Electromagnetic radiation
If a mobile phone or two-way radio 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 can pose a health risk ⇒ .
With some equipment levels, a suitable mobile phone interface may be used to connect the mobile
telephone to the external aerial ⇒BookletInfotainment system,. The connection quality is improved
and the range is increased.
Using the telephone
Many countries require a hands-free system to be used when using a telephone inside the vehicle,
e.g. via a Bluetooth ® connection. Secure the mobile telephone to a suitable holder before using it ⇒
or stow it securely away in one of the stowage compartments provided, e.g. in the centre
console.
Use a compatible mobile phone if the mobile phone interface uses SIM Access Profile (rSAP)
technology. If the LTE mobile standard is supported, use a SIM card with LTE data option.
Radio communication
Observe any legal requirements and the manufacturer's owner's manual when using radio
communication devices. Two-way radios must be approved if they are to be retrofitted in the
vehicle.
Contact your Volkswagen dealership for further information on installing a two-way radio.
WARNING
Mobile telephones which are loosely placed in the vehicle or not properly secured could be flung
through the interior and cause injuries during a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the
event of an accident.

correctly installed.
