x
Bef ore every trip, each vehicle occupant
must adopt the correct sitting position,
correctly fasten the seat belt belonging
to their seat and keep it fastened prop-
erly throughout the trip. This applies to
all vehicle occupants and also in urban
traffic.
x While the vehicle is in motion, secure all
children travelling in the vehicle in a re-
straint system suitable for their weight
and height. They must also wear cor-
rectly fastened seat belts

seat belts and airbags can provide the opti-
mum le
vel of protection. Volkswagen recom-
mends using a Volkswagen dealership for this
purpose. Seat belt height adjuster

Ne
xt to the front seats: belt height ad-
juster.
The seat belt height adjusters for the front
seats can be used to adjust the position of
the seat belt on the shoulder so that it can be
fastened properly:

WARNING
Child seats present a risk of injury if incor-
rectly installed.
x Always read and f
ollow the installation
instructions and warning information
provided by the child seat manufacturer. WARNING
Using a front-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat presents a risk of injury.
x Mo

ve the front passenger seat as far
back and as high as it can be adjusted to
create the largest possible distance be-
tween the child seat and the front pas-
senger front airbag.
x Move the backrest to the upright posi-
tion.
x Set the seat belt height so that the seat
belt routing follows a natural path adap-
ted to the child seat without excessive
deviations. For rear-facing child seats,
use the lowest position of the belt
height adjuster.
x Only use child seats that have been ap-
proved by the child seat manufacturer
for use on a front passenger seat with
front and side airbag. WARNING
To avoid injuries caused by inflation of
a head airbag or side airbag:
x Ensure that no children are seated with-
in the airbag deployment zones

sition any body part directly against or
too close to where the airbags are fitted.
WARNING
Incorrect adjustment of the seats can cause
accidents and serious injuries.
x Only adjust the seats when the v
ehicle is
stationary. The seats could change posi-
tion unexpectedly if you attempt to re-
position them while the vehicle is in mo-
tion, leading to a loss of control of the
vehicle. Furthermore, an incorrect sitting
position is adopted while adjusting the
seat.
x Only adjust the height and tilt of the
seat or move it forwards and backwards
when the area around the seat is clear.
x The adjustment range of the seats must
not be restricted by any items.
x Only adjust the angle of the rear seats or
move the seats forwards and backwards
when there is no-one in the adjustment
range of the seats.
x The areas for adjusting and locking the
seats must not be soiled. WARNING
Improper use of seat covers or protective
co
vers may lead to the electrical seat con-
trols being operated accidentally and the
front seats moving unexpectedly while the
vehicle is moving. You could lose control
over the vehicle. This could result in serious
injury and accidents. Furthermore, this may
result in damage to the electrical compo-
nents in the front seats.
x Never attach or secure seat covers or
protective covers to the electrical con-
trols.
x Do not fit seat covers or protective cov-
ers over the seats unless they have been
expressly approved for use in the vehi-
cle. WARNING
Any lighters in the vehicle could be dam-
aged or accidentally lit. This could lead to
serious burns and other injuries.
x Bef

ore adjusting the seats, always en-
sure that there is no lighter on or near
the movable parts of the seat. NOTICE
Sharp edges can damage the seats.
x Do not touch the seats with sharp-edged
objects. Sharp objects, such as zips, riv

ets
on clothing or belts, may damage surfaces.
Open Velcro fasteners may also cause
damage. Mechanically adjusting the
front seat
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 93.
The f

ollowing section contains a description
of all possible controls. The number of con-
trols may vary depending on the version of
the seat.
The controls are mirrored for the right-hand
front seat.

Driving with an open boot lid
Driving with an open boot lid is particularly
dangerous. All objects and the open boot lid
must be secured properly and suitable meas-
ures taken.
Driving with an open boot lid increases the
air resistance of the v
ehicle and thus also the
energy consumption of the electric drive.
This considerably reduces the possible range
of the vehicle. Volkswagen does not recom-
mend driving with the boot lid open due to
the resulting reduction in range. WARNING
Driving with an unlocked or open boot lid
can cause serious injuries.
x Always driv

e with the boot lid closed.
x Always stow all items in the luggage
compartment securely. Loose objects
can fall out of the luggage compartment
and injure other road users.
x Always drive carefully and ensure that
you think ahead.
x Avoid any abrupt or sudden driving and
braking manoeuvres as this can cause
the open boot lid to move unpredictably.
x Any objects protruding from the luggage
compartment must be marked to ensure
that they are visible to other road users.
Observe the legal requirements.
x Any objects protruding from the luggage
compartment must never be held in po-
sition by the boot lid.
x If it is necessary to drive with the boot
lid open, all luggage racks and cargo
stowed on the rack must be removed
from the boot lid. NOTICE
The vehicle height, and possibly the length,
are diff
erent when the boot lid is open. Driving through water on
roads
Please f

ollow these rules to help prevent
damage to your vehicle when driving through
water, for example if the road is flooded:
