¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
If a safety belt is too short to correctly fit you or one of your passengers, even when the safety belt is
pulled out all the way, you can use a safety belt extender.
Never use the safety belt extender for any other purpose – including the attachment of a child
restraint.
The extender adds about 8 inches (20 cm) to the safety belt. Always remove the safety belt extender
when it is not needed and stow it safely. Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility if you believe you may need an extender.
