Safety instructions
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 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.
