Safety
B6N-052M [
If a safety belt is too short because of body size or driving position, even when the
three point safety belt is ful ly extended and
when the adjustable upper shoulder belt
an­chorage (if so equipped) is in the lowest position, you can use a seat belt extender .
This extender can be used only if existing
belt is not long enough . The extender adds
approximately 8 inches
the front airbag deploy at a slightly higher rate of decel­
eration than if the belt is not being used.
Therefore, in a particular collis ion, it is pos ­
sible that
an airbag will not deploy at a seat­
ing position where the safety belt is being
used but
see page
17 for details.
For that reason, always remove the safety belt extender when it is not needed and stow it safely.
See your VOLKSWAGEN dealer for assis­
tance if the extender is required .
SAFETY
Using a safety belt extender when not needed can increase the
risk of injury in a collision.
Never use the safety belt extender if you can fasten the
safety belt without it.
Safety belts can work only when used properly. Never wear safety belts in any other way than
illustrated and described in this
chapter.
A driver or passenger who is not properly restrained can be serious­ly injured by striking the interior of
the passenger compartment or by the safety belt itself which can be displaced from stronger parts of
the body into sensitive areas like
the abdomen.
Never use more than one ex­tender with a safety belt. The use
of more than one extender can change the way the safety belt passes over the body and can cause serious injury.
