Belt height adjuster
Fig. 69 Next to the front seats: belt height adjust-er.
r--T'n First read and observe the introductory L-W.I information and safety warnings & on page 79.
A WARNING !Continued)
• The belt webbing should not lie over hard or fragile objects, such as glasses, pens or keys.
• Never use seat belt clips, retaining rings or similar items to alter the seat belt routing.
m If a person's physical build prevents them L.!:J from routing the seat belt properly, contact a qualified workshop to find out about any special modifications so that the seat bells and airbags can provide the optimum level of protection. Volks-wagen Commercial Vehicles recommends using a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership for this purpose. The seat belt height adjusters for the front seats can be used to adjust the position of the seat belt on the shoulder so that it can be fastened properly:
• Push and hold the upper part of the shoulder belt guide 69.
• Push the shoulder belt guide up or down so that the seat belt lies over the middle of the shoul-der 85, Seat belt routing.
• Let go of the shoulder belt guide.
• Pull sharply on the seat bell to check whether the shoulder belt guide is engaged securely.
Never adjust the seat belt height when the ve-hicle is in motion. Automatic belt retractor and belt tensioner
r--f"'n First read and observe the introductory L-W.I information and safety warnings & on page 79.
The seat belts in the vehicle are part of the vehicle safety concept 91 and include the follow-ing important functions:
86 Before the journey
Automatic belt retractor
Every seat belt is equipped with an automatic belt retractor on the shoulder part of the belt. Full free-dom of movement is made possible when the shoulder belt is pulled slowly or when the vehicle is travelling at normal speeds. However, if the belt is IIJ>

pulled out quickly or during sudden braking, during travel in mountains or bends and during acceleration, the automatic belt retractor is locked.
Belt tensioners
The seat belts for the front seat occupants are equipped with belt tensioners.
The belt tensioners are activated by sensors dur-ing severe frontal, side and rear collisions. They tighten the seat belts against the direction in which they are pulled. Any slack in the seat belt is retrac-ted, which can reduce the passenger's movement forwards or in the direction of the impact. The belt
tensioner works together with the airbag system. The belt tensioner will not be activated if the vehi-cle rolls over if the combined curtain and side air-bags are not activated.
A fine dust may be produced when the airbags are triggered. This is quite normal and does not mean that there is a fire in the vehicle.
W All safety requirements must be observed L!.J when the vehicle or components of the sys-tem are scrapped. Qualified workshops are familiar with these requirements 87. Service and disposal of belt tensioners
r-f'n First read and observe the introductory L-J,:.U information and safety warnings & on page 79.
Seat belts may become damaged during any work on the belt tensioners or while removing or refitting any vehicle parts in conjunction with any other re-pair work. This damage will not always be noticea-ble. The consequence may be that the belt ten-sioners could function incorrectly, or not function at all, in the event of an accident.
Regulations must be observed to ensure that the effectiveness of the belt tensioner is not reduced and that removed parts do not cause any injuries or environmental pollution. Qualified workshops are familiar with these requirements.

The risk of severe or fatal injuries may be in-creased if the seat belts, automatic belt re-tractors and belt tensioners are not used cor-rectly, or if they are repaired by a non-profes-sional. As a result, the belt tensioners may not be triggered when they should, or they may be triggered unexpectedly.
• Any repairs, adjustments or removal and refitting of parts in the belt tensioners or seat belts should always be carried out by a quali-fied workshop and never by yourself 394.
