This is indicated by the symbol with the crossed- through waste bin.
Returning end-of-life vehicles At the end of its life, your vehicle must be recy- cled and disposed of in an environmentally ap- propriate way. Volkswagen has formulated corre- sponding regulations for the recycling of end-of- life vehicles. – As the end user, you are required by law to re- turn used batteries. Batteries that contain heavy metals are marked with the chemical symbols Hg (mercury), Cd (cadmium) and/or Pb (lead). Heavy metals can damage the health of human beings and animals and can accumulate in the environment. To avoid this, please ensure that your used batteries are collected separately and returned properly.
If you satisfy the national legal requirements, the vehicle return centre can return your end-of-life vehicle free of charge. Further information on return and recycling can be obtained from your Volkswagen dealership. Scrapping The relevant safety requirements must be ob- served when scrapping the vehicle or its individu- al components, e.g. the airbag system and belt tensioners. These requirements are known to the correspondingly qualified workshops.
