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. Sit in the correct seating position in the Volkswagen ID.4 (→ Seating position).

2. Take hold of the safety belt and pull it smoothly across your chest and pelvis. Ensure that the belt is not twisted during this process.

3. Insert the buckle tongue firmly into the corresponding belt buckle for your seat → fig. 1.

4. Pull gently on the belt to confirm that the buckle is securely locked.

Unfastening the safety belt

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

Only unfasten the safety belt in the Volkswagen ID.4 when the vehicle is stationary.

1. Press the red release button on the belt buckle → fig. 2.

The buckle tongue will automatically release.

2. Guide the safety belt back manually so that it retracts smoothly, without twisting or damaging the interior trim.

Twisted safety belt

If the safety belt in the Volkswagen ID.4 cannot be pulled out smoothly, it may have been extended too quickly and twisted inside the trim panel:

1. Carefully pull the safety belt out completely using the buckle tongue.

2. Straighten any twisted sections of the belt and guide it back slowly.

3. If the belt cannot be fully untwisted, fasten it anyway, ensuring that the twisted section does not lie directly against your body.

4. Visit an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen Service Facility as soon as possible to have the issue corrected. Volkswagen recommends professional inspection to maintain full safety functionality.
