DANGER
Please observe important safety informa-
tion about the front passenger front airbag

Accident statistics have shown properly worn
seat belts to be an eff
ective means of sub-
stantially reducing the risk of injury and im-
proving the chances of survival in a serious
accident. Furthermore, properly worn seat
belts improve the protection provided by air-
bags in the event of an accident. This is why
wearing a seat belt is a legal requirement in
most countries.
Although the vehicle is equipped with air-
bags, the seat belts must be fastened and
worn. For example, the front airbags will be
triggered only in certain types of frontal colli-
sion. The front airbags will not be triggered
during minor frontal collisions, minor side
collisions, rear collisions, rolls or accidents in
which the airbag trigger threshold in the con-
trol unit is not exceeded. The same applies to
the other airbags in the vehicle.
Therefore, always wear your seat belt and en-
sure that your passengers have fastened their
seat belts properly before you drive off. Using seat belts

ter on page 36.

zone of the airbag, or the objects will be
flung against the body.
x Ne
ver hold any objects in your hand or
on your lap while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
x Never transport any objects on the front
passenger seat. The objects could enter
the deployment zone of the airbag dur-
ing sudden braking or driving manoeu-
vres and then be flung dangerously
through the vehicle interior if the airbag
is activated.
x There must be no other persons, animals
or objects between the vehicle occu-
pants sitting on the front seats and rear
outer seats and the deployment zones of
the airbags. Ensure that children and
adults keep to this rule. WARNING
The airbag system can only be triggered
once. The system will ha
ve to be replaced if
the airbags have been triggered.
x Airbags that have been triggered, and
any affected system parts, must imme-
diately be replaced with new parts that
are approved by Volkswagen for the ve-
hicle.
x Repairs and modifications to your vehi-
cle should only be carried out by a quali-
fied workshop. Qualified workshops
have the necessary tools, diagnostic
equipment, repair information and quali-
fied personnel.
x Never use recycled airbag components
or components that have been taken
from end-of-life vehicles in your vehicle.
x Never alter any components of the air-
bag system. WARNING
Fine dust particles or steam may be re-
leased when the airbags are triggered. This
is normal and does not mean that there is
a fire in the v

ehicle.
x The fine dust can cause irritation to the
skin and eye membranes and cause breathing difficulties, particularly for
people suff

ering from asthma or people
who have (had) other respiratory prob-
lems. To help reduce breathing difficul-
ties, get out of the vehicle or open the
windows or doors for more fresh air.
x If you come into contact with the dust,
you should wash your hands and face
with a mild soap and water before eat-
ing.
x Do not let the dust get into your eyes or
into open wounds.
x If dust has entered your eyes, rinse them
with water. WARNING
Cleaning agents that contain solvents
cause the surface of the airbag modules to
become porous. In an accident that triggers
the airbag, loose plastic parts can cause se-
rious injury.
x Ne

ver clean the dash panel or the airbag
covers with cleaning agents that contain
solvents. Type of front passenger front

or objects between the vehicle occu-
pants sitting on the front seats and rear
outer seats and the deployment zones of

The v ehicle may be provided with stickers
giving important information about the front
passenger front airbag. The information on
these stickers may vary from country to
country. The stickers may be found:

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
