Each vehicle occupant must sit in a seat of their own and must have their own seat belt.
Never drive if your driving ability is impaired, e.g. by medication, alcohol or drugs.
Do not allow yourself to be distracted from the traffic, e.g. by passengers, telephone calls, opening menus and making adjustments to
settings.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Observe traffic regulations and speed limits.
When travelling long distances, stop and take a break regularly – at least every 2 hours.
Secure animals in the vehicle using a system that is suitable for their weight and size.
Does the vehicle need any technical modifications for driving abroad, e.g. masking or switching the headlights over?
Are the necessary tools, diagnostic equipment and spare parts available for service and repair work?
Are there any Volkswagen dealerships in the destination country?
For petrol engines: is unleaded petrol with the correct octane number available?
Regular servicing of your vehicle not only maintains its value, it also ensures that your vehicle remains roadworthy and in working order.
Servicing work should therefore be carried out in accordance with the service schedule. Some work may have to be carried out before the due
date of the next service if the vehicle is subjected to severe operating conditions. Severe operating conditions are, for example, frequent stop and
go driving, frequent driving with a trailer and driving in areas with high levels of dust. Further information can be obtained from your Volkswagen
dealership or qualified workshop.

Sitting correctly and safely
Adjusting the seat position
Assuming an incorrect sitting position in the vehicle can increase the risk of severe or fatal injuries during a sudden driving or braking
manoeuvre, in the event of a collision or accident, or if the airbags are triggered.
All vehicle occupants must assume a correct sitting position before setting off and maintain this position throughout the trip. This also applies
to the fastening of seat belts.
The number of vehicle occupants must never exceed the number of seats with seat belts in the vehicle.
Always secure children in the vehicle in an authorised restraint system which is suitable for their height and weight  → Airbag system   ,
 → Child seats   .
Always keep your feet in the footwell while the vehicle is in motion. Never place your feet on the seat or dash panel, for example, and never
ride with your feet out the window. When you are sat like this, the airbag and seat belt cannot provide optimal protection and could actually
increase the risk of injury during an accident.

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.

Warning lamp
Incorrectly fastened or unfastened seat belts increase the risk of severe or fatal injuries. Seat belts will only offer the optimum level of protection
when they are fastened and used properly.
Seat belts are the most effective means of reducing the risk of serious and fatal injuries in the event of an accident. Seat belts must always
be fastened properly when the vehicle is in motion to protect the driver and all vehicle occupants.
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.
While the vehicle is in motion, secure all children travelling in the vehicle in a restraint system suitable for their weight and height. They must
also wear correctly fastened seat belts  → Child seats   .
Only start driving when all passengers have correctly fastened their seat belts.
Only ever insert the latch plate into the buckle of the associated seat, and always ensure that it engages properly. Using a buckle that does
not belong to the seat that you are occupying reduces the level of protection and can lead to severe injuries.
Avoid allowing foreign bodies or liquids to enter the slot for the seat belt buckle. This could prevent the belt buckle and seat belt from
working properly.
Never unfasten the seat belt while the vehicle is in motion.
Never allow more than one person to share the same seat belt.
Never travel when children or babies are being carried on somebody's lap and fastened with the same belt.
Never travel wearing loose, bulky clothing (such as an overcoat over a jacket). This could prevent the seat belts from fitting and functioning
properly.
WARNING
Damaged seat belts are very dangerous and can cause severe or fatal injuries.
Never damage the belt by trapping it in the door or in the seat mechanism.
If the belt webbing or any other part of the seat belt becomes damaged, the seat belt may tear during an accident or sudden braking
manoeuvre.
Have damaged seat belts immediately replaced by new seat belts that have been approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle. Seat belts
subjected to stress and stretched during an accident must be replaced by a qualified workshop. Renewal may be necessary even if there is
no apparent damage. The belt anchorage should also be checked.
Never try to repair, modify or remove the seat belts yourself. All repairs to the seat belts, belt retractors and buckles must be carried out by a
qualified workshop.

Fig. 50 Unbelted occupants in a vehicle striking a brick wall
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction 
The physical principles involved in a frontal collision are relatively simple. As soon as the vehicle is in motion  → Fig. 49 , both the moving vehicle
and its passengers gain kinetic energy.
The higher the vehicle speed and the heavier the weight of the vehicle, the greater the amount of energy that will have to be released in the event
of an accident.
However, the most significant factor is the speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles from approximately 25 km/h (15 mph) to approximately
50 km/h (31 mph), for example, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of four.
The amount of kinetic energy depends on the speed of the vehicle and the weight of the vehicle and passengers. The higher the speed and the
heavier the weight, the greater the amount of energy that will be released in the event of an accident.
Passengers not wearing seat belts are not connected to the vehicle. In the event of a frontal collision they will continue to move forwards at the
same speed at which the vehicle was travelling before impact, until something stops them. Because the passengers in our example are not
restrained by seat belts, the entire amount of kinetic energy will only be released at the point of impact against the wall  → Fig. 50 .
Even at speeds of approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) to approximately 50 km/h (31 mph), the forces acting on bodies in a collision can easily
exceed one tonne (1,000 kg). These forces are even greater at higher speeds.
This example applies not only to frontal collisions, but to all accidents and collisions.
