The Volkswagen warranty.
Three-year warranty.
All Volkswagen Caravelles come with a three-year/100,000 miles warranty, which protects your vehicle against the failure
of most mechanical and electrical components due to manufacturing defects. This comprises a two-year manufacturer’s
warranty with unlimited mileage plus a further one-year/100,000 miles (whichever is soonest) retailer warranty. Should
the mileage exceed 100,000 miles within the first two years, the manufacturer’s two-year warranty will still be valid. If an
additional warranty for subsequent years or higher mileage is desired, it may be purchased from an authorised Volkswagen
retailer* or repairer; however, this additional warranty must be purchased before the mileage reaches 100,000. Full details of
the three-year warranty are available from your authorised Volkswagen retailer* or repairer.
Three-year Paint warranty.
The paintwork of the Caravelle is covered against manufacturing defects for a period of three years. Naturally, the Caravelle
must be cared for in compliance with the operating instructions which will be found in your owner’s handbook.
Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer* or repairer for full warranty details.
12-year Body Protection warranty.
The internal body sections and panels of the Caravelle are covered against rusting through from the inside for 12 years.
Naturally, the Caravelle must be cared for in compliance with the operating instructions. Please consult your authorised
Volkswagen retailer* or repairer for full warranty details.
Service intervals for Petrol and Diesel Engines.
Volkswagen has always been dedicated to protecting the environment. That’s why all Caravelles come with a LongLife
service regime. As a result of longer service intervals the engine oil requirement can be significantly reduced over the
vehicle’s total life, which results in less waste oil to dispose of and reduces the burden on the environment.
The LongLife service regime is so called because there are no set service intervals. The interval between services,
depending on how you drive your vehicle and the conditions of use, can be anywhere from 9,000 miles up to a maximum
of approximately 18,000 miles or 24 months (whichever comes first). The Service Interval Display in the instrument panel
will indicate when a service is required.
This LongLife service regime has been made possible due to the development of new Volkswagen engines with the latest
technically advanced long-life oils. These engines use built-in sensors that continually monitor the oil quality, making it
possible to enjoy reliable and confident motoring.
If you would like a more traditional service regime the Caravelle can be adapted by your authorised Volkswagen retailer*
or repairer to the Time/Distance regime. This can be done at the point of vehicle sale or when an inspection service is
carried out. An oil change is required at every 10,000 miles on the Time/Distance regime.
All mileages are approximate as the system uses kilometres as the distance measure. Please consult your authorised
Volkswagen retailer* or repairer for full details.
Volkswagen service for your peace of mind.

Approved Accessories.
A comprehensive range of accessories from alloy wheels to carpet mats is available to complement the factory fitted
option list. Volkswagen approved accessories purchased from and fitted by your authorised Volkswagen retailer* at
the point of vehicle sale will also benefit from the three-year vehicle warranty.
Volkswagen Insurance.
Competitive insurance premiums are available to Volkswagen owners through Volkswagen Insurance Service (Great Britain)
Limited. Volkswagen Insurance guarantees that all repair work is undertaken by an authorised Volkswagen retailer or
repairer. For a quotation, telephone Linkline on 0845 600 8006.

CO
2
Emission.
The weight of a vehicle will influence the level of CO
2
emission it produces; as a result, vehicles with higher levels of
specification and factory fitted options may emit higher levels of CO
2
.
The CO
2
figure quoted for each vehicle is the maximum possible. The unladen weight of the vehicle is calculated by range at
the time of manufacture and the maximum possible CO
2
emission for that weight range is applied according to the Council
Directive 80/1268EEC as amended by Commission Directive 1999/100/EC on the approximation of the laws of the member
states relating to the carbon dioxide emissions and the fuel consumption of motor vehicles.
Please note: Some of the vehicles shown are fitted with optional equipment at extra charge. All data given and
specifications are in accordance with information available at the time of going to print and are subject to change
without notice. Vehicles not in current UK stock and customer order vehicles may take a number of weeks for delivery.
Certain combinations of vehicle specifications and factory fitted extras are not compatible and therefore all orders
received are subject to confirmation. Please check details and availability with an appropriate authorised Volkswagen
retailer at the time of ordering. The Volkswagen Caravelle is available through participating Volkswagen Van Centres
and participating Volkswagen passenger car retailers.
