Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Spilt operating fluids must be 
collected and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment.
Warning lamp for coolant
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the ignition is 
switched on. They will switch off after a few seconds.
Lit upPossible causeSolution
Engine coolant temperature is 
too low in vehicles with natural 
gas engine.
Avoid high engine speeds and heavy engine loads.
FlashesPossible causeSolution
Coolant temperature too high.
Do not drive on!
Stop the vehicle as soon as possible, and when 
safe to do so. Switch off the engine, leave the 
engine to cool down.
Coolant level too low.
Do not drive on!
After the engine has cooled down, check the 
coolant level and refill engine coolant if the level is 
too low ⇒ Checking the coolant level and refilling 
coolant.

fault in the engine cooling 
system.
Do not drive on!
Seek expert assistance.
In some vehicles, the coolant temperature display may be displayed on the screen of the 
portable navigation device (delivered by Volkswagenyf  ⇒ Accessories, modifications, repairs and

Event data recorder
The vehicle is not fitted with an event data recorder.
Event data recorders temporarily store vehicle information. This provides precise information in the 
event of an accident. In vehicles with an airbag system, data that might be relevant in the event of 
an accident can be stored, e.g. impact speed, belt buckle status, seat positions and trigger speed. 
The scope of the data is manufacturer-specific.
An event data recorder may only be fitted if the owner has approved the procedure. This is covered 
by legislation in some countries.
Reprogramming control units
All data for the control of components are stored in the control units. Some convenience functions, 
such as lane change flash, single door unlocking and displays, can be reprogrammed using special 
workshop equipment. If this is the case, the descriptions in your vehicle wallet will no longer 
correspond with the original functions. Volkswagen recommends that you have any reprogramming 
confirmed in the service schedule under Workshop comments.
Information about possible reprogramming can be obtained from the Volkswagen dealership.
Reading the vehicle's event memory
A diagnostic interface for reading the event memories is located in the vehicle interior ⇒. Data 
relating to the function and status of the electronic control units are stored in the event memory. 
Additional information on the stored data is available from qualified workshops.
The diagnosis interface is located behind near the fuse box in the footwell on the driver side.
The event memory should only be read and reset by a qualified workshop.
After a fault has been rectified, the information in the memory pertaining to the fault is deleted. 
Other memory content is overwritten on an on-going basis.
Using a mobile telephone in the vehicle without a connection to the 
external aerial
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Both during telephone calls and in standby mode, mobile telephones transmit and receive radio 
waves, which may also be termed "high-frequency energy". Current scientific literature warns us 
that radio waves can be harmful to human beings if they exceed certain limits. Government bodies 
and international committees have introduced threshold values and guidelines to ensure that 
electromagnetic radiation produced by mobile telephones does not pose a hazard to health. 
However, there is no proven scientific evidence that demonstrates that cordless telephones are 
absolutely safe.
For this reason, some experts are calling for more precautions to be taken in the use of mobile 
telephones, by taking steps to reduce the level of personal exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
If a mobile telephone that is not connected to the vehicle's external aerial is used inside the vehicle, 
the level of electromagnetic radiation could be higher than when the mobile telephone is connected 
to an integrated aerial or any other external aerial.
If the vehicle is fitted with a suitable hands-free unit which enables the use of innumerable 
additional functions of Bluetooth compatible mobile telephones, this will satisfy the legal 
requirements in many countries which permit the use of a mobile telephone in a vehicle only if a 
hands-free unit is used.
The hands-free system of the portable navigation device (delivered by Volkswagenyf  L Q  \ R X U  Y H K L F O H  
has been developed for mobile telephones that are compatible with Bluetooth⇒ Portable 
navigation device. Mobile telephones must be located in a suitable telephone holder or be stored 
securely in the vehicle. If a telephone holder is used it must be securely attached to the base plate. 
This is the only way to ensure that the mobile telephone is securely attached to the dash panel and 
always within reach of the driver. Depending on the hands-free system, the connection between the 
mobile telephone and the external aerial is established either via the telephone holder or via an 
existing Bluetooth connection between the mobile telephone and the vehicle.
Connecting the mobile telephone is to a telephone aerial integrated in the vehicle or to an external 
telephone aerial reduces the electromagnetic radiation generated by the telephone which could 
affect the human body. Using an aerial also improves the quality of the signal.
Incorrect use of the diagnostic interface can cause faults, which can result in accidents and 
serious injuries.
