location and deployment zone of the Side Curtain Protection airbag.
Always have work involving the side airbag system, including
removal, replacement, and installation of airbag components,
or other repairs performed by an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Otherwise,
the airbag system may not work correctly.
Never remove the front seats from the vehicle or modify parts
of the front seats.
Never attempt to modify any components of the airbag system

side airbags may deploy improperly, not at all, or when they
should not.
