of someone drinking from such contain-
ers, even if they are labelled appropri-
ately.
x Brake fluid must always be stored in its
original sealed container and kept out of
the reach of children. NOTICE
Brake fluid that has leaked or been spilt can
damage the v
ehicle paintwork, plastic parts
and tyres. Wipe off brake fluid that has
leaked or been spilled immediately from all
parts of the vehicle. Brake fluid can pollute the environ-
ment. Any spilt service fluids must be
cleaned up and disposed of properly. 12-volt vehicle battery
Introduction to the topic
The 12-
volt vehicle battery is a component of
the electrical system and in event of the
high-voltage system failing, supplies the
safety-relevant systems of the vehicle with
energy. In the scope of maintenance work,
the 12-volt vehicle battery is checked and
where required, replaced.
You should only carry out work on the electri-
cal system if you know exactly how to per-
form the required tasks, are aware of the
general safety procedures and have access to
the correct equipment, service fluids and
suitable tools. Failing to carry out work cor-
rectly can cause serious injuries

of parts
Accessories and parts
V olkswagen recommends that you seek ad-
vice from a Volkswagen dealership before
purchasing accessories, replacement parts or
service fluids, for example if the vehicle is to
be retrofitted with accessories or if parts
have to be renewed. Volkswagen dealerships
can recommend accessories, parts and serv-
ice fluids suitable for your requirements. They
can also answer any questions you might
have regarding official regulations.
Volkswagen recommends that you use only
approved Volkswagen accessories and Volks-
wagen Genuine Parts

Vehicles with special auxiliary equipment or
body parts
Auxiliary equipment and second stage manu-
facturers must ensure that the equipment
and bodies (conversions) adhere to the stipu-
lated environmental laws and regulations,
particularly the EU directive 2000/53/EC con-
cerning end-of-life vehicles and EU directive
2003/11/EC concerning the restriction on the
marketing and use of certain dangerous sub-
stances and preparations.
The vehicle owner must keep all assembly
documentation for these conversions and
pass it on to the scrapping company upon ve-
hicle handover if the vehicle is scrapped. This
is intended to facilitate environmentally re-
sponsible disposal for all vehicles, including
refitted vehicles.
Windscreen repairs
To function properly, some items of equip-
ment require an electrical or electronic mod-
ule, which is located on the inside of the
windscreen near the interior mirror. If the
windscreen has been damaged in the viewing
field of the electrical or electronic module,
e.g. by stone impact, the windscreen must be
replaced. Repairing the crack can lead to mal-
function or functional faults in the equip-
ment. After changing the windscreen, the camera
and sensors must be adjusted and calibrated
by a qualified workshop.
Impairment or damage to sensors and cam-
eras
Incorrectly perf
ormed repairs, structural
changes to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the sus-
pension, retrofitted add-on parts or changes
to the trim can lead to sensors and cameras
being displaced or damaged. This can also be
caused by collisions when parking, or also
even by minor damage such as stone impacts
on the windscreen.
The area in front of and around the sensors
and cameras must not be covered by stickers,
additional headlights, trim frames for number
plates or similar. Observe the position of sen-
sors and cameras on the vehicle

with the vehicle identification number. The
data can be read from the v ehicle by employ-
ees of the service network, e.g. workshops, or
third parties, e.g. breakdown services. The
same applies to warranty cases and quality
assurance measures.
The data is read using the legally required
OBD interface (“On Board Diagnosis”) in the
vehicle

cle do not interact in any other ways than
those described here, in particular the de
vice
does not actively access vehicle data. The
type of further data processing depends on
the app provider. The settings that you can
adjust here depend on the app in question
and the operating system on your mobile de-
vice.
Online services
If your vehicle is equipped with a connection
to a mobile network, your vehicle will be able
to exchange data with other systems. The ve-
hicle can be connected to a mobile network
using a transmitter and receiver unit in the
vehicle or using your own mobile device. This
mobile network connection enables you to
use online functions. This includes online
services and apps provided by Volkswagen or
other third-party providers.
Manufacturer services
In the case of Volkswagen online services,
Volkswagen describes the respective func-
tions in a suitable place, e.g. in a separate
service description or on an Internet page,
and the associated privacy information is
provided. Personal data may be required in
order to provide online services. For this, data
is exchanged over a secure connection, e.g.
using the designated IT systems of the manu-
facturer. Any collection, processing and use
of personal data that goes beyond the provi-
sion of the service takes place exclusively ac-
cording to legal regulations, contractual
agreements or the necessary permission.
You can activate and deactivate the services
and functions, some of which are subject to
a fee and in some cases also disable the vehi-
cle
