WARNING
Improper use of power windows can result in serious personal
injury.
Never let anyone get in the way of a power window when
closing it.
When locking the vehicle from the outside, make sure that no
one, especially children, remains in the vehicle. The windows
will not open in case of an emergency.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. You
can still use the power windows for several minutes after the
ignition is switched off as long as the driver or front passenger
door has not been opened.
Always use the safety switch when children are in the back
seat to disable the rear power windows and keep them from be-
ing opened and closed.
NOTICE
The windows must go down slightly when you unlock the vehi-
cle. Otherwise the windows and seals could be damaged when
opening the doors.
If the power windows malfunction, the one-touch feature, as well
as pinch protection may not work properly. See an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility right
away.

Adjusting the seating position

WARNING
Improper seating positions increase the risk of severe or fatal
injuries in a crash or other accidents, especially when the air-
bag deploys.
All occupants must sit properly and be properly restrained at
all times.
Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat-
ing positions with safety belts available.
Always secure children in the vehicle with an approved and
suitable restraint system appropriate for their age, weight, and
height
Always keep your feet on the floor in front of the seat. Never
rest them on the seat, instrument panel, out of the window, etc.
The airbag system and safety belt will not be able to protect
you properly and can even increase the risk of injury in a crash.

WARNING
Always adjust seat, safety belts, and head restraints properly
before driving and make sure that all passengers are properly
restrained.
Push the passenger seat as far back as possible. Always be
sure that there are at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the front
passenger's breastbone and the instrument panel.
Always adjust the driver's seat and the steering wheel so that
there are at least 10 inches (25 cm) between your breastbone
and the steering wheel.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the ped-
als all the way to the floor while keeping your knee(s) slightly
bent. The distance to the instrument panel in the knee area
must be at least 4 inches (10 cm).
If these requirements cannot be met for physical reasons,
contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility to see whether adaptive equipment
is available.
Always hold the steering wheel on the outside of the steering
wheel rim with your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions to help reduce the risk of personal injury if the driver's
airbag inflates.
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 serious injuries to the hands, arms, and
head if the driver's airbag inflates.
Pointing the steering wheel toward your face decreases the
ability of the driver's airbag to help protect you in a collision.
Never drive with backrests reclined or tilted back farther than
necessary to drive comfortably. The farther back the backrests
are tilted, the greater the risk of injury caused by incorrect posi-
tioning of the safety belts and improper seating position.
Never drive with the front seat passenger backrest tilted for-
ward. If the front airbag deploys, the front backrest can be
forced backward and injure passengers on the rear seat.
Sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel and the
instrument panel.

Always sit upright with your back against the backrest with
the front seats properly adjusted. Never lean against or place
any part of your body too close to the area where the airbags
are located.
Rear seat passengers who are not properly seated and re-
strained are more likely to be seriously injured in a crash.
WARNING
Improper adjustment of the seats can cause accidents and se-
vere injuries.
Never adjust the seats while the vehicle is moving. Your seat
may move unexpectedly and you could lose control of the vehi-
cle. In addition, you will not be in the correct seating position
while adjusting the seats.
Adjust the front seat height, angle and longitudinal direction
only if the seat adjustment area is clear.
The adjustment of the front seats must not be restricted by
things in the footwell in front or behind the seats.
WARNING
Some kinds of cigarette lighters can be lit unintentionally, or
crushed causing a fire that can result in serious burns and ve-
hicle damage.
Always make sure that there are no lighters in the seat tracks
or near other moving parts before adjusting the seats.
Before closing a storage compartment, always make sure
that no cigarette lighter can be activated, crushed, or otherwise
damaged.
Never leave a cigarette lighter in a storage compartment, on
the instrument panel, or in other places in the vehicle. Heat
buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked
vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much
higher than the outside temperatures, particularly in summer.
High temperatures could cause the cigarette lighter to catch
fire.
