Correct Sitting Position
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following describes the correct sitting positions for the driver and passengers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If any vehicle occupants cannot assume a correct sitting position due to their physical build, they should contact a suitably qualified workshop to find out about possible special modifications. The seat belts and airbags can only provide a maximum level of protection if a correct sitting position is assumed. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center.

Volkswagen recommends the following seating position for your own safety and to reduce the level of injury in the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or an accident.

Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is at the same height as the top of the head, but not lower than eye level. Position the back of your head as close to the head restraint as possible at all times. For small people, push the head restraint all the way down, even if the head is then located underneath the top edge of the head restraint. For tall people, push the head restraint up as far as it will go. Always keep both feet in the footwell. Adjust and fasten seat belts properly.
