# Repairs and Technical Modifications # Repairs and technical modifications must always be carried out according to Volkswagen specifications. Unauthorised modifications to the electronic components or software in the vehicle may cause faults. As the electronic components are linked together in networks, these faults may indirectly affect the working of other systems. This means that the operational safety of the vehicle is at great risk, the wear and tear of the components increases, and the vehicle may not be able to pass the roadworthiness permit of the relevant authorities for unauthorised modifications. The ID. UNYX Service Center cannot be held liable for any damage caused by technical modifications and/or work performed incorrectly. The ID. UNYX Service Center is not responsible for damage caused by technical modifications and/or work performed incorrectly. Such damage is not covered by the Volkswagen guarantee. Have all repairs and technical modifications carried out by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center that supplies Volkswagen genuine parts. # Volkswagen repair information Volkswagen Service information and official Volkswagen repair information can be obtained for a fee. Please contact a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center. # Diagnostic interface (OBD) There is a diagnostic interface in the vehicle interior for reading the event memories (OBD). Event memories document any errors that have occurred and any deviations from the nominal values in the electronic control units. The diagnostic interface (OBD) is located in the driver side underneath the dash panel. The event memory should only be read and reset by a suitably qualified workshop. Additional information on the stored data is available from suitably qualified workshops. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center. After a fault has been rectified, the information in the event memory relating to the fault is deleted. Other memory content is overwritten on an ongoing basis. # Vehicles with special auxiliary equipment or body parts The vehicle owner must keep all assembly documentation for these conversions and pass it on to the scrapping company upon vehicle handover if the vehicle is scrapped. This is intended to facilitate environmentally responsible disposal for all vehicles, including refitted vehicles. # Windscreen repairs To function properly, some items of equipment require an electrical or electronic module, which is located on the inside of the windscreen near the interior mirror. If the windscreen has been damaged in the viewing field of the electrical or electronic module, e.g. by stone impact, the windscreen must be replaced. Repairing the crack can lead to malfunction or functional faults in the equipment. After changing the windscreen, the camera and sensors must be adjusted and calibrated by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center. # Impairment or damage to sensors and cameras Incorrectly performed repairs, structural changes to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the suspension, retrofitted add- on parts or changes to the trim can lead to sensors and cameras being displaced or damaged. This can also be caused by collisions when parking, or also even by minor damage such as stone impacts on the windscreen. The area in front of and around the sensors and cameras must not be covered by stickers, additional headlights, trim frames for number plates or similar. Observe the position of sensors and cameras on the vehicle overviews. # 1 NOTICE The function of sensors may be impaired by additional films or paint applied on and over the sensors. - Have the component replaced by a suitably qualified workshop in the event of damage in the area of the sensors in the bumper. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center. Failure to observe this may impair important functions of driver assist systems and damage the vehicle. Repairs and structural modifications should be carried out by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center. Further information: - Repainting and paint touch-ups in the area around the sensors may impair the function of the system in question.- On some vehicle models, the Volkswagen badge can impair the view of the radar sensor in the front area. You should therefore operate the vehicle only with the original Volkswagen badge or a badge approved by Volkswagen. # WARNING Incorrect repairs and modifications to the vehicle can impair the effectiveness of the driver assistance systems and the airbags when they trigger. This can cause malfunctions and lead to accidents and serious or fatal injuries. - Have repairs and modifications to your vehicle carried out only by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center. # WARNING Incorrectly performed repairs and modifications can damage the vehicle and cause accidents and serious injuries. - Volkswagen recommends using Volkswagen Genuine Parts or Volkswagen Genuine Accessories, which you can purchase from an ID. UNYX Service Center. These parts and accessories have been specially tested by Volkswagen for suitability, reliability and safety.- Have repairs and modifications to your vehicle carried out only by a suitably qualified workshop. Qualified workshops have the necessary tools, diagnostic equipment, repair information and qualified personnel. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center.- Never fit parts to your vehicle that differ in their design or characteristics from the factory- fitted parts.- Use only wheel rim/tyre combinations that have been approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle type. # WARNING Incorrect use of the diagnostic interface can cause malfunctions, which can result in accidents and serious injuries. - Never read the event memory yourself using the diagnostic interface.- Never upload data to the vehicle yourself using the diagnostic interface.- The event memory should be read only by a suitably qualified workshop using the diagnostic interface.
