Volkswagen ID.4: Fastening and unfastening the safety belts

Fastening the safety belt

Fig. 1 Inserting the buckle tongue into the safety belt buckle.

1. Assume the correct seating position (→ Seating position).

2. Grab the belt and pull it evenly over the chest and pelvis. Do not twist the belt while doing this (→ Safety belt positioning).

3. Insert the buckle tongue securely in the safety belt buckle for that seat→ fig. 1.

4. Pull on the safety belt to make sure the buckle tongue is latched correctly in the safety belt buckle.

Unfastening the safety belt

Fig. 2 Releasing the buckle tongue from the safety belt buckle.

Only unfasten the safety belt while the vehicle is stationary (→ Safety belt positioning).

1. Press the red button in the safety belt buckle → fig. 2.

The buckle tongue will pop out.

2. Guide the belt back by hand so that the belt rolls up easily, the belt does not twist, and the trim panel is not damaged.

Twisted safety belt

If the safety belt is difficult to pull out of the belt guide, the safety belt may have been pulled out too quickly when positioning the belt and may have become twisted within the side trim panel:

1. Slowly and carefully pull the safety belt out completely by the belt buckle.

2. Untwist any twisted sections of the safety belt and guide the belt back slowly by hand.

3. If you cannot untwist the safety belt, fasten the safety belt anyway.

The twist must not be in a section of the belt that rests directly on the body.

4. Go to an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility immediately to have the belt untwisted. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
