WARNING

The central computer of the Infotainment system
is networked with the control units installed in the
vehicle. Incorrect repair or incorrect removal and
installation of the central computer therefore lead
to an increase risk of accident and injury.

Never replace the central computer with a used

·

central computer from end-of-life vehicles or
from recycling.

Have the central computer removed and instal-

·

led or repaired only by a qualified workshop.
Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen
dealership for this purpose.

WARNING

The factory-installed radio with integrated hard­ware is networked with the control units installed
in the vehicle. Incorrect repair or incorrect removal
and installation of the radio therefore lead to an
increase risk of accident and injury.

Never replace the radio with a used radio from

·

end-of-life vehicles or from recycling.
Have the radio removed and installed or re-

·

paired only by a qualified workshop. Volkswa­gen recommends using a Volkswagen dealer­ship for this purpose.

WARNING

Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is dis­tracted. Reading information off the screen and
operating the Infotainment system can distract
you from the road and cause accidents.

Always drive carefully and responsibly.

·

190 Infotainment

WARNING

Connecting, inserting or removing data media or
audio sources while the vehicle is in motion can
distract you from the road and lead to accidents.

WARNING

Set the volume so that noises outside the vehicle
(e.g. emergency service sirens) can be easily heard
at all times.

Setting the volume too high may damage your

·

hearing. This is the case even if you are only ex­posed to high volumes for short periods.

WARNING

The following conditions can lead to situations
where emergency calls, telephone calls and data
transmission are not possible or are interrupted:

If your current location is in an area with no or

·

insufficient mobile communications and GPS re­ception. This can also include tunnels, streets
with tall buildings, garages, underpasses, moun­tains and valleys.

If you are in an area with sufficient mobile com-

·

munications and GPS reception but the tele­communications provider's mobile network is
out of order or is not available.

If the components in the vehicle required for

·

emergency calls, telephone calls and data trans­mission are damaged, not working or do not
have sufficient electrical power.

If the rechargeable battery in the mobile device

·

is flat or has insufficient charge level.

WARNING

In some countries and mobile networks, a call for
assistance or an emergency call can be made only
if a mobile device is connected to the vehicle's
mobile phone interface that contains an “un­locked” SIM card with sufficient credit, and if there
is sufficient network coverage.

WARNING

Read and follow the appropriate operating man­uals of the respective manufacturer when using
mobile devices, data media, external devices, ex­ternal audio and media sources.

WARNING

Arrange the wires for external devices and audio
sources so that they do not obstruct the driver.

WARNING

The volume level may suddenly change when you
switch the audio or media source or connect a new
source.

Reduce the volume before switching the audio

·

or media source or connecting a new source.

WARNING

The limit values for electromagnetic radiation in
the vehicle may be exceeded, and thus the health
of the driver and vehicle occupants may be endan­gered when operating a mobile or wireless device
without a connection to an external aerial. This al­so applies to external aerials which have not been
correctly installed.

Maintain a minimum distance of 20 centimetres

·

between the aerials of the mobile device and an
active medical implant, since the mobile devices
may impair the function of active medical im­plants.

Do not carry an operational mobile device close

·

to or directly above an active medical implant,
e.g. in a breast pocket.

Switch off mobile devices immediately if you

·

suspect they may be interfering with an active
medical implant or any other medical device.

WARNING

Mobile devices, external devices and accessories in
the vehicle that are not properly secured can be
flung though the vehicle interior and cause injuries
in the event of a sudden driving or braking ma­noeuvre or in the event of an accident.

Secure any mobile devices and accessories out-

·

side the deployment zone of the airbags or stow
them safely.

WARNING

The centre armrest can obstruct the driver's arm
movements. This can cause accidents and severe
injuries.

Always keep the stowage compartment in the

·

centre armrest closed while the vehicle is in
motion.

WARNING

Unfavourable light conditions and a damaged or
dirty screen may result in displays and information
not being read or not being read correctly from
the screen.

Displays and information on the screen must

·

never cause you to take safety risks. The screen

Getting started 191

is no substitute for full concentration on the
part of the driver.

WARNING

Radio stations can transmit catastrophe and dan­ger warnings. The following conditions can pre­vent these warnings from being received or issued:

If your current location is in an area with no or

·

insufficient radio signal reception. This can also
include tunnels, streets with tall buildings, ga­rages, underpasses, mountains and valleys.

If the frequency bands of the radio stations are

·

subject to interference or are not available in
areas with adequate radio signal reception.

If the loudspeakers and the components re-

·

quired for radio reception in the vehicle are
damaged, not working or do not have a suffi­cient power supply.

When the Infotainment system is switched off.

·

WARNING

Switch off mobile devices in areas with a risk of
explosion.

WARNING

Driving recommendations and traffic symbols dis­played by the navigation system may differ from
the current traffic situation.

Road signs, traffic signals, traffic regulations

·

and local conditions have priority over the rec­ommendations and displays provided by the
navigation system.

Adapt your speed and driving style to suit visi-

·

bility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Certain events can make the originally planned

·

driving time and route to the destination con­siderably longer or make navigation there tem­porarily impossible, e.g. due to a road being
closed.

NOTICE

Your mobile device must always be switched off in
areas where special regulations apply and when the
use of mobile devices is forbidden. The radiation
produced by the mobile device when switched on
may interfere with sensitive technical and medical
equipment, possibly resulting in malfunction or
damage to the equipment.

NOTICE

The loudspeakers may be damaged if the volume is
too high or the sound is distorted.

Notes on use

Please refer to and on page 190.

— The Infotainment system needs a few seconds for

a complete system start and does not respond to
inputs during this time. During system startup,
only the rear view camera image can be dis­played.

— The Infotainment system needs to start up com-

pletely before all displays are available and before
it is possible to run functions. The duration of a
system start depends on the functional scope of
the Infotainment system and can also take longer
than usual particularly at low and high tempera­tures.

— When using the Infotainment system and the cor-

responding accessories, such as a headset or ear­phones, please observe the country-specific regu­lations and legal requirements.

— Some Infotainment functions require an active

We Connect user account for the vehicle and an
online connection to the Internet. The data trans­fer must not be restricted for the execution of the
functions.

— Lightly pressing the buttons or touching the

touchscreen is sufficient to operate the Infotain­ment system.

— To ensure that the Infotainment system works

properly, it is important to make sure the system
is switched on and that the correct date and time
are set in the vehicle – where available.

— A missing function button on the screen does not

constitute a fault in the unit; it corresponds to the
country-specific equipment.

— Some functions of the Infotainment system are

available only when the vehicle is stationary. In
some countries, the selector lever must addition­ally be in parking position P or neutral position N.
This is not a malfunction, but simply a legal re­quirement.

— There may be restrictions on the use of Blue-

tooth® devices in some countries. Information is
available from the local authorities.

— Switch the ignition on before switching the Info-

tainment system back on if the 12-volt vehicle
battery has been disconnected.

— Changes to settings may cause the display con-

tent to vary and some aspects of the Infotain­ment system operation to differ from the descrip­tions given in this manual.

— Repairs and modifications to the Infotainment

system should be carried out only by a qualified

192 Infotainment

workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a
Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

— Using a mobile device in the vehicle may cause

noise from the speakers.

— In some countries, the Infotainment system is au-

tomatically switched off when the engine is
switched off and when the 12-volt vehicle battery
charge level is low.

— In certain vehicles with Park Distance Control, the

volume of the current audio source is lowered au­tomatically when reverse gear is engaged. It is
possible to lower the volume.

— Information on the included software and the li-

cence conditions is stored under:

.

Setup

— If you sell your vehicle or loan it to somebody

else, make sure that all the stored data, files and
settings are deleted and that the SD card, external
audio sources and data media are removed where
applicable.
