WARNING

The central computer of the Infotainment system is networked with the control units in the vehicle. If the central

computer is not repaired correctly or is not removed and installed correctly, there is an increased risk of accidents

and injuries due to a control unit that does not function or does not function properly.

● Never replace the central computer with a used central computer taken from an older vehicle or a recycling

facility.

● Only have the central computer removed, installed or repaired by a specialist company qualified to perform this

work. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership.

WARNING

Reading information from the screen, operating the Infotainment system and connecting, inserting or removing a

data medium or audio source while driving can distract you from the traffic situation. Unfavourable light conditions

and a damaged or dirty screen may result in displays and information not being read or not being read correctly

from the screen. This can distract you from the road. Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.

● Drive with your full attention and with responsibility.

WARNING

If the volume is set too loud, this will prevent you from hearing acoustic signals. If you do not hear acoustic signals

from outside, this can lead to accidents.

● Set the volume so that you can still always hear acoustic signals from outside the vehicle(e.g. emergency service

sirens).

WARNING

A volume that is too loud can damage the hearing, even if the hearing is exposed to loud volumes only for a short

time.

● Adjust the volume so that it is pleasant for all vehicle occupants.

● Avoid volumes that are too loud.

WARNING

Sudden changes in volume, such as when changing or connecting an audio or media source, can distract the driver

and lead to accidents and injuries.

● Reduce the volume before switching the audio or media source or connecting a new source, for example.

WARNING

The following conditions can lead to situations where emergency calls, telephone calls and data transmission are

restricted, interrupted or not possible:

● Your current emergency call location is in an area with no or insufficient mobile communications and satellite

signal reception.

● The mobile communications network of telecommunication providers is not available in areas with sufficient

368

mobile communications and satellite reception.

● If the components in the vehicle required for emergency calls, telephone calls and data transmission are

damaged, not working, or do not have sufficient electrical power.

● The battery of the mobile telephone is empty or does not have a sufficient charge level.

WARNING

Radio stations can transmit catastrophe and danger warnings. If catastrophe and danger warnings cannot be

received or output, this can cause accidents and injuries. The following conditions can prevent these warnings from

being received or issued:

● Your current location is in an area with no or insufficient radio signal reception.

● The frequency bands of the radio stations are subject to interference or are not available in areas with adequate

radio signal reception.

● The loudspeakers and the components required for radio reception in the vehicle are damaged, not working or do

not have sufficient electrical power.

WARNING

In some countries and mobile networks, a call for assistance or an emergency call can be made only subject to the

following prerequisites:

● A mobile telephone with unlockedSIM

card and sufficient call credit is connected to the mobile phone interface of the vehicle.

●

● Sufficient network coverage is available.

WARNING

If a mobile telephone or two-way radio that is not connected to an external aerial is used, electromagnetic radiation

in the vehicle could exceed limit values and thus be a health hazard for all vehicle occupants.

● Maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm(around 8 inches) between the aerials on the mobile telephone and an

active medical implant (e.g. a pacemaker) since the mobile devices may impair the function of active medical

implants.

● Do not carry a mobile telephone that is operational close to or directly above an active medical implant, for

example in a breast pocket.

● Switch off mobile telephones immediately if you suspect they may be interfering with an active medical implant

(e.g. a pacemaker) or any other medical device.

WARNING

Mobile telephones, external devices and accessories in the vehicle that are loose, unsecured or not properly secured

can be flung though the vehicle interior and cause accidents and serious injuries in the event of a sudden driving or

braking manoeuvre or in the event of an accident.

● Safely secure or stow mobile telephones, external devices and accessories outside the deployment zone of the

airbags.

● Always secure or stow mobile telephones, external devices, audio sources and accessories securely in the

provided stowage areas and holders in the vehicle so that they cannot be flung through the vehicle interior and

hinder the driver.

● Never leave any heavy, hard or sharp objects in the pockets of clothing.

● Arrange the wires for external devices and audio sources so that they do not obstruct the driver.

WARNING

Driving recommendations and displayed traffic signs of the navigation may deviate from the current traffic situation

and must not tempt you to take a safety risk.

● Always drive with due care and attention and be ready to intervene at all times.

● Always remember that road signs, traffic signals, traffic regulations and local conditions take precedence over

driving recommendations and displays provided by the navigation system.

● Ensure that your speed and driving style are always appropriate for the current visibility, weather and road/traffic

conditions.

NOTICE

The radiation produced by the mobile telephone when switched on may interfere with sensitive technical and

medical equipment, possibly resulting in malfunction or damage to the equipment.

● Always switch off your mobile telephone in areas where special regulations apply and when the use of mobile

devices is forbidden.

NOTICE

The loudspeakers can be damaged if the volume is set at too high a level and by playback which is too loud or

distorted.

● Choose the volume setting so that the loudspeakers are not damaged.

Notes on use

this time. During system startup, only the rear view camera image can be displayed.

—The Infotainment system must start up completely before all displays are available and before it is possible to

execute functions. The duration of a system start depends on the functional scope of the Infotainment system and

can also take longer than usual particularly at low and high temperatures.

observe the country-specific regulations and legal requirements.

—To ensure that the Infotainment system functions correctly, it is important to make sure the system is switched on

and that, where applicable, the correct date and time are set in the vehicle.

—A missing function button on the screen does not constitute a fault in the unit; It reflects the equipment that is

available in the country in question.

—Some of the functions and settings of the Infotainment system are available only when the vehicle is stationary. In

some countries, the driving mode selector must be additionally turned to neutral position or the

local authorities.
