Data transmission

Cyber security

Cyber security describes measures that reduce the risk of illegal access to vehicle functions, data and control modules caused by malware or an Internet attack. Of all the components in the vehicle, connectivity components are most at risk of unauthorized access or cyber attacks.
Connectivity components comprise control modules or data transmission, interfaces, media and diagnostic connections through which information and data can be exchanged between the vehicle and mobile devices or the Internet. Connectivity components are equipped with security mechanisms to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to vehicle systems.
Connectivity components include in particular:
— Diagnostic connection port
— Control module with installed eSIM card.
— Phone interface
— App-Connect.
— Wi-Fi® hotspot.
— NFC radio technology.
— AUX-IN jack.
— Bluetooth® interface.
— CD/DVD drive.

A system update is used to update the software of control modules in the vehicle.

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.
