Although the Advanced Airbag System has been designed to switch off when an infant or
small child is on the front passenger seat in a child restraint that was used during the certifica‐
tion process for the Advanced Airbag System, no one can guarantee with absolute certainty
that the airbag will never deploy under these particular conditions in all conceivable situations
for the duration of your vehicle's use.
The Advanced Airbag System can deploy in accordance with the low risk option for 3to
6year-old children under the U.S. Federal Standard if a child with electrical capacitance
greater than the combined capacitance of a typical 1year-old infant restrained in one of the
forward facing or rearward-facing child restraints with which your vehicle was certified is on the
front passenger seat and the other conditions for airbag deployment are met.
For their own safety, all children, especially 12years and younger, must always ride on the
back seat properly restrained for their age and size.
When installing a child restraint, always carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions.
DANGER!
Children on the front seat of any vehicle, even one with Advanced Airbags, can be seriously in‐
jured or even killed when an airbag inflates.
A child in a rearward-facing child restraint installed on the front passenger seat will be seri‐
ously injured and can be killed if the front airbag inflates.
The inflating airbag will hit the child restraint or infant carrier with great force and will smash
the child restraint and the child against the seat backrest, center armrest, door, or roof.
Always install rearward-facing child restraints on the rear seat.
Although the Advanced Airbag System in your vehicle is designed to turn off the front airbag
when a rearward-facing child restraint has been installed on the front passenger seat, nobody
can absolutely guarantee that deployment is impossible in all conceivable situations that may
happen during the useful life of your vehicle.
If you have, in exceptional circumstances, nevertheless decided to install a rearward-facing
child restraint on the front passenger seat and the PASSENGERAIRBAG light does
not come on and stay on whenever the ignition is on, immediately install the rearward-facing
seat in a rear seating position and have the airbag system inspected immediately by an autho‐
rized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
