passenger 's side.
The air bag s are intended
to supplement the
three-point safety belts. When the sa fety
belts are properly worn, the supplemental air
bag resiraints can provide additiona l protec­
tion for the chest and
face of the driver and
the front seat passe nger in the even t o f a se­
vere frontal collision.
Aside from providing proven safety benefits ,
the safety belts are particularly important to
help keep front seat occupants in the proper
seated position so that the air bag can unfold
prope rly and provide added protection as in­
tended.
Fo r
details see page 44.
The air bag system consists of the follow­ing components:
an electron ic control /mon itoring unit,
an inflatable air bag equipped with a gas
genera tor located inside the steering wheel
and,
an inf latable air bag with a gas generator
inside the instrument panel for the front pas­
sen
ger,
an indicator light to the left of the light
swi tch (see page 72).
addition to this your vehicle is also
equipped with a kneebar for extra protec­
tion.
The indicator light (readi ness light) will light
up for a few seconds each time the ignition
is switched on.
The light monitors the electric control/mon i­
toring unit, ignitor sensor circuits, and sys­
tem wiring. The
system must b
e inspected if the indi­
c ator light:
comes on while drivi ng.
any of these conditions occur, have the system inspected immediately by your authorized Volkswagen dealer. Otherwise, the air bag may not function properly in case of a frontal impact.
