Volkswagen Car-Net
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Legal requirements 
⇒ Deactivating Car-Net services 
⇒ Service impairment or interruption 
⇒ Apps 
Volkswagen Car-Net is not available in all countries and is subject to country-specific limitations on
duration of use.
Volkswagen Car-Net allows you to communicate with your vehicle in order to exchange data,
request information or control functions.
In order to be able to use Volkswagen Car-Net, the vehicle has to be ordered with Car-Net and
factory-fitted with the system. Depending on the service or service portfolio, Volkswagen Car-Net
can be operated via the factory-fitted Infotainment system, via a Car-Net portal on the Internet or
using a mobile device.
Information about the Volkswagen Car-Net services, applications, availability, compatible mobile
devices and service portfolio, as well as service descriptions, are available on the Volkswagen
website:
In Europe and Japan: www.volkswagen.com/car-net

absence of the ⇒ Fig. 144  symbol in the vehicle does not mean that the control unit is not
transmitting the current position or speed of the vehicle.
Personal data
Volkswagen collects, processes and uses the user's personal data in accordance with statutory
requirements. You can access the current data protection policy on the Volkswagen homepage.
Deactivating Car-Net services

Fig. 145 Retrofitted sticker in the vehicle if Volkswagen Car-Net services have been permanently
deactivated.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
If you sell the vehicle or lend it for a longer period, inform the user about the deactivated services
and deactivated control unit.
If your vehicle is already equipped with the legally required emergency call function eCall, this
function will not be affected by the deactivation described here.
Temporary deactivation
If your vehicle is in a workshop, you may find that the service technicians have deactivated individual
or all services for the duration of the workshop visit. The services will be available again once the
work is complete. Please contact your workshop if necessary. Volkswagen Car-Net portfolios can be
deactivated manually in the Infotainment system. The services can then be run again when the
deactivation is cancelled in the Infotainment system. Deactivated services are marked with a
corresponding indication on the start page of the Car-Net portal.
Permanent deactivation
In order to permanently deactivate Car-Net functions in vehicles with the Security & Service or e-
Remote packages, the online connectivity unit must be deactivated by a qualified workshop at your
request.
Once the on-board connectivity unit has been deactivated, the workshop will attach a sticker
⇒ Fig. 145  to your vehicle (e.g. on the roof console). The sticker shows that neither the Volkswagen
emergency call service nor the automatic accident notification will work. All other e-Remote and
Security & Service services will also be deactivated.
Service impairment or interruption

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Even when the above-mentioned requirements for using the services are met, the functionality of
the Car-Net services can be impaired or interrupted due to factors that lie outside the control of
Volkswagen AG. Such factors include in particular:
Maintenance, repairs, software updates and technical changes to your service provider’s
telecommunication systems, satellites, servers and databases.
The telecommunications provider has changed the mobile telecommunication standard for
transferring mobile data, e.g. from UMTS to EDGE or GPRS
An existing mobile telecommunications standard has been shut down by the telecommunications
provider.
Impairment or interruption to mobile and GPS reception, e.g. due to high speeds, solar storms,
weather, landscape, interfering devices or intensive use of the mobile network in the relevant cells.
Restricted availability, completeness or correctness of information provided by third parties, e.g.
maps.
Countries where Volkswagen Car-Net services are not available.
Apps
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The Volkswagen Car-Net app can execute Volkswagen Car-Net services in the vehicle and provide
information.
Volkswagen App-Connect allows content from Volkswagen apps and third party apps on mobile
devices to be shown on the Infotainment system screen.
There may be problems with compatibility with third party apps.
A wide range of applications may be available and they may be vehicle-specific and country-specific
⇒ . Content, range and provider of applications can vary. Some applications also depend on
availability of services offered by third parties.
We are unable to guarantee that the available apps can be run on all mobile devices and all
operating systems.
Applications offered by Volkswagen can be changed, discontinued, deactivated, reactivated and
expanded without prior notice.

Speed limitation
Winter tyres have a speed limit depending on the speed index ⇒ Tyre lettering and tyre type .
Speed warning settings can be made and adjusted in the Infotainment system using the
button and the and Tyres function buttons.
If you use V-rated winter tyres, the speed limits and required tyre pressure are determined by the
engine size. In this case, always ask a Volkswagen dealership about the maximum permitted speed
and required tyre pressure.
All-wheel drive (4MOTION)
Thanks to its all-wheel drive, the vehicle has good traction in winter conditions, even with the
standard tyres. Nevertheless, Volkswagen still recommends that winter tyres or all-year tyres should
be fitted on all four wheels in winter, above all because this will give improved braking efficiency.
Observe information on snow chains⇒ Snow chains .

WARNING
The improved driving characteristics afforded by the winter tyres in winter conditions should not
encourage you to take any risks.
driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.


The vehicle handling is better if summer tyres are fitted at temperatures above +7°C (+45°F). The
rolling noise is quieter, the tyre wear lower and the energy efficiency higher in this case.

In vehicles with a Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator, the system has to re-synchronise after wheels are
changed ⇒ Tyre monitoring system .

Volkswagen dealerships can provide details on permissible winter tyre sizes.

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 

The service events differ according to oil change service and inspection. The service interval display
in the display of the instrument cluster serves as a reminder for the due date of the next service
event.
Your vehicle will receive either the fixed service or flexible service for the oil change service,
depending on the vehicle equipment, the engine type and the operating conditions.

Observe the information on engine oil specifications according to VW standards ⇒ Engine oil .
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.
Service interval display
Scheduled services at Volkswagen are displayed in the service interval display in the instrument
cluster ⇒ Service interval display  or in the Vehicle settings menu in the Infotainment system
⇒ Vehicle settings menu . This service interval display provides information on services that include
an oil change or inspection. When an individual service is due, additional work that is due can also be
carried out, e.g. changing brake fluid and spark plugs.
