WARNING
Improper use of power windows can result in serious personal
injury.
Never let anyone get in the way of a power window when
closing it.
When locking the vehicle from the outside, make sure that no
one, especially children, remains in the vehicle. The windows
will not open in case of an emergency.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. You
can still use the power windows for several minutes after the
ignition is switched off as long as the driver or front passenger
door has not been opened.
Always use the safety switch when children are in the back
seat to disable the rear power windows and keep them from be-
ing opened and closed.
NOTICE
The windows must go down slightly when you unlock the vehi-
cle. Otherwise the windows and seals could be damaged when
opening the doors.
If the power windows malfunction, the one-touch feature, as well
as pinch protection may not work properly. See an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility right
away.

WARNING
Improper seating positions increase the risk of severe or fatal
injuries in a crash or other accidents, especially when the air-
bag deploys.
All occupants must sit properly and be properly restrained at
all times.
Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat-
ing positions with safety belts available.
Always secure children in the vehicle with an approved and
suitable restraint system appropriate for their age, weight, and
height
Always keep your feet on the floor in front of the seat. Never
rest them on the seat, instrument panel, out of the window, etc.
The airbag system and safety belt will not be able to protect
you properly and can even increase the risk of injury in a crash.

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.

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.

WARNING
Not wearing a safety belt or wearing an improperly positioned
safety belt increases the risk of severe personal injury or death.
Safety belts offer optimum protection only when they are used
properly.
Properly worn safety belts are the single most effective
means of reducing the risk of serious injury and death in a col-
lision or other accident. For this reason, always wear your safe-
ty belt properly and make sure all passengers wear their safety
belts properly as well whenever the vehicle is moving.
The driver must always make sure that every person in the
vehicle is properly seated on a seat of his or her own, properly
fastens the safety belts belonging to that seat before the vehi-
cle starts to move, and keeps the belts properly fastened while
riding in the vehicle. This applies even when just driving
around town. Therefore, always wear your safety belts and
make sure that everybody in your vehicle is properly restrained.
Always secure children in the vehicle with a restraint system
appropriate for their age, weight and height ⇒  Child safety and
child restraints.
Always fasten safety belts correctly before driving off and
make sure that all passengers are properly restrained.
Never attach the safety belt to the buckle of another seat. At-
taching the safety belt to the wrong buckle will reduce safety
belt effectiveness and can cause serious personal injury.
Never let any objects or liquids get into the safety belt latch
and prevent it from working properly.
Never remove a safety belt while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so will increase your risk of being injured or killed.
Never strap more than one person, including small children,
into any single safety belt.
Never let children or babies ride sitting on your lap, and nev-
er place a safety belt over a child sitting on your lap.
Never wear belts over rigid or breakable objects in or on your
clothing, such as eyeglasses, pens, keys, etc., as these may
cause injury.

Several layers of heavy clothing (such as a coat worn over
top of a sports jacket) may interfere with proper positioning of
the safety belt and reduce the overall effectiveness of the sys-
tem.
Never use comfort clips or devices that create slack in the
shoulder belt. However, special clips may be required for the
correct use of some child restraint systems.
Safety belts offer optimum protection only when the seat
backrest is upright and belts are correctly positioned on the
body.

d Check the condition of all safety belts regularly.
d Keep safety belts clean.
d Keep objects and liquids away from safety belt webbing, the safety
belt buckle tongue, and the safety belt buckle latch and opening.
d Do not pinch or damage the safety belt or buckle tongue (for in-
stance, when closing a door).
d Never modify, disassemble or try to repair safety belts and safety
belt anchorages.
d Always fasten your safety belt properly before driving and keep it
fastened whenever the vehicle is moving.
Twisted safety belt
If it is difficult to pull the safety belt out of the belt guide, the belt may
be twisted inside the side trim because the belt retracted too quickly
when it was taken off.
Hold the safety belt tongue, slowly and carefully pull safety belt all
the way out.
Untwist the safety belt and slowly return the belt by hand.
If you cannot untwist the safety belt, wear it anyway. Make sure that
the safety belt is twisted in a spot where it does not come in direct
contact with your body. Have the safety belt untwisted immediately by
an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.
Lockable safety belt
The retractors for the rear seat safety belts and the front passenger
safety belt have a switchable locking feature for child restraints in
addition to the emergency locking feature. Whenever a child restraint
is installed with a safety belt, the safety belt must be locked so that
the safety belt webbing cannot unreel. The switchable locking feature
lets you lock the belt so that a child restraint can be properly installed
and, for example, so that it can't tip to the side when the vehicle goes
around a corner ⇒  Child safety and child restraints.
To see whether a safety belt is lockable, pull the safety belt all the
way out of the safety belt retractor. You should then hear a “clicking”
sound as the belt winds back into the retractor reel. Test the switcha-
ble locking feature by pulling on the belt. When the switchable locking
