system. English is used if this language is not available at the location of the emergency.
Back-up 112 emergency call service
In some cases, the Emergency call service may be restricted or unavailable so the general
emergency call number 112 is used to conduct an emergency call. In this case, only a voice-based
connection is established. No data will be transmitted, e.g. regarding the vehicle or its location.
The following circumstances may restrict access to the Emergency call service and lead to the call
being forwarded to the 112 emergency number:
•Your current emergency call location is in an area with no or insufficient mobile communications
and GPS reception. This can also include tunnels, streets with tall buildings, garages,
underpasses, mountains and valleys.
•You are in an area with sufficient mobile communications and GPS reception but the
telecommunications provider's mobile network is not available.
•The Emergency call service is prohibited by law in some countries.
•There is no valid licence for using the Emergency call service.
•The components in the vehicle required for the Emergency call service are damaged or do not
have a sufficient power supply.

include refrigerator boxes, laptops and ventilator fans.
Repairs and technical modifications
Repairs and technical modifications must always be carried out according to Volkswagen
specifications⇒.
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic components or software in the vehicle may cause
malfunctions. As the electronic components are linked together in networks, these faults may
indirectly affect the working of other systems. This can seriously impair safety, lead to excessive
wear of components, and also invalidate the type approval for the vehicle.
The Volkswagen dealership cannot be held liable for any damage caused by technical
modifications and/or work performed incorrectly.
The Volkswagen dealership is not responsible for damage caused by technical modifications and/or
work performed incorrectly. Such damage is not covered by the Volkswagen guarantee.
Volkswagen recommends that all repairs and technical modifications be performed by an
authorised Volkswagen workshop using Volkswagen Genuine Parts.

Vehicles with special auxiliary equipment or body parts
The manufacturer of these components must ensure that these parts (fittingsyfDGKHUHWRWKH
stipulated environmental laws and regulations, particularly the EU directive 2000/53/EC concerning
end-of-life vehicles and EU directive 2003/11/EC concerning the restriction on the marketing and
use of certain dangerous substances and preparations.
The vehicle owner should keep all assembly documentation for these auxiliary fittings, and pass it
on to any scrapping company later engaged. This is to facilitate environmentally responsible
disposal for all vehicles, including refitted 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 functional 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
Incorrect repairs, retrofit structural modifications to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the body, add-on parts
on the vehicle or trailer ⇒ Trailer towing, or changes to the trim may lead to the sensors or
cameras being disrupted or damaged. This can also be caused by collisions, e.g. when parking.
Failure to observe this may impair important functions (driver assist systemsyfDQGGDPDJHWKH
vehicle.
The area in front of and around the sensors and cameras must not be covered by stickers,
additional headlights, trim frames for number plates or similar.
Incorrectly performed repairs or modifications to your vehicle can impair the effectiveness
of the airbags, cause malfunctions, accidents and fatal injury.
•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.
•Objects either on or next to the airbag module covers or are in the deployment zone of
the airbags can cause serious or even fatal injuries should the airbags be activated.
