Manual DescriptionIn this section you'll find information about, operating your vehicle outside of the United States Canada, improper vehicle care and use, as well as improper changes to the vehicle, increase risk, obey all applicable legal requirements.
Read your Owner's Manual heed all WARNINGS, improper vehicle care and use, as well as improper changes to the vehicle, can result, perform service according to the specifications in ⇒ Booklet Warranty, Please first read and note the introductory information heed WARNINGS.
Factory-installed safety certificates, stickers and signs containing important information regarding, vehicle operation can be found in the engine compartment and on certain vehicle components, such, as inside the fuel filler flap, on the passenger sun visor, in the driver door jamb luggage, do not remove, alter or render unusable or illegible any safety certificates, stickers labels.
If vehicle components bearing safety certificates, stickers, or labels are replaced, make certain that, the firm doing the work attaches new conforming certificates, stickers, or labels to the same part, a safety certificate affixed to the door jamb in the driver door confirms that at time production all, necessary safety standards and requirements of the traffic safety agency respective country.
Radiator fan and high voltage warning sticker, a warning sticker about the radiator fan and the high voltage of the electrical system located, engine compartment next to the engine hood release, government regulations in the United States and Canada require that automobiles meet specific.
From vehicles sold other countries, if you plan to take your vehicle outside the continental limits of the United States Canada, there, unleaded fuels for vehicles with catalytic converters may not be available, fuel may have a considerably lower octane rating and may cause engine damage.
Service may be inadequate due to lack of proper service facilities, tools testing equipment, replacement parts may not be readily available, dVD navigation systems for vehicles built for the United States and Canada will not necessarily, work in Europe, and may not work in other countries outside North America.
Volkswagen is not responsible for mechanical damage that may result substandard fuel, or service or the unavailability Genuine Volkswagen parts, volkswagen is not responsible if the vehicle does not meet respective legal, requirements in other countries continents.

Windshield-integrated antenna and never clean the antenna with corrosive acidic cleaning, if electrical devices are operated close to the integrated windshield antenna, interference with AM, uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG): Quality grades can be found where applicable tire, sidewall between the tread shoulder and maximum section width.
For example: Treadwear 200, Traction AA, Temperature A, all passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition these grades, the treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under, controlled conditions on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 (Treadwear-value 150) would wear one-and-one-half (1 1/2) times, well on the government course as tire graded 100, the relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, may, depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices differences.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C, ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions specified government test, the temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C representing the tire's resistance, generation of heat, and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, excessive temperature can lead sudden tire failure, the grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under.
