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.
