Safety information on Infotainment System
.WARNING
Driving on today's roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times. Driver
distraction causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!
x Never let yourself be distracted when setting, adjusting, or using the Infotainment System,
when using your cell phone, or when operating the cell phone controls.
x Always drive attentively and responsibly. Use the Infotainment system, your cell phone,
and the cell phone controls only if road, traffic, and weather conditions permit and you will
not be distracted from your driving.
x If you cannot use the Infotainment System, your cell phone, or the cell phone controls
safely while driving, wait until later or find a safe spot where you can pull off the road and
park the vehicle.
x Always set sound volume levels so that you can clearly hear horns, sirens, and other
warning sounds outside the vehicle.
x Setting the sound volume too high may damage your hearing. This applies even if you are
exposed to high volumes for short periods only.
.WARNING
The volume level may suddenly get louder change when you switch media source or connect
a new audio source.
x Always lower the base volume before switching media source or connecting a new audio
source.
.WARNING
Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the navigation system may differ
from the current traffic situation.
x Traffic signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and displays
provided by the navigation system.
x Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility
conditions.
.WARNING
External devices that are loose in the vehicle or not properly secured could be thrown around
the interior and cause injuries during a sudden driving or braking maneuver, or in a crash.
x Never put or attach an external device on a door, on the windshield or above or near to the
areas marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the instrument panel and the seat backrests,
or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. External devices could cause serious
injury in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate.

.WARNING
The volume may suddenly get louder when you switch media source or connect a new audio
source.
x Always lower the volume before switching media source or connecting a new audio
source.
.NOTICE
Excessively loud or distorted playback can damage the vehicle speakers.
If the base volume on the Infotainment System has been considerably increased to play a certain
audio source, lower the volume again before switching to another audio source.

Navigation data
All navigation data required for navigation is stored in the unit navigation data memory.
Street routing is subject to ongoing changes like, for example, new streets, street names or street
numbers. The route guidance may be inaccurate or incorrect if the navigation data is no longer up to
date. You should therefore have the unit navigation data memory updated by a Volkswagen
dealership on a regular basis. The updates are subject to a fee.
Possible errors in navigation
When the navigation system cannot receive any data from GPS satellites (dense canopy of trees,
tunnel, underground CAR park), navigation can still continue using the vehicle sensors.
In areas that are not or only incompletely digitized on the data medium (such as one-way streets and
street type not sufficiently captured), the navigation system also tries to enable route guidance.
Please remember that the navigation may sometimes not be so accurate as usual if the precise
vehicle position cannot be determined.
