Sitting position -> Introduction to the topic for Your Volkswagen Polo SUV Seventh Generation (2021-2025)

Number of seats  
The vehicle has a total of five seats: two at the front and three at the rear.  
Each seat is equipped with a seat belt.  
Assuming an incorrect sitting position considerably impairs the level of protection provided by a seat belt. This could lead to severe or  
even fatal injuries. The risk of severe or fatal injuries is especially increased when a deploying 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.  
WARNING  
Assuming an incorrect sitting position in the vehicle can increase the risk of severe or fatal injuries during a sudden driving or braking  
manoeuvre, in the event of a collision or accident, or if the airbags are triggered.  
All vehicle occupants must assume a correct sitting position before setting off and maintain this position throughout the trip. This  
also applies to the fastening of seat belts.  
The number of vehicle occupants must never exceed the number of seats with seat belts in the vehicle.  
Never tilt the backrest too far to the rear.  
Always keep your feet in the footwell during the journey. Never place your feet on the seat or dash panel, for example. Never hold  
your feet out of the window. If you sit like this, the airbag and seat belt cannot provide optimal protection and could actually  
increase the risk of injury during an accident.
