Vehicle care
Notes on vehicle care
Regular and expert care helps to maintain the value of the vehicle.
Leaving stains, dirt and other deposits on the surface of vehicle components and cloth seat covers
for a long time can make it difficult to clean and treat them. Stains, dirt and deposits may become
impossible to remove, particularly if left for a long time.
For proper cleaning and care, Volkswagen recommends using Genuine care products that have
been matched to your vehicle. Consult a qualified workshop if you have any specific questions or if
vehicle parts are not listed.
1yf
Incorrect care and cleaning of vehicle parts can impair the safety features of the vehicle
and cause serious injury.
•Vehicle parts must be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions.
•Always use approved or recommended cleaning products.
•Do not use solvent-based cleaning products. Solvents can cause irreparable damage
to the airbag modules.
•Protect your hands and arms against parts with sharp edges, e.g. when cleaning the
underbody or the insides of the wheel housings.
WARNING
Dirty, misted or iced over windows reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and
severe injuries. This could impair the safety equipment of the vehicle.
•Only drive when you have a clear view through all windows.
•Do not treat the windscreen with water-repellent window coating agents. In
unfavourable conditions, they can cause increased dazzle.
WARNING

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.
WARNING
®

If the vehicle exceeds the permitted gross weight or axle load for the rear axle, a speed of 80 km/h
must not be exceeded when towing a trailer. This also applies to countries where higher speeds are
permitted. Always obey speed limits. In some areas speed limits for vehicles towing trailers are
lower than for vehicles without trailers.
Any permitted excess loads for the vehicle are entered in the vehicle documents. If no permitted
excess load is entered, the permitted driving speed limit is 100 km/h taking into account country-
specific legislation.
