tually increase the risk of injury during
an accident. The dangers of assuming an
incorrect sitting position
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 34.
If the seat belts are not worn or are worn in-
correctly, the risk of se
vere or fatal injuries
increases. Seat belts can only provide optimal
protection if the seat belt routing is correct.
Assuming an incorrect sitting position con-
siderably impairs the level of protection pro-
vided by a seat belt. This could lead to severe
or even fatal injuries. The risk of severe or fa-
tal injuries is especially increased when a de-
ploying airbag strikes a vehicle occupant who
has assumed an incorrect sitting position.
The driver is responsible for all occupants
transported in the vehicle, especially children.
The following list contains examples of sit-
ting positions that can be dangerous for all
vehicle occupants.
Whenever the vehicle is in motion:

Setting in driving profile selection
In v
ehicles with driving profile selection, the
proactive occupant protection system is
adapted to the special vehicle setup of the
respective driving profile. Limits of the proactive occu-
pant protection system
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 45.
The a

vailability of the proactive occupant
protection system depends on country-spe-
cific legal regulations and the vehicle equip-
ment.
The proactive occupant protection system
will not be available, or will only be available
to a limited extent, in the following situa-
tions:

zone of the airbag, or the objects will be
flung against the body.
x Ne
ver hold any objects in your hand or
on your lap while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
x Never transport any objects on the front
passenger seat. The objects could enter
the deployment zone of the airbag dur-
ing sudden braking or driving manoeu-
vres and then be flung dangerously
through the vehicle interior if the airbag
is activated.
x There must be no other persons, animals
or objects between the vehicle occu-
pants sitting on the front seats and rear
outer seats and the deployment zones of
the airbags. Ensure that children and
adults keep to this rule. WARNING
The airbag system can only be triggered
once. The system will ha
ve to be replaced if
the airbags have been triggered.
x Airbags that have been triggered, and
any affected system parts, must imme-
diately be replaced with new parts that
are approved by Volkswagen for the ve-
hicle.
x Repairs and modifications to your vehi-
cle should only be carried out by a quali-
fied workshop. Qualified workshops
have the necessary tools, diagnostic
equipment, repair information and quali-
fied personnel.
x Never use recycled airbag components
or components that have been taken
from end-of-life vehicles in your vehicle.
x Never alter any components of the air-
bag system. WARNING
Fine dust particles or steam may be re-
leased when the airbags are triggered. This
is normal and does not mean that there is
a fire in the v

ehicle.
x The fine dust can cause irritation to the
skin and eye membranes and cause breathing difficulties, particularly for
people suff

ering from asthma or people
who have (had) other respiratory prob-
lems. To help reduce breathing difficul-
ties, get out of the vehicle or open the
windows or doors for more fresh air.
x If you come into contact with the dust,
you should wash your hands and face
with a mild soap and water before eat-
ing.
x Do not let the dust get into your eyes or
into open wounds.
x 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 se-
rious injury.
x Ne

ver clean the dash panel or the airbag
covers with cleaning agents that contain
solvents. Type of front passenger front
airbag system
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 47.
V

olkswagen offers two different front pas-
senger front airbag systems.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, an air-
bag system or an airbag system with front
passenger front airbag deactivation may be
installed.
Airbag system
The front passenger front airbag can be deac-
tivated only by a qualified workshop.
Characteristics of the airbag system:

winds or if the vehicle is on a slope. This
could lead to injuries.
x Always keep a good grip on the handle
when opening and closing doors. WARNING
The opening and closing paths of the doors
and boot lid are potential danger areas
where injury can occur.
x The doors and the boot lid should there-
f
ore only be opened or closed when you
are sure that nobody is in their path. WARNING
Careless locking of the doors can cause se-
rious injuries.
x If the v

ehicle is locked from the outside,
the doors and electric windows cannot
be opened from the inside.
x The central locking system locks all
doors. Locking the vehicle from the in-
side can prevent accidental opening of
the doors and unauthorised persons
from entering the vehicle. However,
locked doors can delay assistance to
passengers inside the vehicle in the
event of an accident or emergency.
x Never leave children or people requiring
assistance alone in the vehicle. All doors
can be locked from the inside using the
central locking button. This may mean
that people lock themselves in the vehi-
cle. People locked in the vehicle may be
subjected to very high or very low tem-
peratures.
x Temperatures inside a locked vehicle
may be extremely hot or cold depending
on the season. This can cause serious in-
juries and illness or fatalities, especially
among small children.
x Never leave anyone inside a locked vehi-
cle. People in the vehicle could become
trapped in an emergency and may not
be able to get themselves to safety. NOTICE
People who are locked in the vehicle can un-
lock the doors in an emergency by pulling the
door release le

ver forcefully twice. The lever
must be pulled beyond a noticeable resist-
ance in this case. NOTICE
When carrying out manual opening or clos-
ing, remo
ve parts carefully and install them
again correctly in order to avoid damage to
the vehicle. Opening doors
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 77.
Opening doors from outside
There is a button behind the door handles.

x
Close and lock the boot lid and all v ehi-
cle doors when the vehicle is not in use.
Ensure that no one remains in the vehi-
cle.
x Never leave children playing unattended
in or around the vehicle, especially when
the boot lid is open. Children could climb
into the luggage compartment and shut
the boot lid, thereby trapping them-
selves inside. Temperatures inside
a locked vehicle may be extremely hot or
cold depending on the season. This can
cause serious injuries and illness or fa-
talities, especially among small children. WARNING
Serious injuries can occur if the boot lid is
unlocked or opened incorrectly or without
due care and attention.
x It may not always be apparent that the
boot lid is unlocked, f

or example when
a loaded luggage carrier is attached to it.
If unlocked, the boot lid may open sud-
denly while the vehicle is in motion. WARNING
If there is a large amount of snow or
a hea
vy load on the boot lid, the boot lid
may lower by itself and cause serious inju-
ries due to the additional weight.
x Never open the boot lid if it is covered
by a large amount of snow or a load is
attached to it, e.g. a luggage carrier.
x Remove the snow or load before open-
ing the boot lid. WARNING
Do not close the boot lid by pushing it
down with your hand on the window. The
rear window may shatter and cause inju-
ries. NOTICE
Never use the opening mechanism to fix or
hold a load. This could lead to damage that
makes it impossible to close the boot lid. NOTICE
Never use the rear window wiper or the rear
spoiler to fix or hold a load. This may result in
damage that causes the rear wiper or rear
spoiler to be torn off
