WARNING
Always observe traffic rules and posted speed limits and use
common sense. Your good judgment can mean the difference
between arriving safely at your destination and being seriously
injured in a crash or other kind of accident.
Regular service and maintenance of your vehicle is important
both for operational and driving safety and to help prolong your vehi-
cle's service life. Always follow the scheduled maintenance intervals
in the ⇒ꢀBooklet Warranty and Maintenance, especially for changing
the brake fluid. Hard use, frequent stop-and-go driving, driving in very
dusty areas, trailer towing, and other factors may make it necessary
to have the vehicle serviced more frequently. Ask an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for
more information.
