between the child seat and the front passenger front airbag.
● Move the backrest to the upright position.
● Adjust the seat belt height to the highest position.
● Only use child seats that have been approved by the child seat manufacturer for use on a front passenger seat
with front and side airbag.
WARNING
To avoid injuries caused by inflation of a head airbag or side airbag:
● Make sure that children are not in the airbag deployment zone.
● Do not place any objects in the side airbag deployment zones.
Securing systems
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.
The child seat has two rigid attachment arms. These arms click into ISOFIX attachment points between the seat and
the rear seat backrest (on the outer rear seats). The ISOFIX securing system as described here is specific to the EU
(→ Child seat with ISOFIX). An upper strap(top tether) or a support foot may sometimes have to be used in addition
to the ISOFIX anchor points described above.
—Three-point automatic seat belt: It is better to secure child seats using the ISOFIX system, if available, rather than
with a three-point automatic seat belt.
Additional securing points:
—Top tether: this strap at the top of the child seat is routed over the vehicle seat backrest and hooked into an anchor
ring in the luggage compartment. Top tether anchor points are marked with an anchor symbol (→ Child seats).
—support foot: some child seats are propped up with a support foot resting on the floor of the vehicle. This support
foot helps prevent the child seat tipping forward in a crash. Child seats with a support leg can only be used on the
front passenger seat and the outer rear seats.
Recommended child seat securing systems
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends securing child seats with ISOFIXand with a lower anchor or top tether
and an additional support foot as required.
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seatbelts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the support foot can cause severe or fatal injuries.
● Ensure that the support foot is always correctly and safely installed.
