Vehicle care
Notes on vehicle care
Regular and expert care helps to maintain the value of the vehicle.
Leaving stains, dirt and other deposits on the surface of vehicle components and cloth seat covers
for a long time can make it difficult to clean and treat them. Stains, dirt and deposits may become
impossible to remove, particularly if left for a long time.
For proper cleaning and care, Volkswagen recommends using Genuine care products that have
been matched to your vehicle. Consult a qualified workshop if you have any specific questions or if
vehicle parts are not listed.
1)
Incorrect care and cleaning of vehicle parts can impair the safety features of the vehicle
and cause serious injury.
•Vehicle parts must be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions.
•Always use approved or recommended cleaning products.
•Do not use solvent-based cleaning products. Solvents can cause irreparable damage
to the airbag modules.
•Protect your hands and arms against parts with sharp edges, e.g. when cleaning the
underbody or the insides of the wheel housings.
WARNING
Dirty, misted or iced over windows reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and
severe injuries. This could impair the safety equipment of the vehicle.
•Only drive when you have a clear view through all windows.
•Do not treat the windscreen with water-repellent window coating agents. In
unfavourable conditions, they can cause increased dazzle.
