Some functions may contain links to websites that are administered by third parties. Volkswagen does not assume

ownership of third-party sites reached through links and is not responsible for their content.

Some functions may contain third-party information that originates from third-party providers. Volkswagen is not

responsible for the accuracy, currentness, and completeness of this non-proprietary information, and for ensuring that the

rights of third parties are not violated.

The radio stations and owners of the data carriers and audio sources are responsible for the transmitted content.

Parking garages, garages, underpasses, tunnels, high buildings, mountains and valleys and any other electrical devices

being used, e.g. battery chargers, may interfere with the reception of cell phone, GPS and radio signals.

Foil stickers or stickers with a metal layer placed on the antenna and on the windows can impair radio reception.

Read and follow the applicable manufacturer's operating instructions when using cell phones, data carriers, external

devices, and external audio and media sources.

WARNING

The Infotainment system's central processor is networked with the control modules installed in the vehicle. If the central

339

processor is incorrectly repaired, removed or reinstalled, there is an increased risk of accident and injury due to the

control module functioning incorrectly or not functioning at all.

Never replace the central processor with a used central processor from a scrap vehicle or from recycling.

Always have the central processor repaired, removed and reinstalled by suitably qualiﬁed professionals.

Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

WARNING

Reading information on the screen, operating the Infotainment system and connecting, inserting or removing a data

carrier or audio source while driving can distract from trafﬁc. Displays and information on the screen may be difﬁcult to

read if the lighting conditions are unfavorable or if the screen is damaged or dirty. This may distract the driver from the

trafﬁc situation. Driver distraction can cause accidents and injuries.

Always drive attentively and responsibly.

WARNING

Setting the volume too high prevents you from hearing audible signals. Failure to hear audible signals from outside the

vehicle can lead to accidents.

Adjust the volume settings in the Infotainment system so that audible signals from outside the vehicle (such as

sirens on emergency service vehicles) can still be heard.

WARNING

Setting the volume too high can cause hearing damage even if you are exposed to a loud volume for only a short time.

Select a volume that is at a comfortable level for all vehicle occupants.

Avoid excessive volume levels.

WARNING

Sudden volume ﬂuctuations can distract the driver, e.g. when an audio or media source is connected or changed. This

could cause accidents and injuries.

Reduce the volume level before changing or connecting an audio or media source, for example.

WARNING

The following conditions may restrict, interrupt or prevent emergency calls, phone calls and data transfers:

The emergency call location is in an area with no cell phone and satellite reception, or insufﬁcient reception.

You are in a location where there is sufﬁcient mobile phone and satellite reception, but the telecommunications

provider's mobile communications network is unavailable.

The vehicle components required for emergency calls, phone calls and data transfers are damaged, do not work or

do not have sufﬁcient power.

The cell phone battery is empty or has an insufﬁcient charge level.

340

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.

WARNING

341

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.

User information

Refer to ⇒

and Safety instructions.

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

that time. During the system start, only the Rear Assist camera can be displayed.

The Infotainment system must start completely before all displays can appear and functions can be performed. The

length of time that it takes for the system to start depends on the scope of functions in the Infotainment system, and it ca

take longer to start at low and high temperatures.

Observe local regulations and legal requirements when using the Infotainment system and corresponding accessories,

such as a headset or headphones.

For the Infotainment system to function, it must be switched on and the vehicle must be set to the current date and time i

necessary.

A missing function key in the screen is not the result of a device error, but instead corresponds to the country-dependent

equipment.

Some Infotainment system functions can only be selected when the vehicle is stationary. In some countries, the selector

lever must also be in the or selector lever position. This is not a malfunction, but rather compliance with legal

regulations.

Some countries may have restrictions regarding the use of Bluetooth® devices. Information can be obtained from the

local authorities.

If the 12 V vehicle battery has been disconnected, switch on the ignition before switching on the Infotainment system.

Displays on the screen may vary due to differences in the settings, and the Infotainment system may function differently

than described in this manual.

The Infotainment system will switch off automatically when the engine stops and if the 12 V vehicle battery charge level i

low.

In some vehicles with a parking system, the volume of the current audio source may be automatically lowered when you

342

shift into reverse. The volume reduction can be adjusted.

The Infotainment system contains information about the software contained in the system and the licensing terms under:

Navigation

Introduction

361

The current vehicle position is determined by a global satellite system. In order to enable optimum navigation to your

destination, all measured values and possible trafﬁc information are compared with the available map material.

Acoustic navigation announcements and graphic displays lead you to your destination.

Depending on the country, it may not be possible to select some Infotainment system functions on the screen when driving

above a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but rather compliance with legal regulations.

WARNING

If settings are adjusted, destinations entered and changes made to navigation information while driving, the driver may be

distracted and cause accidents and injuries.

Always drive attentively and responsibly.

Only adjust settings, enter destinations, or change navigation information when the vehicle is stationary.

If you missed a turn on your route, the navigation system may recalculate the route.

The quality of the driving directions depends on the available navigation data and any reported traffic incidents.

Traffic information is only given in the navigation system if the available VW Car-Net service has been activated.

Navigation restrictions

If the Infotainment system cannot receive data from GPS satellites, for example in a tunnel, navigation will still be possible

using the vehicle's sensors.

In areas that are not digitized or only partially digitized in the Infotainment system memory, the Infotainment system will still try

to provide route guidance.

If navigation data is missing or incomplete, the vehicle position may not be determined accurately. This may result in

navigation that is not as accurate as usual.

Routing is subject to ongoing changes, like new streets, construction zones, road closures, or changes to street names or

house numbers. Using outdated navigation data can lead to errors or uncertainty when using route guidance.

Function descriptions

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

and Safety instructions.

Voice guidance

Navigation messages are acoustic driving directions for the current route.

The type and frequency of navigation messages depends on the settings and the driving situation, like the start of the route

guidance and whether you are driving on a highway or roundabout.

If the destination cannot be reached exactly, for example because it is not in a digitized area, there will be a navigation

announcement that the Destination area has been reached. Messages about the direction and distance to your destination wi

also be displayed on the screen.

During dynamic route guidance, reported trafﬁc incidents on the route are announced. There will be an additional navigation

announcement if the route is recalculated due to a trafﬁc incident or a change in driving style.

You can adjust or mute the volume during a trafﬁc announcement. All other navigation announcements will be given at that

volume or will be muted.

Navigation messages will not be given if the Infotainment system is muted.
