Introduction  
Upgrades allow new functions to be added to your vehicle after delivery.  
Functions  
Before using an activated function, read and observe the relevant information and warnings in the owner’s manual or  
in the digital owner’s manual that may be available.

assistance systems.

manual, in the Infotainment system, on the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles website or in your user account. Some  
functions do not require a description, such as functions for changing the appearance or colour of the Infotainment  
system.

vehicle.  
WARNING  
If the driver is distracted when driving, this can cause accidents and serious injuries.

some cases by a suitably qualified workshop.  
If the required software for the function on demand is not available in the vehicle, it can be retrofitted in  
some cases . Retrofitting may be subject to charge, depending on the type of software.
