Running in the engine

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
Any new engine has to be run in during the first 1,500 kilometres. All moving parts have to adapt themselves to each other. The engine is subject
to higher internal friction during the first hours of operation than later on.
Do not depress the accelerator fully.
Do not drive the vehicle at more than 2/3 of the top engine speed.
Do not drive with a trailer attached
Increase the driving speed and engine speed gradually .
The style of driving during the first 1,500 kilometres will also affect the engine quality. Even after this time – and especially with a cold engine –
drive the vehicle at moderate speeds in order to reduce engine wear and to increase the mileage that the engine can cover.
Do not drive at engine speeds that are too low. Always shift down gear if the engine is not running smoothly.
→ Wheels and tyres
New tyres and brake pads
If the engine is run in gently, the life of the engine will be increased and its oil consumption reduced.

Using the vehicle in other countries and continents

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
The vehicle has been manufactured specifically for a particular country and complies with the registration regulations that applied in that country
at the time of vehicle production.
If you want to use the vehicle abroad for a short period, all relevant information and instructions should be followed
If the vehicle is going to be sold in another country or used in another country for an extended period, the legal requirements applicable in that
country must be observed.
In some cases, certain equipment will have to be fitted or removed and functions deactivated. The service scope and service types could also be
affected. This is particularly important if the vehicle is driven in another climate region for a long period of time.
Because different frequency bands are used in different countries, the factory-fitted infotainment system may not work in other countries.
NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for any vehicle damage caused by low-quality fuel, inadequate servicing work or lack of Genuine Parts.
Volkswagen cannot be held responsible if the vehicle does not comply with or only partly complies with the relevant legal requirements in
other countries and continents.
