from owners manual to the vehicle VW Passat, year of production 2010 - 2014:
Accident statistics show that vehicle occupants properly wearing safety belts have a lower risk of being
injured and a much better chance of surviving a collision. Properly using safety belts also greatly
increases the ability of the supplemental airbags to do their job in a collision. For this reason, wearing
a safety belt is required by law in most countries including the United States and Canada.
Although your Volkswagen is equipped with airbags, you still have to wear the safety belts provided.
Front airbags, for example, are activated only in some frontal collisions. The front airbags are not
activated in all frontal collisions, in side and rear collisions, in rollovers, or in cases when the condi-
tions for deployment stored in the electronic control unit are not met. The same goes for the other
airbag systems on your Volkswagen.
So always wear your safety belt and make sure that everybody in your vehicle is properly restrained!
Using safety belts
¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS .
Checklist
Using safety belts ⇒
d Damage to safety belts reduces their overall effectiveness and increases the risk o sferious per-
sonal injury and death whenever the vehicle is being used.
d Check the condition of all safety belts regularly.
d Keep safety belts clean.
d Keep objects and liquids away from safety belt webbing, the safety belt buckle tongue, and the
safety belt buckle latch and opening.
d Do not pinch or damage the safety belt or buckle tongue (for instance, when closing a door).
d Never modify, disassemble or try to repair safety belts and safety belt anchorages.
d Always fasten your safety belt properly before driving and keep it fastened whenever the vehicle is
moving.
Twisted safety belt
If it is difficult to pull the safety belt out of the belt guide, the belt may be twisted inside the side trim
because the belt retracted too quickly when it was taken off.
x Hold the safety belt tongue, slowly and carefully pull safety belt all the way out.
x Untwist the safety belt and slowly return the belt by hand.
If you cannot untwist the safety belt, wear it anyway. Make sure that the safety belt is twisted in a spot
where it does not come in direct contact with your body. Have the safety belt untwisted immediately by
an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Lockable safety belt
The retractors for the rear seat safety belts and the front passenger safety belt have a switchable
locking feature for child restraints in addition to the emergency locking feature. Whenever a child
restraint is installed with a safety belt, the safety belt must be locked so that the safety belt webbing
cannot unreel. The switchable locking feature lets you lock the belt so that a child restraint can be
properly installed and, for example, so that it can't tip to the side when the vehicle goes around a
corner ⇒ page Error! Bookmark not defined
To see whether a safety belt is lockable, pull the safety belt all the way out of the safety belt retractor.
You should then hear a “clicking” sound as the belt winds back into the retractor reel. Test the switch-
able locking feature by pulling on the belt. When the switchable locking feature is active, you should
no longer be able to pull the belt out of the retractor.
The locking feature must be deactivated when a vehicle occupant uses the safety belt.
