Vehicle care
Vehicle care information
Regular, proper care helps to maintain your vehicle.
The longer dirt remains on the surfaces of vehicle components, the more difficult it may be to clean and care for them. Long-term exposure can make it impossible
for dirt to be removed.
For questions regarding care products or for vehicle components that are not listed, consult a suitably qualified professional. Volkswagen recommends contacting
an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Suitably qualified professionals can provide you with suitable accessories. Volkswagen recommends the use of Genuine Volkswagen Accessories, which you
can acquire from an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Read and follow the usage instructions on the packaging.
WARNING
Improper care and cleaning of vehicle components could impair vehicle safety equipment and cause serious injuries.
Clean and maintain vehicle components only according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Always use approved or recommended cleaning solution.
Never use cleaning solutions that contain solvents. Solvents can cause permanent damage to the airbag module.
Protect your hands and arms against components with sharp edges, for example when cleaning the inside of the wheel housings.
WARNING
Dirty, foggy, or icy windows reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and serious injuries. The vehicle safety equipment could become impaired.
Only drive when there is clear visibility through all windows.
Do not use water-repellent window solutions on the windshield. This can cause intense glare under poor visual conditions.
WARNING
Care products can be poisonous and dangerous. Unsuitable care products and incorrect application of care products can cause accidents, serious injuries,
burns, and poisoning.
Only store care products in their sealed original containers.
Read and follow the package leaflet.
Keep children away from all care products.
Only use care products outside or in well-ventilated areas so that no harmful vapors are inhaled.
Never use turpentine, engine oil, nail polish remover, or other fluids with vapors that dissipate easily for vehicle care. They are poisonous and highly
flammable.
NOTICE
Cleaning dirt with aggressive and solvent-based products can cause permanent damage to vehicle equipment, even if only exposed to the vehicle component
for a brief period, for example on seat cushions or decorative parts.
Do not allow dirt to dry.
Have stubborn spots removed by a suitably qualified, authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Washing the vehicle
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒
and Vehicle care information.
