Cleaning the seat covers

covers. Incorrect cleaning or moisture may damage these components or cause them to malfunction. This may then cause

damage elsewhere in the vehicle's electrical system ⇒

which can be damaged by incorrect cleaning or handling. This can also result in damage to other areas of the vehicle

electrical system.

equipment, such as the airbag modules. This may cause serious injuries in the event of an accident.

Always use approved or recommended cleaning solution.

Never use cleaning solutions that contain solvents.

Clean and maintain vehicle components only according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Needless to say, it is easier to see signs of wear and dirt caused by normal usage on bright materials in the vehicle

follow the corresponding care instructions.

Accessories, replacement parts, repairs, and modiﬁcations

Accessories and replacement parts

Consult an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility before purchasing Genuine Volkswagen

Accessories, replacement parts, or operating equipment, for example if you would like to retroﬁt the vehicle with Genuine

Volkswagen Accessories or if parts need to be replaced. The authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen

Service Facility is aware of legal regulations and factory recommendations for Genuine Volkswagen Accessories,

replacement parts, and operating equipment. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or

authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Volkswagen recommends the use of Volkswagen original parts or Volkswagen original accessories, which you can acquire

from an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen has veriﬁed their reliability,

safety, and suitability. A suitably qualiﬁed authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility also

specializes in correct installation. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized

Volkswagen Service Facility.

Products that are not approved by Volkswagen may not have been evaluated by Volkswagen regarding the reliability, safety,

and suitability for the vehicle, despite ongoing market observation. Therefore, Volkswagen can also not be responsible in

individual cases if approval is given by an ofﬁcially-recognized technical inspection and control authority or clearance is given

by a government agency.

rim/tire combinations. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen

Using unsuitable replacement parts and accessories may lead to malfunctions in the vehicle. These problems may also

occur if work, modiﬁcations and repairs are done incorrectly. This could lead to damage to the vehicle and accidents

resulting in serious or fatal injuries.
