How to tell if 2006 Jetta 2.5 has optional side air bags

My daughter just bought a Jetta.

It has ESP, and I see 3 SRS symbols above the windows on both sides
one beside the windshield, one on the center post between side windows
and one behind the back seat side window.

But is there another optional side air bag? How do you tell if it is
there?

Check the side of the seat-back for an SRS symbol.

I was going to say anywhere there is an airbag there is some sort of
emblem or mark in the fabric stating airbag here. On my 2003 Jetta
there are airbag emblems on the top outside corner of the seat and all
along the pillars. I thought the seat bag marked at the top of the
seat exploded forward when deployed.

Crash it and count them when they pop out....just kidding

Would this be accurate for deciphering your VIN to find out if you have side
air bags?

Of course it is best to not have to find out that you have them. lol
