applications can vary. Some applications also depend on availability of services offered by third parties. A mobile network with sufficient signal
strength for exchange of data must be available for the use of applications.
Due to the high number of mobile devices and the fast pace of software development, the applications on offer cannot be operated on all mobile
devices and their operating systems. This may apply even within the model series of a mobile device, e.g. due to a new version of the operating
system.
Applications can be changed, set, deactivated, reactivated and expanded without prior notice.
NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for damage to the vehicle caused by poor quality or faulty applications, insufficient programming of applications,
insufficient network strength or loss of data during transmission or by misuse of the mobile equipment.

Transporting items

Stowing luggage

Heavy objects must always be stowed securely in the luggage compartment and you must ensure that the rear seat backrests are securely
engaged in the upright position. Always use suitable securing straps with the fastening rings to secure heavy items. Never exceed the vehicle's
maximum payload. Both the payload and the distribution of the load in the vehicle will have an effect on the driving response and braking
distance → .
Always stow all items of luggage in the vehicle securely.
Distribute loads in the vehicle, on the roof and on the trailer
Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compartment as possible. Position the rear seat backrests securely.
Secure luggage in the luggage compartment to the fastening rings with suitable straps

WARNING
When the vehicle is not in use or is left unattended, always lock the doors and boot lid to reduce the risk of severe or fatal injuries.
Never leave children unattended, especially when the boot lid is open. Children could make their way into the luggage compartment, close
the boot lid and be unable to get out. This can cause severe or fatal injuries.

WARNING
Objects that are not secured, or are secured incorrectly, can cause serious injuries in the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre or
accident. This applies particularly if objects are struck by the airbag when activated and then flung through the vehicle interior. To reduce the
risk of accidents, please observe the following guidelines:
Always stow all objects in the vehicle securely. Always stow luggage and heavy objects in the luggage compartment.
Always use suitable straps to prevent luggage from entering the deployment zones of the side airbag or the front airbag in the event of a
sudden driving or braking manoeuvre or an accident.

motion.
