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.
Before the journey
• Never lean out of a window .
• Never put your feet out of a window.
• Never put your feet on the dash panel.
• Never place your feet on the seat cushion or seat backrest.
• 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.

A WARNING (Continued)
• The steering wheel must always point to-wards the chest and not towards the face. This ensures that the driver front airbag pro-vides maximum protection in the event of an accident.
• While driving, always keep both hands on the outside of the steering wheel (at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions =>Fig. 47). This reduces the risk of injury if the driver front alrbag Is triggered.

Fastening and unfastening seat belts
Fig. 65 Inserting the seat belt latch plate into lhe buckle.
f""'"'1'l1 First read and observe the Introductory L-J,:.iJ information and safety warnings & on page 79.
If worn properly, seat belts hold the vehicle occu-pants in the correct sitting position during an acci-dent or braking manoeuvre, providing maximum protection &.
When the belt webbing has been completely re-tracted and a clicking sound can be heard as the seat belt is being rolled up, the vehicle is equipped with lockable seat belts. The seat belt locking func-tion should be used only for fitting certain child re-straint systems 96, Child seals (accesso-ries). A locked seat belt must be released when a vehicle occupant uses the seat belt.
Fastening the seat belts
Fasten seat belts before every trip.
• Always adjust the front seat and head restraint correctly 61.
• Engage the rear seat backrests in an upright position &.
• Take hold of the latch plate and pull it evenly across your chest and pelvis. Do not twist the belt in the process &.
Before the journey
A WARNING (Continued)
• Regularly check to see if 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. Fig. 66 Removing the latch plate from the buckle.
• Insert the latch plate securely into the buckle belonging to the occupied seat 65.
• Pull on the seat belt to ensure that the latch plate is securely locked in the buckle.
Unfastening the seat belts
Unfasten seat belts only when the vehicle is sta-
• Press the red button in the buckle 66. The latch plate is released and springs out.

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.

A DANGE;R (Continued) --
• No other people, animals or objects may be carried between the occupants of the front seats and the alrbag deployment zone. Make sure that children and passengers also keep to this rule.
• Do not attach any objects, e.g. mobile nav-igation devices, to the windscreen above the front alrbag on the front passenger side.
• Do not cover or stick anything on the steering wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of the alrbag unit In the dash panel on the front passenger side, and do not modify them In any way.
