Premium VIII

Audio

HD Radio® Programming. HD Radio is totally free programming,

offering crystal clear sound—FM stations have CD-quality sound,
while AM stations sound like FM stereo. HD Radio also offers more
variety, as many FM stations broadcast extra HD multicast channels.

HD Radio Signal Interruption. When leaving the HD coverage
area, HD1 channels will switch to the analog signal, while
HD2/HD3 channels will cut off completely, without gradual
fading. This is normal. The signal will refresh as you drive.

SiriusXM Satellite Radio. New Volkswagen vehicles come with
a three-month trial subscription to the Sirius Select package.
Infrequently, tall buildings and tunnels may interrupt the satellite
signal. This is normal. The signal will refresh as you drive. For more
information, please refer to the SiriusXM brochure in your glove box.

Important Warnings and Safety Information, which you must read, are listed on the last panel under PREMIUM VIII WARNINGS.
