Risks involved in carrying children on the
front passenger seat
If you are using a rear-facing child seat, the
front passenger front airbag can cause critical
or potentially fatal injuries when it inflates
→ .
Rear-facing child seats may be used on the
front passenger seat only if the front passen-
ger front airbag has been deactivated
→ page 47. A deactivated front passenger
front airbag is indicated by means of the con-
tinuously lit PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator
lamp
in the driver's field of vision
→ page 49.
If using a front-facing child seat, do not de-
activate the front passenger front airbag.
When fitting the child seat, ensure that it is
as far away as possible from the front pas-
senger front airbag. The front passenger
front airbag can cause severe injuries when it
inflates → .
Some child seats are not suitable for use on
the front passenger seat. The child seat must
be specially authorised by the manufacturer
for use on the front passenger seat in vehi-
cles with front and side airbags. Volkswagen
dealerships keep an up-to-date list of author-
ised child seats.
DANGER
If you use a rear-facing child seat on the
front passenger seat, the child in it is at in-
creased risk of sustaining critical or fatal in-
juries in the event of an accident.
·
Deactivate the front passenger front air-
bag. If the front passenger front airbag
cannot be deactivated no rear-facing
child seat may be used.
·
Move the front passenger seat as far
back and as high as it can be adjusted to
create the largest possible distance be-
tween the child seat and the front pas-
senger front airbag.
·
Move the backrest to the upright posi-
tion.
·
Set the seat belt height so that the seat
belt routing follows a natural path adap-
ted to the child seat without excessive
deviations. For rear-facing child seats,
use the lowest position of the belt
height adjuster.
·
Only use child seats that have been ap-
proved by the child seat manufacturer
for use on a front passenger seat with
front and side airbag.
