WARNING
Never rely on the airbag system exclusively for your protection.
The airbag has merely a supportive function for your protection, even if it is triggered.
The airbag system offers the best level of protection and reduces the risk of injury when seat belts
are properly worn ⇒ Seat belts .
Before every trip, each vehicle occupant must adopt the correct sitting position, correctly fasten the
seat belt belonging to their seat and keep it fastened properly throughout the trip. This applies to all
vehicle occupants and also in urban traffic.
WARNING
The risk of injury increases if there are any objects located between the vehicle occupants and the
deployment area of the airbag when it is triggered. This will impinge on the deployment zone of the
airbag or the items will be flung against the body.
Never hold any objects in your hands or on your lap while the vehicle is in motion.
Never transport any objects on the front passenger seat. The objects could enter into the
deployment zone of the airbag during sudden braking or driving manoeuvres and then be flung
dangerously through the vehicle interior if the airbag is activated.
Vehicle occupants sitting on the front seats and rear outer seats must never carry any people, pets
or objects in the deployment zone between themselves and the airbags. Make sure that children and
passengers also keep to this rule.
WARNING
The airbag system can be triggered only once. The system will have to be replaced if the airbags have
been triggered.
Airbags that have been triggered, and any affected system parts, must immediately be replaced with
new parts that are approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle.
Repairs and modifications to your vehicle should be carried out only by a qualified workshop.
Qualified workshops have the necessary tools, diagnostic equipment, repair information and
qualified personnel.
Never use recycled airbag components or components that have been taken from end-of-life
vehicles in your vehicle.
Never alter any components of the airbag system.
