The dangers of assuming an incorrect sitting position
.....-m First read and observe the Introductory L-.bU information and safety warnings & on page 61.
If the seat belts are not worn or are worn incorrect-ly, the risk of severe or fatal injuries increases. Seat belts can only provide optimal protection if the seat belt routing is correct. Assuming an incorrect sitting position considerably impairs the level of protection provided by a seat belt. This could lead to severe or even fatal injuries. The risk of severe or fatal injuries is especially increased when a de-ploying airbag strikes a vehicle occupant who has assumed an incorrect sitting position. The driver is responsible for all occupants transported in the ve-hicle, especially children.
The following list contains examples of sitting posi-tions that can be dangerous for all vehicle occu-pants.
Whenever the vehicle is in motion:
• Never stand in the vehicle.
• Never stand on the seats.
• Never kneel on the seats.
• Never tilt the backrest too far to the rear.
• Never lean against the dash panel.
• Never lie on the seats in the passenger com-partment.
• Never sit on the front edge of a seat.
• Never sit sideways.

• Never put your feet out of a window.
• Never put your feet on the dash panel.

• Never travel in a footwell.
• Never sit on the armrest.
• Never travel on a seat without wearing the seat belt.
• Never use the bed.
• Never travel in the luggage compartment or on the load surface.
A WARNING
Every Incorrect sitting position In the vehicle Increases the risk of severe or fatal Injuries In the event of an accident or sudden driving or braking manoeuvre.
• All vehicle occupants must maintain a cor-rect sitting position and wear their seat belt properly while the vehicle Is In motion.
• Sitting In an incorrect position, not fasten-ing the seat belt, or too short a distance to the alrbag exposes the occupants to critical or fatal injuries, especially if the alrbags de-ploy and strike an occupant who has as-sumed an Incorrect sitting position.

• Seat belts 79
• Child seats (accessories) 96
• Cleaning and caring for the interior 388
• Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts 394
• Consumer information 404
A WARNING
Never rely solely on the airbag system for your protection.
• Even if an alrbag 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 79, Seat belts.
• Before every trip, each vehicle occupant must adopt the correct sitting position, cor-rectly fasten the seat belt belonging to their seat and keep it fastened properly throughout the trip. This applies to ail vehicle occupants and also in urban traffic.
A 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 seal The objects could enter the deployment zone of the airbag during sudden braking or driving manoeuvres and then be flung dangerously through the vehicle interi-or 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.
BB I Before the journey
A WARNING
External devices in the vehicle that are not properly secured can be flung though the in-terior and cause injuries, if there is a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
• You should never position or attach an ex-ternal device on a door, on the windscreen or above or near to the areas marked "AIRBAG" on the steering wheel, the dash panel and the seat backrests, or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. External devices can cause serious Injury in an accident, especial-ly when the airbags deploy.
A WARNING
The alrbag system can only be triggered once. The system will have to be replaced if the airbags have been triggered.
• Alrbags that have deployed and any affec-ted system parts must be immediately re-placed with new parts that are approved by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles for the re-spective vehicle.
• Repairs and modifications to your vehicle should only be carried out by a qualified workshop. Qualified workshops have the nec-essary tools, diagnostic equipment, repair in-formation and qualified personnel.
• Never use recycled alrbag components or components that have been taken from end-of-life vehicles in your vehicle.
• Never alter any components of the airbag system.
A WARNING
Fine dust particles or steam may be released when the alrbags trigger. This Is normal and does not mean that there is a fire in the vehi-cle.
• The fine dust can cause irritation to the skin and eye membranes and cause breath-ing difficulties, particularly for people suffer-ing from asthma or people who have {had) other respiratory problems. To help reduce breathing difficulties, get out of the vehicle or open the windows or doors for more fresh air.
• If you come into contact with the dust, you should wash your hands and face with a mild soap and water before eating.
• Do not let the dust get into your eyes or into open wounds.
