child seats.
Volkswagen recommends child seats from the
Volkswagen range of accessories. These child
seats have been developed and approved for use
in Volkswagen vehicles. Volkswagen dealerships
have child seats suitable for this car.
WARNING
If children are not secured or are inadequately
secured, they are at greater risk of serious or
even fatal injury. Please note the following:
● Children younger than 12 years old or less
than 150 cm tall are recommended to use a
suitable child seat. If this regulation differs
from the local regulations, please follow the
local regulations.
● Be sure to choose appropriate protection
system according to the children's age,
height and weight to protect the children in
the car.
● Only one child can fit in a child seat. Do not
use seat belts to restrain more than one child
in a child seat.
● Under no circumstances shall a driver or pas-
senger hold a child or infant in his or her
arms while the vehicle is in motion.
● Never leave a child unattended in a child
seat.

● Do not allow children to ride without safety
protection. When the vehicle is moving, en-
46
sure that children keep a correct sitting posi-
47
tion. Do not stand in the vehicle or kneel on
48
the seat. Especially when children sit in the
49
front passenger seat. If an accident occurs
under these conditions, it may result in fatal
injury to children and others.
● To maximize the protection of the child seat,
ensure that the seat belt is properly worn. Be
sure to follow the child seat manufacturer's
instructions on proper seat belt wearing.
Even minor accidents can result in injuries to
children if the seat belt is not worn correctly.
● A child seat that has been subjected to force
in an accident must be replaced, even if
there is no visible damage, but may actually
be damaged.
NOTICE
Different countries may have different standards
and regulations on the use and fixation of child
seats. If the description in this manual is different
from the local regulations and regulations, please
comply with the local regulations.
