NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for damage to the vehicle caused by substandard fuel, insufficient maintenance, or
unsuitable replacement parts.
Only use fuel that is approved for your vehicle. The factory has placed a fuel information label on the fuel filler flap,
which specifies the fuel type to be used for the vehicle.
Volkswagen recommends the use of Volkswagen original parts or Volkswagen original accessories, which you can
acquire from an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Having the vehicle serviced regularly not only maintains the value of the vehicle, but also contributes to operational safety
and roadworthiness. Therefore, have maintenance procedures performed according to Volkswagen instructions. Under
extreme operating conditions, some work may need to be performed before the next service is due. Extreme operating
conditions can include frequent “stop-and-go” driving or driving in areas with a lot of dust in the air. For further information,
contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting

Seating position
Introduction
Number of seats
The vehicle has a total of five seats: two seats in the front and three seats in the back.
Every seat is equipped with a safety belt.
WARNING
Sitting incorrectly in the vehicle can increase the risk of serious or fatal injuries during sudden driving or braking
maneuvers, in the event of a collision or accident, and if the airbags are deployed.
Before the vehicle starts to move, all vehicle occupants must always be in the correct seating position and maintain
it while driving. Safety belts must also be fastened and remain fastened.
The number of persons in the vehicle must not exceed the number of seats with safety belts.
Always secure children in the vehicle with an approved and suitable child restraint system according to the child's
body size and weight ⇒ Transporting children safely and ⇒ Airbag system.
Always keep feet in the footwell while driving. For example, never rest feet on the seat or on the instrument panel
and never hold feet out of the window. Otherwise, if the airbag and the safety belt deploy, they could increase the
risk of injury in the event of an accident instead of providing protection.
Risk of injury due to an incorrect seating position
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒
Introduction.
The risk of serious or fatal injuries will increase if safety belts are not worn or are incorrectly fastened. Safety belts can only
achieve the optimum protection if they are routed correctly. An incorrect seating position significantly impairs the protective
function of the safety belt. This could result in serious or fatal injuries. The risk of serious or fatal injuries increases even more
if a deployed airbag strikes a passenger who is sitting in an incorrect seating position. The driver is responsible for all vehicle
occupants and especially for children who are being transported in the vehicle.
The following list includes examples of seating positions that could be dangerous for all vehicle occupants.
The following points always apply when the vehicle is in motion:
