Injuries could be caused if the backrests are folded forwards and backwards carelessly.
Never fold the seat backrest forwards or backwards while the vehicle is in motion.
While folding the seat backrest forwards, always ensure that there are no people, animals or objects in its path.
When folding forwards and backwards, keep all hands, fingers, feet and other body parts away from the seat hinges and seat release
mechanism.
Floor mats or other objects could get caught in the hinges on the seat backrest. The seat backrest might then not engage securely when it is
returned to the upright position.
Passengers (adults and children) must not use seats if the backrest is folded forwards or is not clicked securely into place.
When being folded back, the seat backrest must be securely locked in the upright position. If the seat backrest is not locked properly it could
move suddenly and cause severe injuries.

Never rely solely on the airbag system for your protection.
Even if an airbag is triggered, it only offers auxiliary protection.
The airbag system offers the best level of protection, and reduces the risk of injury, when seat belts are properly worn  → Seat belts   .
Before every trip, each vehicle occupant must adopt the correct sitting position, correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to their seat and
keep it fastened properly throughout the trip. This applies to all vehicle occupants and also in urban traffic.
WARNING
The risk of injury increases if there are any objects between the vehicle occupants and the deployment area of the airbag when it is triggered.
This will alter the deployment zone of the airbag, or the objects will be flung against the body.
Never hold any objects in your hand or on your lap while the vehicle is in motion.
Never transport any objects on the front passenger seat. The objects could enter the deployment zone of the airbag during sudden braking
or driving manoeuvres and then be flung dangerously through the vehicle interior if the airbag is activated.
Vehicle occupants sitting on the front seats and rear outer seats must never carry any people, pets or objects in the deployment zone
between themselves and the airbags. Make sure that children and passengers also keep to this rule.
WARNING
The airbag system can only be triggered once. The system will have to be replaced if the airbags have been triggered.
Airbags that have been triggered, and any affected system parts, must immediately be replaced with new parts that are approved by
Volkswagen for the vehicle.
Repairs and modifications to your vehicle should only be carried out by a qualified workshop. Qualified workshops have the necessary tools,
diagnostic equipment, repair information and qualified personnel.
Never use recycled airbag components or components that have been taken from end-of-life vehicles in your vehicle.
Never alter any components of the airbag system.

Never attach any objects, such as drink or telephone holders, to the covers of the airbags or anywhere in the airbag deployment zone.
No other people, animals or objects may be carried between the occupants of the front seats and the airbag deployment zone. Make sure
that children and passengers also keep to this rule.
Do not attach any objects, e.g. mobile navigation devices, to the windscreen above the front airbag on the front passenger side.
Do not cover or stick anything on the steering wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of the airbag unit in the dash panel on the front
passenger side, and do not modify them in any way.
DANGER

When driving, always hold the steering wheel with both hands on the outside of the ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
Adjust the driver seat so that there is at least 25 cm between your breastbone and the hub of the steering wheel. Contact a qualified
workshop if your physical build makes this impracticable.
Adjust the front passenger seat so that the distance between the passenger and the dash panel is as large as possible.
