WARNING
Worn or dirty windscreen wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and severe injuries.
● Always clean dirty wiper blades.
● Always change the wiper blades if they are damaged or worn and no longer clean the windscreen properly.
NOTICE
Cleaning the wiper blades or windows with unsuitable cleaning agents can cause damage.
● Do not use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint thinner or similar liquids to clean the wiper blades and windows.
● Do not clean the wiper blades with hard sponges and other sharp objects.
If wax residue from car washes and other care products remains on the vehicle windows, this can cause the wipers to rub.
Remove wax residue using a special cleaning product or cleaning cloths.
The exterior lighting uses LED technology. Owners cannot replace the LEDs themselves. If individual LEDs fail, this may be an
indication that more LEDs are on the point of failure. In this case, have the light units checked and renewed if necessary by a suitably
qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
It may be illegal to drive with faulty exterior lights.
WARNING
If the vehicle lighting is not switched on as appropriate for the weather conditions, the road will not be illuminated sufficiently. Other
road users may have difficulty seeing the vehicle or may not see it at all. This can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
● Check the lighting system of the vehicle regularly.
● Have the lighting system repaired immediately if necessary.
