Parts and accessories  
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS  
Volkswagen recommends that you consult an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized  
Volkswagen Service Facility before purchasing accessories, spare parts or other equipment. Always  
do so if you want to install additional accessories or replace parts. Your authorized Volkswagen dealer  
or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility can provide information about legal requirements and  
factory-recommended accessories, spare parts, and other equipment.  
WARNING  
Improper vehicle modifications and repairs affect the performance of the airbag system and  
cause malfunctions and severe personal injuries.  
Never store, mount or attach objects, such as cup holders or phone cradles, on or next to  
the airbag module covers or within the airbag deployment zones.  
Objects on or near the surface where airbags are located can come loose and cause  
serious personal injury if the airbag deploys.  
Operating fluids and equipment  
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS  
Operating fluids and parts that wear out with use (such as timing belts, tires, engine coolants,  
engine oils, spark plugs, and vehicle batteries) are constantly being improved. For this reason, it is  
important to have operating fluids changed and wearing parts replaced by an authorized Volkswagen  
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized  
Volkswagen Service Facilities are always up-to-date regarding new developments and changes.  
WARNING  
Improper use of operating fluids and equipment can cause accidents, serious personal  
injuries, burns and/or poisoning.  
Always store vehicle care products in a safe place in original-containers that are securely  
closed.  
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never use empty food or beverage containers that might  
mislead someone into drinking from them.  
Always keep vehicle care products out of the reach of children.  
Always read and heed all the instructions and all WARNINGS on the package before using  
vehicle care products.  
When using products that give off harmful fumes, always work outdoors or in a well  
ventilated area.  
Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, nail polish remover or other volatile fluids for  
vehicle care. They are poisonous and highly flammable. They could cause fires and  
explosions!  
NOTICE  
Only refill with suitable operating fluids. When changing or topping off fluids, make sure  
that you pour the fluids into the correct reservoirs. Adding incorrect fluids will cause serious  
malfunctions and engine damage! Under no circumstances should you mix up operating fluids.  
Otherwise serious malfunctions and engine damage can occur!  
Accessories and other things installed in front of the cooling air intakes impair the  
efficiency of the engine coolant. The engine can overheat under high outside temperatures or  
under high engine loads!  
Leaking operating fluids can pollute the environment. Collect leaking operating fluids in suitable  
containers and dispose of them properly in accordance with applicable environmental laws and  
regulations.
