manufacturer's instructions.
Only use approved or recommended cleaners.
NOTICE
Vehicle care products containing solvents can damage plastics
and other vehicle the materials.
Wash the vehicle only at specifically designated wash locations
to help prevent water contaminated with oil, grease and fuel from en-
tering the storm drain sewer system. In some areas it is against the
law to wash motor vehicles anywhere than other than at specified
designated car washing locations.

NOTICE
To help prevent vehicle damage in a car wash:
Compare the vehicle track width with the dimensions of the
guide rails in the car wash to help prevent damage to wheel rims
and tires!
Switch off the rain sensor before driving the vehicle through a
car wash ⇒  Rain sensor.
Make sure there is enough clearance for the height and width
of the vehicle.
To help prevent paint damage to the engine hood, place wiper
blades against the windshield after they have dried. Do not let
them snap back into place.
Fold the outside mirrors toward the vehicle body. Do not fold
power folding mirrors manually!
Lock the luggage compartment lid to help prevent uninten-
tional opening in the car wash.

Changing wiper blades
Lift the wiper arm(s) away from the windshield.
Press and hold the release button ⇒ fig. 172 (1).
While lifting the wiper blade in the direction of the wiper arm, pull
off the wiper blade in the direction of the arrow. This may require
moderate force.
Install a new wiper blade of same length and type onto the wiper
arm by pushing in the opposite direction of the arrow until it latches.
Carefully fold the wiper arm back down onto the windshield.
WARNING
Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the
risk of accidents and severe injuries.
Always change wiper blades if they are damaged or worn,
and if they cannot clean the windows sufficiently.

Engine life is influenced by how you drive the vehicle for the first
1000 miles (1600 km). Even afterwards, driving at moderate engine
speeds, especially when the engine is cold, will tend to reduce engine
wear and help the engine to last longer and go farther. But do not
drive at an excessively low engine speed, either. Always downshift if
the engine is not running smoothly. For the first 600 miles
(1000 km):
Do not use full throttle.
Don't let the engine speed get above 2/3 the maximum speed.
Do not tow a trailer.
From 600 to 1000 miles (1000 to 1600 km): Speed may gradually
be increased to maximum permissible road and engine speed.
New tires and brake pads

Brakes ⇒  About the brakes
Breaking in a new engine gently will increase service life and
reduce oil consumption.

NOTICE
Only refill with suitable operating fluids. When changing or
topping off fluids, make sure that you pour the fluids into the
correct reservoirs. Adding incorrect fluids will cause serious
malfunctions and engine damage! Under no circumstances
should you mix up operating fluids. Otherwise serious malfunc-
tions and engine damage can occur!
Accessories and other things installed in front of the cooling
air intakes impair the efficiency of the engine coolant. The en-
gine can overheat under high outside temperatures or under
high engine loads!
Leaking operating fluids can pollute the environment. Collect
leaking operating fluids in suitable containers and dispose of them
properly in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regu-
lations.

Some state laws restrict the retrieval or downloading of data stored by
EDRs installed in a vehicle for the express purpose of retrieving data
after an accident or crash event without the owner's consent.
Volkswagen will not access the EDR and/or similar data or give it to
others - unless the vehicle owner (or lessee if the vehicle has been
leased) agrees, or;
upon the official request by the police;
upon the order of a court of law or a government agency; or
for the defense of a lawsuit through the judicial discovery process.
Volkswagen may also use the data for research about vehicle opera-
tion and safety performance or provide the data to a third party for
research purposes without identifying the specific vehicle or infor-
mation about the identity of its owner or lessee.
NOTE: Your vehicle may be equipped with Volkswagen Car-Net.
Please see the Volkswagen Car-Net Terms of Service and Privacy
Policy at (http:// www.vw.com/carnet) for details regarding how
Volkswagen collects, processes, transmits, uses and shares infor-
mation obtained through the Volkswagen Car-Net equipment and
service.
Your vehicle is also equipped with a number of electronic control
modules for various vehicle systems, such as engine management,
emission control, airbags, and safety belts.
These electronic control modules record data during normal vehicle
operation that may be needed by trained technicians for diagnostic
and repair purposes. The recording capability of these modules is
limited to data (no sound is recorded). Only a small amount of data is
actually recorded over a very limited period of time, or stored when a
system fault is detected by a control module. Some of the data stored
may relate to vehicle speed, direction, or braking, as well as restraint
system use and performance in the event of a crash. Stored data can
also only be read and downloaded with special equipment that is di-
rectly connected to the vehicle.

some important things to know

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.
