Between 1000 and 1500 km (600 to 1000 miles):
Increase the speed and engine RPM gradually.
The driving style during the first 1000 miles (1500 km) also affects the engine's quality. Even after that – especially when the engine is cold – the engine should be
driven at moderate engine speeds to reduce engine wear and increase the possible mileage.
Do not drive at too low of an engine speed (RPM). Always downshift if the engine stops running “smoothly”.
New tires ⇒ Information about wheels and tires and brake pads ⇒ Information on the brakes must be carefully broken in.
If the new engine is broken in gently, its service life is increased while, at the same time, reducing engine oil consumption.
Operating the vehicle in different countries and continents
The vehicle was manufactured by the factory for a specific country and meets those approval regulations that were valid at the time of vehicle manufacture.
If the vehicle will be used temporarily or for a brief period in another country, then read and observe the following information.
Some countries have special safety standards and regulations that differ from the vehicle configuration. Volkswagen recommends obtaining information about legal
regulations from an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility before driving in other countries.
If the vehicle is sold in another country or will be used for an extended period in another country, then the applicable legal regulations in that country must be
observed.
Certain equipment may need to be installed or removed and functions may need to be deactivated. The scope and types of service may also be affected. This
particularly applies if the vehicle is being operated for an extended period in a different climate region.
Due to the many different frequency bands around the world, the Infotainment system installed at the factory may not function in other countries.
NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for damage to the vehicle caused by substandard fuel, insufficient service, or not using Volkswagen Genuine parts.
Volkswagen is not responsible if the vehicle does not meet all of the applicable legal requirements in other countries and continents.
