KEYLESS ENTRY
• Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal injury.
• Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. The engine can
be started and vehicle systems such as the power windows can be operated,
leading to serious personal injury.
• Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot help
themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked with the remote control
vehicle key. This could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an
emergency. For example, depending on the time of year, people trapped in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
• Heat build-up in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked
vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than
the outside temperatures, particularly in summer. Temperatures can quickly
reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to small
children.
• Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehicle is moving or
rolling to a stop. The steering wheel will lock and you will not be able to steer
or control the vehicle.
PREMIUM VIII AUDIO
• Driver distraction can cause accidents and serious personal injury. Operating
the radio navigation system while driving can distract the driver from traffic
situations.
• Always drive attentively and responsibly.
• Select volume settings so that acoustic signals from the outside are audible
(e.g. the sirens of emergency rescue vehicles).
• Setting the volume too high can damage hearing. This can also extend to
short exposure of the ears to loud volumes.
• Sudden volume fluctuations may occur when the audio source is changed
or connected.
• Lower the volume before changing or connecting to an audio source.
• Connecting cables of external devices may obstruct the driver.
• Route cables so as not to interfere with the driver.
• Unmounted or improperly mounted external devices can be thrown through
the passenger compartment in the event of a sudden driving or braking
maneuver or an accident, causing injury.
• Never leave external devices in the doors, on the front windshield, on or near
failure and loss of control.
• If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tires will wear prematurely and
the vehicle will not handle well.
• If the tire is not "flat" and you do not have to change a wheel immediately,
drive carefully and at reduced speed to the nearest service station to check
the tire pressure and add air as required.
• When replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with TPMS always
read and heed the information and all WARNINGS.
• The Tire Pressure Monitoring System must be recalibrated using the SET
button whenever you remove and remount or change any wheel or tire on the
vehicle, even if the reinstalled or replacement wheels and tires are identical to
those that were removed and even if the tire pressure does not change.
• Improper use of the SET button can cause the TPMS to give false warnings
or to give no warning despite dangerously low tire pressure.
VOLKSWAGEN CAR-NET™
• Application software and Volkswagen Car-Net™ services that are unsuitable
or improperly used can cause accidents, serious personal injury and vehicle
damage.
• Volkswagen Car-Net™ services can be used only where adequate cellular
and GPS signals are available.
• Volkswagen recommends using only application software and "Volkswagen
Car-Net™" services provided by Volkswagen specifically for your vehicle.
• Protect the mobile device and its application software from misuse.
• Never modify application software and Volkswagen Car-Net™ services.
• Always read and heed the operating instructions for the mobile device.
• Driver distraction causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!
Using application software and Volkswagen Car-Net™ services while driving
can distract the driver from traffic.
• Always drive attentively and responsibly.
• Vehicle health reports do not replace the information provided by the vehicle
warning and indicator lights. Failure to heed warning lights and instrument
cluster text messages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and
result in a collision and serious personal injury.
• Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
• Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
• Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and where no part
the area marked "AIRBAG" on the steering wheel, instrument panel, and seat
backs or between these areas and the occupants. External devices can cause
serious injury in the event of an accident, especially if the airbags inflate.
• The center armrest can interfere with the driver's elbow movement and thus
cause accidents and severe injuries.
• Always keep the armrest closed while driving.
• Injuries can be caused by invisible laser beams if the housing of the CD
player is opened.
• Have the CD player repaired only by a specialist.
NAVIGATION & INFOTAINMENT
• Driving recommendations and traffic signs displayed in the navigation
system may differ from the actual traffic situation.
• Traffic signs and regulations take precedence over navigation driving
recommendations and displays.
• Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and
visibility conditions.
• Inserting data media while driving can distract the driver from traffic and
lead to accidents.
• Always drive attentively and responsibly.
RNS 315 AUDIO
• Driver distraction can cause accidents and serious personal injury. Operating

• Route cables so as not to interfere with the driver.
• Unmounted or improperly mounted external devices can be thrown through
the passenger compartment in the event of a sudden driving or braking
of the hot catalytic converter and exhaust system can come into contact
with flammable materials under the vehicle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled
fuel, etc.
• A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself and others.
Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning triangle to warn
oncoming traffic.
• Before opening the engine hood, always switch off the engine and let the
engine cool down.
• Always be very careful when working in the engine compartment, which
is a potentially dangerous area in any motor vehicle and can cause serious
personal injury.
• Airbag deployment

crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
• Incorrect tire pressures and/or under inflation can cause sudden tire failure,
loss of control, collision, serious personal injury or even death.
• When the warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster, stop and
inspect the tires. Under inflation can cause increased tire wear and can affect
the handling of the vehicle and stopping ability.
• Incorrect tire pressures and/or under inflation can also lead to sudden tire
failure, including a blowout and sudden deflation, causing loss of vehicle
control.
• The driver is responsible for the correct tire pressures for all tires on the
vehicle. The recommended tire pressure values are listed on a sticker inside
the driver door.
• The TPMS can only work correctly when all tires on the vehicle are filled to
the correct cold tire inflation pressure.
• Using incorrect tire pressure values can cause accidents or other damage.
Always inflate the tires to the correct specified cold tire pressure values for
the tires installed on the vehicle.
• Always maintain correct cold tire inflation pressure so that TPMS can do
its job.
• Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct tire pressure before
driving off.
• Driving with under inflated tires causes them to flex (bend) more, letting
them get too hot, resulting in tread separation, sudden tire failure, and loss
of control.
• Excessive speed and/overloading can cause heat build-up, sudden tire
services that may collect location information. See applicable Terms of
Service available at www.vw.com/carnet for details.
