The memory collects travel and consumption data from the moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. The memory is automatically deleted whenever the journey is interrupted for more than 2 hours. If the journey is continued within two hours of the ignition being switched off, the new values will be added to the existing trip recorder.
The memory collects journey data for any number of individual journeys up to a to-tal of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99 hours and 59 minutes journey time or 1,999.9 km (miles) or 9,999 km (miles) distance travelled.

Driving abroad
r-f'n First read and observe the introductory l.-J=.U information and safety warnings.& on page 33.
Checklist
In some countries, special safety standards and emissions-related regulations apply that the vehi-cle may not comply with. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that you visit your Volkswa-gen Commercial Vehicles dealer before travelling abroad to find out about any legal requirements and the following points concerning your destina-tion:
..( Does the vehicle need any technical modifi-cations for driving abroad, e.g. masking or switching the headlights over?
..( Are the necessary tools, diagnostic equip-ment and spare parts available for service and repair work?
..( Are there any Volkswagen Commercial Ve-hicles dealerships in the country of destina-tion?

..( Secure animals in the vehicle using a sys-tem that is suitable for their weight and size.
A WARNING
Always observe current traffic regulations and speed limits, and think ahead when driv-Ing. Correct interpretation of a driving situa-tion can make the difference between reach-Ing your destination safely and having an ac-cident with serious Injuries.
W Regular servicing of your vehicle not only W maintains its value, it also ensures that your vehicle remains roadworthy and in perfect working order. Servicing work should therefore be carried out in accordance with the service schedule. Some work may have to be carried out before the due date of the next service if the vehicle is subjected to severe operating conditions. Severe operating conditions are, for example, regular stop and go driving, regular driving with a trailer and driving in areas with high levels of dust. Additional informa-tion is available from your Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership or qualified workshop.
..( Are the correct engine oil 353 and other service fluids in accordance with the specifications of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles available in the destination coun-try?
..( Will the factory-fitted navigation system work with the navigation data available in the destination country?
..( Are special tyres necessary for travelling in the destination country?

r-f'n First read and observe the introductory L..-.J,:.I.J Information and safety warnings & on page 87.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front airbag system gives the front occupants additional protec-tion for the head and chest in the event of a severe frontal collision. Always keep as far away from the front airbag as possible 61. This allows the front airbags to inflate fully when triggered, thus providing maximum protection.
The front airbag for the driver is located in the steering wheel 71 and the front airbag for the front passenger is located In the dash panel 72. The airbag locations are identified by the text "AIRBAG".
The areas inside the red lines 71 and 72 are covered by the front airbags when triggered (deployment zone). You must never leave or attach any objects in these areas &. The fac-tory-fitted accessories, such as the base plate for
