Volkswagen Polo Owners Manual: Using the vehicle in other countries and continents
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
The vehicle has been manufactured specifically for a particular country and complies with the registration regulations that applied in that country at the time of vehicle production.
If the vehicle is to be sold in another country or used in another country for an extended period, the legal requirements applicable in that country must be observed.
In some cases, certain equipment will have to be fitted or removed and functions deactivated. The scope and type of service available may also be affected. This is particularly important if the vehicle is driven in another climate for a long period of time.
Because different frequency bands are used in different countries, the factory-fitted radio or navigation system may not work in other countries.
NOTICE
- Volkswagen is not responsible for any vehicle damage caused by low-quality fuel, inadequate servicing work or lack of Genuine Parts.
- Volkswagen cannot be held responsible if the vehicle does not comply with or only partly complies with the relevant legal requirements in other countries and continents.
