Old vehicle return and scrap disposal  
Old vehicle return  
At the end of its life cycle, your vehicle should be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. This is why the last owners of vehicles in many  
states are legally obliged to hand their vehicles over to an authorized treatment facility.  
Volkswagen has already made provision for this point: Recycling centers where you can hand over your vehicle are available throughout many federal states.  
Find out more information about recycling centers from your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.  
Scrap disposal  
If scrapping the vehicle or its individual parts such as the airbag system and the safety belt pretensioners, the applicable safety regulations must always be followed  
Suitably qualified professionals will be familiar with these provisions. Volkswagen recommends contacting your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized  
Volkswagen Service Facility.  
Radar Sensors  
Depending on the vehicle equipment, assistance systems, e.g. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), that use radar sensors may be installed in your vehicle.  
Observe the legal regulations for restricted access to certain zones that prohibit entry for vehicles with radar sensors. Observe relevant traffic signs where  
applicable. If you wish to enter one of these areas, first consult with an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility to determine  
whether there are radar sensors installed in your vehicle.  
WARNING  
Sensors are subject to physical system limitations. External sources of interference, e.g. from other vehicles, can affect the functions of the sensors and impair  
the functions of the supporting systems. If the system does not work as expected, this may result in accidents and serious or fatal injuries.  
Always pay attention to the traffic situation and vehicle environment.  
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.  
Reporting Safety Defects  
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic  
Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Volkswagen of America, Inc.  
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy  
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Volkswagen of America, Inc.  
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at:  
Tel.: 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153)  
go to:
