Driving tips
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Preparing for a journey and driving safely
⇒ Driving abroad
⇒ Driving through water on roads
Depending on where the vehicle is used, it may be advisable to have an engine and transmission 
guard installed. An engine and transmission guard can reduce the risk of damage to the vehicle's 
underbody and engine oil sump, for example when driving over kerbs, driveways or unsurfaced 
roads. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
