Technical progress has made it possible to considerably reduce servicing requirements. An oil change 
service must only be carried out when required by the vehicle. The individual conditions in which the 
vehicle is used and the driver's personal driving style are taken into account. The service reminder is 
displayed 30 days before the service is due. The distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km and the 
remaining time is rounded to full days. 
Service alert 
If a service or inspection is due soon, a service alert will appear the next time the ignition is switched 
on. 
The number of kilometres or amount of time shown correspond to the maximum number of 
kilometres or maximum time that can still be driven before the next service. 
Service event 
In the event of a due service or a due inspection, a signal tone will be given when the ignition is 
switched on and the spanner symbol will be displayed for several seconds on the instrument 
cluster display. One of the following displays will also appear Fig. 19

Features of the flexible service 
With the flexible service, you only need to have an oil change service carried out if your vehicle 
requires one. Individual operating conditions and personal driving style are taken into account in 
order to determine this point in time. An important part of the flexible service is the use of LongLife 
engine oil instead of conventional oil. 
Observe the information on engine oil specifications according to VW standards Engine oil 
If you do not wish to have the flexible service, you can opt for the fixed service instead. However, a 
fixed service can affect your service costs. Your service advisor will be pleased to help.

Vehicle care 
Notes on vehicle care 
Regular, expert care helps to maintain your vehicle. 
The longer contamination or dirt is left on the surface of vehicle components and upholstery fabrics, 
the more difficult it can become to clean and treat them. Extended exposure may mean that it is no 
longer possible to remove contamination or dirt. 
Volkswagen recommend using Genuine care products that have been matched to your vehicle.1) 
Consult a qualified workshop if you have any specific questions or if vehicle parts are not listed.

Incorrect care and cleaning of vehicle components can impair the safety features of the vehicle and 
cause serious injury.

The selling Volkswagen dealership will issue a comprehensive LongLife mobility guarantee for every 
new vehicle which applies from the time of delivery until the first due inspection. If you purchase 
your new vehicle directly from Volkswagen AG, Volkswagen AG will issue the LongLife mobility 
guarantee from the time of delivery until the first due inspection. 
Your Volkswagen dealership will extend the LongLife mobility guarantee until the following 
inspection when the due inspection is carried out by the dealership. The service costs include the 
entire guarantee package. 
The comprehensive LongLife mobility guarantee includes the following services: 
If your vehicle can no longer be driven due to a technical defect1), corresponding assistance will be 
provided in the case of breakdown or accident. The LongLife mobility guarantee provides with you 
protection and mobility. 
The inspection is not only about car maintenance - it also ensures that your car remains roadworthy 
and in perfect working order. For this reason, servicing should be carried out regularly in accordance 
with the manufacturer's specifications. 
Your entitlement to the LongLife mobility guarantee is documented in the digital service schedule 
each time your car is serviced. A full service history shows that your car has been professionally 
maintained and cared for. 
1) A vehicle which can no longer be driven is a vehicle which cannot reach a workshop under its own 
power. 
Data storage and services 
Your vehicle is fitted with electronic control units. Some of these are required to make sure your 
vehicle remains safe while others provide support while driving (driver assist systems). Furthermore, 
your vehicle is equipped with convenience and Infotainment functions, which are also made possible 
using electronic control units. 
Electronic control units contain data memories which can store information regarding the vehicle 
status, component load levels, servicing requirements, technical events and faults on a temporary or 
permanent basis. This information generally documents the status of a component, a module, a 
system or the environment, e.g.: 
. filling levels, tyre pressure, battery status.

The data of the event data recorder are recorded only if a particular accident-like situation occurs. 
No recordings occur under normal driving conditions. Audio or video data from the vehicle interior 
or vehicle surroundings are not stored. Personal data such as name, gender, age or accident location 
are also not recorded at any time. However, third parties such as law enforcement agencies can use 
corresponding means to link the content of the event data recorder with other sources of data and 
thus establish a reference to persons as part of an accident investigation. 
Special equipment, access to the legally prescribed diagnostic interface (on-board diagnosis) and 
switched-on ignition are required in order to read data out of the event data recorder. 
Volkswagen will not access, read out or process data from the event data recorder unless the vehicle 
owner (or lessee in the case of leasing) grants their permission. Exceptions to this are contractual or 
legal provisions. 
Due to its legal product monitoring obligations, Volkswagen is entitled to use the data for field 
monitoring and also for research purposes and quality improvements. For research purposes, 
Volkswagen makes the data available to third parties in anonymous form, in other words without 
any reference to the individual vehicle, vehicle owner or lessee. 
Reprogramming control units 
All data for the control of components are stored in the control units. Some convenience functions, 
such as convenience turn signal, single door unlocking and displays, can be reprogrammed using 
special workshop equipment. If the convenience functions are reprogrammed, the specifications and 
descriptions in this owner's manual will no longer match the original functions. Volkswagen 
recommends having any reprogramming entered into the digital service schedule by a Volkswagen 
dealership or qualified workshop. 
Information about possible reprogramming can be obtained from the Volkswagen dealership. 
Convenience and Infotainment functions 
Depending on the equipment selected, you can store your own data in the vehicle's Infotainment 
functions. This includes, for example: 
 
data for use with a hands-free system or navigation system. 
 
 
These data can be stored locally in the vehicle or located on a device that you have connected to the 
vehicle, e.g. mobile device, USB stick or MP3 player. If these data are stored in the vehicle, you can
