Depending on where the vehicle is used, it could be a good idea to have an engine and transmission guard installed. An engine and transmission guard can reduce the risk of damage to the vehicle's underbody and engine oil sump, for example when driving over kerbs, driveways or unsurfaced roads. If you wish to have one fitted, Volkswagen recommends contacting your Volkswagen dealership.

Additional information and warnings:

  • Sitting correctly and safely
  • Transporting items
  • Starting the engine, changing gear and parking the vehicle
  • Driving with respect for the environment
  • Consumer information
Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication or narcotics can cause serious accidents and fatal injuries.
  • Alcohol, drugs, medication and narcotics can severely impair perception, reaction times and driving safety. This could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
