Number of seats
The vehicle has a total of 4 seats: 2 at the front and 2 at the rear. Each seat is equipped with a seat belt.
Retrofitting seats
Additional seats can be retrofitted, provided that the maximum number of seats quoted by the man-ufacturer is not exceeded. For this purpose, seat anchor points should be fitted to the vehicle floor by a specialist workshop in accordance with Volks-wagen AG guidelines.
These additional seats must also have seat belt anchor points and suitable seat belts.
The Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership can provide you with more information on retrofit-ting seats.
Furniture Catches
The flaps and doors are fitted with furniture catch-es to prevent them from opening when the vehicle is in motion.

r-T'n First read and observe the introductory L-.bU information and safety warnings & on page 332.
Activating the childproof lock
• Press any button on the roof display to activate the roof display.
• Press and hold down the @) button for several seconds.
• Press the function button .... or ..-until CHILD-PROOF LOCK is displayed.
• Press the@) button.
Operation
r-T'n First read and observe the introductory L-.bU information and safety warnings & on page 332.
The supplementary heating exhaust system, loca-ted under the vehicle, must not be blocked by snow, mud or other items. The exhaust fumes must not be obstructed in any way. The emissions gen-erated by the supplementary heating system are removed via an exhaust pipe fitted underneath the vehicle.
If the charge level of the additional battery is low, the supplementary heating system will switch off automatically or cannot be switched on.
m Operating noises can be heard if the supple-l!J mentary heating system is switched on.
• Press the function button .... until ON is dis-played, in order to switch child proof lock on. The display will show this symbol =>Fig. 268.
• Press the @] button to confirm.
Deactivating the childproof lock
• Switch on the ignition.
• Press and hold down the@] button for several seconds.
• Press the function button....._ or..-until CHILD-PROOF LOCK is displayed.
• Press the@) button.
• Press the function button .... until OFF is dis-played. in order to switch child proof lock off.
• Press the@) button to confirm. The =>Fig. 268 symbol on the display goes out.
If the child proof lock has been switched on and the ignition has been switched off, it is not possible to switch the supplementary heating system on man-ually.
lt is still possible to switch off the supplementary heating system manually. m At high levels of humidity and low tempera-l!J lures outside the vehicle, condensation from the heating system can evaporate through the ex-haust system when the supplementary heater is operating. If this is the case, steam may appear underneath the vehicle. The vehicle is not dam-aged.
r::l The charge of the additional battery will be W reduced if the supplementary water heater is operated several times over an extended period of time. Drive the vehicle for a sufficient length of time to recharge the additional battery. As a rule of thumb, drive the vehicle for the length of time you ran the system. Air conditioning system I 339

Storing tyres
Mark tyres before you remove them to indicate the direction of rotation. This ensures you will be able to mount them correctly when you replace them (left, right, front, rear). When removed, the wheels or tyres should be stored in a cool, dry and pref-erably dark place. Do not store tyres mounted on the rim vertically.
Any tyres not fitted on rims should be kept in suita-ble sleeves to protect against dirt and should be stored vertically (standing on the tread).
All-terrain tyres
Some vehicles can be fitted at the factory with "all-terrain tyres". These tyres have a deep-tread pro-file that alters the vehicle's driving properties (such as comfort, consumption, braking distance, corner-Ing behaviour, rolling noise)=>&.
A WARNING
Corrosive liquids and other substances can cause visible and Invisible damage to the tyres, which can cause the tyre to burst.
• Always keep chemicals, oils, lubricants, fuel, brake fluid and other corrosive substan-ces away from the tyres.
A WARNING
Old tyres (even if never used) can suddenly lose pressure or burst, especially at high speeds. This can cause accidents and seri-ous injuries.
• Avoid using tyres that are more than six years old. If you have no alternative, drive slowly and with extra care at all times.
Rims
,....-('n First read and observe the Introductory L-J.:.ll information and safety warnings & on page 367.
The design of the wheel bolts is matched to the rims. If different rims are fitted, the correct wheel bolts with the right length and correctly shaped bolt heads must be used. This ensures that wheels are fitted securely and that the brake system works properly =>page 420.
For technical reasons, it is not generally possible to use the wheels from other vehicles. This can al-so apply to wheels of the same vehicle type.
A WARNING
The deep-tread profile of all-terrain tyres can considerably increase the braking distance or cornering behaviour and thus cause acci-dents and serious injuries.
• Always bear the modified vehicle handling in mind, and drive carefully.
CD
Avoid heavy impacts and drive round obstacles whenever possible. Tyres, particularly low-pro-file tyres, can be considerably compressed and deformed by potholes and curb edges especial-ly. This can cause the tyre's webbing reinforce-ment to brake, and cause dents or rips on the side walls or deformations or cracks on the rims.
Old tyres should be disposed of as required !!IS by legislation. The tyres and rims approved by Voikswagen Com-mercial Vehicles are specially matched to the char-acteristics of the vehicle and make a major contri-bution to good road holding and safe handling.
Wheel bolts
Wheel boils must always be tightened with the cor-rect tightening torque =>page 420.
Rims with bolted-on rings
Rims with bolted-on rings consist of several com-ponents. These components are fastened using special bolts and special fastening technology. This ensures that the wheel functions proper1y, does not leak, remains safe and runs true. For this reason, damaged rims should be replaced. They may only .,..
