An inflating side airbag can cause serious or even fatal injury. Improperly wearing safety belts
and improper seating positions increase the risk of serious personal injury and death whenever a
vehicle is being used.
To help reduce the risk of injury when the supplemental side airbag inflates,
Always sit in an upright position and do not lean against the area where the side airbag
is located.
Never let a child or anyone else rest their head against the side trim panel in the area
where the side airbag inflates.
Always make sure that safety belts are worn correctly.
Never let anyone sitting in the front seat put their hand out of the window.
Objects between you and the airbag can increase the risk of injury in a collision by interfering
with the way the airbag unfolds or by being pushed into you as the airbag inflates.
Never place or attach accessories or other objects (such as cup holders, telephone brackets,
or even large, bulky objects) on the doors or over or near the area marked AIRBAG on the
seat backrests ⇒Fig.34 .
Accessories or other objects can fly dangerously through the passenger compartment and
cause serious injury if the supplemental side airbag inflates.
Never position or hold any objects or pets in the area where an airbag inflates or allow any
children or other passengers to ride in that space.
Never use the built-in coat hooks for anything but lightweight clothing. Never leave any heavy
or sharp-edged objects in the pockets. Such objects may interfere with side airbag deployment
and cause serious personal injury in a collision.
WARNING
Improper use, repair, or disassembly of the driver and front passenger seats can prevent side
airbags from working properly and result in severe injuries.
Always make sure that the side airbag can inflate without interference:
Never install seat covers or replacement upholstery over the front seat backrests that
have not been specifically approved by Volkswagen. Otherwise, the side airbag may not
be able to deploy properly.
