WARNING
Every incorrect sitting position in the vehicle increases the risk of severe or fatal injuries in the event of an accident or sudden driving or braking
manoeuvre.
All vehicle occupants must maintain a correct sitting position and wear their seat belt properly while the vehicle is in motion.
Sitting in an incorrect position, not fastening the seat belt, or not leaving adequate space between the occupants and the airbags could
inflict critical or fatal injuries, especially if the airbags deploy and strike an occupant who has assumed an incorrect sitting position.

about possible special modifications. The seat belts and airbags can only provide a maximum level of protection if a correct sitting position is
assumed. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Volkswagen recommends the following seating position for your own safety and to reduce the level of injury in the event of a sudden braking
manoeuvre or an accident:
The following applies to all vehicle occupants:
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is at the same height as the top of the head, but not lower than eye level. Position the back of
