The necessary data transfer may be
subject to charges. Due to the poten-
tially high volume of data in use, Volkswagen
recommends using a mobile phone tariff
which includes a data flat rate. For more in-

Depending on your mobile telephone
tariff, additional costs (such as roam-
ing charges) may be charged for loading and
using online data packages, especially if you
use these services abroad.
