Volkswagen Car-Net: Connecting you and your vehicle -> Application software (?apps?) for Your Volkswagen Passat SUV Seventh Generation (2010-2014)

WARNING  
Refer to your vehicle's warning and indicator lights for the most  
current diagnostic information. Always consult this manual for  
maintenance guidelines. Failure to heed warning lights and in-  
strument cluster text messages can cause the vehicle to break  
down in traffic and result in a collision and serious personal  
injury.  
Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.  
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.  
Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and  
where no part of the hot catalytic converter and exhaust system  
can come into contact with flammable materials under the vehi-  
cle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, etc.  
A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself  
and others. Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning  
triangle to warn oncoming traffic.

Application software (“apps”)  
¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and  
heed the WARNINGS  
Many mobile devices are equipped to load application software  
(“apps”) into the device. Apps can make it possible to display addi-  
tional information on the factory-installed Radio or Navigation system  
or activate, control or deactivate specific vehicle features.  
Application software, its usage and the wireless connection required  
to use application software may be billable services. Apps may be  
provided by third parties. Therefore you should refer to the terms of  
use and privacy statements associated with the apps for information  
about how the apps collect, use and share information about you,  
your vehicle or your mobile device.  
The application software provided may be designed to be used for a  
variety of purposes and be specific to your vehicle and country .  
The content, range of software provided and application software  
provider can vary. Some application software is also subject to the  
availability of services provided by third parties. In order for some  
application software to work, wireless service reception must be  
strong enough to handle the data exchange involved (text and data  
rates apply).  
Application software descriptions may be provided by the service pro-  
vider.  
Due to the multitude of mobile devices and fast pace of software de-  
velopment, the application software provided may not run on all mo-  
bile devices and their operating systems. This may even apply for the  
same model of a mobile device. For example, application software  
may run on version 2 of the device's operating system but not on ver-  
sion 3.  
Application software can be modified, discontinued, deactivated, re-  
activated or expanded without any further notice.  
In order for some application software to work, the wireless or cable  
connection between the factory-installed Radio or Navigation system  
and a compatible, functioning mobile device must be strong enough  
and uninterrupted.  
NOTICE  
Volkswagen is not responsible for vehicle damage caused by  
inferior-quality or malicious application software, poorly pro-  
grammed application software, insufficient wireless service re-  
ception, data loss during transmission or misuse of mobile de-  
vices.
