Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒Introduction to the subject

Government regulations in the United States and Canada require that automobiles meet specific emission regulations and safety standards. Therefore, vehicles built for the U.S. and Canada differ from vehicles sold in other countries.

If you plan to take your vehicle outside the continental limits of the United States or Canada, there is the possibility that:

Unleaded fuels for vehicles with catalytic converters may not be available.

Fuel may have a considerably lower octane rating and may cause engine damage.

Service may be inadequate due to lack of proper service facilities, tools or testing equipment.

Replacement parts may not be readily available.

DVD navigation systems for vehicles built for the United States and Canada will not necessarily work in Europe, and may not work in other countries outside of North America.

Note

Volkswagen is not responsible for mechanical damage that may result from substandard fuel or service or the unavailability of Genuine Volkswagen parts.

Volkswagen is not responsible if the vehicle does not meet the respective legal requirements in other countries and continents.
