Legal requirements

Fig. 144 Symbol for vehicles that send tracking information
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
By concluding a Volkswagen Car-Net contract for your vehicle, you as the contracting party
undertake within the meaning of data protection law to inform each driver that the vehicle can
transmit and receive data online. This also applies if you sell or lend your vehicle.
Failure to observe this obligation to inform can infringe certain rights of vehicle occupants.
GPS tracking: check with all occupants
Some Volkswagen Car-Net services require vehicle data to determine whether the vehicle is
complying with set speed limits, where the vehicle is parked, or whether the vehicle is located within
a defined area. This information can be displayed in the Car-Net portal and in the Volkswagen Car-
Net app.
Therefore, before setting off, ask all occupants if they agree to use of the activated services. If an
occupant does not agree, deactivate the service (if possible) or exclude the occupant from use of the
vehicle. If you do not observe this, you may violate certain rights of the vehicle occupants.
GPS tracking: symbol
If a factory-fitted control unit is used to transmit the vehicle's current location and speed, this
symbol Fig. 144will always be located in the vehicle (e.g. on the roof console). However, the

Fig. 144symbol in the vehicle does not mean that the control unit is not
transmitting the current position or speed of the vehicle.
