Get Adjusting the seating position -> Manual controls on the driver and passenger seat Guide for Volkswagen Beetle 4 Door Third Generation (2012-2019)

ꢀ Adjust the seat backrest angle to an upright position so that your back is in full contact with it when

the vehicle is moving.

ꢀ

Always keep both feet on the floor and in the footwell whenever the vehicle is moving.

Always adjust and fasten safety belts properly.

Driver–seat and steering wheel adjustment:

Adjust the steering wheel so that there are at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the steering wheel

ꢀ

and your breast bone ⇒ꢀfig. 31. When adjusting the proper distance to the steering wheel, grasp the

top of the steering wheel with your elbows slightly bent.

ꢀ

Always hold the steering wheel on the outside of the steering wheel rim with your hands at the

9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions to help reduce the risk of personal injury if the driver's airbag inflates.

Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with your hands at other places inside

ꢀ

the steering wheel rim or on the steering wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way can

cause serious injuries to the hands, arms, and head if the driver's airbag inflates.

ꢀ

Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering wheel cover points at your chest and not at your

face. Pointing the steering wheel toward your face decreases the ability of the driver's airbag to help

protect you in a collision.

ꢀ Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the pedals all the way to the floor while keeping

your knee(s) slightly bent.

ꢀ

Adjust the seat height so that the top point of the steering wheel can be reached.

Always keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in control of the vehicle at all times.

Passenger–front seat adjustment:

Push the passenger seat as far back as possible in order to ensure optimum protection if the

airbag is deployed.
