General
The damping characteristics, braking and steering system should not be modified. Exceptions must be authorised by Volkswagen AG prior to conversion measures.

Note:
Changing the steering and braking forces for vehicle conversions for disabled persons is not possible.

Airbag
In the event of intervention by the custom body manufacturer/coachbuilder in the structure of the vehicle, such as

• Changes to the front end, frame longitudinal members, integral axle carriers and 1st cross member
• Attachment of belt tensioners where there are no B-pillars
• Changes to floor structure in area of airbag triggering device
• Changes to seats and thereby the kinematics of the occupants
• Change to the wiring of the airbag system
• Modification of the system structure
• The gas generator of the curtain airbag can be found in the A-pillar (do not screw on handles or similar).
• Do not carry out any changes to the seat covers where seat airbags are installed
• No changes to the door panel trims (airbag sensors)

the safe function of the airbag and belt tensioner is no longer guaranteed. These components may only be installed if authorisation is given by Volkswagen AG.


Emissions (exhaust emissions/noise)
In the event of changes to the exhaust emission and noise relevant components (e.g. engine/injection pump/control unit, exhaust system/catalyst, air intake system, tyres, etc.), exhaust gas and noise measurements must be carried out. Observe up-to-date country-specific regulations and directives when doing this.

Parts fitted as standard to reduce emissions should not be removed as a consequence or changed in any way as otherwise the operating certificate will become void.
