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 an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility if you believe you may need an extender. Key to fig. 71: (1) Vehicle safety belt buckle. (2) Buckle tongue on the safety belt extender. (3) Safety belt buckle on the safety belt extender. (4) Safety belt buckle tongue on the factory-installed safety belt. Key to fig. 72: (A) Safety belt buckle on the safety belt extender. (B) Distance between the safety belt buckle on the safety belt extender and the centerline of the person using the safety belt extender. The distance must be more than 6 inches (15 cm)! (C) Centerline of the person using the safety belt extender. Using a safety belt extender x Adjust both the seat and the head restraint properl⇒y Adjusting the seating position. x Insert the buckle tongue on the safety belt extende⇒r fig. 71 (2) into the vehicle belt buckle for the seat where the safety belt extender is being used (1). x Fastening or unfastening the vehicle safety bel⇒t Fastening and unfastening safety belts. x Pull the belt to make sure that the tongues are securely locked in the buckles. x Make sure that the safety belt is positioned properl⇒y Safety belt position. Properly using safety belt extenders: x Use a safety belt extender only when the factory installed safety belt is too short when worn properly by a person in proper seating position. x Only use one safety belt extender per seat and vehicle safety belt. x Always remove the safety belt extender when it is not needed. x 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. 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 the airbag control unit during a collision 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 and the front passenger airbag to deploy later in collisions that would normally trigger the front airbag earlier in the collision to help protect an unrestrained front seat occupant. The airbag will not be able to provide enough protection for an occupant not wearing a safety belt. x Only use the safety belt extender approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle.
