scientific literature indicates that radio waves that exceed a certain level can have effects on the human body. Limits and guidelines have been established by governmental authorities and international committees in an effort to keep the electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones at levels that will not cause health problems. However, there is no scientifically based proof that wireless phones are absolutely safe.
Therefore some experts recommend a precautionary approach regarding the use of mobile phones by taking measures that lower the personal exposure to electromagnetic fields.
When using a cellular telephone inside a motor vehicle without a proper connection to an integrated vehicle telephone antenna, personal exposure to electromagnetic fields will be higher than when using the cellular telephone while properly connected to an integrated or other outside vehicle telephone antenna.
Your vehicle may be equipped with an optional hands-free system that will permit many of the features of compatible Bluetooth ® enabled cellular telephones to be used for greater convenience and consistent with the laws of an increasing number of states and localities that prohibit the use of cellular telephones without some kind of hands-free device.
The hands-free system in your vehicle can be used with certain mobile phones that are connected by wire and hardware connector or via compatible Bluetooth® enabled phones with a cradle that is designed to fit your cellular telephone. The special cradle offers several advantages: The phone cradle must be safely secured to the base plate. Your phone is firmly attached to the instrument panel and is within reach at all times. Placing the phone in its cradle permits it to be charged, but more importantly connects the mobile phone to the vehicle's outside antenna. A cellular telephone that is properly connected to the integrated or other outside vehicle telephone antenna will lower the personal exposure to electromagnetic fields. You should also experience a better quality of service. Although a cellular telephone can be used inside your vehicle without a cradle, the phone will not be securely attached to the vehicle, will also not be charged through the cradle wiring, and more importantly will not be connected to the vehicle's integrated telephone antenna. The mobile phone will also not be recharged. You might also experience more dropped calls and an overall impaired quality of the connection.
Therefore we strongly recommend that you use your cellular telephone in your vehicle only when it is properly attached to an appropriate cradle mounted on a base plate on the instrument panel.
Because of the large number and variety of cellular telephones on the market and the frequency with which new models are introduced, Volkswagen does not offer cradles for cellular telephones. Please check with the manufacturer of the cellular telephone that you plan to use.
WARNING
A mobile phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places can be thrown around the inside of the vehicle during a sudden braking maneuver, a crash or other accident and injure vehicle occupants.
x Never place or attach accessories or other objects (such as cup holders, telephone brackets, note pads, navigation systems, large, heavy or bulky objects) on the doors, on the windshield, over or near the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, instrument panel, backrests or between these areas and the occupant. Such objects could cause serious injury in a collision, especially if an airbag inflates.

WARNING
Using the wrong jack to raise a vehicle with side steps, extended door sills, additional decorative trim or other enhancements in the area of the lower side sills can cause the vehicle to fall off the jack and result in serious personal injury.
x Never use the standard jack supplied with unmodified vehicles to raise the vehicle. The side step can interfere with the jack when raising the vehicle.
x Always use the scissor vehicle jack supplied with the authorized side step package when the vehicle must be jacked up, for example, to change a tire.
WARNING
Improper use of your vehicle jack can cause the vehicle to fall off the jack leading to serious personal injury. To help reduce the risk of serious personal injury:
x Use only jacks approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle. Other jacks might slip, even those approved for other Volkswagen models, but not for your vehicle.
x Always set up the jack on firm and level ground. The vehicle may slip off the jack if the jack is resting on soft or sloping ground. If necessary, place a sturdy board under the jack.
x On a hard, slippery surface (such as a tiled floor), use an anti-skid rubber mat or something similar to prevent the jack from slipping.
x Position the jack only at the described vehicle lift points. Before you raise your vehicle, always make sure the jack claw properly grips the rib under the sill so that the jack does not slip off when you are raising the vehicle .
x Never have any part of your body (such as your arm or leg) under the vehicle when it is supported by the jack. Never let other persons have any part of their body under the vehicle, either!
x If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, always make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to support the weight of the vehicle.
x Never lift the vehicle when it is tilted or inclined to one side or the engine is running.
x Never lift the vehicle when more than one tire is flat or damaged.
x Do not start the engine while the vehicle is supported by a jack. Engine vibrations may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack.
WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents and serious injuries.
x Always review and follow the checklist. Follow accepted safety practices and use common sense.

Orientation lines overview
Meaning of the orientation lines and areas projected on screen ⇒ fig. 274. All distances of the orientation lines refer to a vehicle on a level surface.
(1) Red: Safety distance: Area up to about 16 inches (40 cm) behind the vehicle on the road.
(2) Vehicle's width limits.
(3) Point to change steering angle.
When the yellow line touches the curb or any other parking space boundary, the steering wheel must be turned in the opposite direction (close-up view).
(4) The parking area parallel to the vehicle which is needed for parking. The area shown must fit completely into the parking space.
(5) Parked vehicle at the curb.
Parking
x Position the vehicle about 3 feet (1 meter) away from and parallel to the parking space and shift into Reverse.
x On the screen of the navigation system, activate Mode 2 for parallel parking.
x Back up slowly and steer the vehicle so that the yellow surface on the screen is flush with the side boundary of the parking space (such as the curb) and stops short of any obstacle (5), such as another vehicle.
x Turn the steering wheel as far as it will go into the direction of the parking space and slowly back up.
x Once the yellow line (3) touches the side boundary of the parking space, such as a painted line or a curb (close-up view), turn the steering wheel as far as it will go in the opposite direction.
x Continue backing up until the vehicles is positioned in the parking space parallel to the roadway. If necessary, correct the parking position.
It may take up to 5 seconds for the area detected by the sensors to be displayed on the factory-installed radio or navigation screen.
