Putting on the seat belt (VW Touareg 1)

For seat belts to provide effective protection, they must be worn correctly.

Adjust the position of the seat and headrest

Taking the belt by the tongue, evenly pull the belt tape over the chest and pelvic area.

Insert the tongue into the slot of the lock intended for this seat until you hear it click into place (Fig. 1.96).



Try pulling the belt upward to make sure the belt is securely fastened.

Each rewinding machine is equipped with a pretensioner. A signal lamp serves to control the functional readiness of the pretensioner.

Each seat belt is equipped with a retractor on the shoulder branch. When moving slowly, the shoulder branch provides complete freedom of movement. During sudden braking, turns and acceleration, the retractor locks the shoulder belt.

Each seat belt, except the belt on the driver's seat, is equipped with a child lock. Be sure to read the instructions for using the child lock.

WARNING: Incorrect belt positioning can result in serious injury in a crash.

WARNING: The greatest protective effect of the seat belts is achieved when the rear seatback is in a position close to the upright position and the occupants wear the seat belts correctly.

WARNING: Never insert the belt tongue into the buckle of another seat.

WARNING: If the belt is not positioned correctly, it cannot provide effective protection. If the belt strands are not positioned correctly, the risk of serious injury increases.
