.WARNING
Improper use of electrical seat controls can cause serious personal injuries.
x The front seats in your vehicle can be electrically adjusted even when the vehicle key has
been removed from the ignition or, on a vehicle with Keyless Access, even if there is no key
in the vehicle.
x Never leave children and persons who need help in the vehicle alone because the
unsupervised use of the electric seat adjustments can result in serious personal injury.
x Always make sure that no one is in the way while the front seats are being adjusted, or
while calling up the stored memory settings for the front seats. In an emergency, stop
automatic seat adjustment by pressing a seat adjustment switch.
.NOTICE
To help prevent damage to electrical parts in the seats, do not kneel on the front seats or apply
concentrated pressure to a small area of the seat or backrest.

When entering and exiting the vehicle, be CAReful not to come into contact with any switches
that could change the seat adjustment.
Starting the engine stops seat adjustment.

.DANGER
The vehicle's high-voltage electrical system and high-voltage battery are dangerous and can
cause burns, other serious personal injuries, electrocution, and death.
x Always assume that high-voltage battery and parts of the high-voltage system are fully
charged and energized.
x Never touch or let jewelry or other metal objects contact high-voltage cables or the high-
voltage battery and battery poles, especially if the cables, battery, and battery poles have
been damaged in any way.
x Never do any work yourself on the high-voltage electrical system, the orange-colored
high-voltage wiring, or on the high-voltage battery.
x Never open, service, repair, or disconnect any part of the hybrid electrical system.
x Never damage the orange-colored high-voltage cables. Never remove them and never
disconnect them from the high-voltage electrical system.
x Never open or remove the orange-colored cover on the high-voltage battery.
x Always have work on the hybrid electrical system and systems that could be indirectly
affected by it done by qualified, trained technicians who have the know-how, experience,
documentation, and tools to do the work safely.
x All work on the high-voltage electrical system and the high-voltage battery must be done
in compliance with Volkswagen standards and guidelines.
x Vehicle keys must be safely stored a safe distance from vehicle so that the ignition cannot
be switched on and energize the electrical system.
x Gases vented or released from the high-voltage battery vapors are potentially poisonous
and can burn.
x Physical damage to the vehicle or the high-voltage battery can result in immediate or
delayed release of poisonous gases that can also cause a fire.
x Always avoid contact with leaking fluids and gases escaping from the battery, particularly
one that has been damaged.
x Always tell emergency responders that the vehicle has a high-voltage battery.
.WARNING
Driver distraction causes accidents and serious personal injury. Using the instrument cluster
or accessing Infotainment System menus while driving can take your attention off the road
and cause accidents.
x To help reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, never change settings in the instrument
cluster display or use Infotainment System functions unless the vehicle is standing still.
