Get Adjusting the seating position -> Center armrest Guide for Volkswagen Passat SUV Seventh Generation (2010-2014)

WARNING

Improper use of the steering column adjustment feature can

result in serious personal injury and even death.

Always pull the lever (1) firmly upward after adjusting the

steering column so that the steering wheel does not change

position suddenly while the vehicle is moving.

Never adjust the steering column while the vehicle is moving.

If you find that you need to adjust the steering wheel while driv-

ing, stop the vehicle in a safe place and make the proper ad-

justment.

Never adjust the steering wheel so that it points toward your

face. Always make sure that the steering wheel points toward

your chest. Otherwise, the airbag system cannot protect you

properly in the event of a crash.

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 posi-

tions to help reduce the risk of serious personal injury if the

driver's airbag inflates.

Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or

with your hands anywhere inside the steering wheel or on the

steering wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way

increases the risk of severe injury to the arms, hands, and head

if the driver airbag deploys.
