Use only original equipment airbags approved by Volkswagen and installed by a trained tech‐
nician who has the necessary tools and diagnostic equipment to properly replace any airbag
on your vehicle and assure system effectiveness in a crash.
Never permit salvaged or recycled airbags to be installed in your vehicle.
The dangers of using child restraints on the front seat
Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒ Introduction to the
subject
The airbag on the front passenger side makes the front seat a potentially dangerous place for a child
to ride, even if the vehicle is equipped with an Advanced Airbag System. The front seat is a very dan‐
gerous place for an infant or small child in a rearward facing child restraint. The front seat is also not
the safest place for a child in a forward-facing child restraint. All children, especially 12years and
younger, must always ride on the back seat and be properly restrained for their age and size.
During a frontal collision, a child restraint or infant carrier on the front seat could be hit and knocked
out of position by the inflating front passenger airbag. The airbag could significantly reduce the effec‐
tiveness of the child restraint and even seriously injure a child while deploying.
Because of this danger, and because children are generally better protected on the rear seat when
properly restrained for their age and size, we strongly urge you to always make sure that children ride
on the rear seat ⇒Child safety and child restraints .
DANGER!
A front seat passenger, especially an infant or small child, will be seriously injured and can even
be killed if too close to the airbag when it deploys – even an Advanced Airbag.
All vehicle occupants and especially children must be restrained properly whenever riding in a
vehicle. An unrestrained or improperly restrained child could be injured by striking the interior
or by being ejected from the vehicle during a sudden maneuver or impact. An unrestrained or
improperly restrained child is also at greater risk of injury or death through contact with an in‐
flating airbag.
Accident statistics show that children are safer on the rear seat than on the front seat.
A suitable child restraint properly installed and used at one of the rear seating positions pro‐
vides the highest degree of protection for infants and small children in most accident
situations.
