Regularly inspect and adjust the wheel align- ment platform and tool/computer at least once a year as part of equipment maintenance. Four-wheel alignment parameters Incorrect repairs and modifications to the vehi- cle can cause breakdowns, damage the vehicle, reduce the efficiency of the steering wheel and braking system. This can cause malfunctions and lead to accidents and serious or fatal inju- ries. WARNING ● Only approved four-wheel alignment equip- ment should be used for alignment purposes. WARNING ● Volkswagen dealerships have access to ap- proved four-wheel alignment equipment and have been trained accordingly.
Therefore, have the vehicle four-wheel alignment per- formed at a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership. ● The maintenance and modification of the ve- hicles shall be carried out by the qualified workshop who have the necessary tools, di- agnostic instruments, maintenance materials and qualified professional and technical per- sonnel. ● Four-wheel alignment values beyond the above parameters will seriously affect the driving stability of the vehicle. Any damages or malfunctions resulting from unauthorized alignment adjustments are not covered un- der the warranty.
