the adult on the front passenger seat is properly seated on the center of the seat cushion with his
or her back up against the backrest and the backrest is not reclined;
the safety belt is being properly worn and that there is not a lot of slack in the safety belt webbing;
there are no aftermarket seat covers or cushions or other things (such as blankets) on the front
passenger seat that might cause the capacitive passenger detection system to miscalculate elec‐
trical capacitance.
WARNING
If the status of the Advanced Airbag System has changed while the vehicle is moving, the
PASSENGERAIRBAG light blinks for about 5seconds to catch the driver's attention. If
this happens, always stop as soon as it is safe to do so and check the steps described above.
WARNING
If the PASSENGERAIRBAG light does not go off when an adult who is not very small is
sitting on the front passenger seat after taking the steps described above, make sure the adult is
properly seated and restrained at one of the rear seating positions.
Have the airbag system inspected by your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility before transporting anyone on the front passenger seat.
If the capacitive passenger detection system determines that the front passenger seat is empty,
the front airbag on the passenger side will be turned off, and the PASSENGERAIRBAG
light will stay on.
If the front passenger safety belt itself is buckled and the front passenger seat is not occupied,
the PASSENGERAIRBAG light will come on and stay on.
