Properly using safety belt extenders:
Use a safety belt extender only when the factory installed safety
belt is too short when worn properly by a person in proper seating
position.
Only use 1 safety belt extender per seat and vehicle safety belt.
Always remove the safety belt extender when it is not needed.
Never leave a safety belt extender attached to the vehicle safety
belt buckle when the extender is not needed and being used with the
safety belt. Otherwise, the airbag control module will receive an incor-
rect signal from the safety belt buckle and this will prevent the airbag
from working properly for a person who is not using the safety belt.
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 the
airbag control unit during a collision that the front passenger seat is

WARNING
Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text mes-
sages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result
in a collision and serious personal injury.
Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Whenever stalled or stopped for repair, move the vehicle a
safe distance off the road, stop the engine, turn on the emer-
gency flashers, and use other warning devices to warn ap-
proaching traffic.
Never park the vehicle in areas where the hot catalytic con-
verter and exhaust system can come into contact with dry
grass, brush, spilled fuel, oil, or other material that can catch
fire.
A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself
and others. Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning
triangle to warn oncoming traffic.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in
vehicle damage.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights provide bright, uniform
lighting to help you see and be seen. The light comes from an electric
arc between two electrodes in the gas-filled bulb. Over time, the elec-
trodes can wear down and the gap between them will get wider. The
HID lamp’s control unit then increases the voltage to keep the arc’s
brightness constant. However, the commonly called “Xenon” bulbs
will also ultimately burn out. Before they burn out, HID lamps can
flicker. A message will then appear in the MFI. This is your reminder
to see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service facility to check the headlights.
