⇒ Check after driving for 10 minutes  
The breakdown set can be used to temporarily and reliably seal any tyre damage caused by foreign 
bodies or punctures (up to approx. 4 mm in diameter). Do not remove foreign objects (e.g. screws or 
nails) from the tyre! 
Once the sealant has been added to the tyre, the tyre pressure must be checked and adjusted again 
after approximately 10 minutes of driving. 
Seek expert assistance if more than one of the vehicle's tyres is damaged. The breakdown set is 
designed to fill only one tyre. 
Only use the breakdown set when the vehicle has been safely parked and you are familiar with the 
work and safety precautions needed. Seek expert assistance if this is not the case.

Vehicles with special body equipment or add-on parts 
The manufacturers of body equipment and add-on parts must ensure that the body equipment and 
add-on parts (conversions) adhere to the applicable environmental laws and regulations, particularly 
the EU directive 2000/53/EC concerning end-of-life vehicles and EU directive 2003/11/EC concerning 
the restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations. 
The vehicle owner should keep all assembly documentation for these conversions, and pass it on to 
the disassembly company upon vehicle handover if the vehicle is scrapped. This is designed to 
facilitate environmentally friendly disposal for all vehicles, including converted vehicles. 
Windscreen repairs 
To function properly, some items of equipment require an electrical or electronic module, which is 
located on the inside of the windscreen near the interior mirror. If the windscreen has been 
damaged in the viewing field of the electrical or electronic module, e.g. by stone impact, the 
windscreen must be replaced. Repairing the crack can lead to malfunctions or faults in the 
equipment. 
After changing the windscreen, the camera and sensors must be set up and calibrated by a qualified 
workshop. 
Impairment or damage to sensors and cameras 
Incorrectly performed repairs, structural changes to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the suspension, 
retrofitted add-on parts or changes to the trim can lead to sensors and cameras being displaced or 
damaged. This can also be caused by collisions, e.g. when parking, or also even by minor damage, 
e.g. stone impacts on the windscreen. 
Failure to observe this point may impair important functions (driver assist systems) and damage the 
vehicle.

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
