The rear seat backrest must be securely latched into place in order
for the safety belts on the rear seats to provide optimal protection.

WARNING
Improper folding and improper latching of the rear seat
backrest can cause serious personal injury.
Always make sure there are no people or animals in the area
around the rear seat backrest when folding it forward.
Never fold the rear seat backrest forward or back while the
vehicle is moving.
When folding the rear seat backrest back up, make sure that
the safety belt does not get caught or damaged.
Keep hands, fingers, feet and other body parts out of the way
when folding the rear seat backrest forward or back.
Each rear seat backrest must be securely latched in the up-
right position so that the safety belts on the rear seats can pro-
vide protection. This is particularly the case for the middle seat
on the rear seat bench.
If a seat is used with an unsecured backrest, the passenger
will move forward together with the rear seat backrest during
sudden braking, driving maneuvers, or in a collision.
If the red marking on the button (2) is visible, this indicates
that the backrest is not latched into place. Always check to
make sure that the red marking is not visible whenever the rear
seat backrest is in the upright position.
No one, including children, may ride on the rear seats if the
rear seat backrest is folded down or not correctly latched.
NOTICE
Before folding the rear seat backrest forward, adjust the front
seats so that the rear seat's head restraint or backrest cushion
will not touch the front seats.

Opening or closing the center armrest storage compartment
To open, press the button ⇒ fig. 126 (small arrow) when the center
armrest is folded down and then open the cover upward.
To close, fold the lid down ⇒ .
WARNING
The center armrest must always be folded up and the storage
compartment and cup holders closed to reduce the risk of inju-
ries when the vehicle is moving.
Never let anybody, especially children, ride on the rear center
armrest or in the center position on the rear seat when the arm-
rest is folded down. An improper seating position can increase
the risk of serious injury in a crash.
Close the storage compartment only if no one is in the way.
NOTICE
Do not press on the cup holder cover when raising the center
armrest. The cup holder could open and be damaged.

WARNING
Changing the vehicle's suspension including use of unap-
proved tire-rim combinations can change airbag performance
and increase the risk of serious personal injury in a crash.
Never install suspension components that do not have the
same performance characteristics as the components originally
installed on your vehicle.
Never use tire-rim combinations that have not been approved
by Volkswagen.
WARNING
Leaving the optional safety belt extender attached to the safety
belt buckle on the front passenger seat when the safety belt is
not being used will prevent the Advanced Airbag System from
working properly and can increase the risk of serious personal
injury in a collision.
Leaving the extender attached to the safety belt buckle when
the front seat is occupied and the safety belt is not being used
will signal to the airbag control unit that the front passenger
seat is occupied and that the safety belt is being used. The
electronic control unit for the airbag system will then receive
incorrect information that will
– cause the safety belt pretensioner to deploy unnecessarily
in collisions and
– cause the front passenger airbag to deploy later in colli-
sions in which the front airbag would otherwise be triggered
earlier to help protect an unrestrained front seat passenger.
Always remove the safety belt extender when it is not needed
and stow it safely.
Never use the safety belt extender to secure a child restraint.
