airbag VOLKSWAGEN CC 2012 Owner's Guide

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.
Using a mobile phone without a vehicle-integrated antenna -
some important things to know

charged. You might also experience more dropped calls and an over-
all impaired quality of the connection.
Therefore we strongly recommend that you use your mobile tele-
phone in your vehicle only when it is properly attached to an appro-
priate cradle mounted on a base plate on the instrument panel.
Because of the large number and variety of mobile telephones on the
market and the frequency with which new models are introduced,
Volkswagen does not offer cradles for mobile telephones. Please
check with the manufacturer of the mobile telephone that you plan to
use.

WARNING
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, a crash or other accident and injure vehicle
occupants.
Never place or attach accessories or other objects (such as
cup holders, telephone brackets, note pads, navigation sys-
tems, large, heavy or bulky objects) on the doors, on the wind-
shield, over or near the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, backrests or between these areas and
the occupant. Such objects could cause serious injury in a col-
lision, especially if an airbag inflates.
