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.
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.
An Advanced Airbag System can deploy with the low risk option for 3to 6year-old children
when a child who is heavier than the combined capacitance of a typical 1year-old child plus
child restraint is secured on the passenger seat in a forward-facing or rear-facing child re‐
straint that was used to certify your vehicle, and when the other conditions for airbag deploy‐
ment are met.
