• Never carry a mobile phone that is switched on in the breast pocket directly over the pacemaker.• If you suspect there may be interference with a pacemaker or other medical device, switch the mobile phone off immediately.• The center armrest can interfere with the driver’s elbow movement and thus cause accidents and severe injuries.• Always keep the armrest closed while driving.CRUISE CONTROL• Using the cruise control when it is not possible to drive safely at a constantspeed can be dangerous and can lead to an accident and serious personalinjuries.• Never use cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic or when youcannot keep a safe distance between you and the vehicles ahead of you.Never use cruise control on steep, winding, or slippery roads (such as gravelroads, wet roads, or snowy or icy roads) or on roads with standing water.• Never use cruise control when driving off-road or on unpaved roads.• Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between you and thevehicles ahead of you to the road, traffic, weather, and visibility conditions.• To help prevent unintended operation of cruise control, switch the system offwhen it is not being used. It is dangerous to use the Resume feature when the previously set speed is too high for the existing road, traffic, or weather conditions.• When going downhill, the cruise control may not be able to maintain aconstant speed. The vehicle will speed up because of its own weight.Downshift and/or use the foot brake to slow the vehicle.• Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can causethe vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and seriouspersonal injury.• Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.• Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.FUELING • Improper refueling or handling of fuel is dangerous and can cause fire, explosion, and severe burns.• Always make sure that the fuel filler cap is screwed on all the way. This helps
keep fuel from spilling out or evaporating.• Fuel is highly flammable and explosive; it can cause severe burns and other severe injuries.• Failure to shut the engine off while refueling and/or to insert the pump nozzle all the way into the fuel filler neck can cause fuel to overflow and to spray out. Fuel spray and overflowing fuel are dangerous because they can cause fire and serious personal injury.• During refueling, the engine and the ignition must be switched off for safety reasons.• Never use a mobile telephone, CB radio, or other radio equipment while refueling. The electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.• Never get back into your vehicle while refueling. If in exceptional circumstances you must get back in your vehicle while refueling, make certain that you close the door and touch metal to discharge static electricity before touching the filler nozzle again. This helps avoid the build-up of static electricity, which can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors released during refueling.• Never smoke or have an open flame (or sparks, cigarettes, or other smoldering objects) anywhere in or near your vehicle when refueling or filling a portable fuel container.• Follow all safety instructions and procedures that apply at the service station where you refuel.• Never spill fuel in the vehicle or the luggage compartment.• Even if empty, portable fuel containers can leak and cause a fire and serious personal injuries, especially in a crash.• For your safety, we strongly recommend that you do not travel with a portable fuel container in your vehicle.• If, under exceptional circumstances, you must transport a portable fuel container, please observe the following:– Never fill a portable fuel container while it is anywhere in or on thevehicle (for example, in the luggage compartment or on top of theluggage compartment lid). Static electricity can build up while fillingand can ignite fuel vapors, causing a fire.– Always place a portable fuel container on the ground before filling.Never spill fuel inside the vehicle or luggage compartment. Fuelvapors are highly flammable.

• Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Speaking on or using a phone while driving can distract the driver from traffic.• Select the volume settings so that the acoustic signals from the outside are still audible (e.g. the sirens of emergency rescue vehicles). Obey all applicable legal requirements.• In areas without mobile network coverage or with poor mobile network coverage, as well as in some tunnels, garages and subways, phone conversations may be interrupted, and it may be impossible to make phone calls – even emergency calls.• In some countries and/or certain mobile networks, emergency calls may only be supported when the mobile phone is connected to a mobile phone package which has a SIM card which is “blocked” and/or has sufficient calling credit on it, and adequate network coverage.• A mobile phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places can be thrown around the inside of the vehicle during a sudden braking maneuver, crash or other accident and cause injury to vehicle occupants.• Never place or mount a mobile phone on doors, the windshield, on or near the area on the steering wheel marked “AIRBAG”, the instrument panel, the seat backrests or the areas between these points and the driver/passengers. Mobile phones can lead to serious injuries in cases of accidents, especially when the airbags are inflated.• Always switch off your mobile phone at gas stations or wherever there is a fire or explosion hazard. The electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.• The mobile phone will automatically connect to the mobile network when the Bluetooth
® connection to the mobile phone package is disconnected.
• Using a radio device in the vehicle without a connection to an external antenna might exceed electromagnetic radiation thresholds. This also applies if the outside antenna is not installed properly.• Always keep the cell phone antenna at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from pacemakers. Heart specialists advise that cell phones can adversely affect the way pacemakers work.Important Safety Instructions and Warnings

Never remove themand never disconnect them from the high-voltage electrical system.• Never open or remove the orange colored cover on the high-voltage battery.• Always have work on the hybrid electrical system and systems that could beindirectly affected by it done by qualified, trained technicians who have theknow how, experience, documentation, and tools to do the work safely.• All work on the high-voltage electrical system and the high-voltage batterymust be done in compliance with Volkswagen standards and guidelines.• Vehicle keys must be safely stored a safe distance from vehicle so that theignition cannot be switched on and energize the electrical system.• Gases vented or released from the high-voltage battery vapors arepotentially poisonous and can burn.• Physical damage to the vehicle or the high-voltage battery can result inimmediate or delayed release of poisonous gases that can also cause a fire.• Always avoid contact with leaking fluids and gases escaping from the battery, particularly one that has been damaged.• Always tell emergency responders that the vehicle has a high-voltage battery.• Driver distraction causes accidents and serious personal injury. Using theinstrument cluster or accessing Infotainment System menus while driving cantake your attention off the road and cause accidents.• To help reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, never change settings in the instrument cluster display or use Infotainment System functions unless thevehicle is standing still.• When powered by the electric motor, the vehicle makes much less noise, both when idling and driving, than when it is running on the internal combustion engine. It is much harder or even impossible for the drivers of other vehicles and above all for cyclists, pedestrians, and children to hear the vehicle when it is running on electrical power.
• Pedestrians and others can be struck and seriously injured because theycannot hear the vehicle and tell that it is getting close to them, for instancewhen you are parking, backing up, or driving in a low speed zone wherethere is likely to be pedestrian traffic.• Always watch out for pedestrians, especially small children, cyclists, andothers who may not hear the vehicle or realize that it is about to move or willcross their path of travel.• Always be especially careful in residential areas, school zones, and otherplaces where the speed of motor vehicles is restricted and pedestrians may beat greater risk.• Make sure the ignition and the hybrid drive system have both been turned off before leaving the vehicle.• Never leave the vehicle when READY is displayed in the instrument cluster orwhen hybrid drive system indicator lights are still lit. The vehicle can move ifthe accelerator is depressed even though the combustion engine has beenstopped. This can cause accidents and severe or fatal injuries.• Make sure the transmission is in Park (P) before you get out of the vehicle.• Never support the vehicle with cinder blocks, bricks, or other objects toinspect it. The vehicle could slip or move suddenly and cause an accident withserious personal injury.• Never let the hybrid battery get wet. Liquids and other fluids can cause shortcircuits, electrical shock, burns, and explosions.• Never carry large amounts of liquids or other fluids in the luggagecompartment.• Always make sure that any containers with liquids and other fluids areproperly secured and tightly closed to prevent leakage during normal drivingas well as hard cornering, braking, and other vehicle maneuvers. Leakingliquids can get into the cover of the high-voltage battery and the high-voltage cable connections. This can damage the electrical system and the high-voltage battery.• A parked vehicle that is not properly parked can roll away and cause accidents or severe injuries. When leaving the vehicle, always move theselector lever into Park (P) and engage the parking brake.• Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and seriouspersonal injury. • Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.• Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
– Always keep the filler nozzle completely inside the portable containerbefore and during filling.– If filling a portable container made of metal, the filler nozzle mustalways be in contact with the container. This will help prevent staticelectricity from discharging and causing a fire.– Always observe local and state or provincial laws about the use, storage,and transportation of portable fuel containers.– Make certain that the portable fuel container meets industry standards,such as ANSI/ASTM F852-86.• Driving with a fuel tank that is almost empty can lead to stalling in traffic, acollision, and serious personal injuries.• When the fuel tank is almost empty, fuel supply to the engine can beinterrupted, especially when driving over bumps, across slopes, and up anddown hills.• Steering and braking assistance as well as ESC and related systems will notwork if the engine “sputters” or stalls due to lack of fuel.• Always refuel when the tank is 1/4 full to reduce the risk of running out of fueland stalling in traffic.• Spilled fuel can cause fires, explosions, burns, and other severe injuries.• Always stop refueling once the pump nozzle switches off so that the tank doesnot overflow.• Improper refueling or handling of fuel can cause fire, explosion, and severeburns.• Fuel is highly explosive and flammable and can cause severe burns and otherinjuries.• Heed applicable safety warnings and obey local fuel handling regulations.• Always make sure the fuel cap is screwed on all the way. This keeps fuel fromspilling out and from evaporating.• For safety reasons, the engine must be turned off when refueling.• Starting fluids can explode and cause a run-away vehicle condition.• Never use starting assist fluids.HYBRID DRIVE• The vehicle’s high-voltage electrical system and high-voltage battery aredangerous and can cause burns, other serious personal injuries, electrocution,and death.• Always assume that high-voltage battery and parts of the high-voltage system

Always remember: even if the “snowflake symbol” is not displayed, therecould still be black ice on the road.• Never rely exclusively on the outside temperature display. KEYLESS ENTRY• Improper use of power locks can result in serious personal injury.• The power locking button locks all doors. Locking the doors from the insidecan help prevent unintended door opening during a collision and can alsoprevent unwanted entry from the outside. Locked doors can, however, delayassistance to vehicle occupants and rescue from the outside in an accident orother emergency.• Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in thevehicle. All doors can be locked from the inside with the power lock button.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 veryhigh or very low temperatures.• A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending on the season.Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in the passenger and luggagecompartment of a parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle thatare much higher than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quicklyreach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to smallchildren.• Never allow passengers to remain in a locked vehicle. In an emergency anyperson still inside the vehicle might not be able to get out.• A door kept open with the door stop may close in strong winds or on inclinesand cause injuries.• Always hold doors by the door handle while opening and closing.• A door that is not closed properly may open suddenly when the vehicle ismoving and cause severe injuries.• Stop immediately and close the door.• Make sure that the door is safely and completely latched when closed. Theclosed door must be flush with the surrounding auto body parts.• Open or close doors only if no one is in the way.NAVIGATION & INFOTAINMENT• Driving recommendations and traffic signs displayed in the navigation system may differ from the actual traffic situation.• Traffic signs and regulations take precedence over navigation driving recommendations and displays.• Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility conditions.• Inserting data media while driving can distract the driver from traffic and lead to accidents.• Always drive attentively and responsibly.PREMIUM VIII AUDIO• Driver distraction can cause accidents and serious personal injury. Operating the radio navigation system while driving can distract the driver from traffic situations.• Always drive attentively and responsibly.• Select volume settings so that acoustic signals from the outside are audible
HYBRID FUNCTIONS & MODES• Rapid acceleration can cause loss of traction and skidding, particularly onslippery roads. This can cause you to lose control of the vehicle, which canlead to accidents and serious injuries.• Always adjust your driving style in accordance with the flow of traffic.• Only use kick down or fast acceleration if permitted by visibility, weather,road and traffic conditions, and if other road users are not put at risk due tothe acceleration and the driving style.• The high-voltage hybrid electrical system is dangerous and can cause burns,other serious personal injuries, electrocution and death.• Never open, service, repair, or disconnect the high-voltage hybrid battery.• Never touch or let jewelry or other metal objects contact high-voltage cablesor the high-voltage battery and battery poles, especially if the cables, battery,or battery poles have been damaged in a crash or in some other way.• Always have work on the hybrid electrical system and on systems that couldbe indirectly affected by it done by qualified, trained technicians, who havethe know how, experience, documentation, and tools to do the work safely.• Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can causethe vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and seriouspersonal injury.• Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.• Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.HYBRID INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM• Driving on today’s roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times.Driver distraction causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!• Never let yourself be distracted when setting, adjusting, or using theInfotainment System, when using your mobile phone, or when operating themobile phone controls.• Always drive attentively and responsibly. Use the Infotainment system, yourmobile phone, and the mobile phone controls only if road, traffic, andweather conditions permit and you will not be distracted from your driving.• If you cannot use the Infotainment System, your mobile phone, or the mobilephone controls safely while driving, wait until later or find a safe spot whereyou can pull off the road and park the vehicle.• Always set sound volume levels so that you can clearly hear horns, sirens, and other warning sounds outside the vehicle.

External devices can cause serious injury in the event of an accident, especially if the airbags inflate.• The center armrest can interfere with the driver’s elbow movement and thus cause accidents and severe injuries.• Always keep the armrest closed while driving.• Invisible laser beams can cause injuries if the housing of the CD player is opened.• Have the CD player repaired only by a specialist.TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)• Incorrect tire pressures and/or under inflation can cause sudden tire failure,loss of control, collision, serious personal injury or even death.• When the warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster, stop and inspect the tires.• Incorrect tire pressure and/or under inflation can cause increased tire wearand can affect the handling of the vehicle and stopping ability.• Incorrect tire pressures and/or under inflation can also lead to sudden tirefailure, including a blowout and sudden deflation, causing loss of vehiclecontrol.• The driver is responsible for the correct tire pressures for all tires on thevehicle. The recommended tire pressure values are listed on a sticker insidethe driver door.• Always maintain correct cold tire inflation pressure so that TPMS can do itsjob.• Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct tire pressure beforedriving off.• Driving with underinflated tires causes them to flex (bend) more, letting them get too hot, resulting in tread separation, sudden tire failure, and loss ofcontrol.• Excessive speed and/overloading can cause heat buildup, sudden tire failureand loss of control.• If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tires will wear prematurely andthe vehicle will not handle well.
• If the tire is not “flat” and you do not have to change a wheel immediately,drive carefully and at reduced speed to the nearest service station to checkthe tire pressure and add air as required.• When replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with TPMS alwaysread and heed the information and all WARNINGS.• When the warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster, stop the vehicleas soon as it is safe to do so and inspect all tires.• The TPMS can only work correctly when all tires on the vehicle are filled to the correct cold tire inflation pressure. Always maintain the correct cold tireinflation pressure so that TPMS can do its job.• Using incorrect tire pressure values can cause accidents or other damage.Check the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold. Never reduce airpressure in warm tires to match cold tire inflation pressure.• Always inflate the tires to the correct specified cold tire pressure values for the tires installed on the vehicle; see the tire inflation pressure label on the driver door jamb.• The Tire Pressure Monitoring System must be recalibrated using the SETbutton whenever you remove and remount or change any wheel or tire on thevehicle, even if the reinstalled or replacement wheels and tires are identical tothose that were removed and even if the tire pressure does not change. • Improper use of the SET button can cause the TPMS to give false warnings or to give no warning despite dangerously low tire pressure. Make certain thetire inflation pressure of all tires is correct before using the SET button.• Incorrect tire pressure can cause sudden tire failure, loss of vehicle controland serious personal injury.• Always check and correct air pressure in all 4 tires, particularly afterchanging, exchanging, or repairing tires.• After that, always make sure that all 4 tires are inflated to the correct tirepressure for the tires installed on the vehicle. Then push the SET button for theTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) so that it can properly monitor thepressure in the tires.• Press and hold the SET button until the confirmation chime sounds. Hold theSET button for at least 2 seconds, but not more than 30 seconds.• See the tire pressure label, Tire inflation pressure and the Owner’s Literaturefor recommended cold tire inflation pressure and other important information.
