The front passenger front airbag should be switched off only in exceptional circumstances.
To prevent damage to the airbag system, switch the front passenger front airbag on and off only
when the ignition is switched off.
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the key-operated switch is set to the correct position.
Switch off the front passenger front airbag only if in exceptional circumstances a child seat is fitted
on the front passenger seat.
Switch the front passenger front airbag back on again as soon as the child seat on the front
passenger seat is no longer being used.

WARNING
Do not leave the vehicle key in the key switch while driving.
Strong vibrations may cause the vehicle key to turn in the key switch, which could cause the front
passenger front airbag to be activated.
Untimely inflation of the front passenger front airbag could lead to serious or fatal injuries.

NOTICE
If the key bit is not inserted far enough, the key switch could be damaged when the key is turned.

NOTICE
Do not leave the vehicle key in the key switch, as this could result in damage to the interior door
trim, dash panel, key switch or vehicle key when the front passenger door is closed.

years old) and group 1/2 (up to about seven years old) with
an integral belt system are best for children over the relevant weight limit.
Weight classes 2/3: groups 2 and 3 include child seats with a backrest, and booster seats with no
backrest. Child seats with a backrest have integrated seat belt routing and side cushions, and so
provide better protection than booster seats with no backrest. Volkswagen therefore recommends
the use of child seats with a backrest. Group 2 child seats are for children up to the age of about
seven, group 3 child seats for those older than seven.
Not every child will fit in the child seat specified for their weight group. Likewise, not every seat will
fit in every vehicle. Therefore it is vital to check that the child fits properly in their child seat and that
the child seat can be securely fastened in the vehicle.
Child seats by approval categories
Child seats can be classified as universal, semi-universal or vehicle-specific (all in accordance with
regulation ECE-R 44), or as i-Size (in accordance with regulation ECE-R 129).
Universal: child seats with universal approval are approved for use in all vehicles. No type list is
required. ISOFIX child seats with universal approval must also be secured using a strap over the top
of the vehicle seat (top tether).
Semi-universal: semi-universal approval requires other safety devices for attaching the seat (that
require additional testing) in addition to the standard requirements for universal approval. Child
seats with semi-universal approval come with a type list. The seats should be used only in vehicles
that are included on this list.
Vehicle-specific: child seats with vehicle-specific approval must have undergone dynamic testing in
each model of vehicle for which they are approved. These child seats also come with a type list.
i-Size: child seats with i-Size approval must conform to the installation and safety requirements
stipulated in regulation ECE-R 129. Contact the child seat manufacturer to find out which child seats
are approved for this vehicle in accordance with i-Size.
1) Regulation ECE-R 129 has not yet been implemented by the state authorities in all countries.

-facing child seat is on the front passenger seat.
Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and adjust to its highest position to create the
largest possible distance between the child seat and the front passenger front airbag.
Move the backrest to the upright position.
Adjust the seat belt height adjuster to the highest position.
Use only child seats that have been approved by the child seat manufacturer for use on a front
passenger seat with front and side airbags.

WARNING
To help avoid injuries caused by inflation of a curtain airbag or side airbag:
Ensure that no children are seated within the airbag deployment zones Airbag system
Do not place any objects in the side airbag deployment zones.
Securing systems
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Different countries use different securing systems for safely fitting child seats in the vehicle.
Overview of securing systems
ISOFIX: ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for fitting child seats in the vehicle quickly and
safely. The ISOFIX attachment system creates a rigid connection between the child seat and the
vehicle body.
Compatible child seats have two rigid attachment arms that engage in ISOFIX attachment points at
the bottom of the backrest (on the outer rear seats). The ISOFIX securing system as described here is
specific to Europe Securing a child seat with ISOFIX
foot may sometimes have to be used in addition to the ISOFIX anchor points described above.
Three-point automatic seat belt. It is preferable to secure child seats using the ISOFIX system, if
available, rather than with a three-point automatic seat belt Securing c

Recommended child seat securing systems
Volkswagen recommends that child seats are secured as follows:
Infant carrier or rear-facing child seat: ISOFIX and support foot.
Front-facing child seat: ISOFIX and top tether and possibly also support foot.

WARNING

Ensure that the support foot is always correctly and safely installed.

Securing child seats with a seat belt
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
