in the event of an accident, or not work properly.
There are some important things you have to know to make sure that the effectiveness of the system
will not be impaired and that discarded components do not cause injury or pollute the environment.
Undeployed safety belt pretensioners and airbag modules contain explosive materials that can cause
serious injuries to the general public and to people who work at dealerships and workshops, scrap
yards, and recycling facilities. For this reason, the systems must be properly handled when they or
the vehicles they are installed in are scrapped.
Undeployed safety belt pretensioners and airbag modules can also pollute the environment. Never
abandon vehicles or vehicle parts. If your vehicle must be scrapped, please make sure that it is done
safely, responsibly, and in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations. Take it to a li‐
censed facility that has the knowledge and experience to properly dispose of the vehicle and its
safety belt system. Your authorized Volkswagen dealer and authorized Volkswagen Service Facility
are familiar with these regulations.
WARNING
Improper handling, care, servicing, and repair procedures can increase the risk of personal injury
and death by preventing a belt pretensioner from activating when needed or by causing it to acti‐
vate unexpectedly.
The pretensioner can be activated only once. If a pretensioner has been activated, the safety
belt must be replaced.
Safety belt systems including the pretensioners cannot be repaired. Special procedures are
required to remove, install, and dispose of this system.
Never repair, adjust, or change pretensioners or any other part of the safety belt system your‐
self. We strongly recommend that you have any work on the safety belt system performed by
an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. They have the
necessary technical information, training, and special equipment ⇒Parts and accessories .
WARNING
Undeployed safety belt pretensioners and airbag modules contain explosive materials that can
cause serious personal injuries if they are not properly handled when they or the vehicles they
are installed in are scrapped.
Never abandon vehicles or vehicle parts.
