Central
locking system*
With this system all the doors, and - de­
pending
on the position of the tailgate or
wing door lock - the tailgate or wing door

can
also be locked and unlocked.

The
system is operated from the
driver's
door or
front
passenger door - from

outside
with the key, from inside with the
locking
knob.

Note

The
central locking system can only func­
tion correctly when the driver's and
front
passenger
doors are properly
closed.

When
locking,
the locking knobs on all doors must move down. If the knob on one door

does
not move at any time, open the door

concerned
and close it properly.

Attention

•
When
the locking knobs in the

driver's
or
front
passenger doors
are pressed
down
all
other
doors
are locked
automatically.
Since it
would
be
difficult
to ren­
der assistance
from
the outside in an emergency,
when
the doors
are locked, children should
never
be
left
in the vehicle on
their

own. • Locking the doors can
prevent

them
from
bursting open in an
extraordinary
accident situation. Locked doors also
prevent
per­

sons
from
entering
the car forci­ bly e.g. at
traffic
lights.
However,
in an emergency
they
make
it

more
difficult
for outside
help
to
open the doors.
Notes: If the central locking system should develop

a
fault, all the locks can be operated nor­
mally,
see next page.

The
sliding door can be secured or released
separately
with the safety catch.
Sliding door and
tailgate
or
wing

door can be locked or unlocked separately
with the key.
To
unlock the tailgate or wing door insert key

and
turn
it to right (c). Hold in this position

and
press button in.
If the key is withdrawn in the horizontal
posi­

tion (a), locking of the tailgate or wing door
will be controlled by the central locking
sys­

tem when it is closed again.

When
the key is withdrawn in the vertical
position (b) and tailgate or wing door
closed,

it will be locked all the time. The tailgate can
then only be unlocked with the key.

Seat
belts

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
It has
been
proven
that
seat
belts

give
good
protection
in accidents. In

most
countries
therefore
the
wear­
ing of
seat
belts
is
required
by law.

Attention

The
belts
should be put on
before
every
journey
-
even
in
town

traffic.
This
applies
also to the
rear
seats.

Pregnant
women
too should al­

ways
wear
a
seat
belt.

The
routing
of the
belt
is of
major
importance
to the
protective
ef­

fect
of the
belt.
How the
belt

should be
worn
is described on
the
next
pages.
General
notes

• The
belt
must
not be
twisted.

• Two persons
(including
children)
must never be secured
with
one belt. It is
particularly dangerous to put the belt round

a
child sitting on a persons lap.
• The belt should not be worn over hard or
breakable
articles (glasses, ball pens, key
rings,
pipes, etc.) because this can cause in­

jury
to the body.
•
Loose,
bulky clothing (e.g. overcoats
over
jackets) affects the fit and function of
the belts.
• The belt must not be jammed anywhere or rub on any sharp edges.
• The lock tongue may only be inserted into the lock part belonging to the appropri­
ate seat otherwise, the protective effect is
impaired.
• The slot for the belt tongue rr„s: -;: ze

blocked
with
paper or anyth'-c s ~
otherwise the tongue cannot 5"a;e properly.
• The belts must be kept clean otherwise the retractors may not work properly (see
also
"Care
of car" section).
• Seat belts which have become damagec or have been stressed in an accident and stretched must be renewed - preferably by

a
Volkswagen dealer. The anchorages

should
also be checked.
• In some export countries seat belts
could
be used on which the functions differ
from those described on the next pages.
• On the Delivery Van there are no belt an­
chorage
points in the load compartment.

-DW
children can be carried safely in the ve- " cle is explained on page 18.
