Accessories and replacement parts
Volkswagen recommends that you seek advice from a Volkswagen dealership before purchasing
accessories, replacement parts or servicing materials, e.g. if the vehicle is to be retrofitted with
accessories or if parts need to be replaced. Volkswagen dealerships can recommend accessories,
replacement parts and service fluids suitable for your requirements. They can also provide
information regarding official regulations.
Volkswagen recommends that you use only approved Volkswagen accessories and Volkswagen

the country in which the vehicle was sold. Please ask your Volkswagen dealership for further
information.
The selling Volkswagen dealership will issue a comprehensive LongLife mobility guarantee for every
new vehicle which applies from the time of delivery until the first due inspection. If you purchase
your new vehicle directly from Volkswagen AG, Volkswagen AG will issue the LongLife mobility
guarantee from the time of delivery until the first due inspection.
Your Volkswagen dealership will extend the LongLife mobility guarantee until the following
inspection when the due inspection is carried out by the dealership. The service costs include the
entire guarantee package.
The comprehensive LongLife mobility guarantee includes the following services:
If your vehicle can no longer be driven due to a technical defect1), corresponding assistance will be
provided in the case of breakdown or accident. The LongLife mobility guarantee provides with you
protection and mobility.
The inspection is not only about car maintenance - it also ensures that your car remains roadworthy
and in perfect working order. For this reason, servicing should be carried out regularly in accordance
with the manufacturer's specifications.
Your entitlement to the LongLife mobility guarantee is documented in the digital service schedule
each time your car is serviced. A full service history shows that your car has been professionally
maintained and cared for.
1) A vehicle which can no longer be driven is a vehicle which cannot reach a workshop under its own
power.
Data storage and services
Your vehicle is fitted with electronic control units. Some of these are required to make sure your
vehicle remains safe while others provide support while driving (driver assist systems). Furthermore,
your vehicle is equipped with convenience and Infotainment functions, which are also made possible
using electronic control units.
Electronic control units contain data memories which can store information regarding the vehicle
status, component load levels, servicing requirements, technical events and faults on a temporary or
permanent basis. This information generally documents the status of a component, a module, a
system or the environment, e.g.:
. filling levels, tyre pressure, battery status.
deceleration, lateral acceleration, display of fastened seat belts.
tem components, e.g. lights, brakes.

stability control systems.

e.g. temperature, rain.
As well as performing the actual control functions, these data are also used to detect and rectify
faults and help Volkswagen to improve vehicle functions. The majority of these data are temporary
and are only processed within the vehicle itself. Only a very small amount of data is stored in the
event memories or possibly on the vehicle key.
Reading out the vehicle's event memory
There is a diagnostic interface in the vehicle interior for reading out the event memories (on-board
diagnosis)
If you have service work performed on your vehicle, the technical data can be read out of the vehicle
together with the vehicle identification number by service employees, e.g. workshops, or third
parties such as breakdown services. Service work includes, for example, repairs, maintenance,
warranty work or quality assurance measures. The service workshop or third party collects,
processes and uses the data. The data document the vehicle's technical status, help in
troubleshooting and in improving quality and may be sent to Volkswagen in some cases.
Furthermore, the manufacturer is subject to legal product safety requirements. To make sure it
complies with these requirements, the manufacturer requires technical data from the vehicles.
Event memories in the vehicle can be reset by a service workshop as part of repair or service work.
The event memory should be read out and reset only by a qualified workshop. Additional
information on the stored data is available from the qualified workshop.
After a fault has been rectified, the information in the memory relating to the fault is deleted. Other
memory content is overwritten on an ongoing basis.
Event data recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder. The main task of an event data recorder is to
record data in particular accident scenarios or accident-like situations, e.g. in the event of airbags
being triggered or a collision with an obstacle on the road. These data help in analysis of how a
vehicle system behaved in these situations. The event data recorder records data relating to driving
dynamics and the restraint system for a short period of 10 seconds or less. This information includes,
for example:

of the driver and front passenger were fastened.


These data help to obtain a better understanding of the circumstances in the situations where
accidents and injuries have occurred.
Data from driver assist systems are also recorded. In addition to information about whether the
systems were switched on or off, available only to a restricted extent or inactive, it is also possible to
determine whether these functions steered, accelerated or braked the vehicle in the above-
described situations. Depending on the vehicle equipment, these systems include the following:

Assist).

Park Distance Control.

The data of the event data recorder are recorded only if a particular accident-like situation occurs.
No recordings occur under normal driving conditions. Audio or video data from the vehicle interior
or vehicle surroundings are not stored. Personal data such as name, gender, age or accident location
are also not recorded at any time. However, third parties such as law enforcement agencies can use
corresponding means to link the content of the event data recorder with other sources of data and
thus establish a reference to persons as part of an accident investigation.
Special equipment, access to the legally prescribed diagnostic interface (on-board diagnosis) and
switched-on ignition are required in order to read data out of the event data recorder.
Volkswagen will not access, read out or process data from the event data recorder unless the vehicle
owner (or lessee in the case of leasing) grants their permission. Exceptions to this are contractual or
legal provisions.
Due to its legal product monitoring obligations, Volkswagen is entitled to use the data for field
monitoring and also for research purposes and quality improvements. For research purposes,
Volkswagen makes the data available to third parties in anonymous form, in other words without
any reference to the individual vehicle, vehicle owner or lessee.
Reprogramming control units
All data for the control of components are stored in the control units. Some convenience functions,
such as convenience turn signal, single door unlocking and displays, can be reprogrammed using
special workshop equipment. If the convenience functions are reprogrammed, the specifications and
descriptions in this owner's manual will no longer match the original functions. Volkswagen
recommends having any reprogramming entered into the digital service schedule by a Volkswagen
dealership or qualified workshop.
Information about possible reprogramming can be obtained from the Volkswagen dealership.
Convenience and Infotainment functions
Depending on the equipment selected, you can store your own data in the vehicle's Infotainment
functions. This includes, for example:

data for use with a hands-free system or navigation system.


These data can be stored locally in the vehicle or located on a device that you have connected to the
vehicle, e.g. mobile device, USB stick or MP3 player. If these data are stored in the vehicle, you can

particular in relation to the use of online services and in accordance with your personal settings.
You can store convenience settings (personalisation) in the vehicle and change them at any time.
Depending on the equipment in the vehicle, this includes, for example:

ning system settings.

Integration of mobile devices
If your vehicle contains the necessary equipment, you can connect your mobile device or any other
mobile end device to your vehicle so that you can control this device via the controls integrated in
the vehicle when the corresponding functions are available. For example, images and sounds from
the mobile device can be output through the Infotainment system. At the same time, certain
information is sent to your mobile device. This includes location data and further general vehicle
information, depending on the type of integration. For more details, refer to the information about
display of apps in the Infotainment system.
This enables selected apps on the mobile device to be used in the vehicle, e.g. navigation or music
player. The mobile device and vehicle do not interact in any other ways than those described here,
in particular the device does not actively access vehicle data. The type of further data processing
depends on the app provider. The settings that you can make here depend on the app in question
and the operating system of your mobile device.
Third-party providers
If your vehicle is equipped with a connection to a mobile network, your vehicle will be able to
exchange data with other systems. The vehicle 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 functions 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 used to perform online services. For this, data
are exchanged over a secure connection, e.g. using the designated IT systems of the manufacturer.
Any collection, processing and use of personal data that goes beyond the provision of the service
takes place exclusively according to legal regulations, contractual agreements or the necessary
permission.
You can activate and deactivate the services and functions, some of which charge a fee, and, in some
cases, also disable the vehicle's entire data connection. This does not apply to any functions and
services required by law, e.g. emergency call systems.
Third-party services
If you are able to use online services provided by a party other than the manufacturer, these services
are the sole responsibility of the provider in question and are subject to this provider's privacy policy

r the content exchanged in these
services.
Please refer to the provider in question for information about the type, scope and purpose of the
collection and use of personal data related to third-party services.

WARNING
Incorrect use of the diagnostic interface can cause malfunctions, which can result in accidents and
serious injuries.


Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
