WARNING
Cleaning, impregnating and caring for vehicle components incorrectly can irreparably damage and impair the vehicle's
safety equipment, such as the airbag modules. This may cause serious injuries in the event of an accident.
Always use suitable cleaning agents. More information can be obtained from suitably qualified professionals.
Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Never use cleaning solutions that contain solvents.
Clean and maintain vehicle components only according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Needless to say, it is easier to see signs of wear and dirt caused by normal usage on bright materials in the vehicle
interior. These signs of use are unavoidable and also indicate the unavoidable deterioration caused by normal usage. Please
follow the corresponding care instructions.
Accessories, replacement parts, repairs, and modifications
Accessories and replacement parts
Consult an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility before purchasing Genuine Volkswagen
Accessories, replacement parts, or operating equipment, for example if you would like to retrofit the vehicle with Genuine
Volkswagen Accessories or if parts need to be replaced. The authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility is aware of legal regulations and factory recommendations for Genuine Volkswagen Accessories,
replacement parts, and operating equipment. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Volkswagen recommends the use of Volkswagen original parts or Volkswagen original accessories, which you can acquire
from an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen has verified their reliability,
safety, and suitability. A suitably qualified authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility also
specializes in correct installation. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility.
Products that are not approved by Volkswagen may not have been evaluated by Volkswagen regarding the reliability, safety,
and suitability for the vehicle, despite ongoing market observation. Therefore, Volkswagen can also not be responsible in
individual cases if approval is given by an officially-recognized technical inspection and control authority or clearance is given
by a government agency.
You must consult a suitably qualified authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility to replace
rim/tire combinations. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility.
Retrofitted devices that have a direct effect on vehicle control, must have an e symbol (the approval symbol for the European
Union) and be approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle. Such devices could include a cruise control system or an
electronically-controlled damping system.
Additional electrical devices that do not have a direct effect on vehicle control must have a symbol (manufacturer's Declaratio
of Compliance for the European Union). Such devices could include refrigerators, computers, or ventilators.
WARNING
Using unsuitable replacement parts and accessories may lead to malfunctions in the vehicle. These problems may also
occur if work, modifications and repairs are done incorrectly. This could lead to damage to the vehicle and accidents
resulting in serious or fatal injuries.
Only have suitably qualified professionals make repairs or modifications to a vehicle. Authorized Volkswagen
