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.

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.

Introduction
Recycling end-of-life vehicles
Volkswagen has already made provision for you to recycle your vehicle in an environmentally-
friendly manner. The recycling system operating in many European countries will take back your
vehicle at the end of its useful life. Once the vehicle has been recycled, a certificate of destruction
will be issued to show that the vehicle has been disposed of correctly.
End-of-life vehicles are recycled free of charge, provided that national legislation is complied with.
Further information on the recycling of end-of-life vehicles can be found at a Volkswagen
dealership.
Scrapping
