These data help to better understand the circumstances
of situations where accidents have occurred and
injuries have occurred.
Stickers and signs
In the engine compartment and on other vehicle
components, there are stickers and signs from the
factory with important information for the operation of
the vehicle.
Data from driver assistance systems is also recorded.
In addition to the information on whether the systems
were on, off, only partially available or inactive, it can
also be checked whether these functions controlled,
accelerated or braked the vehicle in the situations
mentioned above. Depending on the equipment, these

Black box data is only recorded if a special situation
such as an accident occurs.
Under normal driving conditions, no recording is
made. No audio or video data from the passenger
compartment or from around the vehicle is stored. Nor
are personal data, such as name, sex, age or place of
the accident, recorded at any time. However, third
parties, such as police and judicial authorities, can link
the contents of the black box with other data sources
using specific means to do so and associate them with
someone during the investigation of an accident.
WARNING
Improper use of the vehicle increases the risk of
accidents and injuries.
· Observe the legal provisions.
· Observe the instruction manual.
WARNING
Improper use of the vehicle can cause damage to it.
To consult the data from the black box it is necessary to
have special equipment, to have access to the connection
socket for vehicle diagnosis required by law (“on-board
diagnosis”) and that the ignition be switched on.
· Observe the legal provisions.
· Carry out maintenance work as prescribed.
Volkswagen will not access, consult or process the black
box data unless the owner of the vehicle (or in the case
of leasing, the lessor) gives his consent, or unless there
are contractual or legal provisions in this regard.

WARNING
The antennas that are located on the inside of the crystals can
be damaged by objects rubbing against them or by the use of
corrosive or acid-containing products.
Make sure that all components are disposed
of correctly and never fit components
disassembled from end-of-life vehicles or from
recycling plants into the vehicle.
· Do not stick stickers on top of metal threads, eg. e.g., in the
area of the rear window.
· Never clean the antennas with products that are corrosive or
contain acids.
Air conditioning lubricating oil
The air conditioner contains up to 210 ml (7 oz) of lubricating
oil. The exact specifications and quantities of the air conditioning
lubricating oil can be found on the Internet portal erWin (electronic
information system for repairs and workshops) ÿ p. 373.
WARNING
If an infotainment system is retrofitted, it must be compatible
with the antenna amplifier fitted as standard in the vehicle.
Otherwise, the amplifier may be damaged.
WARNING
To ensure correct and safe operation of the air conditioner,
only duly qualified technical personnel are authorized to carry
out maintenance work on it.
component protection
Some electronic components, such as the infotainment
system, and some control units are factory-fitted with a
component guard.
WARNING
· Never repair the air conditioning evaporator with disassembled
parts from vehicles at the end of their useful life or from
recycling plants, nor replace it with this type of parts.
Component protection allows the lawful assembly or replacement
of components and control units by a specialist workshop.
· USA and Canada: The parts for the evaporator of the air
conditioner have to be certified and identified according to
the SAE J2842 HFO-1234y and R744 standards.
In the following situations, component protection prevents
factory-supplied components from unrestricted use outside the
vehicle:
— Mounting on other vehicles, e.g. For example, after a robbery.
— Use of components outside the vehicle.
If a message about component protection is displayed on the
instrument panel display or on the infotainment system display,
