Mobile communication in the vehicle
Electromagnetic radiation
If a mobile telephone or radio device is used without being connected to the external aerial, the
electromagnetic radiation will not be optimally directed to the outside of the vehicle. Increased
levels of radiation in the vehicle interior can occur in particular in the event of poor reception, e.g. in
rural areas. This could constitute a health hazard ⇒.
Depending on the equipment, you may be able to use a suitable mobile phone interface to connect
the mobile telephone to the external aerial ⇒BookletInfotainment system,. The connection quality is
improved and the range of the mobile communication device is increased.
Using a telephone
Many countries require a hands-free system to be used when using a telephone inside the vehicle,
e.g. via a Bluetooth connection. Before use, secure the mobile telephone to a suitable bracket ⇒
or stow it in a storage compartment so that it cannot slip around, e.g. in the centre console.
Use a compatible mobile telephone if the mobile phone interface uses the remote SIM Access
Profile (rSAPyf technology.
Two-way radios
Observe legal regulations and the manufacturer's operating instructions for operation of two-way
radios. Approval is required for retrofitting two-way radio systems.
Ask your Volkswagen dealership for further information on installation of two-way radio systems.
Customer information
Incorrect repairs and modifications can cause malfunctions and damage to the vehicle
and impair the effectiveness of the airbag system. This can result in accidents and serious
or even fatal injuries.
•Repairs and modifications to your vehicle should only be carried out by a qualified
workshop.
•Airbag modules cannot be repaired. They must be replaced.
•Never use recycled airbag components or components that have been taken from end-
of-life vehicles in your vehicle.
WARNING
Modifications to the vehicle's suspension, including the use of unsuitable tyre/rim
combinations, can cause the airbag system to work differently and increase the risk of
serious or fatal injuries in the event of an accident.
•Never install any components in the suspension system that do not have the same
characteristics as the original factory-fitted components.
•Never use tyre/rim combinations that have not been approved by Volkswagen.
WARNING
®
Mobile telephones which are loosely placed in the vehicle or not properly secured could
be flung through the vehicle interior and cause injuries during a sudden driving or braking
manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
•Secure any mobile telephones and accessories located beyond the deployment zone of
the airbags, or stow them safely.
WARNING
If mobile telephones or two-way radios that are not connected to an external aerial are
used, electromagnetic radiation in the vehicle could exceed limit values and thus be a
health hazard for drivers and other vehicle occupants. This also applies to external aerials
which have not been correctly installed.
•Keep a distance of at least 20 cm between a device's aerial and an active medical
implant, e.g. a pacemaker.
•Do not carry an operational device close to or directly above an active medical implant,
e.g. in a breast pocket.
•Switch off the device immediately if you suspect it may be interfering with an active
medical implant or any other medical device.
