Brake fluid will gradually absorb water from the surrounding air. The brake system will be damaged if there is too much water in the brake fluid. The boiling point of the brake fluid is also considerably reduced by the water content. Heavy use of the brakes may cause a vapour lock in the brake sys-tem if the water content is too high. Vapour locks reduce levels of braking power, considerably in-crease braking distance and can even cause the brake system to fail completely. Your own safety and that of other road users depends on having a brake system that functions properly at all times
Brake fluid specification
Volkswagen has developed a brake fluid that has been optimised for the brake system in the vehicle. To ensure optimal operation of the brake system, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends the use of brake fluid compliant with VW stand-ard 501 14.
Before using a particular brake fluid, check that the specifications printed on the container correspond to the vehicle requirements.
Brake fluid that is compliant with VW stand-ard 501 14 is available from Volkswagen Commer-cial Vehicles dealerships.
If this brake fluid is not available and it is necessa-ry to use another high-quality brake fluid instead, brake fluid that is compliant with DIN ISO 4925 CLASS 4 or US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4 can be used.
Not all brake fluids that are compliant with DIN ISO 4925 CLASS 4 or US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4 have the same chemical com-position. Some of these brake fluids may contain chemicals that can damage or destroy brake sys-tem components over time.
To ensure sustained optimal operation of the brake system, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles there-fore recommends the use of brake fluid that is compliant with VW standard 501 14.
Brake fluid that is compliant with VW stand-ard 501 14 fulfils the requirements of DIN ISO 4925 CLASS 4 or US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level must always be between the MIN and MAX marking of the brake fluid container or above the MIN marking &.
The brake fluid level cannot be checked accurately in all models as engine components may partially conceal the brake fluid container. If the brake fluid level cannot be read exactly, please go to a quali-fied workshop.
The brake fluid level drops slightly when the vehi-cle is being used as the brake pads wear and the brakes are automatically adjusted.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed as indicated in the service schedule Service schedule. The brake fluid should be changed by a qualified workshop. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles rec-ommends using a Volkswagen Commercial Vehi-cles dealership for this purpose. Only brake fluid that confonns with the required specification should be used.
A WARNING
Brake failure or reduced braking effect can be caused by the brake fluid level being too low or by brake fluid that Is too old or unsuitable.
• The brake system and brake fluid level must be checked regularly.
• The brake fluid should be changed regu-larly, according to the service schedule Service schedule.
• Heavy use of the brakes may cause a va-pour lock If the brake fluid Is left In the sys-tem for too long. Vapour locks reduce levels

Cleaning and caring for natural leather covers
r-f"'n First read and observe the introductory L-.I.::.U information and safety warnings & on page 388.
Please contact a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership or other qualified workshop if you have any questions on cleaning and caring for the leath-er equipment in your vehicle.
Care and use
Natural leather is sensitive as it does not have a uniform coating of dye.
• Use a leather cream with sunlight protection and impregnation properties on a regular basis and always after cleaning. The cream nourishes the leather, keeps it breathable and supple and repla-ces lost moisture. lt also protects the surface.
• Leather should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months and fresh stains removed.
Type of stain Cleaning
• Treat the leather with a special leather care product every six months
• Apply cleaning and care products sparingly.
• Remove fresh stains such as ink, ball-point pen ink, lipstick, shoe cream etc. as quickly as possi-ble.
• Look after the pigment. Use a special coloured leather cream to refresh the colour where necessa-ry.
• Wipe it off with a soft cloth.
Cleaning
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that you use a damp cotton or wool cloth for gener-al cleaning purposes.
Do not let the water soak through the leather or soak into the seams.
Stubborn stains -Wring out the cloth thoroughly before use and apply a mild soap solu-tional. -Dry with an absorbent, dry cloth.
Water-based stains, e.g. cof--Remove fresh stains with an absorbent cloth. fee, tea, juice, blood etc. -If the stain has already dried, use a suitable cleaning agent
Oily stains, e.g. oil, lipstick etc. -Remove fresh stains with an absorbent cloth. -Use a suitable cleaning product for stains that are not yet on the surface
-Treat dry stains with a grease-removing spray
Difficult stains, e.g. biro, felt tip pen, nail varnish, emul-sion paint. shoe polish etc.
-Dry with an absorbent, dry cloth. -Clean with a suitable leather stain remover.

or sensors has been damaged, e.g. by stone im-pact, the windscreen must be replaced. Repairing the crack can lead to malfunction or functional faults in the equipment.
After changing the windscreen, the camera and sensors must be set up and calibrated by a quali-fied workshop.
A WARNING
Incorrect repairs and modifications can cause functional problems and damage to the vehicle and impair the effectiveness of the driver assist systems. This can result In acci-dents and severe Injuries.
• Repairs and modifications to your vehicle should only be carried out by a qualified workshop.
Repairs and faults in the airbag system
,....,..,. First read and observe the introductory l.-Jo:-11 Information and safety warnings&. on page 394.
Repairs and modifications must always be car-ried out according to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles specifications"*&.!
Modifications and repairs to the front bumper, the doors, the front seats, the headliner, or the body-work should be carried out by a qualified work-shop. System components and airbag system sen-sors might be fitted on these vehicle components.
If you work on the airbag system or remove and in-stall parts of the system when performing other re-pair work, parts of the airbag system may be dam-aged. The consequence may be that, in the event of an accident, the airbag inflates incorrectly or does not inflate at all.
Regulations must be observed to ensure that the effectiveness of the airbags is not reduced and that removed parts do not cause any injuries or envi-ronmental pollution. Qualified workshops are famili-ar with these requirements.
Any modifications to the vehicle's suspension could prevent the airbag system from working properly during a collision. For example, using tyre/ rim combinations which have not been approved by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, lowering the vehicle, making modifications to the suspension rate including work on the springs, struts and shock absorbers could cause the forces which are measured by the airbag sensors and sent to the electronic control unit to change. Some changes to the suspension could cause the forces measured by the sensors to increase. This can lead to the airbag system being triggered in collision scenarios
where it normally would not be triggered if modifi-cations to the suspension had not been made. Other modifications can cause the forces meas-ured by the sensors to decrease. therefore pre-venting the airbag system from being triggered when it should have been.
A WARNING
Incorrect repairs and modifications can cause function problems and damage to the vehicle and Impair the effectiveness of the alrbag system. This can result In accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.
• Repairs and modifications to your vehicle should only be carried out by a qualified workshop.
• Alrbag modules cannot be repaired. They must be replaced.
• Never use recycled airbag components or components that have been taken from end-of-life vehicles In your vehicle.
A WARNING
Modifications to the vehicle's suspension, in-cluding the use of unsuitable tyre/rim combi-nations, can cause the alrbag system to work differently and increase the risk of serious or fatal injuries In the event of an accident.
• Never install any components in the sus-pension system that do not have the same characteristics as the original factory-fitted components.
• Never use tyre/rim combinations that have not been approved by Volkswagen Commer-cial Vehicles.

Additional functions that are contractually agreed with the customer, e.g. vehicle positioning in an emergency, allow certain vehicle data to be trans-mitted from the vehicle.
Event data recorder
The vehicle is not fitted with an event data record-er.
Event data recorders temporarily store vehicle in-formation. This provides precise information in the event of an accident. In vehicles with an airbag system, data that might be relevant in the event of an accident can be stored, e.g. impact speed, belt buckle status, seat positions and trigger speed. The scope of the data is manufacturer-specific.
An event data recorder may only be fitted if the owner has approved the procedure. This is cov-ered by legislation in some countries.
Reprogramming control units
All data for the control of components are stored in the control units. Some convenience functions, such as lane change flash, single door unlocking and displays, can be reprogrammed using special workshop equipment. If this is the case, the de-scriptions in your vehicle wallet will no longer cor-respond with the original functions. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that any re-programming should be confirmed in the service schedule under "Workshop comments".
Information about possible reprogramming can be obtained from the Volkswagen dealership.
Reading the vehicle's event memory
There is a diagnostic interface for reading the event memories in the vehicle interior &. Data relating to the function and status of the electronic control units are stored in the event memory. Addi-tional information on the stored data is available from qualified workshops.
The diagnosis interface is located in the footwell on the driver side behind a cover next to the lever for opening the bonnet.
The event memory should only be read and reset by a qualified workshop.
After a fault has been rectified, the information in the memory pertaining to the fault is deleted. Other memory content is overwritten on an on-going ba-sis.
A WARNING
Incorrect use of the diagnostic Interface can cause faults, which can result in accidents and serious injuries.
• Never read the event memory using the di-agnostic Interface yourself.
• The diagnostic Interface should only be read by a qualified workshop.

,...--.m First read and observe the introductory L--I=>U information and safety warnings & on page 394.
Both during telephone calls and in standby mode, mobile telephones transmit and receive radio waves, which may also be termed "high-frequency energy". Current scientific literature warns us that radio waves can be harmful to human beings if they exceed certain limits. Government bodies and international committees have introduced threshold values and guidelines to ensure that electromag-netic radiation produced by mobile telephones does not pose a hazard to health. However, there is no proven scientific evidence that demonstrates that cordless telephones are absolutely safe.
For this reason, some experts are calling for more precautions to be taken in the use of mobile tele-phones, by taking steps to reduce the level of per-sonal exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
If a mobile telephone that is not connected to the vehicle's external aerial is used inside the vehicle, the level of electromagnetic radiation could be higher than when the mobile telephone is connec-ted to an integrated aerial or any other external aerial.
If the vehicle is fitted with a suitable hands-free unit which enables the use of innumerable additional functions of Bluetooth® compatible mobile tele-phones, this will satisfy the legal requirements in many countries which permit the use of a mobile telephone in a vehicle only if a hands-free unit is used.
The factory-fitted hands-free system in your vehicle has been developed for use with mobile tele-phones that are compatible with Bluetooth®_ Mo-bile telephones must be carried in a suitable tele-phone holder or be stored securely in the vehicle. If a telephone holder is used it must be securely at-tached to the base plate. This is the only way to .,.
