Never carry things on your lap or carry objects on the front passenger seat. Such objects can
influence the capacitance registered by the capacitive passenger detection system, so that in‐
correct information is provided to the airbag control unit. These things can also cause serious
personal injury if the airbag inflates.
Never store items under the front seats. Parts of the Advanced Airbag System under the front
seats could be damaged, preventing them and the airbag system from working properly.
Never put seat covers or replacement upholstery on the front seats that have not been ap‐
proved by Volkswagen for your specific vehicle.
Seat covers can prevent the Advanced Airbag System from recognizing child restraints or oc‐
cupants on the passenger seat and prevent the side airbag in the seat backrest from deploying
properly.
Never use cushions, pillows, blankets, or similar items on the front passenger seat. The addi‐
tional layers prevent the capacitive passenger detection system from accurately measuring the
capacitance of the child and/or the person on the seat and thus keep the Advanced Airbag
System from working properly.
Never place or use any electrical device (such as a laptop, CD player, or electronic games de‐
vice) on the front passenger seat. Such devices can influence the capacitance registered by
the capacitive passenger detection system, so that incorrect information is provided to the
airbag control unit.
If a seat heater has been retrofitted or otherwise added to the front passenger seat, never in‐
stall any child restraint system on this seat.
If you must use a child restraint on the front passenger seat and the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions require the use of a towel, foam cushion or something similar to
properly position the child restraint, make certain that the PASSENGERAIRBAG light
comes on and stays on whenever the child restraint is installed on the front passenger seat.
If the PASSENGERAIRBAG light does not come on and stay on, immediately install
the child the restraint at a seating position on the rear seat and have the airbag system in‐
spected by your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
WARNING
If the front passenger seat gets wet, dry it immediately.
If liquid soaks into the front passenger seat, this can keep the airbag system from working
properly and may, for instance, deactivate the passenger front airbag. If this happens, the
