if the ignition is switched off when a crash occurs,
in side collisions when the acceleration measured by the sensor is too low,
in front-end collisions,
in rear-end collisions,
in rollovers, unless the deployment threshold for deployment stored in the control unit is met.
In some types of accidents, the front, Side Curtain Protection and side airbags may be triggered
together.
WARNING
An inflating Side Curtain Protection 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.
A deploying airbag inflates within a fraction of a second with a lot of force and at very high
speed.
Always make sure that the Side Curtain Protection airbag can inflate without interference.
Always sit in proper seating position and wear safety belts while traveling so that the Side
Curtain Protection airbags can help provide protection.
Never let occupants place any parts of their bodies in the area where the Side Curtain
Protection airbag inflates.
Always keep the area where the Side Curtain Protection airbag inflates clear. Never carry any
objects or pets in the area between them and where the airbags inflate and never let children
or other passengers ride in this area.
Never use hangers to hang clothes on the hooks.
Never use the built-in coat hooks for anything but lightweight clothing. Never leave any heavy
or sharp-edged objects in the pockets that may interfere with airbag deployment and can
cause personal injury in a collision.
Only use factory-installed sunshades or, if shades installed after the vehicle leaves the factory,
use only genuine Volkswagen sunshades.
Never swing the sun visors over to the side windows if things such as pens, garage door open‐
ers, hands-free speakers, etc. are attached to the sun visors. They could come loose and
cause serious injury if the Side Curtain Protection airbag inflates.
