Car Net Security & Service

There for you whenever you need it. You can count on us.

The “Emergency Call Service” helps you in an emergency situation. In serious accidents, for instance, where airbags are activated, help is called automatically. If your Volkswagen registers an accident, the service will establish a connection to the Volkswagen emergency call centre and transmit important information to the first responders. You can also call for help manually at the touch of a button.

• Communicates relevant data to the Volkswagen Emergency Call Centre in order to ensure prompt medical attention
• Ensures personal support until help arrives
• Can be used to call for help if other road users are involved in an accident
• Is active as soon as you receive your vehicle - no registration required

It’s reassuring when your vehicle does a self-check

The Vehicle Health Report provides information on your vehicle’s current status, for instance, before you leave on a trip. It lists existing alerts and due or overdue scheduled maintenance and saves these. In addition, it displays the current status of your driver assistance systems. 

• Creates automatic reports after a pre-determined period or distance
• Sends notifications via e-mail as soon as a vehicle report has been automatically generated.
• If a manual vehicle report is requested, it will be created as soon as the vehicle is online

Our service: Tailored to your needs

So that you can have the most fun driving while feeling safe, Volkswagen will help you schedule your service appointments. As soon as it is time for a service appointment, the data from your Volkswagen will be transmitted to your preferred authorised workshop.* You will then be contacted by your mechanic, making it easy to schedule an appointment.

• Informs you of pending service requirements
• Quickly find and select your Volkswagen authorised workshop from your myVolkswagen customer area or in the Volkswagen app

Keeping you mobile, no matter what happens

In the event of a breakdown, we’ll get to you quickly. Simply press a button in the vehicle to activate the Breakdown Call and send your location and vehicle information to the Volkswagen Call Centre.
