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.
Never sit on the seat with wet clothes.
Never put damp or wet things including clothes on the seat.
Never spill liquids on the seats.
NOTICE
To help prevent damage to electrical and other parts in the
seat, do not kneel on the front seats or apply concentrated pres-
sure to a small area of the seat or backrest.
Liquids, sharp objects and things that do not let the heat in the
seat escape into the air, including, for example, a child restraint,

Safety belts attach passengers to the car and give them the benefit of
being slowed down more gently or “softly” through the “give” in the
safety belts, crumple zones, and other safety features (such as air-
bags) engineered into today's vehicles. The front crumple zones and
other passive safety features (such as the airbag system) are also
designed to absorb kinetic energy. By “absorbing” the kinetic energy
over a longer period of time, the forces on the body become more
“tolerable” and less likely to cause injury.
Although these examples are based on a frontal collision, safety belts
can also substantially reduce the risk of injury in other kinds of crash-
es. So, whether you're on a long trip or “just going to the corner
store,” always buckle up and make sure that others do, too.
Accident statistics show that vehicle occupants properly wearing safe-
ty belts have a lower risk of being injured and a much better chance
of surviving a collision. Properly using safety belts also greatly in-
creases the ability of the supplemental airbags to do their job in a
collision. For this reason, wearing a safety belt is required by law in
most countries including the United States and Canada.
Although your Volkswagen is equipped with airbags, you still have to
wear the safety belts provided. Front airbags, for example, are acti-
vated only in some frontal collisions. The front airbags are not acti-
vated in all frontal collisions, in side and rear collisions, in rollovers, or
in cases when the conditions for deployment stored in the electronic
control unit are not met. The same goes for the other airbag systems
on your Volkswagen.
So always wear your safety belt and make sure that everybody in
your vehicle is properly restrained!
Using safety belts

d Check the condition of all safety belts regularly.
d Keep safety belts clean.
d Keep objects and liquids away from safety belt webbing, the safety
belt buckle tongue, and the safety belt buckle latch and opening.
d Do not pinch or damage the safety belt or buckle tongue (for in-
stance, when closing a door).
d Never modify, disassemble or try to repair safety belts and safety
belt anchorages.
d Always fasten your safety belt properly before driving and keep it
fastened whenever the vehicle is moving.
Twisted safety belt
If it is difficult to pull the safety belt out of the belt guide, the belt may
be twisted inside the side trim because the belt retracted too quickly
when it was taken off.
Hold the safety belt tongue, slowly and carefully pull safety belt all
the way out.
Untwist the safety belt and slowly return the belt by hand.
If you cannot untwist the safety belt, wear it anyway. Make sure that
the safety belt is twisted in a spot where it does not come in direct
contact with your body. Have the safety belt untwisted immediately by
an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.
Lockable safety belt
The retractors for the rear seat safety belts and the front passenger
safety belt have a switchable locking feature for child restraints in
addition to the emergency locking feature. Whenever a child restraint
is installed with a safety belt, the safety belt must be locked so that
the safety belt webbing cannot unreel. The switchable locking feature
lets you lock the belt so that a child restraint can be properly installed
and, for example, so that it can't tip to the side when the vehicle goes
around a corner ⇒  Child safety and child restraints.
To see whether a safety belt is lockable, pull the safety belt all the
way out of the safety belt retractor. You should then hear a “clicking”
sound as the belt winds back into the retractor reel. Test the switcha-
ble locking feature by pulling on the belt. When the switchable locking

Adjusting safety belt height
The safety belt position can be adjusted using the following features:
Safety belt height adjusters for the front seats.
Front seats with height adjustment.

WARNING
Improperly positioned safety belts can cause serious personal
injury in an accident or a sudden braking maneuver.
Always make sure that all vehicle occupants are correctly re-
strained and stay in a correct seating position whenever the
vehicle is being used.
Safety belts offer optimum protection only when the seat
backrest is upright and belts are correctly positioned on the
body.
A loose-fitting safety belt can cause serious injuries by shift-
ing its position on your body from the strong bones to more
vulnerable soft tissue and cause serious injury.
The shoulder belt portion of the safety belt must be posi-
tioned over the middle of the occupant's shoulder and never
across the neck or throat.
The safety belt must lie flat and snug on the occupant's up-
per body.
Never wear the shoulder part of the safety belt under your
arm or otherwise out of position.
The lap portion of the safety belt must be positioned as low
as possible across the pelvis and never over the abdomen.
Make sure the belt lies flat and snug against the pelvis. Pull on
the safety belt to tighten if necessary.
Expectant mothers must always wear the lap portion of the
safety belt as low as possible across the pelvis and below the
rounding of the abdomen.
Do not twist the belt when attaching it. If you cannot untwist
a twisted safety belt, wear it anyway, but make sure the twisted
part is not in contact with your body. Have the problem correct-
ed right away by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or author-
ized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Never hold the safety belt away from your body with your
hand.
Never wear belts over rigid or breakable objects, such as
eyeglasses, pens or keys.
Never modify the position of the belt using comfort clips,
loops or similar devices.
