WARNING
The central computer of the Infotainment system is networked with the control units in the vehicle. If the central computer is not
repaired correctly or is not removed and installed correctly, there is an increased risk of accidents and injuries due to a control unit
that does not function or does not function properly.
● Never replace the central computer with a used central computer taken from an older vehicle or a recycling facility.
● Only have the central computer removed, installed or repaired by a specialist company qualified to perform this work. Volkswagen
recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
WARNING
Reading information from the screen, operating the Infotainment system and connecting, inserting or removing a data medium or
audio source while driving can distract you from the traffic situation. Unfavourable light conditions and a damaged or dirty screen
may result in displays and information not being read or not being read correctly from the screen. This can distract you from the road.
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
● Drive with your full attention and with responsibility.
WARNING
If the volume is set too loud, this will prevent you from hearing acoustic signals. If you do not hear acoustic signals from outside, this
can lead to accidents.
● Set the volume so that you can still always hear acoustic signals from outside the vehicle (e.g. emergency service sirens).
WARNING
A volume that is too loud can damage the hearing, even if the hearing is exposed to loud volumes only for a short time.
● Adjust the volume so that it is pleasant for all vehicle occupants.
● Avoid volumes that are too loud.
WARNING
Sudden changes in volume, such as when changing or connecting an audio or media source, can distract the driver and lead to
accidents and injuries.
● Reduce the volume before switching the audio or media source or connecting a new source, for example.
WARNING
The following conditions can lead to situations where emergency calls, telephone calls and data transmission are restricted,
interrupted or not possible:
● Your current emergency call location is in an area with no or insufficient mobile communications and satellite signal reception.
● The mobile communications network of telecommunication providers is not available in areas with sufficient mobile
communications and satellite reception.
● If the components in the vehicle required for emergency calls, telephone calls and data transmission are damaged, not working, or
do not have sufficient electrical power.
● The battery of the mobile telephone is empty or does not have a sufficient charge level.
WARNING
Radio stations can transmit catastrophe and danger warnings. If catastrophe and danger warnings cannot be received or output, this
can cause accidents and injuries. The following conditions can prevent these warnings from being received or issued:
