New Vehicle Warranty

Volkswagen Group Australia warrants that:

If despite proper driver treatment and proper prescribed maintenance defects in original material or manufacture occur in this vehicle during a period of 5 years (60 months) unlimited kilometres from the date of delivery of the vehicle to the original retail customer for new vehicles or date of first registration by the dealer for demonstrator vehicles, then any authorised Volkswagen Dealer will rectify such defects free of charge upon obtaining approval from Volkswagen Group Australia. The 5 Year New Vehicle Warranty for vehicles used as taxi, ride share or hire car purposes are limited to 5 years/150,000 kilometre warranty (whichever comes first).

Volkswagen Group Australia does not accept liability for any item which failed due to normal wear and tear, driver abuse or unauthorised modifications, or from the non-professional repair or maintenance of the vehicle. There are other circumstances which may make a repair necessary and for which a charge maybe made by an authorised Volkswagen Dealer. This depends mainly on where and how the vehicle is used and includes weather and atmospheric conditions, road surfaces, your driving habits, vehicle usage and frequency of servicing.

New Vehicle Warranty explanations

In accordance with the warranty terms & explanations set out in this booklet for new Volkswagen vehicles:

The warranty against defects in original materials or manufacture is provided from the date of delivery of the vehicle to the original retail customer for new vehicles or date of first registration by the dealer for demonstrator vehicles. Natural wear and damage caused by abnormally rough or improper use, or unauthorised modifications which cause damage are not covered by this warranty.

Should your Volkswagen require repairs please contact the nearest authorised Volkswagen Dealer. A list of authorised Volkswagen Dealers can be found at: https://au.volkswagen.com.au/find-dealer/.

Your rights under the New Vehicle Warranty are separate and additional to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

High-voltage battery warranty for Volkswagen PHEV¹ and BEV² vehicles

1. The additional warranty for high-voltage batteries for new Volkswagen PHEV or Volkswagen BEV vehicles will be voided if the high-voltage battery is removed permanently from the new Volkswagen PHEV or the Volkswagen BEV vehicle and is no longer operated in combination with the new Volkswagen PHEV or Volkswagen BEV vehicle.

2. The additional warranty for high-voltage batteries for the new Volkswagen PHEV or Volkswagen BEV vehicle will no longer be in place if and to the extent that a malfunction, a loss of net battery energy capacity, or damage to the high-voltage battery is the result of an accident.

3. Volkswagen Group Australia consents to the assignment of any claim arising from the warranty for high-voltage batteries for the new Volkswagen PHEV or Volkswagen BEV vehicle in the event of the sale of the new Volkswagen PHEV or Volkswagen BEV vehicle by the warranty to a new purchaser. Upon such assignment, to the extent permitted by law, the original warrantee will not be able to make any new claims arising from the warranty. The new purchaser acquires such claim, insofar as it still exists at the time of assignment.

4. All provisions published in these terms and conditions in relation to the Volkswagen Group Australia New Vehicle Warranty also apply accordingly to the warranty for high-voltage batteries for PHEV and BEV vehicles, apart from the duration of the warranty.

Additional warranty for high-voltage batteries for Volkswagen PHEV vehicles

In addition to the Volkswagen Group Australia new vehicle warranty, Volkswagen Group Australia will offer, for the benefit of the purchaser of a new Volkswagen PHEV vehicle and in relation to the components of the high-voltage battery as listed below, a warranty for a period of eight years from the day of initial delivery of the vehicle to the first purchaser or for the first 160,000 km of the vehicle, whichever occurs first. The above Volkswagen Group Australia warranty declaration comprises exclusively and definitively all defects relating to material and labour of the following components in the high-voltage battery:

• Cell modules
• Battery housing
• Cooling elements
• Connectors for battery modules

A reduction in the net battery energy capacity during the warranty period is component-related and does not constitute a defect within the meaning of this warranty.

Additional warranty for high-voltage batteries for Volkswagen BEV vehicles

Volkswagen Group Australia provides additional warranty for the components of the high-voltage battery listed below.

This warranty will apply for a period of eight years from the initial delivery or registration to the first purchaser or for the first 160,000 km of the vehicle, whichever occurs first.

¹ Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle

² Battery electric vehicle

The above Volkswagen Group Australia warranty declaration includes exclusively and definitively all defects relating to material and labour of the following components in the high-voltage battery:

• Cell modules
• Battery housing
• Cooling elements
• Connectors for the battery modules

Regardless of any defect in the above components of the high-voltage battery, the additional warranty mentioned also covers the case where the net residual energy capacity of the battery falls below 70% relative to the energy capacity at the time of initial delivery or registration. In this case there is an entitlement to have the energy capacity of the high-voltage battery increased, as described below.

Net Battery Energy Capacity: The battery energy capacity in kWh (proof provided by measuring energy capacity) and therefore the performance of a lithium-ion high-voltage battery, will decrease over the period of use for technical reasons (natural wear and tear).

If the energy capacity measurement, carried out at an authorised Volkswagen Dealer within the warranty period (8 years/160,000 km, whichever occurs first), shows that the net battery energy capacity at a point in time as set in following table is below the 70% of the net battery energy content upon delivery/registration to the first purchaser ("initial value"). Depending on the elapsed period of use/performance of the battery, the energy content will be increased once again to the values set out below.

Note: The net battery energy content corresponds to the usable battery energy content (specified in kWh) is different from the gross battery energy content. The nominal or gross energy content of the battery is higher than the net battery energy content due to the technical nature of the system. The net battery energy content is determined by the Volkswagen Dealer by measuring the usable capacity (in Ah) during a qualified charging stroke and multiplying it by the nominal voltage of the battery.

3 years / 60,000 km – 78% of the initial value

5 years / 100,000 km – 74% of the initial value

8 years / 160,000 km – 70% of the initial value

The specified values are based on values determined at an authorised Volkswagen Dealer using diagnostic protocol as per manufacturer's specifications.

Any such loss in net battery energy capacity will be repaired free of charge for the purchaser within the warranty period, with replacement HV battery components (new or reconditioned), such that the relevant warranty value is once again in place.

Additional exclusions and restrictions for high-voltage batteries: The warranty for the high-voltage battery will not apply if; the defect or damage including excessive loss of capacity has resulted from unapproved modification to parts and or vehicle software from original specification, improper use, handling or maintenance of the battery, including a traffic accident or if the battery has come into contact with open flames or liquids such as high-pressure water or steam cleaning. This also comprises the failure to follow instructions applying to the operation, treatment and care of the charging or state of charge of the high-voltage battery described in the Owner's manual supplied with the vehicle. Exclusions also apply if the high-voltage battery has been permanently removed or is no longer operated in conjunction with the vehicle.

Notwithstanding the duration of the warranty, all general warranty conditions explained in these pages also apply.

Body and paintwork

In addition to the New Vehicle Warranty terms, body and paintwork are also warranted subject to additional conditions below:

• 3 years from the date of delivery of the vehicle to the original retail customer for new vehicles or date of first registration by the dealer for demonstrator vehicles against paint defects.
• 12 years (excluding Amarok vehicles) from the date of delivery of the vehicle to the original retail customer for new vehicles or date of first registration by the dealer for demonstrator vehicles against perforation rusting, occurring on the body due to defects in original materials or manufacture.
• 6 years (Amarok vehicles ONLY) from the date of delivery of the vehicle to the original retail customer for new vehicles or date of first registration by the dealer for demonstrator vehicles against perforation rusting, occurring on the body due to defects in original materials or manufacture.

Should this type of damage occur, it will be repaired free of charge for parts and labour by any authorised Volkswagen Dealership anywhere in Australia.

Warranty claims will not be accepted if:

• The damage is due to external influence, non-genuine paint products or insufficient care of the vehicle, or
• Any damage to the body or paint is not repaired promptly and appropriately in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer's requirements, or
• Perforation rusting was caused by the use of non-genuine parts for body repairs, or by the body repairs themselves.

Warranty validation

The warranty conditions outlined are only valid for vehicles sold and used in Australia. Any authorised Volkswagen Dealer can attend to any defect in original material or manufacture within the warranty period.

However, the owner of the vehicle is responsible to ensure that the vehicle is serviced in accordance with the Service Schedule. Damage of defects relating to improper service or lack of service will not be accepted under the terms of this warranty. Any consequential, direct or incidental loss or damage is not covered under the terms of this warranty. It is your responsibility to provide the vehicle for repairs.

Warranty may not apply if the following conditions exist at any time:

• If the vehicle has not been serviced and maintained as per the manufacturer's recommendations.
• If the defects are due to modifications not approved by Volkswagen Group Australia.
• If the defects are caused by abuse or negligence.
• If the vehicle has been written off by any insurance company.
• Accidents. Defects caused by work carried out by repairers other than authorised Volkswagen Dealers or approved repairers.
• If the defects are due to installation or use of non-genuine parts.
• If the vehicle has been loaded beyond the manufacturer's specifications.
• If the defect is due to the vehicle being used for purposes for which it was not designed, such as rallying, racing, hill climbing, speed trials or similar activities, towing beyond weight limits recommended by the company or all terrain use.
• Deterioration due to use and exposure and or damage/corrosion from environmental conditions such as fall-out, salt, stones, tree sap, bird droppings, hail, rain debris, flood or acts of God.
• Any defects resulting from (i) the use of inappropriate fuel, oil or lubricants, including the use of the incorrect octane rated fuel; and (ii) dirt or water in fuel, oil, coolant or other fluids.
