If a mobile telephone is used in the vehicle interior without this hands-free system, it is not safely
secured in the vehicle and also not connected to the vehicle's external telephone aerial.
Furthermore, the mobile telephone is not being charged in the telephone holder. It is also likely that
the telephone connection will be disrupted and the signal strength will be poor.
A mobile telephone should only be used in the vehicle if it is connected to a hands-free unit.
Volkswagen recommends the use of an external aerial when using a mobile telephone in the
vehicle.

®®
If a mobile telephone is not secured or is incorrectly secured in the vehicle, it could be flung
though the interior during a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an
accident. This can cause injuries.
•Mobile telephones, other devices and accessories for the telephone such as telephone
holders, note blocks or portable navigation devices must always be secured properly
outside of the airbag deployment zones whilst the vehicle is in motion or be stored in a
safe place.
WARNING
If mobile telephones or two-way radios that are not connected to an external aerial are used,
electromagnetic radiation in the vehicle could exceed limit values and thus be a health hazard
for drivers and other vehicle occupants. This also applies to external aerials that have not
been correctly installed.
•Keep mobile telephone aerials at least 20 cm away from pacemakers, as the telephones
may affect their functioning.
•Do not carry a mobile telephone in your breast pocket above a pacemaker when the
telephone is switched on or in standby mode.

times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
•Setting the volume too high may damage your hearing. This also applies even if you are
only exposed to high volumes for short periods.
WARNING
Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the navigation system may differ
from the current traffic situation.
•Traffic signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and displays
provided by the navigation system.
•Adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
WARNING
Information stickers and plates
Fig. 139 Warnings for using the laser sensor in the city emergency brake function
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Safety certificates, stickers and plates showing important vehicle operation information are factory-
fitted in the engine compartment and on certain parts such as the tank flap, front passenger sun
visor, the driver door pillar or in the luggage compartment floor.
•Never remove or damage the safety certificates, stickers and plates. They must remain legible
at all times.
•If vehicle parts bearing safety certificates, stickers or plates are removed from the vehicle,
replacement safety certificates, stickers or plates with the same information must be applied
properly to the new parts by the qualified workshop.
Safety certificate
A safety certificate on the door pillar of the driver door provides the information that all necessary
safety standards and specifications of the transport safety authorities of the individual country have
been met at the time of production. The month and year of production and the chassis number may
also be listed.
High voltage warning sticker
There is a sticker near the bonnet lock showing a warning about the high voltage in the vehicle's
electrical system.
Warning for using the laser sensor in the City emergency brake function
The signs with warnings and information for using the laser sensor of the city emergency brake
function can be seen ⇒ Fig. 139.
Using the vehicle in other countries and continents
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The vehicle has been manufactured specifically for a particular country and complies with the
registration regulations that applied in that country at the time of vehicle production.
If the vehicle is to be sold in another country or used in another country for an extended period, the
legal requirements applicable in that country must be observed.
In some cases, certain equipment will have to be fitted or removed and functions deactivated. The
scope and type of service available may also be affected. This is particularly important if the vehicle
is driven in another climate for a long period of time.
Because different frequency bands are used in different countries, the factory-fitted radio or the
portable navigation device (delivered by Volkswagen) may not work in other countries.
Radio reception and aerials
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The aerial for radio signal reception is fitted on the vehicle roof for factory-fitted radio units.
Interference with AM radio reception could occur if electric devices, e.g. mobile telephones,
are used in the vicinity of the roof aerial.
•Volkswagen is not responsible for any vehicle damage caused by low-quality fuel,
inadequate servicing work or lack of Genuine Parts.
•Volkswagen cannot be held responsible if the vehicle does not comply with or only partly
complies with the relevant legal requirements in other countries and continents.
