vals in the

⇒ Booklet

Warranty and Maintenance, especially for changing the brake fluid. Hard use,

frequent stop-and-go driving, driving in very dusty areas, trailer towing, and other factors may make it
necessary to have the vehicle serviced more frequently. Ask an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for more information.

Driving in other countries

Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

Checklist

Some countries have special safety standards and emissions requirements that your vehicle may not
meet. Before taking your vehicle to another country, Volkswagen therefore recommends that you ask
your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility about the following
issues with regard to the country to which you would like to travel:

Should the vehicle be technically prepared for the trip abroad, such as masking or adjusting head-

lights?

Are maintenance, repair facilities, necessary tools and testing equipment as well as spare parts

readily available for your vehicle?

Are there authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities in the

countries where you will be driving?

For gasoline engines: Is unleaded fuel with the right octane rating readily available?

Are engine oil (Engine oil) and other operating fluids that meet Volkswagen quality and perfor-

NOTICE

Volkswagen is not responsible for mechanical damage that may result from substandard fuel
or service or the unavailability of Genuine Volkswagen parts.

Driving through water on roads

Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

page 32.

Note the following to help prevent vehicle damage when driving through water, for example on flooded
roads:

Check the depth of the water before driving through it. The water must not be any higher than

the bottom of the vehicle body

⇒

Do not drive faster than walking speed.
Never stop the vehicle, and do not drive in reverse or switch the engine off when driving through

water.

Oncoming vehicles may create waves that raise the water level and make it too deep for your

vehicle to drive through safely.

WARNING

After driving through water, mud, sludge, etc., the brakes react slower and need longer stop-
ping distances.

Always dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a few careful applications of the

brake. Make sure not to endanger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.

Avoid abrupt or sudden braking maneuvers immediately after driving through water.

NOTICE

Vehicle components such as the engine, transmission, suspension or electrical system may

be severely damaged by driving through water.

Never drive through salt water. Salt causes vehicle corrosion. Thoroughly rinse with fresh

water all vehicle parts that were exposed to salt water.
