the scope of various vehicle functions with online functionalities, e.g. receive real-time data for navigation. The general availability of

online services is country-dependent. You can find out whether online services are offered in your country from your authorised

Volkswagen repairer. A description of all available online services and further information on registration and help can be found on the

internet at:

be subject to a charge. Mobile online services are subject to a country-dependent restriction of the contract term.

The provision and availability of mobile online services can vary from country to country and depend on the vehicle and vehicle

equipment. For further information, refer to the Terms and Conditions for the mobile online services.

servers and databases.
