A symbol in the instrument cluster display Fig. 184indicates if the bonnet is open or is not closed
properly.
Do not drive on! If necessary, lift the bonnet and then close it again.
This symbol is also visible when the ignition is switched off and will go out a few seconds after the
vehicle has been locked when all doors are closed.

WARNING
Failure to observe warnings can cause your vehicle to break down in traffic, which can lead to
accidents and serious injuries.

The symbol can differ depending on the version of the instrument cluster.
Service fluids and consumables
All service fluids and consumables, e.g. tyres, coolant and vehicle batteries, are being constantly
developed. The same applies to toothed belts, engine oils and spark plugs for combustion engines,
for example. For this reason, service fluids and consumables should be replaced at a qualified
workshop. Volkswagen dealerships always have the latest information about any changes.

WARNING
Unsuitable service fluids and consumables, and the incorrect use of these fluids and consumables,
can cause accidents, serious injuries, burns or poisoning.

Various indicator lamps may light up after the 12-volt vehicle battery has been connected and the
ignition is switched on. They will go out when you drive a short distance at a speed of approximately
15 20 km/h (10 12 mph). If the indicator lamps remain lit up, the vehicle should be checked by a
qualified workshop.

The intelligent vehicle electrical system management function automatically implements a range of
measures to prevent the 12-volt vehicle battery from discharging under high loads:


power supply to the 12-volt socket and the cigarette lighter may be interrupted temporarily
while the engine is being started.
The vehicle electrics management system cannot always prevent the 12-volt vehicle battery from
being discharged, for example if the ignition is left on over a long period with the engine off or the
side lights or parking lights are left on over a long period of time.

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

Aerials on the interior of the windows can be identified by thin wires.

NOTICE
Aerials located on the inside of the windows could be damaged by corrosive or acidic substances or
if hard objects rub against the window.



NOTICE
A retrofitted Infotainment system must be compatible with the aerial amplifier fitted as standard in
the vehicle. The aerial amplifier could otherwise be damaged.
Component protection
Some electronic components and control units are fitted with component protection as standard,
e.g. the Infotainment system.
The component protection allows legitimate installation and replacement of components and
control units by a qualified workshop.
The component protection prevents the factory-supplied components from being operated without
restrictions outside the vehicle in the following situations:


When component protection is activated, the message SAFE CP is shown on the instrument cluster
display. Go to a qualified workshop.
Go to a qualified workshop if the message Component theft protection: Infotainment system

and component protection cannot be deactivated.
