belt VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 2020 Owner´s Manual

The front passenger front airbag may
trigger during an accident in spite of the
fault.
Troubleshooting
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 47. Fault in airbag or belt tensioner system
The yellow indicator lamp lights up continu-
ously. In addition, a message may be dis-
played in the instrument cluster.
A malfunction has been detected in at least
one airbag or belt tensioner.

Whether or not the airbag triggers is deter-
mined by the v
ehicle deceleration rate
caused by the collision and registered by the
electronic control unit. If this rate is below
the reference value programmed into the
control unit, the airbags will not be triggered,
even though the vehicle may be badly dam-
aged as a result of the collision. Vehicle dam-
age, repair costs or even the lack of vehicle
damage in an accident do not necessarily
give an indication of whether an airbag
should inflate or not. It is not possible to de-
fine a range of vehicle speeds and reference
values, since the circumstances will vary con-
siderably between one collision and another.
It is therefore impossible to cover every pos-
sible kind and angle of impact that would
trigger the airbags. Important factors in the
triggering of the airbag include the nature
(hard or soft) of the object that the vehicle
hits, the angle of impact, and the vehicle
speed.
Airbags only serve as a supplement to the
three-point seat belt in some accident situa-
tions when the vehicle deceleration is suffi-
cient to trigger the airbags. Airbags can only
be triggered once and only in certain situa-
tions. The seat belts are always there to pro-
vide protection in situations where airbags
are not normally triggered or where they
have already been triggered, for example if
the vehicle collides with another vehicle after
the first collision or is hit by another vehicle.
The airbag system is part of the vehicle

WARNING
Child seats present a risk of injury if incor-
rectly installed.
x Always read and f
ollow the installation
instructions and warning information
provided by the child seat manufacturer. WARNING
Using a front-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat presents a risk of injury.
x Mo

ve the front passenger seat as far
back and as high as it can be adjusted to
create the largest possible distance be-
tween the child seat and the front pas-
senger front airbag.
x Move the backrest to the upright posi-
tion.
x Set the seat belt height so that the seat
belt routing follows a natural path adap-
ted to the child seat without excessive
deviations. For rear-facing child seats,
use the lowest position of the belt
height adjuster.
x Only use child seats that have been ap-
proved by the child seat manufacturer
for use on a front passenger seat with
front and side airbag. WARNING
To avoid injuries caused by inflation of
a head airbag or side airbag:
x Ensure that no children are seated with-
in the airbag deployment zones

sition any body part directly against or
too close to where the airbags are fitted.
WARNING
Incorrect adjustment of the seats can cause
accidents and serious injuries.
x Only adjust the seats when the v
ehicle is
stationary. The seats could change posi-
tion unexpectedly if you attempt to re-
position them while the vehicle is in mo-
tion, leading to a loss of control of the
vehicle. Furthermore, an incorrect sitting
position is adopted while adjusting the
seat.
x Only adjust the height and tilt of the
seat or move it forwards and backwards
when the area around the seat is clear.
x The adjustment range of the seats must
not be restricted by any items.
x Only adjust the angle of the rear seats or
move the seats forwards and backwards
when there is no-one in the adjustment
range of the seats.
x The areas for adjusting and locking the
seats must not be soiled. WARNING
Improper use of seat covers or protective
co
vers may lead to the electrical seat con-
trols being operated accidentally and the
front seats moving unexpectedly while the
vehicle is moving. You could lose control
over the vehicle. This could result in serious
injury and accidents. Furthermore, this may
result in damage to the electrical compo-
nents in the front seats.
x Never attach or secure seat covers or
protective covers to the electrical con-
trols.
x Do not fit seat covers or protective cov-
ers over the seats unless they have been
expressly approved for use in the vehi-
cle. WARNING
Any lighters in the vehicle could be dam-
aged or accidentally lit. This could lead to
serious burns and other injuries.
x Bef

ore adjusting the seats, always en-
sure that there is no lighter on or near
the movable parts of the seat. NOTICE
Sharp edges can damage the seats.
x Do not touch the seats with sharp-edged
objects. Sharp objects, such as zips, riv

ets
on clothing or belts, may damage surfaces.
Open Velcro fasteners may also cause
damage. Mechanically adjusting the
front seat
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 93.
The f

ollowing section contains a description
of all possible controls. The number of con-
trols may vary depending on the version of
the seat.
The controls are mirrored for the right-hand
front seat.

Seat belts
Carefully pull the seat belt right out and lea
ve
it out

If the vehicle exceeds the gross vehicle
weight rating or the rear axle load, the v
ehi-
cle speed must not exceed 80 km/h when
towing a trailer. This also applies to countries
where higher speeds are permitted. Observe
local speed limits. These may be lower for ve-
hicles with trailers than for vehicles without
trailers.
Any permitted excess loads for the vehicle
are entered in the vehicle documents. If no
excess load has been entered, it is possible to
drive up to 100 km/h, although local regula-
tions must be observed.
Technical data
Technical data can be found in the vehicle
documents. WARNING
Risk of injury and electric shock from ex-
posed wires.
x Ensure the luggage compartment trim is
installed upon or bef

ore delivery, so that
the cables in the rear of the vehicle are
covered up when using the vehicle. WARNING
Risk of severe injuries due to persons being
transported incorrectly.
x Ne

ver transport adults or children in the
middle of the rear bench seat.
x The lack of restraint systems such as
seat belt and head restraint can result in
serious or fatal injury in the event of an
accident. WARNING
Risk of severe and fatal injuries.
x Do not tra

vel with people in the luggage
compartment.
x Observe the safety notes and informa-
tion regarding the luggage compartment
and transporting items
