Seat VOLKSWAGEN CC 2009 User Guide

WARNING
Contact with parts of the vehicle interior can cause serious
personal injury in a crash.
Always make sure that all vehicle occupants stay in a proper
seating position and are properly restrained whenever the vehi-
cle is moving.
Improper seating positions increase the risk of serious and
fatal injury, especially when an airbag deploys and strikes a
passenger in an improper seating position.
Proper seating position

Fig. 43 The driver should never sit closer than 10 inches (25 cm) of
the steering wheel.

Fig. 44 Proper safety belt positioning and head restraint adjustment.

Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with your
hands at other places inside the steering wheel rim or on the steering
wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way can cause seri-
ous injuries to the hands, arms, and head if the driver's airbag in-
flates.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering wheel cover points at
your chest and not at your face. Pointing the steering wheel toward
your face decreases the ability of the driver's airbag to help protect
you in a collision.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the pedals all
the way to the floor while keeping your knee(s) slightly bent.
Adjust the seat height so that the top point of the steering wheel
can be reached.
Always keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in control of
the vehicle at all times.
Passenger - front seat adjustment:
Push the passenger seat as far back as possible in order to ensure
optimum protection if the airbag is deployed.

Seat functions

WARNING
Certain medical conditions, such as paralysis and diabetes, and
certain medications can increase the risk of serious burns
when the seat heating feature is switched on.
Vehicle occupants who have a low level of perceived pain or
a lowered awareness of pain can receive serious burns to the
back, buttocks, and legs that take a long time to heal or may
never heal completely.
Never use the seat heating feature if you or your passengers
are at risk of being burned because of a medical condition.
Take regular breaks and get out of the vehicle, particularly on
long trips. Consult your doctor for advice regarding your spe-
cific condition.
Never let exposed skin remain in contact with the seat uphol-
stery when the seat heating is being used.
WARNING
A wet seat can cause the seat heating to malfunction and in-
crease the risk of serious burns.
Always make sure the seats are dry before using the seat
heating.

a blanket, or seat covers on the seat can damage seat heating.
If you smell an odor, immediately shut off seat heating and
have it checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or author-
ized Volkswagen Service Facility.

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.
