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.

Changing
the wheels round If
the
front
tyres are worn more than the rear
it
is
advisable
to
change
the
wheels round

as
shown.
All
tyres will then have approxi mately
the
same length
of
service life.
With certain types
of
tread wear
it
can be an advantage
to
change the wheels diagonally.

Volkswagen
dealers have
the
necessary
in

formation.
Renewing wheels/tyres

Wheels
and tyres are important design
fea
tures. The wheels and tyres approved by us should be
used.
They are specially matched
to
the
model concerned
and
contribute largely
to the
excellent road holding
and

safe
driving characteristics.

Volkswagen
dealers have the up-to-date in
formation
on
which brands
of
tyres are ap proved
by us.

• Fitting
and
repairing tyres requires
ex
pert knowledge and special tools. This work
may only be carried out by specialist person

nel.

djn
Because
of the
problem
of dis-
<^>
posing
of the old
tyres,
the

special
tools
necessary
and the
specialist
knowledge
required,
tyre
changing
should
preferably
be
done

by
a
Volkswagen
dealer.

Furthermore, many Volkswagen dealers
stock
an
attractive range
of
wheels
and

tyres.
•
For
safety reasons
the
tyres should
be
renewed
in
pairs and
not
singly. The tyres

with
the deepest tread should always be on
the
front
wheels. • Only combine radial
ply
tyres
of the

same
type,
size
(rolling circumference) anc if possible
the
same tread pattern
on all 4

wheels.

•
If the
spare wheel differs from
the
ver
sion
fitted
on the
vehicle (e.g. winter tyres
or wide tyres)
the
spare may only
be
usee briefly
to
replace
a
flat
tyre
and
with
an
appropriately careful style
of
driving.
It
mus:
be replaced
with
the
normal wheel as soor

as
possible.
• Never
fit
used tyres where their previous history
is not
known.
