Never install leather upholstery on a vehicle that originally had cloth upholstery. Never install cloth up‐
holstery on a vehicle that originally had leather upholstery. The capacitive passenger detection sys‐
tem for the Advanced Airbag system will not work properly if different upholstery is installed on the
passenger seat than the upholstery originally installed on the vehicle when it was originally
manufactured.
WARNING
Changing the vehicle's suspension including use of unapproved tire-rim combinations can
change airbag performance and increase the risk of serious personal injury in a crash.
Never install suspension components that do not have the same performance characteristics
as the components originally installed on your vehicle.
Never use tire-rim combinations that have not been approved by Volkswagen.
WARNING
Items stored between the safety belt buckle and the center console can cause safety belt buckle
to send the wrong information to the airbag control unit and prevent the Advanced Airbag System
from working properly.
Always make sure that nothing can interfere with the safety belt buckles and that they are not
obstructed.
WARNING
Improper care and servicing, and improper modification and repair work, can increase the risk of
personal injury and death by preventing an airbag from deploying when needed or deploying an
airbag unexpectedly:
Never repair, adjust, or change any parts of the airbag system.
All work on the airbag system, steering wheel, instrument panel, front seats or electrical sys‐
tem (including the installation of audio equipment, cellular telephones and CB radios, etc.)
should be performed by authorized Volkswagen dealers or authorized Volkswagen Service
Facilities. They have the necessary manuals, training, and special equipment.
