The central locking system

is

equipped with

a safe mechanism: Once the vehicle

eat belts

Why have seat

belts?

It has been proven

that

seat belts

give good protection in accidents. In

most countries

therefore the wear-

ing

of seat belts

is

required by

law.

Attention

The belts

should

be put on be-

fore every

journey

-

even in town

traffic.

This

also

applies to the

rear

seats.

Pregnant women too

should

al-

ways wear

a

seat belt

.

The

routing of

the

belt is of

major importance to the

p ro tec-

tive

effect of

the

belt.

How the

belt should be worn

is

described

on

the

next pages.

How childr

en can

be carried safely

in

the ve-

hicle

is

explained

on

page 21 .

In

case

of

a frontal collision accident occu-

pants w ho are not belted up are

thrown

for-

w ards and collide w ith parts of the vehicle

in

terior e.g steering wheel

instrument

panel or w indscreen.

The w idespread opin ion that you can pro-

tect your body w ith your hands in the event

of a light accident is not correct. Even at

low

speeds of co ll ision forces w hich cannot be

deflected act on

the

body.

It is also

import nt

that occupants sitting on

the

rea

r seat are belted

in as

they c

an

also

be th

row

n through the vehicle

in

the event

of

an

accident.

So

meb

ody sitting on the rear

seat and not using a seat belt

is

endanger

in

g

n

ot

only himself but also

the

occupants

of

the fr

ont

seats.

notes

The

Two persons

(including children)

must never be secured

with one

bel

t.

Th e belts give maximum protect i

on

only

in the correct seat position - see page 25.

The belt shou ld not be worn over hard or

breakable articles (glasses, bal l pens etc

.

because this can cause injury to the body.

Loose, bulky clothing (e.g. overcoats

over Jackets) affects the fit and function of

the belts .

The lock tongue may only be inserted

into the lock part belonging to the appropri-

ate seat otherwise, the protective

effect

is

impaired.

The belts must be kept clean otherwise

the redactors may not work properly (see

al

so

Care of ca r section)

Th e slot for the be lt tongue must not be

blocked

with

paper or anything simila

otherwise the tongue cannot engage

properly.

Sea t belts which ha ve become damaged

or have been stressed in

an

accident and

stretched must be renewed - preferably by

a Vo lkswagen dealer. The anchorages

shoul

In some export countries seat belts

could be used on w hich the functions differ

Airbag -System *

Vehicles

with

Airbag System for the

driver and passenger can be recognized by

an inscription "AI RBAG" on the steering

wheel padded plate and on the right end

of

the dash panel.

Supplementary

to the three point

seat belts the Airbag System offers

additional protection

for

the driver's

and

passenger's head and chest In a serious

frontal collision.

Apart

from

its normal protective

function

the seat belt also has the task of keeping the

driver or passenger

in

such a position so

that the Airbag can

offer maximum

protec

tion

in

the case of a frontal collision.

The Airbag system will

not

be

trig

gered

for:

Side collisions

Rear collisions

Rol

ling-over

Minor frontal collisions

Therefore the seat belts

should

al

ways be used not on ly for reaso

ns of

statutory regulations,

but also

for

safety

reasons!

Essentially

the system

consists

of

The electronic control and monitoring

unit

Both airbags (air sack

with

gas gener

ator) with gas generator for the:

- Driver

in ste

ering wheel),

- Passenger

in

ri

ght of

A

warning

lamp

in

the dash panel - see

page 49.

The

functional readiness

of the

Airbag

System

is

electronically monitored.

Each

time

the ignition

is switched

on the

warning lamp lights

for

about 3 seconds

(self diagnosis).

The system has

a

fault, if

When swi

tching on the ignition the

warn ng lam p does not light.

After

sw

itching on

the

ignition

the

w arn

seconds

The warning lamp comes on

or

Journey.

Attention

When a fault is present the

sys

tem

should be checked by a

Volkswagen dealer immediately.

Otherwise there

is the danger

that

Function

The Airbag System is so designed that it wil l

be triggered during a serious frontal colli

slon.

The range

in

which the system will be trig

gered is shown

in

the left-hand illustration.

If the system is triggered, the a

ir

sacks fill

w ith propellant gas and unfolds

in

front of

the driver and passenger.

W hen plunging into the fully inflated air sack

(

se

e right-hand illustration) the forwards

movement of the front seat occupants will

be cushioned and the risk of inju ry

to

head

and upper body reduced.

Special open ings in the air sack allow a con

trolled exit of gas w hen under load from the

occupants, and therefore after an accident

the air

sac

k will have emptied to the point

that forw ard vision is again possible

The Airbag inflates in a split second to be

able to

o

er additional protection during an

acc ident.

Attention

It is therefore important to

main-

tain a certain distance from the

steering or

instrument

panel so

that the front seat occupants

have

the best possible effective

protection if the system is trig-

gered. The front seats should

also always be correctly adjusted

according to the height

of

the

occupant see

25 .

Notes

On vehicles whi ch do not have an airbag

If the vehicle or individual parts of the Air
