Mobile Signals in the Vehicle
Electromagnetic radiation
If a mobile telephone or radio device is used without being connected to the external aerial, the electromagnetic radiation will not be optimally directed to the outside of the vehicle. Increased levels of radiation in the vehicle interior may occur in areas with poor signal in particular, for instance in rural areas. This could constitute a health hazard.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, a suitable mobile phone interface can be used to connect the mobile telephone to the external aerial. The connection quality is improved and the range is increased.
Using the telephone
Using the telephoneMaking telephone calls in the vehicle is permitted only using a hands- free system, e.g. via a Bluetooth® connection. Stow the mobile telephone in the provided stowage compartments before use, e.g. in the center console.
Radio
Observe legal requirements and the manufacturer's operating instructions for operating radio. The retrofitting of two- way radios requires authorisation.
Ask a qualified workshop for further information on installation of a two- way radio. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center.
WARNING
Mobile telephones that are not secured or not properly secured could be flung through the vehicle interior in the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre or accident and cause serious injuries.
Secure or stow a mobile telephone and accessories safely and outside the deployment zone of the airbags.
WARNING
If a mobile telephone or two- way radio that is not connected to an external aerial is used, electromagnetic radiation in the vehicle could exceed limit values. This also applies to external aerials which have not been correctly installed. This can endanger the health of the driver and the vehicle occupants.
Keep a distance of around 20~\mathrm{cm} (around 8 inches) between a device's aerial and an active medical implant, e.g. a pacemaker. Do not carry device which is operationally ready close to or directly above an active medical implant, e.g. in a breast pocket. Switch off the device immediately if you suspect it may be interfering with an active medical implant or any other medical device.
