Volkswagen AG continually develops and improves its vehicles, systems, and technical documentation. Because of this ongoing development, design details, installed equipment, available functions, technology, dimensions, weight data, fuel consumption values, standards, and performance-related information may change after the editorial deadline for this manual. The descriptions in this Owner’s Manual reflect the information available when the document was prepared. Some features may be introduced later, may not be available in every market, or may be offered only with specific trim levels, packages, or optional equipment. For the most accurate information about a particular vehicle, contact an authorized dealer or an authorized Service Facility.

The vehicle shown in the illustrations may include optional equipment that requires an additional charge or may be available only in selected markets. Visual details, equipment combinations, and country-specific specifications can differ from the exact vehicle delivered to an owner. An authorized dealer can explain the equipment differences that apply in your country or region. The information, illustrations, and descriptions in this manual are provided for guidance and do not create legal obligations or binding commitments.

No part of this Manual may be reprinted, reproduced, copied, translated, stored, or distributed in any form, including excerpts, without the express written permission of Volkswagen AG. This applies to printed, digital, and translated versions of the document.

About this Owner's Manual

This Owner's Manual applies to all models and versions of the identified model and model year. It describes the full range of equipment and functions that may be available for the model line, without always identifying special equipment, optional packages, market-specific versions, or later software-related changes. As a result, the manual may include descriptions of equipment that is not installed in your vehicle or functions that are available only in certain countries.

Details about the actual equipment installed in your Volkswagen Taos can be found in the sales documentation, vehicle data, window sticker, or by contacting an authorized dealer or authorized Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends using an authorized service point when you need clarification about installed equipment, replacement parts, service manual information, troubleshooting, component location, reset procedures, or repair instructions.

This Owner's Manual describes a passenger vehicle intended for normal road use. Some instructions may also refer to safety-related limits, maintenance requirements, towing precautions, and operating conditions that should be followed to reduce wear and help avoid damage.

All information in this Owner's Manual was correct at the time of printing. Due to continuous vehicle development, software updates, technical improvements, and market-specific requirements, your vehicle may differ from certain descriptions, specifications, images, or instructions in this manual. No legal commitment can be derived from the information, illustrations, or descriptions provided.

Due to legal, technical, and market requirements, the vehicle may be supplied with different Owner's Manual versions depending on the country. Always use the manual version that corresponds to your vehicle, model year, market, and equipment level whenever possible.

Printed Owner's Manual

The printed Owner's Manual describes the vehicle’s range of functions at the time of publication. Later additions, corrections, or updated instructions may be supplied in the form of supplements. Keep these supplements together with the printed manual, because they may contain updated safety instructions, equipment explanations, maintenance information, troubleshooting notes, or revised operating procedures.

An alphabetical keyword index and a list of abbreviations are included to make the printed manual easier to use. These sections help owners quickly find explanations for technical terms, warning messages, symbols, system names, dashboard indicators, and service-related designations.

Make sure that the printed documents remain in the vehicle if you sell, lend, or transfer the car to another person. Volkswagen also recommends resetting the Infotainment system to factory settings before selling or transferring the vehicle so that stored personal data, paired phones, navigation destinations, user profiles, and connected service information are deleted.
