Volkswagen ID.4, Owner'S Manual

Page: 57 / 417

Side airbags are installed for the front seats
→ Fig. 36 . The side airbags are located in the
outer seat backrest cushions of the driver
seat and front passenger seat → Fig. 37 .
The locations of the side airbags are indica-
ted by the “AIRBAG” label.
The areas outlined in red are inside the de-
ployment area of the side airbags → Fig. 36
and → Fig. 37 . You must never leave or attach
any objects in these areas → .
In the event of a side collision, the side air-
bags will be deployed on the side of the vehi-
cle which is impacted, thus reducing the risk
of injury to the areas of the occupants' bodies
facing the impact. The curtain airbags on
both sides are also triggered.
WARNING
Once triggered, the airbag inflates in frac-
tions of a second at very high speed.
·
Always leave the deployment zones of
the side airbags clear.
·
There must be no other people, animals
or objects between the occupants of the
front seats and the airbag deployment
zones. Ensure that children and passen-
gers keep to this rule.
·
The coat hooks in the vehicle should on-
ly be used for lightweight clothing. Do
not leave any heavy or sharp objects in
the pockets.
·
Do not fit any accessories to the doors.
·
Do not fit seat covers or protective cov-
ers over the seats unless they have been
expressly approved for use in the vehi-
cle. Otherwise the side airbag may not
be able to inflate once triggered.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the driver and front pas-
senger seat could hinder the proper func-
tion of the side airbag and cause serious in-
jury.
·
Never remove the front seats from the
vehicle or alter any components of these
seats.
·
If too much pressure is applied to the
backrest side bolsters, the side airbags
may not be triggered correctly, may not
trigger at all, or may trigger accidentally.
·
Any damage to the original seat uphols-
tery or around the seams of the side air-
bag units must be repaired immediately
by a qualified workshop.
Curtain airbags
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 47.
Fig. 38 On the left-hand side of the vehicle: lo-
cation and deployment zone of the curtain air-
bag.
Curtain airbags are installed in the vehicle in-
terior above the doors on the driver and front
passenger sides → Fig. 38 .
The locations of the curtain airbags are indi-
cated by the “AIRBAG” label.
The area in the red frame is covered by the
curtain airbag when triggered (deployment
zone) → Fig. 38 . For this reason, you must
never leave or attach any items in this area
→ .
The curtain airbags will be triggered on both
sides if the vehicle rolls over or in the event
of a frontal or side collision.
In rollovers, side collisions and certain types
of frontal collision, the curtain airbags reduce
the risk of injury for the vehicle occupants on
the front seats and rear outer seats.
