Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen (2014 year). Instruction — part 5
WARNING
Some kinds of cigarette lighters can be lit unintentionally, or crushed causing a fire that can
result in serious burns and vehicle damage.
Always make sure that there are no lighters in the seat tracks or near other moving parts
before adjusting the seats.
Before closing a storage compartment, always make sure that no cigarette lighter can be
activated, crushed, or otherwise damaged.
Never leave a cigarette lighter in a storage compartment, on the instrument panel, or in
other places in the vehicle. Heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a
parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside
temperatures, particularly in summer. High temperatures could cause the cigarette lighter to
catch fire.
Examples of improper seating positions
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
Not wearing or improperly fastening safety belts increases the risk of severe or fatal injuries. Safety
belts can work only when they are properly positioned on the body. An improper seating position
significantly impairs the protection provided by safety belts. This can cause severe or even fatal
injuries. Improper seating positions also increase the risk of serious injury or death when an airbag
deploys and strikes an occupant who is not in the proper seating position. The driver is responsible for
all passengers and especially children riding in the vehicle.
The following are only some examples of seating positions that will increase the risk of serious injury
or death.
Therefore, whenever the vehicle is moving:
Never stand up in the vehicle.
Never stand on the seats.
Never kneel on the seats.
Never ride with the seat backrest reclined.
Never lean up against the instrument panel.
Never lie down on the rear seat.
Never sit on the edge of the seat.
Never sit sideways.
Never lean out the window.
Never put your feet out the window.
Never put feet on the instrument panel.
Never rest your feet on the seat cushion or back of the seat.
Never ride in the footwell.
Never sit on the front or rear center armrest.
Never ride without your safety belt properly fastened.
Never ride in the luggage compartment.
WARNING
Contact with parts of the vehicle interior can cause serious personal injury in a crash.
Always make sure that all vehicle occupants stay in a proper seating position and are
properly restrained whenever the vehicle is moving.
Improper seating positions increase the risk of serious and fatal injury, especially when an
airbag deploys and strikes a passenger in an improper seating position.
Proper seating position
Fig. 36 The driver should never sit closer than 10 inches (25 cm) of the steering wheel.
Fig. 37 Proper safety belt positioning and head restraint adjustment.
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
The following describes the proper seating positions for the driver and front seat passenger.
If you have a physical impairment or condition that prevents you from sitting properly on the driver seat
with the safety belt properly fastened and reaching the pedals, special modifications to your vehicle
may be necessary. Only the proper seating position ensures optimum protection by the safety belt and
airbag.
Contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility or call the
Volkswagen Customer CARE Center at 1-800-822-8987 for information about possible modifications
to your vehicle.
For your own safety and to reduce injuries in the event of sudden braking maneuvers or accidents,
Volkswagen recommends the following seating positions:
Applies to all vehicle occupants:
Adjust head restraints so that the upper edge of the head restraint is at least at eye level or higher.
Position the back of your head as close as possible to the head restraint
⇒
fig. 36
and
⇒
fig. 37
.
Push the head restraint completely down for short people, even if the top of the head is then below
the upper edge of the head restraint.
Tall people should pull the head restraint all the way up.
Adjust the seat backrest angle to an upright position so that your back is in full contact with it when
the vehicle is moving.
Always keep both feet on the floor and in the footwell whenever the vehicle is moving.
Always adjust and fasten safety belts properly, Safety belts.
Driver – seat and steering wheel adjustment:
Adjust the steering wheel so that there are at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the steering wheel
and your breast bone
⇒
fig. 36
. When adjusting the proper distance to the steering wheel, grasp the
top of the steering wheel with your elbows slightly bent.
Always hold the steering wheel on the outside of the steering wheel rim with your hands at the
9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions to help reduce the risk of personal injury if the driver's airbag inflates.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with your hands at other places inside
the steering wheel rim or on the steering wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way can
cause serious injuries to the hands, arms, and head if the driver's airbag inflates.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering wheel cover points at your chest and not at your
face. Pointing the steering wheel toward your face decreases the ability of the driver's airbag to help
protect you in a collision.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the pedals all the way to the floor while keeping
your knee(s) slightly bent. The distance to the instrument panel in the knee area must be at least
4 inches (10 cm).
Adjust the seat height so that the top point of the steering wheel can be reached.
Always keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in control of the vehicle at all times.
Passenger – front seat adjustment:
Push the passenger seat as far back as possible in order to ensure optimum protection if the
airbag is deployed.

WARNING
Not wearing a safety belt or wearing an improperly positioned safety belt increases the risk of
severe personal injury or death. Safety belts offer optimum protection only when they are
used properly.
Properly worn safety belts are the single most effective means of reducing the risk of
serious injury and death in a collision or other accident. For this reason, always wear your
safety belt properly and make sure all passengers wear their safety belts properly as well
whenever the vehicle is moving.
The driver must always make sure that every person in the vehicle is properly seated on a
seat of his or her own, properly fastens the safety belts belonging to that seat before the
vehicle starts to move, and keeps the belts properly fastened while riding in the vehicle. This
applies even when just driving around town. Therefore, always wear your safety belts and
make sure that everybody in your vehicle is properly restrained.
Always secure children in the vehicle with a restraint system appropriate for their age,
weight and height, Child safety and child restraints.
Always fasten safety belts correctly before driving off and make sure that all passengers
are properly restrained.
Never attach the safety belt to the buckle of another seat. Attaching the safety belt to the
wrong buckle will reduce safety belt effectiveness and can cause serious personal injury.
Never let any objects or liquids get into the safety belt latch and prevent it from working
properly.
Never remove a safety belt while the vehicle is moving. Doing so will increase your risk of
being injured or killed.
Never strap more than one person, including small children, into any single safety belt.
Never let children or babies ride sitting on your lap, and never place a safety belt over a
child sitting on your lap.
Never wear belts over rigid or breakable objects in or on your clothing, such as
eyeglasses, pens, keys, etc., as these may cause injury.
Several layers of heavy clothing (such as a coat worn over top of a sports jacket) may
interfere with proper positioning of the safety belt and reduce the overall effectiveness of the
system.
Never use comfort clips or devices that create slack in the shoulder belt. However, special
clips may be required for the correct use of some child restraint systems.
Safety belts offer optimum protection only when the seat backrest is upright and belts are
correctly positioned on the body.
