⇒ Safety belts.

Only transport as many passengers as there are seats and safety

belts available.

Never drive if your driving ability has been impaired, for example,

by medication, alcohol, or illegal drugs.

Never let passengers or phone calls distract you while driving and

never take your attention off the road while using vehicle software
or adjusting vehicle equipment or accessories.

Always adapt your speed and driving style to visibility, weather,

road, and traffic conditions.

between arriving safely at your destination and being seriously
injured in a crash or other kind of accident.

Regular service and maintenance of your vehicle is important

both for operational and driving safety and to help prolong your vehi-
cle's service life. Always follow the scheduled maintenance intervals
in the

⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance, especially for changing

the brake fluid. Hard use, frequent stop-and-go driving, driving in very
dusty areas, trailer towing, and other factors may make it necessary
to have the vehicle serviced more frequently. Ask an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for
more information.

Driving in other countries

Please first read and note the introductory information and

heed the WARNINGS

Checklist
Some countries have special safety standards and emissions re-
quirements that your vehicle may not meet. Before taking your vehicle
to another country, Volkswagen therefore recommends that you ask
your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Ser-
vice Facility about the following issues with regard to the country to
which you would like to travel:

Should the vehicle be technically prepared for the trip abroad, such

as masking or adjusting headlights?

Are maintenance, repair facilities, necessary tools and testing

equipment as well as spare parts readily available for your vehicle?

Are there authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized

Volkswagen Service Facilities in the countries where you will be
driving?

For gasoline engines: Is unleaded fuel with the right octane rating

readily available?

Are engine oil (

⇒ Engine oil) and other operating fluids that meet

Volkswagen quality and performance requirements available where
you will be driving? For more information, please see
⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance.

Does the factory-installed navigation system work in the countries

where you will be driving, and is navigation data available?

Are special or heavy-duty tires necessary for the kind of driving

expected?

NOTICE

Volkswagen is not responsible for mechanical damage that may
result from substandard fuel or service or the unavailability of
Genuine Volkswagen parts.

Driving through water on roads

Please first read and note the introductory information and

heed the WARNINGS

Note the following to help prevent vehicle damage when driving
through water, for example on flooded roads:

Check the depth of the water before driving through it. The water

must not be any higher than the bottom of the vehicle body

⇒ .

Do not drive faster than walking speed.
Never stop the vehicle, and do not drive in reverse or switch the

engine off when driving through water.

Oncoming vehicles may create waves that raise the water level and

make it too deep for your vehicle to drive through safely.

WARNING

After driving through water, mud, sludge, etc., the brakes react
slower and need longer stopping distances.

Always dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a

few careful applications of the brake. Make sure not to endan-
ger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.

Avoid abrupt or sudden braking maneuvers immediately after

driving through water.

NOTICE

Vehicle components such as the engine, transmission, sus-

pension or electrical system may be severely damaged by driv-
ing through water.

Never drive through salt water. Salt causes vehicle corrosion.

Thoroughly rinse with fresh water all vehicle parts that were ex-
posed to salt water.

DANGER

20 mm button cells and other lithium batteries will cause seri-
ous personal injury and even death within a short time if swal-
lowed.

Always keep remote control vehicle key fobs with batteries,

spare batteries, as well as dead button cell and larger 20 mm
batteries out of the reach of children.

Get medical attention immediately if you suspect that a bat-

tery has been swallowed.

WARNING

Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal in-
jury.

Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. It

can be used to start the engine and operate vehicle systems
such as the power windows, leading to serious personal injury.
Children or other unauthorized persons could also lock the
doors and the luggage compartment.

Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-

not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key. This could leave people
trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time
of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.

A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-

ing on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in
the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher
than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly
to small children.

Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehi-

cle is moving or rolling to a stop. The steering wheel will lock
and you will not be able to steer or control the vehicle.

Remote control vehicle keys

distance

⇒ Power locking and closing system.

The remote transmitter and battery are inside the remote control ve-
hicle key. The receiver is inside the passenger compartment. The
operating range of the remote control vehicle key for a fresh battery is
several yards (meters) around the vehicle.
If the remote control vehicle key will not lock or unlock your vehicle,
you probably need to replace the battery in the remote control vehicle
key

⇒ Replacing the remote control vehicle key battery. If this is not

the problem, the key should be resynchronized by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer, an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or
another qualified workshop. See also

Replacement vehicle keys
The vehicle identification number is required to get a replacement key
or an additional remote control vehicle key.
Depending on the model, up to 8 vehicle keys, each of which must be
properly cut, coded, programmed, and synchronized, can be used
with your vehicle.
Each new vehicle key contains a microchip and must be coded with
the data from the vehicle's electronic immobilizer. A vehicle key will
not work if it does not contain a microchip or contains a chip that is
not coded, even if the key bit was cut correctly.

You can obtain additional or duplicate remote control vehicle keys
from authorized Volkswagen dealers, authorized Volkswagen Service
Facilities, and from certain independent repair facilities and lock-
smiths which are qualified to make remote control vehicle keys.
Each vehicle key must be programmed by an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility in order for it to
work with your vehicle.
To find the nearest qualified independent repair facility, locksmith, or
Volkswagen dealer which can cut and code replacement vehicle
keys, call the VW Customer Care Hotline at 1-800-822-8987 or visit
http://www.vw.com and search for “replacement keys.”
Canadian customers can contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or
Volkswagen Service Facility or call the Volkswagen Canada Custom-
er CARE Center at 1-800-822-8987.

NOTICE

The remote control vehicle keys contain electrical components.
Protect them from damage, moisture and rough handling.

Do not press the buttons on the remote control vehicle key unless

you actually want to use the function in question. Since terrain and
conditions vary, pressing a button on the remote control vehicle key
when it is not necessary may unlock the vehicle or set off the panic
alarm, even if you think you are out of range.

Remote control vehicle key functions can be temporarily disrupt-

ed by interference from transmitters near the vehicle that use the
same frequency range (such as radio equipment or mobile phones).

Things between the remote control vehicle key and vehicle, bad

weather, as well as a weak battery can reduce the operating range.

If the remote control vehicle key buttons

pushed repeatedly in quick succession, the power locking system is
switched off for a brief period to help keep it from being overloaded.

the luggage compartment lid is opened in this span of time, the vehi-
cle is automatically locked afterwards.
