Lots of interesting stuff here! Note on page 9 the picture of rear seat and middle seat shoulder belts. Too bad it took 10 years to get these in NA models. Did euro models have these from '80-'90?

Also on the same page is the mention of an "intertia-controlled rear brake pressure regulator". Can some explain how this works? I don't recall seeing anything fitting this description on my van, not even a rear axle load sensing regulator like my Jetta has. Another cost saving cut perhaps?
