Disposing of used batteries and electronic equipment
Used batteries
The end user must collect and recycle used batteries separately, in line with the process used for electrical devices, as
indicated by the crossed-out bin symbol
. As the end user, you are required by law to return used batteries.
Batteries containing heavy metals are marked with the chemical symbols HG(mercury), Cd (cadmium) and/or Pb
(lead). Heavy metals can be harmful to human and animal health and tend to accumulate in the environment. You
must ensure the separate collection and proper return of used batteries to prevent this from happening.
—Used batteries can be returned to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealerships in EU member states and other
countries.
—Your Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership can provide further information on returning and recycling end-
of-life vehicles.

system. Any batteries or rechargeable batteries that are not permanently installed in the vehicle must be removed
beforehand and disposed of separately as batteries.
