Volkswagen Car-Net allows you to communicate with your vehicle online or via an app in a very
simple way in order to exchange data, request information or control functions.
In order to use Volkswagen Car-Net, the vehicle needs to have been ordered with Car-Net and
factory-fitted with the system. Depending on the service portfolio, Volkswagen Car-Net can be
operated via the factory-fitted Infotainment system, via a Car-Net portal on the internet or using a
mobile device.
Information about the Volkswagen Car-Net services, applications, availability, compatible mobile
devices and service portfolio, as well as service descriptions, are available on the Volkswagen
website:
• In Europe and Japan: www.Volkswagen.com/car-net
• In China: www.vwcarnet.com.cn
Before using the Volkswagen Car-Net services for the first time, please read and observe the
information in the relevant service description. This will quickly help you to become familiar
with the services and make you aware of potential risks to yourself and others, and how to
avoid them.
High voltage in the electrical system!
• Never spill any liquids over the socket.
• Do not plug any adapters or extension cables into the 230-, 115- or 100-volt socket.
Otherwise the built-in child lock will disengage and power will be supplied to the
socket.
• Do not insert any items which will conduct electricity, such as knitting needles, into the
contacts of the 230-, 115- or 100-volt socket.
DANGER
• 230-, 115- or 100-volt socket:
- Do not plug any heavy devices or connections, such as mains adapters, directly
into the socket.
- Do not connect any lights which use neon tubes.
- Only connect devices to the socket with a voltage that matches the voltage of the
socket.
- In the case of electrical devices with a high starting current, the built-in excess
current switch will prevent the device from being switched on. If this happens,
disconnect the electrical device from the power supply and reconnect after waiting
approximately ten seconds.
NOTICE
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
• Always drive carefully and responsibly.
WARNING
Failure to observe the information in the service description can lead to your vehicle
breaking down in traffic, and can cause accidents and serious injuries.
• Always use the most up-to-date edition of the relevant service descriptions which is
available on the Volkswagen website.
