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.
Fixed service or flexible service

The service events differ according to oil change service and inspection. The service interval display
in the display of the instrument cluster serves as a reminder for the due date of the next service
event.
Your vehicle will receive either the fixed service or flexible service for the oil change service,
depending on the vehicle equipment, the engine type and the operating conditions.

Observe the information on engine oil specifications according to VW standards ⇒ Engine oil .
Features of the flexible service
With the flexible service, you only need to have an oil change service carried out if your vehicle
requires one. Individual operating conditions and personal driving style are taken into account in
order to determine this point in time. An important part of the flexible service is the use of LongLife
engine oil instead of conventional oil.
Observe the information on engine oil specifications according to VW standards ⇒ Engine oil .
If you do not wish to have the flexible service, you can opt for the fixed service instead. However, a
fixed service can affect your service costs. Your service advisor will be pleased to help.
Service interval display
Scheduled services at Volkswagen are displayed in the service interval display in the instrument
cluster ⇒ Service interval display  or in the Vehicle settings menu in the Infotainment system
⇒ Vehicle settings menu . This service interval display provides information on services that include
an oil change or inspection. When an individual service is due, additional work that is due can also be
carried out, e.g. changing brake fluid and spark plugs.
a) Information is stated for vehicles used under normal operating conditions.
b) Whichever comes first.

Information on operating conditions
The specified service intervals and scope of service are always for vehicles used under normal
operating conditions.
If the vehicle is operated under severe conditions, some work will have to be performed before the
next service or at shorter intervals than those specified.
Severe operating conditions are, for example:



th high levels of dust,

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
Inadequate servicing, no servicing at all, or failure to adhere to service intervals may result in
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.

Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts
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
Genuine Parts®. These parts and accessories have been specially tested by Volkswagen for
suitability, reliability and safety. Volkswagen dealerships are also qualified to install them correctly.
Although the market is constantly scrutinised, Volkswagen cannot assume responsibility for the
reliability, safety and suitability of products Volkswagen has not approved. Volkswagen can
therefore assume no responsibility for these parts even if they have been approved by an official
testing agency or are covered by an official approval certificate.
Any retrofitted equipment which has a direct effect on the control of the vehicle must be approved
by Volkswagen for use in your vehicle and bear the e mark (the European Union's approval symbol).
These devices include cruise control systems or an electronically controlled suspension.
Any additional electrical components fitted that do not serve to control the vehicle itself must bear
the mark (manufacturer conformity declaration in the European Union). Such devices include
refrigerator boxes, computers and ventilator fans.

WARNING
Incorrectly performed repairs or modifications to your vehicle can impair the effectiveness of the
airbags and cause malfunctions, accidents and fatal injury.
re or position objects, e.g. telephone holders, in the deployment zone of the airbags
since these objects can cause serious or fatal injuries if the airbags are triggered.
Repairs and technical modifications
Repairs and technical modifications must always be carried out according to Volkswagen
specifications⇒ .
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic components or software in the vehicle may cause
malfunctions. As the electronic components are linked together in networks, these faults may
indirectly affect the operation of other systems. This can seriously impair safety, lead to excessive
wear of components, and also invalidate the type approval for the vehicle.

The Volkswagen dealership cannot be held liable for any damage caused by technical modifications
and/or work performed incorrectly.
The Volkswagen dealership is not responsible for damage caused by technical modifications and/or
work performed incorrectly. Such damage is not covered by the Volkswagen guarantee.
Volkswagen recommends that all repairs and technical modifications be performed by an authorised
Volkswagen workshop using Volkswagen Genuine Parts®.
Volkswagen repair information
Volkswagen service information and official Volkswagen repair information can be purchased for a
fee.
Customers in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, Central and South America: please contact a
Volkswagen dealership or qualified workshop or register with the online portal erWin (electronic
repair and workshop information):

erWin is available in numerous languages.
Vehicles with special body equipment or add-on parts
The manufacturers of body equipment and add-on parts must ensure that the body equipment and
add-on parts (conversions) adhere to the applicable environmental laws and regulations, particularly
the EU directive 2000/53/EC concerning end-of-life vehicles and EU directive 2003/11/EC concerning
the restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations.
The vehicle owner should keep all assembly documentation for these conversions, and pass it on to
the disassembly company upon vehicle handover if the vehicle is scrapped. This is designed to
facilitate environmentally friendly disposal for all vehicles, including converted vehicles.
Windscreen repairs
To function properly, some items of equipment require an electrical or electronic module, which is
located on the inside of the windscreen near the interior mirror. If the windscreen has been
damaged in the viewing field of the electrical or electronic module, e.g. by stone impact, the
windscreen must be replaced. Repairing the crack can lead to malfunctions or faults in the
equipment.
After changing the windscreen, the camera and sensors must be set up and calibrated by a qualified
workshop.
Impairment or damage to sensors and cameras
Incorrectly performed repairs, structural changes to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the suspension,
retrofitted add-on parts or changes to the trim can lead to sensors and cameras being displaced or
damaged. This can also be caused by collisions, e.g. when parking, or also even by minor damage,
e.g. stone impacts on the windscreen.
Failure to observe this point may impair important functions (driver assist systems) and damage the
vehicle.

Please note that the validity of the Volkswagen LongLife mobility guarantee may differ depending on
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.
