Disposal of old electrical and electronic devices

Your vehicle contains electrical and electronic devices, e.g. remote controls. These devices are marked with a symbol showing a

crossed-through waste bin

The corresponding legal regulations stipulate that old devices with this marking must be collected and disposed of separately from

normal household waste. You can hand in these devices at local collection points or any nationally authorised return systems.

In Germany, retailers with a sales area of at least 400 m for electrical devices and food retailers with a total sales area of at least

800 m who offer new electrical devices are obliged to take back these devices free of charge. When purchasing a new device, the end

user is entitled to return an equivalent old device. The same also applies for delivery to private households and sale via the internet.

Small old devices can be returned to retailers even if no new device is purchased. Your authorised Volkswagen repairer is also obliged

to take back up to three old devices with an edge length of less than 25 cm free of charge.

—Batteries, rechargeable batteries or lamps that are not a fixed part of the device must be removed first and disposed of accordingly.

—You must delete all stored personal data before disposing of the old devices.

Further information on return and recycling can be obtained from your authorised Volkswagen repairer.

WARNING

If batteries containing lithium are damaged, gaseous or liquid substances may escape, posing a significant risk to health and the

environment. A short circuit of the terminals can also cause a fire or explosion. This can result in serious or fatal injuries.

● Handle batteries containing lithium with special care.

● Never heat batteries containing lithium.

● Never damage batteries containing lithium.

● Never short circuit the battery terminals.

Batteries that contain heavy metals are marked with the chemical symbols Hg (mercury), Cd (cadmium) and/or Pb (lead).

Heavy metals can damage the health of human beings and animals and can accumulate in the environment.

● To avoid this, please ensure that your used batteries are collected separately and returned properly.

Returning end-of-life vehicles

At the end of its life, your vehicle must be recycled and disposed of in an environmentally appropriate way. For this reason, the last

vehicle keepers in the EU and many other countries are required by law to take their vehicle to an approved collection point, vehicle

return centre or authorised dismantling facility.

Volkswagen has already made the corresponding preparations for this: a comprehensive network of vehicle return centres is available

in all EU countries and many other countries, where you can hand over your vehicle. If you satisfy the national legal requirements, you

can return your end-of-life vehicle free of charge within the EU.

The vehicle return centre issues a recycling certificate which serves as proof that the end-of-life vehicle has been recycled properly.

You can obtain information about vehicle return centres from your Volkswagen dealership.

Scrapping

The relevant safety requirements must be observed when scrapping the vehicle or its individual components, e.g. the airbag system

and belt tensioners. These requirements are known to suitably qualified workshops. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised

repairer.

Please observe the following for vehicles used to transport goods with a maximum permitted weight of up to 3.5 t (N1 approval in

Europe):

Variants and number of seats

There are a number of designs for N1 vehicles based on a Volkswagen passenger car. The number of seats may be restricted to two or

four.

Vehicles with two seats: Due to the fact that there is no rear bench seat, there is no floor covering on the floor in the rear of the vehicle

interior →

Vehicles with four seats: The rear bench seat is designed so that the middle seat cannot be used →

Transporting children safely

As in vehicles with passenger car approval (M1), approved child restraint systems can be used on the seats.

Technical data

Technical data can be found in the vehicle documents.

WARNING

If no luggage compartment trim is fitted, power cables may be exposed. In the event of damage, this can lead to electric shocks, fire

and serious or fatal injuries.

● Ensure the luggage compartment trim is installed upon or before delivery, so that the cables in the rear of the vehicle are covered

up when using the vehicle.

WARNING

If restraint systems such as seat belts and head restraints are missing, this can result in serious or fatal injuries in an accident due to

incorrect transport of persons.

● Never drive with a person or child sitting in the middle of the rear bench seat.

● Never transport people in the luggage compartment.

● Observe the safety notes and information regarding the luggage compartment and transporting items.
