ing ⇒Using a child restraint on the rear seat . Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in‐
structions when installing a child restraint.
Attach the Top Tether strap or straps to the tether anchorage for the seating position where the
child restraint is being installed with either the LATCH/UAS system or with a safety belt
⇒Securing a child restraint with the Top Tether strap .
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for positioning the handle of the car seat when it is installed
in the vehicle.
The airbag on the passenger side makes the front seat a potentially dangerous place for a child to
ride. The front seat is not the safest place for a child in a forward-facing child restraint. It is a very
dangerous place for an infant or a larger child in a rearward-facing seat.
You must take special precautions when installing a child restraint with the vehicle safety belt or with
LATCH/UAS lower universal anchorages on a rear seating position. Always route the center safety
belt and the unused safety belt for the seating position where the child restraint is being installed se‐
curely out of the child’s reach. Securing the safety belts will help prevent a child from playing with an
unused safety belt and becoming entangled with it ⇒Using a child restraint on the rear seat ,

DANGER!
Not using a child restraint, using the wrong child restraint or improperly installing a child restraint
increases the risk of serious personal injury and death in a collision or other emergency situation.
Never install rearward-facing child restraints or infant carriers on the front passenger seat,
even with an Advanced Airbag System. A child will be seriously injured and can be killed when
the inflating airbag hits the child restraint or infant carrier with great force and smashes the
child restraint and child against the backrest, center armrest, door or roof.
Always install rearward-facing child restraints and infant carriers on the rear seats.
Never install a rearward-facing child restraint in the forward-facing direction. These restraints
are designed for the special needs of infants and very small children and cannot protect them
properly if the seat is forward-facing.
If you must install a rearward facing child restraint on the front passenger seat because of ex‐
ceptional circumstances, but the PASSENGERAIRBAG light does not come on and
stay on, immediately install the rearward-facing child restraint at a seating position on the rear
rows and have the airbag system inspected right away by your authorized Volkswagen dealer
or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
