also lead to damage to other parts of the vehi-
cle’s electrical system→ in Notes on vehicle
care on page 202.
Seat cushions with seat heating have electrical
components and connectors that may be dam-
aged in the event of incorrect cleaning or treat-
ment→ . This can also result in damage to other
parts of the vehicle electrics.
For the above reasons, the following items must
be observed when cleaning the seat covers:
– Never use high-pressure cleaners, steam
cleaners and coolant spray.
– Never switch on the seat heating to dry the
seats.
– Do not use washing paste or fine detergent
solutions.
– Never soak seat covers.
– If in doubt, go to a correspondingly qualified
workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a
Volkswagen dealership.

Accessories, modifications,
repairs and renewal of parts
Accessories and replacement parts
Seek advice from a suitably qualified workshop
before purchasing accessories, replacement parts
or service fluids. If the vehicle is to be retrofitted
with accessories or if parts have to be renewed,
qualified workshops can provide information on
legal requirements and also recommend accesso-
ries, replacement parts and service fluids. Volks-
wagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealer-
ship.
Volkswagen recommends using Volkswagen
Genuine Parts and Volkswagen Genuine Accesso-
ries
®
.These parts and accessories have been spe-
cially tested by Volkswagen for suitability, relia-
bility and safety. A suitably qualified workshop
also has the specialist skills for correct installa-
tion. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswa-
gen dealership.
Although the market is constantly scrutinised,
Volkswagen cannot assume responsibility for the
reliability, safety and suitability of products
Volkswagen has not approved. Therefore, even if
they have been approved by an official testing
agency or are covered by an official approval cer-
tificate, Volkswagen can therefore assume no re-
sponsibility for these parts!
Any retrofitted equipment has a direct impact on
the vehicle, it shall be confirmed by the Volkswa-
gen whether it is suitable for the vehicle. These
devices include cruise control systems or elec-
tronically controlled damping systems.
If auxiliary electrical equipment not related to
the handling of the vehicle is added, this equip-
ment must comply with the relevant national
