2015 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER service schedule

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. Using a mobile telephone in the vehicle without a connection to the

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 .,.

Many mobile devices have the option to download applications (apps). Apps can display additional in-formation regarding factory-fitted radio and naviga-tion systems or can allow you to activate, manage or deactivate certain functions in the vehicle.
Applications, use of applications and the required mobile network may be subject to fees.
The range of applications available can be wide or they can be vehicle-specific and country-specific =>CD. Content, range and provider of applications can vary. Some applications also depend on avail-ability of services offered by third parties. A mobile network with sufficient signal strength for exchange of data must be available for the use of applica-tions.
The provider of an application may provide a de-scription of it.
Due to the high number of mobile devices and the fast pace of software development, the applica-tions on offer cannot be operated on all mobile de-

Safety certificate
A safety certificate on the door pillar of the driver door provides the information that all necessary safety standards and specifications of the transport safety authorities of the individual country have been met at the time of production. The month and year of production and the chassis number may al-so be listed.
High voltage warning sticker
There is a sticker near the bonnet lock showing a warning about the high voltage in the vehicle's electrical system. The vehicle's ignition system ful-fils the requirements of standards that include
Canadian standard ICES-002. Using the vehicle in other countries and continents
r--('n First read and observe the lntrod uctory L-Jo-ll Information and safety warnings & on page 404.
The vehicle has been manufactured specifically for a particular country and complies with the registra-tion regulations that applied in that country at the time of vehicle production.
If you want to use the vehicle abroad for a short period, all relevant information and Instructions should be followed 34, Driving abroad.
If the vehicle is going to be sold in another country or used in another country for an extended period, the legal requirements applicable in that country must be observed.
In some cases, certain equipment will have to be fitted or removed and functions deactivated. The service scope and service types could also be af-
fected. This is particularly important if the vehicle is driven in another climate region for a long period of time.
Because different frequency bands are used in dif-ferent countries, the factory-fitted radio or naviga-tion system may not work in other countries.
