How to Adjust the Seat Belt Height on Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
First, locate the seat belt adjustment button on the left side of the vehicle. Then, press the button downward with your finger to adjust the height of the seat belt. To lower the seat belt position, move it downward. To raise the seat belt position, push it upward. Compare the highest and lowest points of the seat belt anchor for adjustment. For shorter drivers, it is advisable to lower the height appropriately.
When I first got my Lavida, I didn't know how to adjust the seatbelt height either, but I figured it out gradually. On the door pillar next to the driver's seat (the B-pillar position), there's a slider mechanism near the upper seatbelt buckle. Before driving, press the button on the slider with your thumb, and with the other hand, move the entire slider up or down along the track. Adjust it to the middle of your shoulder and then release. The key is to avoid having the seatbelt press against your neck or slide onto your arm, so it won't injure your cervical spine during sudden braking. At 1.8 meters tall, I need to set it to the highest position, while my wife, who's 1.62 meters, finds it more comfortable two notches lower. After adjusting to the right height, remember to pull it tight to test if it's securely locked—this way, you won't hear any loose rattling sounds while driving.
