Accessories and parts

Volkswagen recommends obtaining advice from a Volkswagen dealership before purchase of accessories, replacement parts or service fluids,
e.g. if the vehicle is to be retrofitted with accessories or parts have to be replaced. Volkswagen dealerships can recommend accessories, parts
and service fluids suitable for your requirements. They can also answer any questions you might have regarding official regulations.
Volkswagen recommends you use only approved Volkswagen accessories and Volkswagen Genuine Parts
been specially tested by Volkswagen for suitability, reliability and safety. And Volkswagen dealerships are qualified to install them correctly.
Although the market is constantly scrutinised, Volkswagen cannot assume responsibility for the reliability, safety and suitability of products
Volkswagen has not approved. Volkswagen can therefore assume no responsibility for these parts, even if they have been approved by an
official testing agency or are covered by an official approval certificate.
Any retro-fitted equipment which has a direct effect on the control of the vehicle must be approved by Volkswagen for use in your vehicle and
bear the e mark (the European Union's authorization symbol). These devices include cruise control systems or an electronically controlled
suspension.
Any additional electrical components fitted that do not serve to control the vehicle itself must bear the
declaration in the European Union). Such devices include refrigerator boxes, laptops and ventilator fans.
WARNING
Incorrectly performed repairs or modifications to your vehicle can impair the effectiveness of the airbags, cause malfunctions, accidents and
fatal injury.
Never secure or mount objects such as drink holders or telephone holders either on or next to the airbag covers or within the deployment
zones of the airbag modules.
Objects either on or next to the airbag module covers or are in the deployment zone of the airbags can cause serious or even fatal injuries
should the airbags be activated.

Repairs and technical modifications

Repairs and technical modifications must always be carried out according to Volkswagen specifications
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic components or software in the vehicle may cause malfunctions. As the electronic components are
linked together in networks, these faults may indirectly affect the working of other systems. This can seriously impair safety, lead to excessive
wear of components, and also invalidate the type approval for the vehicle.
The Volkswagen dealership cannot be held liable for any damage caused by technical modifications and/or work performed incorrectly.
The Volkswagen dealership is not responsible for damage caused by technical modifications and/or work performed incorrectly. Such damage is
not covered by the Volkswagen guarantee.
Volkswagen recommends that all repairs and technical modifications be performed by an authorised Volkswagen workshop using Volkswagen
