
loaded must also be inspected.
Damaged safety belts must be replaced; they cannot be re-
paired.
Never try to repair a damaged safety belt yourself. Never re-
move or modify the safety belts in any way.
Have safety belts, bindings, retractors and buckles replaced
by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility.
Always keep the belts clean. Dirty belts may not work cor-
rectly and can impair the function of the inertia reel.
