Never drive through salt water as salt can
cause corrosion. Rinse all components that
have been exposed to salt water immedi-
ately with fresh water.
Using the vehicle in other
countries and continents
The vehicle has been manufactured specifi-
cally for a particular country and complies
with the registration regulations that applied
in that country at the time of vehicle produc-
tion.
If you want to use the vehicle abroad for
a short period, all relevant information and
instructions should be followed → page 32.
If the vehicle is going to be sold in another
country or used in another country for an ex-
tended period, the legal requirements appli-
cable in that country must be observed.
In some cases, certain equipment will have to
be fitted or removed and functions deactiva-
ted. The scope of servicing and the type of
servicing could also be affected. This is par-
ticularly important if the vehicle is driven in
another climatic region for a long period of
time.
Because different frequency bands are used
in different countries, the factory-fitted Info-
tainment system may not work in other
countries.
Due to different legal regulations, it is possi-
ble that charging at mains sockets will be
permitted only with reduced charging current
in other countries. The charging cable limits
the charging current corresponding to the in-
frastructure used. The lower value is used for
charging if the settings differ → page 287.
Due to different technical standards, charg-
ing at charging stations in another country
may not be possible or may be possible only
using a suitable charging cable. Consult
a Volkswagen dealership for further informa-
tion.
