Safety belts
A safety belt is provided for each seating
position
in
your Volkswagen.
Safety belts that were subjected to ex-
cessive stretch forces during an accident
should be replaced.
Safety Belt Warning System
An audio-visual warning system is inter-
connected with the driver's safety
belt
Every
time
the ignition is turned on. the
FASTEN BELTS warning light on the
dashboard will come on for about
6 seconds as a reminder to buckle up.
If the driver does not fasten the safety
belt,
the buzzer will also come on for the
duration of this six second period. The
buzzer will go off as soon as the driver
has buckled up.
For your and your passenger's protec-
tion,
we recommend you wear safety
belts at all times while the car is in
motion.
Safety belts for front seals
The front seats are equipped with lap/
shoulder belts with an automatic locking
retractor. The belt adjusts automatically
to your size and movements as long as
the pull on the belt is slow. A sudden
motion locks the belt. The automatic
locking mechanism in the retractor will
also lock the belt when driving down a
steep hill or in a curve, and when the
car's speed is reduced.
Do not strap
in
more than one person in
each belt.
A shoulder bell should not be worn by a
person less than
4'
7" in height, because
it would not be in its most protective
position,
and theretore may increase the
possibility
ol
injury in a collision.
To fasten your lap/shoulder
belt,
grasp
the belt tongue and pull the belt in a
con-
tinuous slow motion across your chest
and lap. Insert the belt tongue into the
corresponding anchor housing on the
center tunnel and push down until it is
securely locked with an audible click.
Pull the shoulder part of the belt to en-
sure that the lap part fits tightly.
Belts should not be worn
twisled.
To unfasten the
bell,
push in the release
marked PRESS on the corresponding'
anchor housing. The belt tongue will
spring out of the anchor housing.
