Introduction
The Advanced Airbag System (including the electronic control unit,
sensors and system wiring) is monitored continuously to make sure
that it is functioning properly whenever the ignition is on. Every time
you turn on the ignition, the airbag system indicator light will light
up for a few seconds (function check).
The airbag system must be inspected if the airbag indicator light
does not light up when the ignition is switched on,
does not go out a few seconds after you have switched on the
ignition,
goes out and then lights up again or blinks after the ignition is
switched on,
or if it lights up or blinks while driving.
If an airbag system malfunction is detected, the airbag indicator light
comes on and stays on to alert the driver to the problem. It also
reminds you to have the airbag system checked immediately by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility. If a malfunction occurs that turns the front airbag on
the passenger side off, the PASSENGER AIR BAG light
→ PASSENGER AIR BAG light will come on and stay on
