Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Warning lamp
Frontal collisions and the laws of physics
What happens to vehicle occupants who have not fastened their seat belts
Seat belt protection
Using seat belts
Fastening and unfastening seat belts
Seat belt routing
Seat belt height adjuster
Belt retractor, belt tensioner, belt tension limiter
Service and disposal of belt tensioners
Proactive occupant protection system
Regularly check the condition of all seat belts. If the belt webbing, belt connections, belt retractor or
seat belt buckle become damaged, the seat belt in question should be replaced immediately by a
qualified workshop
compatible with the vehicle, equipment level and model year. Volkswagen recommends using a
Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

WARNING
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.

Regularly check the condition of all seat belts.

Keep the seat belts clean.

Avoid allowing any foreign bodies or fluids to get on to the seat belt or latch plate or into the slot for
the seat belt buckle.

Do not trap or damage the seat belt and latch plate, for example when closing the door.

Never remove, modify or repair the seat belt or belt anchorage elements.

Always fasten the seat belt correctly before any journey and wear it properly while the vehicle is in
motion.
Twisted seat belt
If it is difficult to pull the seat belt out of the belt guide, the seat belt may have become twisted in
the side trim as a result of being retracted too quickly when unfastened:
Take hold of the latch plate, then slowly and carefully pull out the seat belt fully.
Untwist the seat belt and guide it back slowly by hand.
Fasten the seat belt even if you are unable to undo the twist. However, the twist should not be in
part of the seat belt which comes into direct contact with the body. The twist should be corrected
immediately by a qualified workshop.

WARNING
Using seat belts incorrectly increases the risk of severe or fatal injuries.
Regularly check to ensure that the seat belt and its related parts are in perfect condition.
Always keep the seat belt clean.
Do not allow the belt webbing to become jammed, damaged or to rub on any sharp edges.
Always keep the latch plate and slot in the buckle free from foreign bodies and liquids.
Fastening and unfastening seat belts

The proactive occupant protection system is an assistance system that initiates measures to protect
vehicle occupants in dangerous situations. However, the system cannot prevent a collision.
The full range of functions of the proactive occupant protection system will be available only if the
function has been activated in the Infotainment system, no special driving profile has been selected
and there are no malfunctions Driving profile selecFunction

collision or initiates strong braking.
Function limitations
The proactive occupant protection system will not be available, or will be available only to a limited
extent, in the following situations:
If there is a fault in the ESC, belt tensioner Seat beltsor airbag control unit Airbag system

WARNING
The intelligent technology of the proactive occupant protection system cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded
by the proactive occupant protection system tempt you into taking any risks when driving. The
system cannot prevent a collision. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the
driver.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
The system cannot detect objects in all situations.
The proactive occupant protection system does not react to people, animals, objects crossing in
front of the vehicle, or objects which are hard to detect.

Go to a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this
purpose.

Heating and air conditioning system
Heating, ventilating, cooling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Front controls
Air recirculation mode
Seat heating
Steering wheel heating
Troubleshooting
The following systems may be installed in the vehicle
Both the manual air conditioning system and Climatronic heat, cool and dehumidify the air. It works
most effectively when the windows and the glass roof are closed. If heat has built up in the vehicle
interior, ventilating the vehicle can speed up the cooling process.
Display of activated functions
Lit up LEDs on rotary knobs and buttons indicate that the function is switched on.

WARNING
Poor visibility through the windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause
serious injuries.
Keep all windows free from ice, snow and condensation to maintain good visibility.
Adjust the heating, air conditioning system and rear window heating so that condensation does not
form on the windows.
Only set off once all windows are clear.
Use air recirculation mode for a short period only. If the cooling system is switched off, condensation
can form on the windows very quickly in air recirculation mode and reduce visibility considerably.

WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which in turn can cause
collisions, accidents and serious injuries.
Never switch off the blower or switch on the air recirculation mode for an extended period as this
prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle interior.

NOTICE
Food, medicine and other items that are sensitive to heat or cold could be either damaged or
rendered useless by the air flowing out of the vents.
Never leave food, medicines or other temperature-sensitive objects in front of the vents.

NOTICE
If the air conditioning system is not working, switch the air conditioning system off immediately and
have it checked by a qualified workshop. This can help to prevent secondary damage.

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes Personalisation
