Maintenance Schedule

Service
Service work and digital service schedule
The vehicle data stickers attached to the inside cover of this owner’s manual help ensure that you can have the correct Volkswagen Genuine Parts® installed in your vehicle whenever required. It also determines which type of servicing applies to your vehicle.
The vehicle data sticker confirms when the vehicle was first registered or delivered, when the delivery inspection was carried out, and thus the date from which your vehicle is covered by our warranty.

Recording the service work performed (“digital service schedule”)
The service records are stored by your Volkswagen dealership or qualified workshop in a central system. This transparent documentation of the service history allows the service operations performed to be reproduced at any time. Each time you have your vehicle serviced, Volkswagen recommends asking for a printed service record, which contains all service work stored in the system.
With every service, the printout of the previous service record is replaced by a current printout.
The digital service schedule is not available in some markets. In this case, your Volkswagen dealership will inform you about the documentation process for service work.

Service work
The following information is documented in the digital service schedule by your Volkswagen dealership or qualified workshop:

• • When which service was carried out.
  • Whether any repairs are recommended, such as replacement of the brake pads in the near future.
  • Whether you had any special requests before or during the maintenance work. Your service advisor will note these on the order
  • Which components and service fluids were changed.
  • When your next service is scheduled for.

The type and scope of service work may differ from vehicle to vehicle. Information on specific work for your vehicle can be requested from a qualified workshop.

WARNING
Inadequate servicing, no servicing at all, or failure to adhere to service intervals can result in breakdowns, accidents and serious injury.

Volkswagen is not responsible for any vehicle damage caused by inadequate service work or the lack of availability of parts.

Regular servicing of your vehicle not only maintains its value, it also ensures that your vehicle remains roadworthy and in working order. You should therefore have your vehicle serviced according to the Volkswagen guidelines.

• In some markets, scheduled services are carried out at intervals that differ from the specified service intervals. More detailed information is available from a qualified dealership.

Vehicle care

Notes on vehicle care
Regular and expert care helps to maintain your vehicle’s condition.
The longer contamination or dirt is left on the surface of vehicle components, the more difficult it can become to clean and treat them. Extended exposure may mean that it is no longer possible to remove contamination or dirt.
Volkswagen recommends using genuine care products designed especially for your vehicle. 1) Consult a qualified workshop if you have
any specific questions or if vehicle parts are not listed.

WARNING
Incorrect care and cleaning of vehicle parts can impair the safety features of the vehicle and cause serious injury.

• Vehicle parts must be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Always use approved or recommended cleaning products.
• Do not use cleaning agents that contain solvents. Solvents can cause irreparable damage to the airbag modules.
• Protect your hands and arms against parts with sharp edges, e.g. when cleaning the insides of the wheel housings.

WARNING
If the windscreen, door windows or rear window are dirty, iced up or affected by condensation, visibility will be reduced and the risk of accidents and severe injuries will increase. This could impair the safety equipment of the vehicle.

• Drive only when you have a clear view through all windows.
• Do not treat the windscreen with water-repellent window coating agents. In unfavourable conditions, they can cause in-creased dazzle.

WARNING
Care products may be toxic and hazardous. Unsuitable care products and incorrect ap-plication of care products can cause accidents, severe injuries, burns or poisoning.

• Store care products only in the closed original container.
• Observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Keep children away from all care products.
• Use care products only outside or in well-ventilated rooms so that you do not breathe in any toxic vapours.
• Never use turpentine, nail varnish re-mover or other volatile fluids for vehicle care. These substances are toxic and highly flammable.

NOTICE
Soiling with aggressive and solvent-based ingredients can cause irreparable damage to the vehicle equipment, even if left for only a short time, e.g. on seat padding or trim parts.

• Do not let contamination or dirt dry.
  Have stubborn stains removed by a qualified workshop.
