WARNING  
Radio stations can broadcast messages about disasters and dangers. If messages about disasters or dangers are not  
received or issued, accidents and injuries may occur. It may not be possible to receive or send messages under the  
following conditions:  
The current location is in an area with no cell phone or insufficient radio signal reception.  
In areas with sufficient radio signal reception, where the radio station's frequency bands are malfunctioning or not  
available.  
The speakers and the vehicle components required for radio reception are damaged, do not work or do not have  
sufficient power.  
WARNING  
In some countries and mobile networks, emergency calls can only be made under the following conditions:  
A cell phone with an unlocked SIM card and sufficient calling credit is connected to the vehicle's phone interface.  
Adequate network coverage is available.  
WARNING  
If a cell phone or CB radio is used inside the vehicle without connection to an outside antenna, the limit values for  
electromagnetic radiation inside the vehicle may be exceeded and endanger the health of all vehicle occupants.  
Keep the cell phone antenna at least 20 cm (approximately 8 inches) away from any active medical implants, such  
as pacemakers, because cell phones can impair the function of active medical implants.  
Do not carry a cell phone that is turned on directly above or in the immediate vicinity of any active medical implants,  
for example by keeping a phone in a shirt pocket.  
Immediately switch off cell phones if you suspect they could impair an active medical implant, e.g. pacemaker, or  
other medical device.  
WARNING  
Loose, unsecured or incorrectly mounted cell phones, external devices and accessories can be thrown through the  
vehicle interior in the event of sudden driving or braking maneuvers or a collision. This can cause accidents and serious  
injuries.  
Secure or stow cell phones, external devices and Genuine Volkswagen Accessories safely outside of the airbags'  
deployment zones.  
Always secure or store cell phones, external devices, audio sources and accessories in the dedicated  
compartments and holders in the vehicle so that they cannot be thrown through the vehicle interior and cannot  
impede the driver.  
Never leave heavy, hard or sharp objects in the pockets of clothing.  
Arrange cables for external devices and audio sources so that they are not in the way of the driver.

Driving recommendations and traffic signs displayed in the navigation system may differ from the actual traffic situation  
and you must not be tempted to take safety risks.  
Always drive attentively and be ready to intervene at any moment.  
Always bear in mind that traffic signs, signal systems, traffic regulations and local circumstances have priority over  
the driving recommendations and displays in the navigation system.  
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.  
NOTICE  
Radiation from cell phones that are switched on can interfere with sensitive technical and medical devices, potentially  
causing malfunctions or damage to the devices.  
Always switch off the cell phone in areas with special regulations relating to or prohibiting the use of cell phones.  
NOTICE  
Setting the volume too high and excessively loud or distorted playback can damage the speakers.  
Select the volume setting so that the speakers are not damaged.

The Infotainment system requires a few seconds to perform a complete system start, and will not respond to inputs durin
