Service
Service work and digital service schedule
The vehicle data attached to the inside cover of this owner's manual help ensure that you can have
the correct Volkswagen Genuine Parts® installed in your vehicle whenever required. It also
determines which type of service applies to your vehicle.
The vehicle data sticker confirms when the vehicle was first registered or delivered, when the pre-
delivery inspection was carried out, and thus the date from which your vehicle is covered by our
warranty.
Storing the service operations performed (digital service schedule)
Each service record is stored by your Volkswagen dealership and qualified workshop in a central
system. This transparent documentation of the service history allows the service operations
performed to be reproduced at any time. Each time you have your vehicle serviced, Volkswagen
recommends asking for a printed service record, which contains all service work stored in the
system.
With every service, the printout of the previous service record is replaced by a current printout.
The digital service schedule is not available in some markets. In this case, your Volkswagen
dealership will inform you about the documentation process for service work.
Service work
The following information is documented in the digital service schedule by your Volkswagen
dealership or qualified workshop:

advisor will note these on the order.


The LongLife mobility guarantee is valid until the next inspection is due. Documentation takes place
at every due inspection.
The type and scope of service work may differ from vehicle to vehicle. Information on specific work
for your vehicle can be requested from a qualified workshop.

WARNING
Inadequate servicing, no servicing at all, or failure to adhere to service intervals can result in
breakdowns, accidents and serious injury.


NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for any vehicle damage caused by inadequate service work or the lack
of part availability.

Regular servicing of your vehicle not only maintains its value, it also ensures that your vehicle
remains roadworthy and in working order. You should therefore have your vehicle serviced
according to the Volkswagen guidelines.

Care allergen filter




The service advisor at your qualified workshop will be pleased to advise you on whether your vehicle
requires more frequent work between the normal service intervals due to the conditions under
which it is used.

WARNING

breakdowns, accidents or serious injury.
Have service work carried out by an authorised Volkswagen dealership or workshop.

Vehicle care
Notes on vehicle care
Regular, expert care helps to maintain your vehicle.
The longer contamination or dirt is left on the surface of vehicle components and upholstery fabrics,
the more difficult it can become to clean and treat them. Extended exposure may mean that it is no
longer possible to remove contamination or dirt.
Volkswagen recommend using Genuine care products that have been matched to your vehicle.1)
Consult a qualified workshop if you have any specific questions or if vehicle parts are not listed.

Start with the roof and work from the top to the bottom.


Use a shampoo for very stubborn dirt only.
Waxing
Waxing protects the paintwork. At the latest when water no longer clearly forms small drops and
runs off the paintwork when the vehicle is clean, reapply the protection to the vehicle using a quality
preservative wax.
Even if a preservative wax is applied regularly in the automatic car wash, Volkswagen recommends
protecting the vehicle paintwork at least twice a year using Volkswagen Genuine hard wax (-
000 096 317 -).
Polishing
Polishing is only necessary if the paint has lost its shine, and the gloss cannot be brought back by
applying wax.
Matt-painted vehicle parts must not be polished in order to avoid producing a shine ⇒ .

WARNING

Volkswagen recommends using Volkswagen Genuine de-icing agent (- 000 096 322 -) for de-icing. Do
not use door lock de-icer containing grease solvents.
