Get In an emergency -> Manual opening and closing Guide for Volkswagen Up 4 Door Second Generation (2019-2023)

WARNING

Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and severe

injuries.

•

Always follow the instructions in the checklist and observe the general safety procedures.

WARNING

The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious

injuries.

•

Park the vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any

inflammable material underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass, fuel.

The vehicle battery will discharge if the hazard warning lights are left on over a long period of

time – even when the ignition is switched off.

If you brake hard at speeds over approximately 80 km/h (50 mph), the brake lights will flash

to warn the traffic behind. If you then continue to brake, the hazard warning lights will be switched

on automatically at speeds under approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). The brake light will light up

continuously. Once the vehicle starts to accelerate, the hazard warning lights will switch off again.
