Volkswagen ID.4: Vehicle care information

Regular, proper care helps to maintain your vehicle.

The longer dirt remains on the surfaces of vehicle components, the more difficult it may be to clean and care for them. Long-term exposure can make it impossible for dirt to be removed.

For questions regarding care products or for vehicle components that are not listed, consult a suitably qualified professional. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Suitably qualified professionals can provide you with suitable accessories. Volkswagen recommends the use of Genuine Volkswagen Accessories, which you can acquire from an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Read and follow the usage instructions on the packaging.

WARNING

Cleaning and caring for vehicle components incorrectly can irreparably damage and impair the vehicle's safety equipment, such as the airbag modules. This may cause serious injuries in the event of an accident.

• Clean and maintain vehicle components only according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Always use approved or recommended cleaning solution.
• Never use cleaning solutions that contain solvents.

WARNING

Cleaning the vehicle incorrectly may result in serious injuries.

• Protect your hands and arms against components with sharp edges, for example when cleaning the inside of the wheel housings.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when using cleaning agents.

WARNING

Dirty, foggy, or icy door windows reduce visibility and can impair the vehicle's safety equipment. This can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

• Only drive when there is clear visibility through all windows.
• Do not use water-repellent window solutions on the windshield. This can cause intense glare under poor visual conditions.

WARNING

Care products can be poisonous, highly flammable and dangerous. Using care products incorrectly or using unsuitable care products can cause burns and poisoning and may lead to accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

• Note the package insert.
• Only store care products in their sealed original containers.
• Keep children away from all care products.
• Only use care products outside or in well-ventilated areas so that no harmful vapors are inhaled.
• Never use turpentine, engine oil, fuel, nail polish remover, or other highly volatile fluids for vehicle care.

NOTICE

Cleaning dirt with aggressive and solvent-based products can cause permanent damage to vehicle equipment, for example even with only brief exposure on seat cushions or decorative parts.

• Do not allow dirt to dry.
• Have stubborn spots removed by a suitably qualified, authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
