Government regulations in the United States and Canada require that
automobiles meet specific emission regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles built for the U.S. and Canada differ from vehicles
sold in other countries.
If you plan to take your vehicle outside the continental limits of the
United States or Canada, there is the possibility that:
Unleaded fuels for vehicles with catalytic converters may not be
available.
Fuel may have a considerably lower octane rating and may cause
engine damage.
Service may be inadequate due to lack of proper service facilities,
tools or testing equipment.
Replacement parts may not be readily available.
DVD navigation systems for vehicles built for the United States and
Canada will not necessarily work in Europe, and may not work in oth-
er countries outside of North America.
NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for mechanical damage that may
result from substandard fuel or service or the unavailability of
Genuine Volkswagen parts.
Volkswagen is not responsible if the vehicle does not meet the
respective legal requirements in other countries and continents.

other chemicals. Do not place any stickers on the windshield-
integrated antenna and never clean the antenna with corrosive
or acidic cleaning agents or other chemicals.
Operating electrical devices near the integrated windshield an-
tenna may interfere with AM radio reception.
