NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for any vehicle
damage caused by inadequate servicing work
or lack of Genuine Parts.
Please observe the notes and informa-
tion for vehicles with N1 approval
Servicing the vehicle regularly is not
only about vehicle maintenance – it al-

areas with high levels of dust. Further infor-

gen dealership or qualified workshop.
