Short definitions in a contrasting colour that precede some sections provide a summary of the respective topic. More detailed
information about the features, conditions and limitations of systems and equipment can be found in the relevant sections.
Formulations and terminology used in the owner’s manual are explained below to permit easier understanding.
Directions and positions
Directions and positions such as left, right, front and rear are normally relative to the vehicle’s direction of travel, unless otherwise
indicated.
Dimensions and speeds
Values given in miles instead of kilometres or mph instead km/h refer to the country-specific instrument clusters or Infotainment
systems.
Illustrations
Illustrations help with orientation and should be regarded as a general guide. The illustrations may differ from your vehicle.
This owner’s manual was written for left-hand drive vehicles. In right-hand drive vehicles the controls may sometimes differ from
those displayed in illustrations or described in the text.
Form of address
For better legibility, the male form of address is used. However, this refers to all genders equally. The shortened linguistic form is used
for editorial reasons and does not represent a value judgement.
Terms used and their meaning:
Glass roof
The term glass roof is used as a standard term for all equipment-dependent versions of the sliding, tilting or panoramic roof.
Qualified workshop
Qualified workshops are workshops that employ instructed or trained personnel and that specialise in performing service work
on passenger cars. A qualified workshop can be both a Volkswagen dealership and also an independent workshop.
Volkswagen dealership
Volkswagen dealerships are workshops that have a contractual relationship with Volkswagen. The contractual relationship means
that additional information is available, and there is also a direct communication channel to the manufacturer.
Go to a qualified workshop
In some situations, it is necessary for you to drive your vehicle to a qualified workshop to have it checked.
Seek expert assistance
If it should not be possible to continue driving the vehicle at any time, it is necessary to have the vehicle checked by an expert on
the spot. A decision on whether it is possible to continue driving or whether the vehicle has to be towed must be taken after this
depending on the situation.
