WARNING
Driving without head restraints or with improperly adjusted
head restraints increases the risk of serious injuries in a colli-
sion.
Always drive with the head restraints in place and properly
adjusted to help minimize the risk of neck injury in a crash.
Always reinstall head restraints as soon as possible so that
vehicle occupants are properly protected.
NOTICE
When removing or reinstalling the head restraint, take care that
the head restraint does not strike the headliner or other parts of

the vehicle. The headliner or other parts of the vehicle could
otherwise be damaged.
Adjusting the steering wheel position

Fig. 52 Manual adjustment for the steering wheel position.

WARNING
Improper use of the steering column adjustment feature can
result in serious personal injury and even death.
Always pull the lever (1) firmly upward after adjusting the
steering column so that the steering wheel does not change
position suddenly while the vehicle is moving.
Never adjust the steering column while the vehicle is moving.
If you find that you need to adjust the steering wheel while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle in a safe place and make the proper ad-
justment.
Never adjust the steering wheel so that it points toward your
face. Always make sure that the steering wheel points toward
your chest. Otherwise, the airbag system cannot protect you
properly in the event of a crash.
Always hold the steering wheel on the outside of the steering
wheel rim with your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions to help reduce the risk of serious personal injury if the
driver's airbag inflates.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or
with your hands anywhere inside the steering wheel or on the
steering wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way
increases the risk of severe injury to the arms, hands, and head
if the driver airbag deploys.
Center armrest

ment (arrow).

WARNING
The center armrest can restrict the driver's arm movement and
cause crashes and serious personal injury.
Always keep storage compartments in the center armrest
closed while driving.
Never let a passenger, especially a child, ride on the center
armrest. Improper seating position can increase the risk of se-
rious personal injury in a crash.
Never put hot drinks or other liquids in the cup holder. Hot
liquids can spill when the vehicle is moving as well as during
braking or other sudden maneuvers.
NOTICE
Do not press on the cup holder cover when raising the rear cen-
ter armrest. The cup holder could open and be damaged.

Seat functions

WARNING
Certain medical conditions, such as paralysis and diabetes, and
certain medications can increase the risk of serious burns
when the seat heating feature is switched on.
Vehicle occupants who have a low level of perceived pain or
a lowered awareness of pain can receive serious burns to the
back, buttocks, and legs that take a long time to heal or may
never heal completely.
Never use the seat heating feature if you or your passengers
are at risk of being burned because of a medical condition.
Take regular breaks and get out of the vehicle, particularly on
long trips. Consult your doctor for advice regarding your spe-
cific condition.
Never let exposed skin remain in contact with the seat uphol-
stery when the seat heating is being used.
WARNING
A wet seat can cause the seat heating to malfunction and in-
crease the risk of serious burns.
Always make sure the seats are dry before using the seat
heating.
Never sit on the seat with wet clothes.
Never put damp or wet things including clothes on the seat.
Never spill liquids on the seats.
NOTICE
To help prevent damage to electrical and other parts in the
seat, do not kneel on the front seats or apply concentrated pres-
sure to a small area of the seat or backrest.
Liquids, sharp objects and things that do not let the heat in the
seat escape into the air, including, for example, a child restraint,
a blanket, or seat covers on the seat can damage seat heating.
If you smell an odor, immediately shut off seat heating and
have it checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or author-
ized Volkswagen Service Facility.
