Sitting correctly and safely
Adjusting the seat position
Assuming an incorrect sitting position in the vehicle can increase the risk of severe or fatal injuries during a sudden driving or braking
manoeuvre, in the event of a collision or accident, or if the airbags are triggered.
All vehicle occupants must assume a correct sitting position before setting off and maintain this position throughout the trip. This also applies
to the fastening of seat belts.
The number of vehicle occupants must never exceed the number of seats with seat belts in the vehicle.
Always secure children in the vehicle in an authorised restraint system which is suitable for their height and weight  → Airbag system   ,
 → Child seats   .
Always keep your feet in the footwell while the vehicle is in motion. Never place your feet on the seat or dash panel, for example, and never
ride with your feet out the window. When you are sat like this, the airbag and seat belt cannot provide optimal protection and could actually
increase the risk of injury during an accident.

Correct sitting position
Fig. 39 There must be a distance  of at least 25 cm between the driver and the steering wheel
Every incorrect sitting position in the vehicle increases the risk of severe or fatal injuries in the event of an accident or sudden driving or braking
manoeuvre.
All vehicle occupants must maintain a correct sitting position and wear their seat belt properly while the vehicle is in motion.
Sitting in an incorrect position, not fastening the seat belt, or being too close to the airbag exposes the occupants to the risk of sustaining
critical or fatal injuries, especially if the airbags are triggered and strike an occupant who has assumed an incorrect sitting position.

 – Front passenger front airbag in the dash panel.
Indicator lamps
Fine dust or steam may be released when the airbags trigger. This is normal and does not mean that there is a fire in the vehicle.
The fine dust can cause irritation to the skin and eye membranes and cause breathing difficulties, particularly for people suffering from
asthma or people who have (had) other respiratory problems. To help reduce breathing difficulties, get out of the vehicle or open the
windows or doors for more fresh air.
If you come into contact with the dust, you should wash your hands and face with a mild soap and water before eating.
Do not let the dust get into your eyes or into open wounds.
If dust has entered your eyes, rinse them with water.
WARNING
Cleaning agents that contain solvents cause the surface of the airbag modules to become porous. In an accident that triggers the airbag, loose
plastic parts can cause serious injury.
Never clean the dash panel or the airbag covers with cleansers that contain solvents.

The area in the red frame  → Fig. 65  is covered by the curtain airbag when triggered (deployment zone). For this reason, you must never leave or
attach any items in this area  → .
In a side collision the curtain airbag is triggered on the impact side of the vehicle.
In a side collision, the curtain airbags reduce the risk of injury to the areas of the body facing the impact for vehicle occupants on the front seats
and outer rear seats.
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
 → Basic information on fitting and using child seats 
 → Types of child seat 
 → Securing systems  
 → Securing a child seat with ISOFIX  
 → Securing child seats with the upper strap (top tether)  
 → Securing child seats with a seat belt  
Using child seats can reduce the risk of injury to the child if there is an accident. Always use child seats when driving with children.
Note the following:
Child seats are classified into groups depending on the size, age and weight of child for which they are designed.
Various securing systems are used to secure child seats in the vehicle.
For safety reasons child seats should always be fitted to the rear seats. They should only be fitted to the front passenger seat in exceptional
cases.
Volkswagen recommends child seats from the Volkswagen range of accessories. These child seats have been developed and approved for use
in Volkswagen vehicles.
Once triggered, the airbag inflates at high speed.
Always leave the deployment zones of the curtain airbags clear.
Never secure any items to the cover or in the deployment zone of the curtain airbag.
Vehicle occupants sitting on the front seats and rear outer seats must never carry any people, pets or objects in the deployment zone
between themselves and the airbags. Make sure that children and passengers also keep to this rule.
The built-in coat hooks should only be used for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any heavy or sharp objects in the pockets.
Do not fit any accessories to the doors.
Do not install any sunblinds onto the side windows unless they have been expressly approved for use in your vehicle.
Only push the sunblinds over to the side windows if no items are attached to them (e.g. pens or the remote control for a garage door).
