Body -> Occupant protection for Your Volkswagen Multivan SUV Fifth Generation (2003-2015)

Body  
Occupant protection  
As a feature of the Volkswagen safety strategy, the occupant protection system in the T5 2010 has been improved in  
the form of a seat belt fastening warning and a modified airbag concept for driver and front passenger protection.  
Front passenger airbag  
deactivation  
In the commercial vehicle variants, the  
belts at each of the outboard positions are  
integrated in the body and those for the  
middle seat positions are integrated in the  
seat.  
Front passenger airbag deactivation is another  
safety measure. The front passenger airbag can be  
deactivated when the passenger door is open, using  
the key-operated switch on the right-hand side end  
of the dash panel.

Belt fastening warning  
One feature in the safety concept is the seat belt  
fastening warning for the driver's seat which is  
installed as standard. An acoustic signal sounds if the  
driver's seat belt is not fastened. In addition, a red  
warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.  
ISOFIX child seat restraint systems are  
installed in the Multivan in the individual  
seats and, in the commercial vehicles, the  
outboard seats in the 1st row of the  
passenger compartment.

Head / thorax airbag  
As a new feature, head / thorax airbags are now  
fitted rather than the previously separate side and  
head airbags in the passenger compartment. This  
means the former two systems for each seat are now  
combined into one system.
