Volkswagen recommends that you seek advice from a Volkswagen dealership before purchasing accessories, spare parts or service fluids. For example, if the vehicle is to be retrofitted with accessories or if parts have to be renewed. Volkswagen dealerships can recommend accessories, parts and service fluids which are 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^® . These parts and accessories have been specially tested by Volkswagen for suitability, reliability and safety. A Volkswagen dealership is also qualified for correct installation.

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 vehicle and/or the way it is driven 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.

If any additional electrical components are fitted which do not serve to control the vehicle itself, these must bear the mark (manufacturer conformity declaration in the European Union). These devices include a refrigerator box, laptop or ventilator fan.

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, telephone holders either on or next to the airbag covers or within the deployment zone of the airbag.

Items which are 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.
