Three-point
inertia
reel
belts
The
inertia reel belt gives complete freedom
of movement when pulled slowly. Sudden braking however will cause the belt to lock.
The
mechanism will also lock the belt when
accelerating,
driving down steep gradients
or cornering.
Putting
belt
on
Pull
the tongue slowly and smoothly across
the chest and hips and push it into the lock part
fitted
on the seat until the tongue en
gages
audibly (pull to check).
The shoulder
part
of
belt
must
run
roughly
across the
centre
of the
shoulder as
shown
- on no account
against
the
neck
- and be
firmly
in
contact
with
the body.
The backrests of the
front
seats
must
not be inclined too far to the
rear,
otherwise
the
belts
are no
longer
fully
effective.
With the aid of the
belt
height
adjust
ment
the routing of the
front
seat shoulder
belt can be set to fit the body properly.
• To adjust, push button
with
relay
fitting
(see
right
illustration) up or down so
that
the
shoulder
part of belt runs roughly across the centre of the shoulder as shown on the
left

CONTROLS AND

Safety
for
children
Children
under
12
years
of age
should
normally
travel
on the
rear
seat1>(Caravelle,
Kombi,
Double-
cab).
Depending
upon
their
age,
height
and
weight,
they
must
be pro
tected
with
either
a child
restraint
system
or the
seat
belt
provided.
A
child may also occupy the
front
passenger
seat
if the restraint system used has been
expressly
approved for this purpose by the
manufacturer. One should bear in mind however
that
they are generally safer on the
rear seat.
On no
account
should
children
- or
babies
travel
on an
adult's
lap.
• Babies up to about 9 months old/10 kg are best protected, in an accident,
with
a
safety seat or a special safety carrier.
• Experience has shown
that
babies and
small
children up to about 3 years/18 kg are
best protected in child seats or safety
carriers where they can lie or sit facing the rear of the car.
• Children up to about 7 years of age/25 kg, depending on their height, are safest when
secured
in a child seat or by a safety seat
cushion.
• Children over about 7 years of age may
use
the three point belts or two point belts
provided on the rear seats. It is important to
ensure
that
the diagonal part of the belt
fits
over the centre of the shoulder - and does not
make
contact
with
the
neck.
The
lap part of the belt must pass across the
pel
vis
and not
over
the child's stomach. If this is not so a safety cushion must be
used
to raise the seating position.
When using the belt the section "Seat belts" should also be noted.
Note the following points when purchasing,
installing and using a child restraint system:
• For safety reasons always use a restraint system which conforms to the international
safety standard ECE R 44. Restraint
sys
tems
that
can be connected to the seat belts provided in the car are recommended.
• Only use child seats or safety carriers of the type which have a large,
flat
area in
con
tact
with
the car's seat upholstery. Child
seats
which have feet or tubular frames and no
flat
base can easily penetrate
into
the
car's
upholstery, and are therefore not so
safe.
• We recommend
that
child restraint
sys
tems from the genuine accessory programme of the Volkswagen dealers are
used.
Here under the name "Bobsy" re
straint systems for all age groups are of
fered21.
These systems
fulfil
all the require ments mentioned and over and above this, have been developed and tested by us for
use
in Volkswagen vehicles.
• Special care must be taken if child re straint systems are used which are bolted
on at the same point as the belts provided in the vehicle. One must ensure
that
the bolt
is
long enough so
that
the
full
length of the
threaded hole is utilized and tightened to a
torque of 30 Nm
Furthermore, one should ensure
that
the
belt itself cannot become damaged by
sharp edged buckles etc.
• For the
installation
and use, at
tention
must
be
paid
to the
legal
regulations
and the
instructions
of
the
restraint
system
manufacturer.
Not in all export markets
Observe
any statutory regulations to the
con
trary.

Head
restraints*
The
front
head restraints are adjustable for rake and height and should be set to suit the
size
of the person in the seat. Correctly ad
justed head restraints together
with
the
seat
belts offer effective protection.
Adjusting
height*
• Grip sides of head restraint
with
both hands and pull up or push down.
• The best protection is obtained when the upper edge of restraint is roughly at eye
level.
Note
In vehicles
with
a high partition the head re
straints are not adjustable.
Removing

To
remove head restraints in
front
seat
backrests,
pull restraints up to the stop,
press
both buttons (arrows) and atthe same
time take restraints out.

into
the guides
until
they are heard to engage.
Note
On
some models, head restraints are
fitted
which are retained by spring clips.
To
remove the spring clips from the seat backrest guide rings, pull or push the clip out
to one side
with
a small screwdriver.
When reinstalling, insert the head restraint
first,

makes
the
selection
of the correct

easier.

means
that the tyre was

Attention
Tyres
which are more than 6 years old should only be used in
an emergency and then
with
a particularly careful style of driv
ing.
If you wish to fit your car
with
non
standard wheels or tyres please note:
Attention
•
For technical reasons it is not normally possible to use wheels
from other vehicles - in certain
circumstances
not even wheels
from the same vehicle model!
•
Wheels and wheel bolts are matched to one another.
On
changing to a different type
of wheel (e.g. alloy wheels or
wheels
with
winter
tyres) the cor rect bolt
with
the proper length
and conical shape must be
used.
The security of the wheels and
the functioning of the brake
sys
tem depend on this!
•
Using types of wheel and or
tyres which have not been ap
proved
by us for your vehicle
model can be detrimental tc thi
safety of the vehicle. It can also
affect the vehicle under the
Con
struction and Use regulations.
•
If wheel
trim
discs
are
subse
quently installed it is essential to
ensure
that
the air flow remains
adequate to cool the brakes.
Volkswagen
dealers
have
