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.

CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMENT

Safety
for
children

Children
under
12
years
of age
should
normally
travel
on the
rear

seat1>(Caravelle,
Kombi,
Double-

cab).
Depending
upon
their
age,
height
and
weight,
they
must
be pro­

tected
with
either
a child
restraint
system
or the
seat
belt
provided.

A
child may also occupy the
front
passenger
seat
if the restraint system used has been

expressly
approved for this purpose by the
manufacturer. One should bear in mind however
that
they are generally safer on the
rear seat.
On no
account
should
children
- or

babies
travel
on an
adult's
lap.
• Babies up to about 9 months old/10 kg are best protected, in an accident,
with
a
safety seat or a special safety carrier.
• Experience has shown
that
babies and
small
children up to about 3 years/18 kg are
best protected in child seats or safety
carriers where they can lie or sit facing the rear of the car.
• Children up to about 7 years of age/25 kg, depending on their height, are safest when

secured
in a child seat or by a safety seat

cushion.
• Children over about 7 years of age may

use
the three point belts or two point belts
provided on the rear seats. It is important to
ensure
that
the diagonal part of the belt
fits

over the centre of the shoulder - and does not
make
contact
with
the
neck.
The
lap part of the belt must pass across the
pel­

vis
and not
over
the child's stomach. If this is not so a safety cushion must be

used
to raise the seating position.
When using the belt the section "Seat belts" should also be noted.
Note the following points when purchasing,
installing and using a child restraint system:
• For safety reasons always use a restraint system which conforms to the international
safety standard ECE R 44. Restraint
sys­

tems
that
can be connected to the seat belts provided in the car are recommended.
• Only use child seats or safety carriers of the type which have a large,
flat
area in
con­

tact
with
the car's seat upholstery. Child
seats
which have feet or tubular frames and no
flat
base can easily penetrate
into
the

car's
upholstery, and are therefore not so
safe.
• We recommend
that
child restraint
sys­

tems from the genuine accessory pro­gramme of the Volkswagen dealers are
used.
Here under the name "Bobsy" re­
straint systems for all age groups are of­

fered21.
These systems
fulfil
all the require­ ments mentioned and over and above this, have been developed and tested by us for

use
in Volkswagen vehicles.
• Special care must be taken if child re­ straint systems are used which are bolted
on at the same point as the belts provided in the vehicle. One must ensure
that
the bolt

is
long enough so
that
the
full
length of the
threaded hole is utilized and tightened to a
torque of 30 Nm
Furthermore, one should ensure
that
the
belt itself cannot become damaged by
sharp edged buckles etc.
• For the
installation
and use, at­
tention
must
be
paid
to the
legal
regulations
and the
instructions
of
the
restraint
system
manufacturer.

Not in all export markets

Observe
any statutory regulations to the
con­

trary.

Notes
on loading
In the interests of good handling ensure
that

the load (persons and luggage) is distributed evenly. Heavy items should always be car­ried as near to the rear axle as possible or
better still, between the
axles.

The permissible axle and gross
weights must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
Attention
• It should be noted
that
when
transporting heavy items the handling
will
change due to the
displacement of the centre of
gravity. Driving style and speed must be altered to suit.
• The load must be stowed so

that
no items of luggage can fly
forward if brakes are applied suddenly. - If necessary use the lashing
eyes.
• One should ensure
that
the heater el­
ements in the rear window on the Variant
are not damaged by articles rubbing against
them.
• The stale air
escapes
through ventilation openings at the rear. The function of these openings must not be impaired.
Attention
• When vehicle is on the move no persons may be in the luggage
compartment. This includes

children.
Every passenger must
be belted in properly - see page
15.

• Never drive
with
the tailgate or
wing doors not properly closed otherwise exhaust gas can be
drawn
into
the vehicle
interior.
On
vehicles
with
lashing eyes the load
should always be secured to the
eyes.

Each
eye has a tensile strength of 500 kg.
