CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT

CENTRAL
LOCKING SYSTEM*

The
central locking system locks or un­
locks
doors and rear lid simultaneously. It
is
actuated from the driver's and
passen­

ger's
door.
• To lock and unlock from the outside,

turn
key in lock of driver's and passenger's
door.
• To lock and unlock from the inside, raise
or depress locking knob on window sill of
driver's and passenger's door.

When
you unlock the
driver's
and pas­ senger's door
with
the key
from
the
out­

side or
raise
the locking knobs
from
the inside,
wait
until
both
locking knobs are
raised
before
you open one of the doors.

When
the central locking system is ac­ tuated, both locking knobs on window sills

should
move simultaneously. If one knob

does
not move when locking doors, open

that
particular door and close it properly.

Sliding
door and rear lid can be locked and

unlocked
individually
with
the key; manual lock operation will override the power lock

system.
WARNING

• Locking doors
from
the inside can

help
prevent
inadvertent
door opening

during
an
accident
and
generally
while

the
vehicle
is in
motion.
Locked doors can also
prevent
unwanted
entry
from

the outside.
Locked doors can,
however,
also
delay

assistance to
vehicle
occupants and rescue
from
the
outside
in the
event
of
an
accident
or
other
emergency.

• Do not
leave
children
inside the

vehicle
without
supervision. If locking
knob
in
driver's
and passenger's door is depressed,
both
doors
will
be locked

automatically.
In an
emergency
it

would
be impossible to open the doors

from
outside
without
the key.

Rear
lid • With the key slot in horizontal position
(a), the lid can be locked and unlocked by
the central locking system.
• With key slot in vertical position (b), the
rear lid remains locked when actuating the
central locking system. If the rear lid is closed
with
lock slot in ver­
tical position, the luggage compartment
can
only be opened
with
the master key:
• Insert key in lock slot.
• Turn key all the way to the
right
(c) and
hold in this position.
•
Press
lock cylinder in and raise lid.
• Remove key.

SAFETY
BELTS
WARNING Safety belts have been shown to be the
single most effective means available
for reducing the
potential
for serious in­

jury
and death in automobile
acci­
dents.
Therefore
for
your
own protec­
tion as well as that of
your
passengers always properly wear safety
belts
when
the vehicle is in
motion.
Also, pregnant

women,
injured or physically impaired persons should use safety belts.
In order to provide the maximum level
of protection safety belts must be pro­ perly positioned on the
body.
Impro­
perly positioned safety belts
can
cause
serious personal
injury
in
case
of
an
ac­
cident.
Therefore
read and always ob­ serve all of the following instructions
and warnings pertaining to the use of
the safety belts installed in
your
vehi­

cle.

•
The shoulder belt should be
positioned midway
over
the shoulder

never
across the neck. See illustration
on page
17.

•
Always make certain that the safety
belt tongue is inserted into the safety
belt buckle associated with the corres­
ponding seat. Attaching the safety belt to the buckle for another seat could re­
duce safety belt effectiveness and
cause
injury.

•
Do not wear shoulder part of belt
under
your
arm
or otherwise out of po­

sition.
This
would increase the risk of
serious
injury
in case of
an
accident.

•
Do not use comfort clips or devices
which create slack in the shoulder belt portion and can increase the risk of in­

jury
in an accident.
However
such clips may be required in the proper use of

some
child restraint systems.

•
Never
strap in more than one per­

son,
including
small
children, with

each
belt. It is especially dangerous to
place
a safety belt
over
a child sitting
on
your
lap.

•
The lap belt must be
worn
low and
tight across the pelvis. Make sure any

slack
is wound on the retractor.

•
Belts should not be
worn
twisted.

•
Do not wear belts
over
rigid or

breakable
objects in or on
your

clothing,
such as eye glasses, pens,
keys,
etc. as these may cause
injury.
•
Several layers of
heavy
clothing
may
interfere with proper positioning of

belts
and reduce the
over
all effective­

ness
of the system.

•
Keep belt buckles free of any
obstruction that may
prevent
secure
locking.

•
Make sure the belts of the unoc­
cupied seats are in their stowed posi­

tions.

•
Belts that have been subjected to
excessive stretch forces in
an
accident must be replaced.

•
Belts must not rub against sharp
objects.

•
Do not allow safety belts to become

damaged
by becoming caught in door
or seat hardware.

•
Inspect
your
belts periodically. If

belts
show damage to webbing, bind­
ings,
buckles or retractors,
they
must
be replaced.

•
If belts do not work properly, see

your
Volkswagen dealer.
