Get Safety -> Child restraints Guide for Volkswagen Touran 4 Door Third Generation (2022-2025)

If an airbag is deactivated in the event of an accident, persons on the front passenger seat may suffer serious or

fatal injuries. For that reason, the front passenger's front airbag may only be switched off in special circumstances.

● Switch off the front passenger's front airbag only if a rear-facing child restraint is fitted in the front passenger

seat in exceptional circumstances. Switch the front passenger's front airbag back on once the rear-facing child

restraint in the front passenger seat is no longer being used.

● Only deactivate the front passenger's front airbag if, in exceptional circumstances, the front passenger backrest is

folded down, depending on the vehicle equipment. Switch the front passenger's front airbag back on as soon as

the front passenger backrest is folded back.

● To avoid damage to the airbag system, only switch the front passenger's front airbag on and off with the ignition

switched off.

● As the driver, always ensure the key switch is in the correct position.

WARNING

If there is a malfunction in the airbag system, the airbag may not deploy correctly or at all, or it may deploy

unexpectedly. This could cause serious or fatal injuries.

● In the event of a malfunction, have the airbag system checked by suitably qualified professionals. Volkswagen

recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

● If there is a malfunction in the airbag system, never fit a child restraint in the front passenger seat and remove

any child restraints already installed there.

WARNING

If the remote control vehicle key or emergency key remain inserted in the key switch while driving, vibration may

cause the vehicle key or emergency key to inadvertently turn in the key switch and may activate the front

passenger's front airbag. The front passenger's front airbag could trigger unintentionally, which could cause serious

or fatal injuries.

● Always remove the vehicle key or emergency key from the key switch before switching on the ignition.

NOTICE

If the key bit is not properly inserted, it could damage the key-operated switch when it turns.

● Insert the key bit into the key switch until you feel resistance for a second time.

NOTICE

If the vehicle key or emergency key is inserted in the key switch when the front passenger door is closed, this may

damage the door trim panel, instrument panel, key switch, vehicle key and emergency key.

● Always remove the vehicle key or emergency key from the key switch before closing the front passenger door.

Introduction

Child restraints reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident. Always transport children in child restraints.

Please note:

—Child restraints are categorized differently depending on the size, age and weight of the child.

—Child restraints can be secured in the vehicle using various securing systems.

For safety, always install child restraints on the rear seats .

Volkswagen recommends using child restraints from the Volkswagen accessory catalog. These child restraints are

developed and verified for use in Volkswagen vehicles.

For additional information about the child restraints from the accessory catalog, contact your authorized Volkswagen

dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility or visit the Volkswagen website.

WARNING

Unsecured or improperly secured children may suffer serious or fatal injuries in the event of sudden driving or

braking maneuvers or an accident.

● Children under the age of 12 or less than 150 cm(around 4 ft 11 in) tall must always be transported in a suitable

77

child restraint when riding in the vehicle. Observe any regulations specific to the country where you are driving.

● Always secure children in a suitable child restraint. Child restraints must correspond to the size, age and weight of

the child.

● Observe the specifications of the child restraint manufacturer for fastening the child restraint in the vehicle and

securing the child in the child restraint.

● Never secure more than one child in a single child restraint.

● Never under any circumstances drive with children or babies on the driver's or a passenger’s lap.

● Never allow a child to sit in a child restraint unsupervised.

● Never allow children to be unsecured in the vehicle, stand or kneel on the seats, or be in an incorrect seating

position while driving. This especially applies to children riding in the front passenger seat. In the event of an

accident, children and other passengers could suffer life-threatening injuries.

● For the child restraint to offer the maximum protection, it is especially important to route the safety belt

correctly. Always follow the specifications from the child restraint manufacturer for routing the safety belt

correctly. Safety belts that are fastened incorrectly can cause injuries, even during minor accidents.

● Replace the child restraint after an accident because there could be damage that is not visible.

WARNING

Improper use of the integrated child restraint can result in serious injury or death in the event of sudden driving or

braking maneuvers or an accident. If positioned incorrectly, the safety belt of the vehicle seat could lead to injuries

e.g. to the stomach or neck area.

● Always fasten children's belts correctly and make sure that the safety belt is positioned correctly and the children

are sitting correctly.

● Do not make any modifications to the parts of the integrated child restraint. Have modifications to the integrated

child restraint carried out only by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

● Have seat parts that are damaged or have been subjected to the forces of an accident replaced with new ones.

Types of child restraints

Only use child restraints that are legally approved and suitable for the child using them.

Child restraint standards

Regulations ECE

-R 44 or ECE-R 129 apply to child restraints in member countries. Both regulations are valid at the same time. Child

restraints that have been checked in accordance with this standard have an orange ECE seal of approval. TheECE seal

of approval may contain the following information about the child restraint:

—Weight class

—Size class

—Certification category (universal, semi-universal, vehicle-specific, or i-size).

—Certification number.

For child restraints that are approved in accordance with regulationECE

-R 44, the eight-digit approval number on theECE seal of approval must begin with 03 or 04. This indicates that the

seat is permitted. Older child restraints whose number begins with 01 or 02 are not permitted.

Child restraints according to weight classes

Up to 10 kg

Up to 13 kg

9 to 18 kg

Group 0

Group 0+

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3

15 to 25 kg

22 to 36 kg

—Weight class 0/0+: rear-facing infant safety seats → fig. 1 from group 0/0+ or 0/1 are best suited from birth to

about 18 months.

—Weight class 1: After reaching the weight limit, child restraints from group 1(up to about four years) and group 1/2

(up to approximately seven years) with an integrated safety belt system are the most suitable.

—Weight classes 2/3: groups 2 and 3 contain child restraints with backrests and booster seats without backrests.

Because of their integrated safety belts and side bolsters, child restraints with a backrest provide better protection

than booster seats without a backrest. Therefore, Volkswagen recommends using child restraints with a backrest.

Child restraints in group 2 are suitable for children up to about 7 years old. Child restraints in group 3 are suitable

for children older than about 7 years old.

Fig. 2 Child restraint with additional belt guide(general

example).

When using a child restraint from Group 2 or a child restraint with a backrest for children taller than 100 cm

(approximately 3 ft, 3 in), Volkswagen recommends using the additional belt guide on the child restraint, if available,

1

for the safety belt in the lap area → fig. 2

. Follow the child restraint user manual.

Not all children across the board fit into the child restraints in their weight group. Also, not all seats fit in every

79

vehicle. Therefore, always check to ensure that the child fits into the child restraint correctly and that you can secure

the child restraint in your vehicle.

Child restraints according to approval categories

Child restraints can have the approval categories “universal” (as per regulationECE

-R 44 and ECE-R 129), “semi-universal”, “vehicle-specific” (as per regulationECE -R 44 respectively) or “i-Size” (as

per regulation ECE-R 129).

—Universal: Child restraints with “universal” approval are approved for installation in all vehicles. A list of models is

not needed. With universal approval for ISOFIX, also secure the child restraint with a top tether safety belt.

—Semi-universal: In addition to the standard requirements for universal approval, “semi-universal” approval requires

safety equipment for securing the child restraint that requires additional tests. Child restraints with “semi-

universal” approval have a model list that must contain the vehicle in which the seat will be used.

—Vehicle-specific: vehicle-specific approval requires a separate dynamic test of the child restraint in the vehicle for

each vehicle model. Child restraints with “vehicle-specific” approval also have a model list.

—i-Size: Child restraints with “i-Size” approval must conform to the requirements for installation and safety that are

contained in the ECE

-R 129 regulation. You can obtain information about which child restraints have an i-Size certification for this

vehicle from the child restraint manufacturers.

Installing and using child restraints

Country-specific specifications

There are different standards and requirements in different countries for using child restraints and their attachment

options. Transporting children on the front passenger’s seat is not permitted in all countries. Laws and regulations

take precedence over the descriptions in this Owner’s Manual.

Notes on installing a child restraint

Note the following information when installing a child restraint. This information applies to child restraints with every

securing system.

—Read and follow the instructions from the child restraint manufacturer→

.

—It is best to install the child restraints on the rear seat behind the front passenger seat so that children can exit the

vehicle on the side that is away from traffic.

—Adjust the height of the safety belt so that the belt webbing runs naturally along the child restraint without any

sharp bends in the webbing. For rear-facing child restraints, the lowest position of the belt height adjuster must be

used.

—Switch off the front passenger's front airbag before installing a backward-facing child seat in the front passenger

seat.

—If installing on the front passenger’s seat, move the seat all the way back and move it into the highest position

possible. Bring the backrest into the upright position (→ Mechanical front seat).

—If installing on a rear seat, move the rear seat in the second row of seats all the way back (→ Rear seat (single)).

—Always leave sufficient free space around the child restraint. Adjust the position of the seat in front of it if possible.

Always make sure the driver and front passenger are using a correct seating position (→ Seating position).

—The backrest of the child seat should be positioned as close as possible to the backrest on the vehicle seat. Adjust

the angle of the vehicle seat so that the child restraint contacts it fully. If the child restraint comes into contact

with the head restraint when installed and prevents it from fitting correctly, move the head restraint all the way

up or remove it and store it securely in the vehicle .

—Once the child restraint is correctly installed, the settings for that seat must no longer be changed. If the seat

80

settings have been changed, the installation of the child restraint must be checked and, if necessary, adjusted.

—If a child restraint is installed on a seat, functions such as the massage function (→ Massage feature) or seat

heating (→ Seat air conditioning) must not be used on that seat.

Airbag label

Fig. 1 On the sun visor: airbag label(general example).

Fig. 2 On the B-pillar: airbag label(general example).

Labels with important information about the front passenger's front airbag are located in the vehicle. The content

depends on the country and may vary. The labels may be located in the following places:

—On the driver's and front passenger's sun visors→ fig. 1.

—On the B-pillar on the passenger's side→ fig. 2.

Always following the warnings before installing a rear-facing child restraint→

.

Dangers when transporting children on the front passenger’s seat

If a rear-facing child restraint is used, the front passenger’s front airbag can cause life-threatening injuries or death if

it deploys →

.

Rear-facing child restraints may only be used on the front passenger seat if the front passenger's front airbag is

switched off . The yellow PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator light is permanently on in the driver's line of sight to

indicate that the front passenger's front airbag is switched off (→ Indicator light standard airbag system).

It is not possible to switch off the front passenger's front airbag in all countries (→ Airbag system).

Do not deactivate the front passenger's front airbag when using aforward-facing child seat. When installing a child

restraint, makes sure it is as far from the front passenger’s airbag as possible. If the front passenger’s airbag deploys,

it can cause serious injuries →

.

Not all child seats are allowed to be used in the front passenger seat. The child restraint must be specially authorized

by the manufacturer for use on the front passenger seat in vehicles with front and side airbags. Your Volkswagen

81

dealership has a list of permitted child seats.

DANGER

Read and heed the important safety instructions for the front passenger's front airbag (→ Airbag system).

DANGER

Using a rear-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat results in increased risk of life-threatening, serious or

even fatal injuries for the child in the event of an accident.

● Never use a rear-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat if the front passenger's front airbag is

switched on.

● Deactivate the front passenger's front airbag if you wish to install a child restraint on the front passenger seat. If

the front passenger's front airbag cannot be deactivated, you cannot use rear-facing child restraints.

● Position the front passenger seat as far back as possible to create the greatest possible distance to the front

passenger's front airbag.

● Move the seat backrest into the upright position.

● Adjust the height of the safety belt so that the belt webbing runs naturally along the child restraint without any

sharp bends in the webbing. Use the lowest position of the belt height adjuster for rear-facing child restraints.

● Use only child restraints that are approved by the child restraint manufacturer for use on the front passenger seat

with front and side airbags.

WARNING

There is a risk of injury if the child restraint is installed incorrectly.

● Always refer to and follow the installation instructions and warnings from the child restraint manufacturer.

WARNING

There is a risk of injury if a front-facing child restraint is used on the front passenger seat.

● Position the front passenger seat as far back as possible to create the greatest possible distance to the front

passenger's front airbag.

● Move the seat backrest into the upright position.

● Adjust the height of the safety belt so that the belt webbing runs naturally along the child restraint without any

sharp bends in the webbing. Use the lowest position of the belt height adjuster for rear-facing child restraints.

● Use only child restraints that are approved by the child restraint manufacturer for use on the front passenger seat

with front and side airbags.

WARNING

If the Side Curtain Protection or side airbag deploys, this can cause injuries.

● Make sure that children are not within the deployment zone of the airbag .

● Do not place any objects within the deployment zone of the airbag.

Securing systems

Different securing systems are used for safe installation of child restraints depending on the country.

Only use the securing systems described here to secure child restraints in the vehicle.

Overview of securing systems

—ISOFIX/i-Size: ISOFIX and i-Size are standardized fastening systems for quick and secure fastening of child

restraints in the vehicle. The ISOFIX or i-Size attachment ensures a rigid connection between the child restraint and

the vehicle body.

The child restraint has two fixed fastening brackets or arms. The attachment arms snap into the ISOFIX universal

lower anchorages located between the seat cushion and the rear seat backrest (→ Child restraint with LATCH/UAS or

i-Size). Supplement the ISOFIX fastener with a top tether safety belt or a support bracket, if necessary.

82

—Three-point safety belt: if available, it is better to secure child restraints to the ISOFIX fastener using a three-point

safety belt (→ Child restraint with a safety belt).

Additional fasteners:

—Top Tether: the upper belt is guided over the seat backrest and secured to the anchorage point on the rear side of

the rear seats using a hook (→ Child restraint with the upper strap (top tether). Top tether anchorages are labeled

with an anchor symbol.

—Support base: some child restraints are supported with a support base on the vehicle floor. The support base

reduces the risk of the child restraint tipping forward in the event of a collision. If there is a storage compartment

in front of the rear seat, the storage compartment must be filled with a special insert before the support bracket is

used → . The insert is available from the Volkswagen dealership as an accessory.

Recommended securing systems for child restraints

Volkswagen recommends securing child restraints as follows:

—Rear-facing child restraint:

—ISOFIX/i-Size and top tether.

—ISOFIX/i-Size and support bracket.

—Forward-facing child restraint from group 1 and i-Size child restraint for children up to 105 cm(approx. 3 ft 5 in)

tall:

—ISOFIX/i-Size and top tether.

—ISOFIX/i-Size and support bracket.

—Forward-facing child restraint from group 2/3 and i-Size child restraint for children taller than 100 cm(approx.

3 ft 3 in):

—ISOFIX/i-Size and, if necessary, top tether.

—ISOFIX/i-Size and, if necessary, support bracket.

WARNING

Unsecured or improperly secured children may suffer serious or fatal injuries in the event of sudden driving or

braking maneuvers or an accident.

● Observe the specifications of the child restraint manufacturer for fastening the child restraint in the vehicle and

securing the child in the child restraint.

● Do not use any child restraints that the manufacturer specifies need to be secured in the vehicle using a lower

tether.

WARNING

Incorrect use of the support base can cause serious or fatal injuries.

● Make sure the support base is installed correctly and securely.

● Fill a storage compartment in the footwell with a special accessory before using the support bracket.

● Always refer to and follow the installation instructions and warnings from the child restraint manufacturer.

● Do not transport children in child restraints with a support foot if the combined weight of the child restraint and

the child exceeds 33 kg (approximately 73 lbs).

WARNING

Anchorage points for child restraint systems are designed so that they will only withstand the loads generated by

correctly adjusted child restraint systems. The anchorage points must never be used for safety belts, items of

equipment or other objects in or on the vehicle.
