Closing the window without pinch protection

x If the window still will not close, please see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
WARNING
Without pinch protection, power windows will close with enough force to cause serious per-sonal injury.
x Always be careful when closing power windows.
x Always make sure that no one is in the way when overriding pinch protection to close power windows!
x Pinch protection cannot prevent fingers or other parts of the body from being pressed against the window frame; injuries may result.
Pinch protection is also active during convenience closing of the windows and the power sunroof
⇒  Power windows – features.

If convenience closing of the power sunroof requires removing the cover cap of the lock cylinder

d Check the condition of all safety belts regularly.

Twisted safety belt
If it is difficult to pull the safety belt out of the belt guide, the belt may be twisted inside the side trim because the belt retracted too quickly when it was taken off.
x Hold the safety belt tongue, slowly and carefully pull safety belt all the way out.
x Untwist the safety belt and slowly return the belt by hand.
If you cannot untwist the safety belt, wear it anyway. Make sure that the safety belt is twisted in a spot where it does not come in direct contact with your body. Have the safety belt untwisted immediately by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Lockable safety belt
The retractors for the rear seat safety belts and the front passenger safety belt have a switchable locking feature for child restraints in addition to the emergency locking feature. Whenever a child restraint is installed with a safety belt, the safety belt must be locked so that the safety belt webbing cannot unreel. The switchable locking feature lets you lock the belt so that a child restraint can be properly installed and, for example, so that it can't tip to the side when the vehicle goes around a
corner ⇒  Child safety and child restraints.
To see whether a safety belt is lockable, pull the safety belt all the way out of the safety belt retractor. You should then hear a “clicking” sound as the belt winds back into the retractor reel. Test the switch-able locking feature by pulling on the belt. When the switchable locking feature is active, you should no longer be able to pull the belt out of the retractor.
The locking feature must be deactivated when a vehicle occupant uses the safety belt.
WARNING
Improper use and care of safety belts increases the risk of severe personal injury or death.
x Regularly check safety belts and related parts for damage.
x Damaged safety belts must be replaced; they cannot be repaired.
x Always keep safety belts clean.
x Never catch, damage or chafe safety belt webbing on sharp edges.
x Always keep objects and liquids away from the belt buckle and buckle opening.
