WARNING
Improper handling, care, servicing, and repair procedures can
increase the risk of personal injury and death by preventing a belt
pretensioner from activating when needed or by causing it to
activate unexpectedly.
The pretensioner can be activated only once. If a pretensioner
has been activated, the safety belt must be replaced.
Safety belt systems including the pretensioners cannot be
repaired. Special procedures are required to remove, install,
and dispose of this system.
Never repair, adjust, or change pretensioners or any other part
of the safety belt system yourself. We strongly recommend
that you have any work on the safety belt system performed by
an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility. They have the necessary technical
information, training, and special equipment → Parts,
accessories, repairs, and modifications .
