Driving data

Application software, its usage and the wireless connection required to use application software may be billable services. Apps may be provided by third parties. Therefore you should refer to the terms of use and privacy statements associated with the apps for information about how the apps collect, use and share information about you, your vehicle or your mobile device.
The application software provided may be designed to be used for a variety of purposes and be spe-
cific to your vehicle and country ⇒ . The content, range of software provided and application soft-ware provider can vary. Some application software is also subject to the availability of services provid-ed by third parties. In order for some application software to work, wireless service reception must be strong enough to handle the data exchange involved (text and data rates apply).
Application software descriptions may be provided by the service provider.
Due to the multitude of mobile devices and fast pace of software development, the application soft-ware provided may not run on all mobile devices and their operating systems. This may even apply for the same model of a mobile device. For example, application software may run on version 2 of the device's operating system but not on version 3.
Application software can be modified, discontinued, deactivated, reactivated or expanded without any further notice.
In order for some application software to work, the wireless or cable connection between the factory-installed Radio or Navigation system and a compatible, functioning mobile device must be strong enough and uninterrupted.
NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for vehicle damage caused by inferior-quality or malicious application software, poorly programmed application software, insufficient wireless service reception, data loss during transmission or misuse of mobile devices.

Canadian customers can contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen Service Facility or call the Volkswagen Canada Customer CARE Center at 1-800-822-8987.
NOTICE
The remote control vehicle keys contain electrical components. Protect them from damage, moisture and rough handling.
Do not press the buttons on the remote control vehicle key unless you actually want to use the function in question. Since terrain and conditions vary, pressing a button on the remote control vehicle key when it is not necessary may unlock the vehicle or set off the panic alarm, even if you think you are out of range.
Remote control vehicle key functions can be temporarily disrupted by interference from transmit-ters near the vehicle that use the same frequency range (such as radio equipment or mobile phones).
Things between the remote control vehicle key and vehicle, bad weather, as well as a weak battery can reduce the operating range.
If the remote control vehicle key buttons ⇒  Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the outside or
the power locking buttons ⇒  Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the inside are pushed repeatedly in quick succession, the power locking system is switched off for a brief period to help keep it from being overloaded. The vehicle is then unlocked for about 30 seconds. Unless a door or the rear hatch is opened in this span of time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.

Infotainment system accessories
Vehicles equipped with an Infotainment system may have a CD player, SD card readers, or other
Infotainment System accessories ⇒ fig. 118 (2) in the glove compartment. See ⇒ Chapter Radio,
Navigation System for further information.
Owner's Manual
If the vehicle is not equipped with an Infotainment system, there is a slot for the Owner's Manual in the upper part of the glove compartment. Always keep the Owner's Manual in this slot or in the glove compartment as shown in (4).
Holders
Depending on vehicle equipment, there may be holders for SD cards (1), other types of cards (3), and a coin holder in the upper part of the glove compartment.
There may also be additional holders for coins, cards, or sunglasses in the glove compartment cover (5).
Cooling the glove compartment
There is an air vent (6) in the glove compartment. Cool air can be directed into the glove compartment if the air conditioner is on. Open or close the air vent by turning it.
WARNING
An open glove compartment door can increase the risk of serious injury during sudden brak-ing or driving maneuvers or in a crash.
x Always keep the glove compartment closed while the vehicle is moving.
NOTICE
In some vehicle models, design considerations have made it necessary to have openings in the glove compartment behind the Owner's Manual slot, for example. Small items may fall through these openings and get behind the instrument panel. This can cause unusual noises and dam-age the vehicle. Never put any small objects in the glove compartment for this reason.
