Explanations
Wordings and terms found in the owner’s manual are explained below for easy 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 speed
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 figures may differ from your
vehicle.
This owner's manual was written for left-hand drive vehicles. Inright-hand drive vehicles, the controls may
sometimes be arranged differently to 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. This form of
address is used for editorial reasons and does not represent a value judgement.
Terms used and their meaning:
Workshop
Workshops are repairers that employ trained or qualified staff who specialise in performing service work on
passenger cars. Expert assistance can mean both Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealerships as well
independent workshops.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealerships are workshops that have a contractual relationship with
Volkswagen AG. The contractual relationship ensures that further information is available and that there is an
additional direct communications channel to the manufacturer.
Go to a qualified workshop.
Some situations require you to take your vehicle to a workshop to have it checked.
Seek expert assistance
If it is not possible to continue driving the vehicle, it is necessary to have it professionally checked directly at
the vehicle’s location. Depending on the situation, a decision is then made whether the vehicle can continue to
be driven after the check or if it needs to be towed.
