WARNING
Improper use or positioning of a safety belt extender increases the risk of serious personal
injury and death.
A driver or passenger who is not properly restrained can be seriously injured by striking
the interior of the passenger compartment or by the safety belt itself, which can be displaced
from stronger parts of the body into sensitive areas like the abdomen.
Safety belt extenders offer optimum protection only when they are properly used.
Only use the extender when the belt is not long enough to be worn low and snug and the
person is in the correct seating position. Remove and stow extender safely when not needed.
Always make sure the safety belt tongue of the safety belt extender is securely inserted
into the buckle for the seating position that belongs to the seat where the safety belt extender
is being used. Attaching the safety belt to the wrong buckle will reduce safety belt
effectiveness and can cause serious personal injury.
Never use the safety belt extender if you can properly attach the safety belt without it.
Using a safety belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury, especially in a
collision.
Never use a safety belt extender if the distance ⇒ fig. 69 (B) between the front edge of the
safety belt extender buckle (A) and the centerline of the person using the safety belt extender
(C) is less than 6 inches (15 cm).
Never leave a safety belt extender attached to the vehicle safety belt buckle when the
extender is not needed and being used with the safety belt. Otherwise, the airbag control
module will receive an incorrect signal from the safety belt buckle and this will prevent the
airbag from working properly for a person who is not using the safety belt.
Never use more than one extender with a safety belt. Using more than 1 extender can
change the way the safety belt passes over the body and can cause serious injury.
Never use the safety belt extender to secure a child restraint.
Never use a safety belt extender on your Volkswagen that you got from another
automobile manufacturer or from an automotive parts store.
Never use the safety belt extender you got for your vehicle for any other vehicle,
regardless of make, model, or model year.
NOTICE
Leaving the extender attached to the safety belt buckle when the front seat is occupied and the
safety belt is not being used will signal to the airbag control unit that the front passenger seat is
occupied and that the safety belt is being used. The electronic control unit for the airbag system will
then receive incorrect information that will
– cause the safety belt pretensioner to deploy unnecessarily in collisions;
– cause the front passenger airbag to deploy later in collisions in which the front airbag
would otherwise be triggered earlier to help protect an unrestrained front seat passenger.
A pretensioner that has deployed cannot be repaired. The entire safety belt must be
replaced.
NOTICE
If the safety belt extender is left attached to the safety belt buckle, the safety belt warning
system will sense that the safety belt for that seat is being used. The warning light will not
come on and the warning chime will not sound even though the seat is occupied and the safety
belt is not being used.
