Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Additional safety regulations for side airbag
| Under no circumstances may seat covers be fitted which have
not been specifically approved for use on Volkswagen seats with
side airbags. |
| |
The backrest padding must not be cut out in the area of the
side airbag. |
| |
When installing, make sure the seam for the side airbag is
straight. |
| |
All padding clips (metal and plastic clips) must be renewed. |
| |
When installing, all padding clips must be fitted in the
same positions as the original ones. |
| |
If the seat cover fabric is damaged (tears, burn marks,
etc.) in the vicinity of the side airbag, the cover must always
be replaced for safety reasons, as otherwise the side airbag
will not inflate properly. |
| |
Repairs may not be carried out on the backrest cover in the
area of the side airbag (because of the special thread and
precisely defined seam). |
| |
Renew the backrest padding after the side airbags have been
triggered. |
| |
All damaged components must be renewed after an accident.
The original airbag unit can still be used if no signs of damage
are found. |

number must be removed from the new side airbag unit and stuck
over the old sticker on the seat pan. |

Never poke upholstery needles or any other sharp objects
through the seat cover fabric in the vicinity of the airbag,

occupied sensor mat. |
