or objects in the airbag deployment area.

Ensure that all vehicle occupants are wearing

their seat belts correctly.

airbags may not inflate or may inflate unex-

pectedly or inappropriately. This could lead to

severe injuries.

DANGER

Have the airbag system checked immediately

for damage or faults by a Volkswagen Deal-

ership.

The front passenger front airbag provides the

front passenger with additional protection

against injury in the event of an accident. The

front passenger front airbag may only be deac-

tivated in special cases.

Avoid exerting excessive forces on the side

supports of the seat backrest, otherwise the

side airbags may not inflate correctly, not in-

flate at all, or inflate unexpectedly.

Only activate or deactivate the front passen-

ger front airbag if driving has already ended.

Have the inflated airbags replaced by a

Volkswagen Dealership.

Make sure the key operated switch is adjus-

ted correctly.

Do not make unauthorized conversions,

changes or repairs to airbag system compo-

nents.

Only deactivate the front passenger front

airbag if, in exceptional cases, a rear-facing

child seat is attached to the front passenger

seat.

Have any damage to the seat coverings or

the seams in the side airbag module area re-

paired immediately by a Volkswagen Dealer-

ship.

Activate the front passenger front airbag

again as soon as the child seat in the front

passenger seat is no longer in use.

Airbag system parts must never be reused

in case of vehicle or component scrapping.

All applicable environment disposal standards

must be followed, in addition to other safety

standards in effect. Volkswagen Dealerships are

familiar with such requirements.

CAUTION

If you operate the key-operated switch incor-

rectly, the key-operated switch, door trim, in-

strument panel and vehicle key may be dam-

aged.

Insert the vehicle key bit into the key-oper-

ated switch up to the second resistance so

that the key-operated switch is not damaged

when turned.

Safe transportation of children

Make sure you have removed the vehicle key

from the key operated switch before driving.

Children's seats

There are several types of child seats adapted to

the child's size, age and weight. Different stand-

ards and regulations apply in different countries

to the mounting possibilities of child seats.
