Get Driving -> Using the vehicle in other countries Guide for Volkswagen California Van Third Generation (2015-2024)

Using the vehicle in other countries and continents

The vehicle has been manufactured specifically for a particular country and complies with the registration regulations

that applied in that country at the time of vehicle production.

If you want to use the vehicle abroad for a short period, all relevant information and instructions should be followed .

If the vehicle is going to be sold in another country or used in another country for an extended period, the legal

requirements applicable in that country must be observed.

In some cases, certain equipment will have to be fitted or removed and functions deactivated. The service scope and

service types could also be affected. This is particularly important if the vehicle is driven in another climate region for

a long period of time.

The factory-fitted Infotainment system may not work abroad because different frequency bands are used in different

countries.
