Jump lead connection point (earth connection)
Fig. 215 In the engine compartment: jump start connection point (earth connection).
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
There is a jump lead connection point (earth connection) in the engine compartment for connecting
the black jump lead ⇒ Fig. 215㊀.
The vehicle can be jump-started or be used to jump-start another vehicle only via this jump lead
connection point.
Jump lead connection point (positive terminal)
Fig. 216 In the engine compartment underneath a cover: jump lead connection point (positive
terminal).
Using the jump leads incorrectly or completing the jump start procedure incorrectly can
cause the 12-volt vehicle battery to explode, which can lead to severe injuries. Please
observe the following in order to reduce the risk of the 12-volt vehicle battery exploding:
•All work on the 12-volt vehicle battery and the electrical system can cause serious
chemical burns, fire or electric shocks. Always read the warnings and safety
information before carrying out any kind of work on the 12-volt vehicle battery ⇒ 12-
volt vehicle battery.
•The vehicle battery providing assistance must have the same voltage as the flat vehicle
battery (12 volts) and approximately the same capacity (see label on battery).
•Never charge a 12-volt vehicle battery that is frozen or that has thawed. Discharged 12-
volt vehicle batteries can already freeze at temperatures of around 0°C (+32°F).
•The 12-volt vehicle battery should be replaced if it is frozen or has thawed.
•A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the 12-volt vehicle battery is
jump started. Always keep fire, sparks, naked flames and lit cigarettes away from the
12-volt vehicle battery. Never use a mobile telephone when the jump leads are being
connected or disconnected.
•Position the jump leads so that they never come into contact with any moving parts in
the engine compartment.
•Never confuse the negative and positive terminals or connect the jump leads
incorrectly.
•Observe the jump lead manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING
Please note the following in order to avoid considerable damage to the vehicle electrical
system:
•A short circuit can be caused if the jump leads are wrongly connected.
•The vehicles must not touch each other, as any contact could mean that electricity
could flow as soon as the positive terminals are connected.

Repairs and technical modifications
Repairs and technical modifications must always be carried out according to Volkswagen
specifications⇒.
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic components or software in the vehicle may cause
malfunctions. As the electronic components are linked together in networks, these faults may
indirectly affect the working of other systems. This can seriously impair safety, lead to excessive
wear of components, and also invalidate the type approval for the vehicle.
The Volkswagen dealership cannot be held liable for any damage caused by technical
modifications and/or work performed incorrectly.
The Volkswagen dealership is not responsible for damage caused by technical modifications and/or
work performed incorrectly. Such damage is not covered by the Volkswagen guarantee.
Volkswagen recommends that all repairs and technical modifications be performed by an
authorised Volkswagen workshop using Volkswagen Genuine Parts.

Vehicles with special auxiliary equipment or body parts
The manufacturer of these components must ensure that these parts (fittings) adhere to the
stipulated environmental laws and regulations, particularly the EU directive 2000/53/EC concerning
end-of-life vehicles and EU directive 2003/11/EC concerning the restriction on the marketing and
use of certain dangerous substances and preparations.
The vehicle owner should keep all assembly documentation for these auxiliary fittings, and pass it
on to any scrapping company later engaged. This is to facilitate environmentally responsible
disposal for all vehicles, including refitted vehicles.
Windscreen repairs
To function properly, some items of equipment require an electrical or electronic module, which is
located on the inside of the windscreen near the interior mirror. If the windscreen has been
damaged in the viewing field of the electrical or electronic module, e.g. by stone impact, the
windscreen must be replaced. Repairing the crack can lead to malfunctions or functional faults in
the equipment.
After changing the windscreen, the camera and sensors must be set up and calibrated by a
qualified workshop.
Impairment or damage to sensors and cameras
Incorrect repairs, retrofit structural modifications to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the body, add-on parts
on the vehicle or trailer ⇒ Trailer towing, or changes to the trim may lead to the sensors or
cameras being disrupted or damaged. This can also be caused by collisions, e.g. when parking.
Failure to observe this may impair important functions (driver assist systems) and damage the
vehicle.
The area in front of and around the sensors and cameras must not be covered by stickers,
additional headlights, trim frames for number plates or similar.
Incorrectly performed repairs or modifications to your vehicle can impair the effectiveness
of the airbags, cause malfunctions, accidents and fatal injury.
•Never secure or mount objects such as drink holders or telephone holders either on or
next to the airbag covers or within the deployment zones of the airbag modules.
•Objects either on or next to the airbag module covers or are in the deployment zone of
the airbags can cause serious or even fatal injuries should the airbags be activated.

Repairs and structural modifications should be carried out by a qualified workshop. Volkswagen
recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
•Repainting and paint touch-ups in the area around the sensors may impair the function of the
system in question.
•As the Volkswagen badge influences the view of the radar sensor in the front area, drive the
vehicle only with the original Volkswagen badge.
Engine and transmission guard
An engine and transmission guard can reduce the risk of damage to the underside of the vehicle
and to the engine oil sump.
Depending on where the vehicle is used, it may be a good idea to have an engine and transmission
guard installed, e.g. if the vehicle will be driven over kerbs, on driveways or on unsurfaced roads. If
you wish to have one fitted, Volkswagen recommends contacting your Volkswagen dealership.
Repairs and faults in the airbag system
Repairs and technical modifications must always be carried out according to Volkswagen
specifications⇒.
Modifications and repairs to the front bumper, the doors, the front seats, the headliner, or the
bodywork should be carried out by a qualified workshop. System components and airbag system
sensors might be fitted on these vehicle components.
If you work on the airbag system or remove and install parts of the system when performing other
repair work, parts of the airbag system may be damaged. 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 environmental pollution. Qualified workshops are
familiar 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 that have not been approved
by Volkswagen, lowering the vehicle, making modifications to the suspension rate including work on
the springs, struts and shock absorbers could change the forces that are measured by the airbag
sensors and sent to the electronic control unit. Some changes to the suspension could cause the
forces measured by the sensors to increase, for example. This can lead to the airbag system being
triggered in collision scenarios where it normally would not be triggered if modifications to the
suspension had not been made. Other modifications can cause the forces measured by the
sensors to decrease, therefore preventing the airbag system from being triggered when it should
have been.
Incorrect repairs and modifications can cause malfunctions and damage to the vehicle
and impair the effectiveness of the driver assist systems. This can result in accidents and
severe injuries.
•Repairs and modifications to your vehicle should be carried out only by a qualified
workshop.
WARNING
Unsuitable spare parts and accessories, incorrectly carried out work, modifications and
repairs can lead to damage to the vehicle and cause accidents and serious injuries.
•Volkswagen strongly recommends you use only approved Volkswagen accessories
and Volkswagen Genuine Parts. These parts and accessories have been specially
tested by Volkswagen for suitability, reliability and safety.
•Repairs and modifications to your vehicle should only be carried out by a qualified
workshop. Qualified workshops have the necessary tools, diagnostic equipment, repair
information and qualified personnel.
•Never fit parts to your vehicle that are in any way different from the factory-fitted parts.
•Never secure or mount objects such as drink holders or telephone holders either on or
next to the airbag covers or within the deployment zones of the airbag modules.
•Only use rim/tyre combinations which have been approved by Volkswagen for your
vehicle type.

Mobile communication in the vehicle
Electromagnetic radiation
If a mobile telephone or radio device is used without being connected to the external aerial, the
electromagnetic radiation will not be optimally directed to the outside of the vehicle. Increased
levels of radiation in the vehicle interior can occur in particular in the event of poor reception, e.g. in
rural areas. This could constitute a health hazard ⇒.
Depending on the equipment, you may be able to use a suitable mobile phone interface to connect
the mobile telephone to the external aerial ⇒BookletInfotainment system,. The connection quality is
improved and the range of the mobile communication device is increased.
Using a telephone
Many countries require a hands-free system to be used when using a telephone inside the vehicle,
e.g. via a Bluetooth connection. Before use, secure the mobile telephone to a suitable bracket ⇒
or stow it in a storage compartment so that it cannot slip around, e.g. in the centre console.
Use a compatible mobile telephone if the mobile phone interface uses the remote SIM Access
Profile (rSAP) technology.
Two-way radios
Observe legal regulations and the manufacturer's operating instructions for operation of two-way
radios. Approval is required for retrofitting two-way radio systems.
Ask your Volkswagen dealership for further information on installation of two-way radio systems.
Customer information
Incorrect repairs and modifications can cause malfunctions and damage to the vehicle
and impair the effectiveness of the airbag 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.
•Airbag 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.
WARNING
Modifications to the vehicle's suspension, including the use of unsuitable tyre/rim
combinations, can cause the airbag 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 suspension 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.
WARNING
®
Mobile telephones which are loosely placed in the vehicle or not properly secured could
be flung through the vehicle interior and cause injuries during a sudden driving or braking
manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
•Secure any mobile telephones and accessories located beyond the deployment zone of
the airbags, or stow them safely.
WARNING
If mobile telephones or two-way radios that are not connected to an external aerial are
used, electromagnetic radiation in the vehicle could exceed limit values and thus be a
health hazard for drivers and other vehicle occupants. This also applies to external aerials
which have not been correctly installed.
•Keep a distance of at least 20 cm between a device's aerial and an active medical
implant, e.g. a pacemaker.
•Do not carry an operational device close to or directly above an active medical implant,
e.g. in a breast pocket.
•Switch off the device immediately if you suspect it may be interfering with an active
medical implant or any other medical device.
