| Anti-Submarining RampAn anti-submarining ramp is a ramp located in the seat base which is inclined so that the front edge points upwards. This ramp is designed to prevent the seat occupants from sliding underneath the lap belt when they are pushed deep into the seat cushion in a collision. All Volkswagen seats incorporate steel-reinforced ramps which prevent the lower part of the body from "submarining" under the belt, thereby reducing the risk of injury in an accident. |
