• Never carry a mobile phone that is switched on in the breast pocket directly
over the pacemaker.
• If you suspect there may be interference with a pacemaker or other medical
device, switch the mobile phone off immediately.
• The center armrest can interfere with the driver’s elbow movement and thus
cause accidents and severe injuries.
• Always keep the armrest closed while driving.
CRUISE CONTROL
• Using the cruise control when it is not possible to drive safely at a constant
speed can be dangerous and can lead to an accident and serious personal
injuries.
• Never use cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic or when you
cannot keep a safe distance between you and the vehicles ahead of you.
Never use cruise control on steep, winding, or slippery roads (such as gravel
roads, wet roads, or snowy or icy roads) or on roads with standing water.
• Never use cruise control when driving off-road or on unpaved roads.
• Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between you and the
vehicles ahead of you to the road, traffic, weather, and visibility conditions.
• To help prevent unintended operation of cruise control, switch the system off
when it is not being used. It is dangerous to use the Resume feature when
the previously set speed is too high for the existing road, traffic, or weather
conditions.
• When going downhill, the cruise control may not be able to maintain a
constant speed. The vehicle will speed up because of its own weight.
Downshift and/or use the foot brake to slow the vehicle.
• Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause
the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious
personal injury.
• Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
• Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
FUELING
• Improper refueling or handling of fuel is dangerous and can cause fire, explosion,
and severe burns.
• Always make sure that the fuel filler cap is screwed on all the way. This helps
keep fuel from spilling out or evaporating.
• Fuel is highly flammable and explosive; it can cause severe burns and other
severe injuries.
• Failure to shut the engine off while refueling and/or to insert the pump nozzle all
the way into the fuel filler neck can cause fuel to overflow and to spray out. Fuel
spray and overflowing fuel are dangerous because they can cause fire and serious
personal injury.
• During refueling, the engine and the ignition must be switched off for safety
reasons.
• Never use a mobile telephone, CB radio, or other radio equipment while refueling.
The electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and
cause a fire.
• Never get back into your vehicle while refueling. If in exceptional circumstances
you must get back in your vehicle while refueling, make certain that you close the
door and touch metal to discharge static electricity before touching the filler nozzle
again. This helps avoid the build-up of static electricity, which can cause sparks that
can ignite fuel vapors released during refueling.
• Never smoke or have an open flame (or sparks, cigarettes, or other smoldering
objects) anywhere in or near your vehicle when refueling or filling a portable fuel
container.
• Follow all safety instructions and procedures that apply at the service station
where you refuel.
• Never spill fuel in the vehicle or the luggage compartment.
• Even if empty, portable fuel containers can leak and cause a fire and serious
personal injuries, especially in a crash.
• For your safety, we strongly recommend that you do not travel with a portable fuel
container in your vehicle.
• If, under exceptional circumstances, you must transport a portable fuel container,
please observe the following:
– Never fill a portable fuel container while it is anywhere in or on the
vehicle (for example, in the luggage compartment or on top of the
luggage compartment lid). Static electricity can build up while filling
and can ignite fuel vapors, causing a fire.
– Always place a portable fuel container on the ground before filling.
Never spill fuel inside the vehicle or luggage compartment. Fuel
vapors are highly flammable.
BLUETOOTH
®
TECHNOLOGY
• Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Speaking on or
using a phone while driving can distract the driver from traffic.
• Select the volume settings so that the acoustic signals from the outside are
still audible (e.g. the sirens of emergency rescue vehicles). Obey all applicable
legal requirements.
• In areas without mobile network coverage or with poor mobile network
coverage, as well as in some tunnels, garages and subways, phone
conversations may be interrupted, and it may be impossible to make phone
calls – even emergency calls.
• In some countries and/or certain mobile networks, emergency calls may
only be supported when the mobile phone is connected to a mobile phone
package which has a SIM card which is “blocked” and/or has sufficient
calling credit on it, and adequate network coverage.
• A mobile phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places can be
thrown around the inside of the vehicle during a sudden braking maneuver,
crash or other accident and cause injury to vehicle occupants.
• Never place or mount a mobile phone on doors, the windshield, on or near
the area on the steering wheel marked “AIRBAG”, the instrument panel, the
seat backrests or the areas between these points and the driver/passengers.
Mobile phones can lead to serious injuries in cases of accidents, especially
when the airbags are inflated.
• Always switch off your mobile phone at gas stations or wherever there is a
fire or explosion hazard. The electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks that
can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
• The mobile phone will automatically connect to the mobile network when
the Bluetooth ® connection to the mobile phone package is disconnected.
• Using a radio device in the vehicle without a connection to an external
antenna might exceed electromagnetic radiation thresholds. This also applies
if the outside antenna is not installed properly.
• Always keep the cell phone antenna at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from
pacemakers. Heart specialists advise that cell phones can adversely affect the
way pacemakers work.
Important Safety Instructions and Warnings
are fully charged and energized.
• Never touch or let jewelry or other metal objects contact high-voltage cables
or the high-voltage battery and battery poles, especially if the cables, battery,
and battery poles have been damaged in any way.
• Never do any work yourself on the high-voltage electrical system, the orange
colored high-voltage wiring, or on the high-voltage battery.
• Never open, service, repair, or disconnect any part of the hybrid electrical
system.
• Never damage the orange colored high-voltage cables. Never remove them
and never disconnect them from the high-voltage electrical system.
• Never open or remove the orange colored cover on the high-voltage battery.
• Always have work on the hybrid electrical system and systems that could be
indirectly affected by it done by qualified, trained technicians who have the
know how, experience, documentation, and tools to do the work safely.
• All work on the high-voltage electrical system and the high-voltage battery
must be done in compliance with Volkswagen standards and guidelines.
• Vehicle keys must be safely stored a safe distance from vehicle so that the
ignition cannot be switched on and energize the electrical system.
• Gases vented or released from the high-voltage battery vapors are
potentially poisonous and can burn.
• Physical damage to the vehicle or the high-voltage battery can result in
immediate or delayed release of poisonous gases that can also cause a fire.
• Always avoid contact with leaking fluids and gases escaping from the
battery, particularly one that has been damaged.
• Always tell emergency responders that the vehicle has a high-voltage
battery.
• Driver distraction causes accidents and serious personal injury. Using the
instrument cluster or accessing Infotainment System menus while driving can
take your attention off the road and cause accidents.
• To help reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, never change settings in
the instrument cluster display or use Infotainment System functions unless the
vehicle is standing still.
• When powered by the electric motor, the vehicle makes much less
noise, both when idling and driving, than when it is running on the internal
combustion engine. It is much harder or even impossible for the drivers of
other vehicles and above all for cyclists, pedestrians, and children to hear the
vehicle when it is running on electrical power.
• Pedestrians and others can be struck and seriously injured because they
cannot hear the vehicle and tell that it is getting close to them, for instance
when you are parking, backing up, or driving in a low speed zone where
there is likely to be pedestrian traffic.
• Always watch out for pedestrians, especially small children, cyclists, and
others who may not hear the vehicle or realize that it is about to move or will
cross their path of travel.
• Always be especially careful in residential areas, school zones, and other
places where the speed of motor vehicles is restricted and pedestrians may be
at greater risk.
• Make sure the ignition and the hybrid drive system have both been turned
off before leaving the vehicle.
• Never leave the vehicle when READY is displayed in the instrument cluster or
when hybrid drive system indicator lights are still lit. The vehicle can move if
the accelerator is depressed even though the combustion engine has been
stopped. This can cause accidents and severe or fatal injuries.
• Make sure the transmission is in Park (P) before you get out of the vehicle.
• Never support the vehicle with cinder blocks, bricks, or other objects to
inspect it. The vehicle could slip or move suddenly and cause an accident with
serious personal injury.
• Never let the hybrid battery get wet. Liquids and other fluids can cause short
circuits, electrical shock, burns, and explosions.
• Never carry large amounts of liquids or other fluids in the luggage
compartment.
• Always make sure that any containers with liquids and other fluids are
properly secured and tightly closed to prevent leakage during normal driving
as well as hard cornering, braking, and other vehicle maneuvers. Leaking
liquids can get into the cover of the high-voltage battery and the high-voltage
cable connections. This can damage the electrical system and the high-
voltage battery.
• A parked vehicle that is not properly parked can roll away and cause
accidents or severe injuries. When leaving the vehicle, always move the
selector lever into Park (P) and engage the parking brake.
• Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can
cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious
personal injury.
• Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
• Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
– Always keep the filler nozzle completely inside the portable container
before and during filling.
– If filling a portable container made of metal, the filler nozzle must
always be in contact with the container. This will help prevent static
electricity from discharging and causing a fire.
– Always observe local and state or provincial laws about the use, storage,
and transportation of portable fuel containers.
– Make certain that the portable fuel container meets industry standards,
such as ANSI/ASTM F852-86.
• Driving with a fuel tank that is almost empty can lead to stalling in traffic, a
collision, and serious personal injuries.
• When the fuel tank is almost empty, fuel supply to the engine can be
interrupted, especially when driving over bumps, across slopes, and up and
down hills.
• Steering and braking assistance as well as ESC and related systems will not
work if the engine “sputters” or stalls due to lack of fuel.
• Always refuel when the tank is 1/4 full to reduce the risk of running out of fuel
and stalling in traffic.
• Spilled fuel can cause fires, explosions, burns, and other severe injuries.
• Always stop refueling once the pump nozzle switches off so that the tank does
not overflow.
• Improper refueling or handling of fuel can cause fire, explosion, and severe
burns.
• Fuel is highly explosive and flammable and can cause severe burns and other
injuries.
• Heed applicable safety warnings and obey local fuel handling regulations.
• Always make sure the fuel cap is screwed on all the way. This keeps fuel from
spilling out and from evaporating.
• For safety reasons, the engine must be turned off when refueling.
• Starting fluids can explode and cause a run-away vehicle condition.
• Never use starting assist fluids.
HYBRID DRIVE
• The vehicle’s high-voltage electrical system and high-voltage battery are
dangerous and can cause burns, other serious personal injuries, electrocution,
and death.
• Always assume that high-voltage battery and parts of the high-voltage system
