VEHICLE LITERATURE
In the vehicle wallet you will find, in addition
to this
Instruction
manual,
a Service Schedule and a Service address
list.
Also
depending on vehicle model and equip ment there can be various Supplements
(e.g.
for car radio, Multivan or Camper).
If one of these publications appears to be
missing
or you have the impression
that
the
information on some equipment or model
version is not complete, please contact your
Volkswagen
dealer. He will be pleased to help you.
You
can naturally also get in touch direct
with
our Service Department or
with
the Im porter in your country. The telephone numbers and addresses are to be found in
the Service address list.
The
Instruction
Manual
should be read carefully as soon as possible
so
that
you get to know your vehicle quickly.
Your
special attention is drawn to the
chapter "Driving tips" in this instruction
manual.
There you will see how you can
drive
safely,
economically
and envi
ronment
consciously.
For
safety
reasons
please
note
also
the
information
on Accessories,
modifications
and the
renewal
of
parts
on
page
117.
The other chapters are of course also im portant because the correct operation of the
vehicle serves - in addition to regular care
and maintenance - to maintain the value of
the vehicle and is, in many
cases,
also one of the stipulations for upholding warranty
claims.
At the end of this manual we have made a list of the checks which you should carry out
regularly to keep your vehicle roadworthy at
all times.
The Service Schedule
contains
- identification data for your car - the Service intervals
- the Service operations
- important details about Warranty
Service
work which has been carried out is
also
confirmed in the Service
Schedule.
This
can
be important when a claim is made under Warranty.
Your
should always present the Service
Schedule
when taking the vehicle to
a
Volks
wagen dealer.
The Service address
list
contains
- addresses and telephone numbers of
Volkswagen
dealers in Europe and over
seas.
- important information on the Volks wagen dealer emergency services
Notes

layout
of

Manual:

colour
backing

title
"At
tention"
refer
to
potential
acci
dent
or
injury
risks.

this
symbol
and
printed
in

important
notes
on
environmental
protection.
One
final
request:
When you sell your car please give the com plete Vehicle Wallet to the new owner be
cause
the vehicle literature belongs to the
vehicle.
