What is the switch inside the glove compartment of a Volkswagen car?
2 Answers
The button switch inside the glove compartment of a FAW-Volkswagen car is likely the passenger airbag switch. Many models have the passenger airbag switch or key located inside the glove compartment. Below are some relevant introductions about FAW-Volkswagen: 1. Introduction 1: FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd. was established on February 6, 1991. It is a large passenger car manufacturing enterprise jointly operated by China FAW Corporation Limited, Volkswagen AG, Audi AG, and Volkswagen (China) Investment Co., Ltd. It is the first modern passenger car manufacturer to start construction based on economic scale. 2. Introduction 2: FAW-Volkswagen's production capacity layout covers Changchun in the northeast, Tianjin in the north, Qingdao in the east, Foshan in the south, and Chengdu in the southwest. It has eight specialized production plants: Car Plant 1, Car Plant 2, Car Plant 3, Car Plant 4, Car Plant 5, Car Plant 6, Powertrain Division, and the Stamping Center.
When I first bought my Volkswagen, I was also puzzled about the purpose of that switch inside the glove compartment. Later, after checking the manual, I found out it was the airbag switch. It requires a car key to turn and specifically controls the airbag for the passenger seat. This is mainly used when placing a child safety seat, as the deployment of the airbag could potentially harm the child. After turning the switch off, an indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate, reminding you that the airbag is not active. Normally, you should never turn it off casually, as it would leave the passenger unprotected in case of an accident. I recommend that anyone driving this car keep the manual in the glove compartment so they can refer to it whenever something is unclear. This is much more reliable than searching online, as details can vary between different car models.
