Fig. 65 On the lefthand side of the vehicle: location and deployment zone of the curtain airbag
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction
In the interior, a curtain airbag is fitted above the doors on both the driver and front passenger sides → Fig. 65 . The airbag location is identified
by the text AIRBAG.
Once triggered, the airbag inflates at high speed.
Always keep the deployment zones of the combined curtain and side airbags clear.
No other people, animals or objects may be carried between the occupants of the front seats and the airbag deployment zone. 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 fit seat covers or protective covers over the seats unless they have been expressly approved for use in the vehicle. Otherwise the
combined combined curtain and side airbags may not be able to deploy if it has been triggered.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the driver and front passenger seat could hinder the proper function of the combined curtain and side airbags and cause
serious injury.
Never remove the front seats from the vehicle or alter any components of these seats.
If too much pressure is applied to the backrest side bolster, the combined curtain and side airbags may not be triggered correctly, may not
trigger at all or may trigger unexpectedly.
Any damage to the original seat upholstery or around the seams of the combined curtain and side airbag units must be repaired immediately
by a qualified workshop.

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.
