The sun is rising.

01 04 The multilayered textile hoodof the New Beetle Cabriolet can be

opened and closed both quickly and

easily. When closed, its taut fit is a

particularly impressive element of the

cars design, creating an atmosphere

where outside noises can barely be

heard. It even features a glass, heated

rear screen. The choice of fine quality

materials and the highest standards

of workmanship help ensure the

hoods exceptional durability

against abrasion, the weather and

even the brushes of a carwash.

05 The tailored hood covercompletesthe unique silhouette of the New

Beetle Cabriolet.

06 If you are travelling briskly, windbuffeting can be reduced by a wind

deflector. Available as an optional

extra, it can be fitted in seconds to

reduce air turbulence.07 Releasing the hood is simple.

Just push and twist the handle

to unlock, then leave the rest

to the electric assistance.*

08 Fitted in the centre console, thecontrol forthe powerh ood can

be easilyreached.*

As a precautionarymeasure, a hood

warning light nearthe release handle

will inform you if the hood is not

securelylocked.

* Manual hood on 1.4 litre and S models.

Simply unlock the hood and then hold the operating button as the electricallyoperated

hood glides down*. As it concertinas and folds flat, it comes to rest on the tail end. From

start to finish, this elegant operation has taken just 13 seconds. For neatness, it can thenbe tucked under the tailored hood coverthat is colour co-ordinated to the chosen

upholstery colour of yourNew Beetle Cabriolet. Beautyneednt affect functionality.

Model shown is 2.0 litre.

01 Keep your distance. Forextra safety when braking, the third brake light

provides a clearindication of your

actions to following vehicles.

02 In a potentiallydangerous situation,the Electronic Stabilisation Programme

(ESP) will intervene to diffuse the

problem. Through the brake and

engine management systems, it will

specifically slow down individual

wheels forgreater stability. However,

this enhanced system should not

lead to carelessness, because ESPcannot defyt he laws of physics.

In conjunction with ESP, two other

systems are in force to provide

improved roadholding and safety.

They are Electronic Differential Lock

(EDL) and Traction Control (ASR)

a formidable combination to help

the vehicles stabilityand grip on

pooror wet surfaces.

03 In order to retain steering controlduring heavy braking, whether on

slipperyor dryroads, the New Beetle

Cabriolet is fitted with ABS brakes

as standard. It is complemented by

Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution

(EBD), which operates optimally

on all fourwheels to clearlyreduce

braking distances.

04 Via the central locking switch locatedin the drivers door, you can lock both

doors and the boot from the inside in

one easy action.05 The rolloverprotection system is

hidden behind the rearbackrests.

Through intelligent electronic sensors,

the possibilityof a rollover or impact

will be detected and immediate action

taken. Within milliseconds the rollover

bars will eject and, together with the

reinforced windscreen frame, provide

protection to passengers.

The connection between freedom and safety.

When you scrutinise the New Beetle Cabriolet, youll notice that theres no rollover bar to

obstruct the view of the clear blue sky but you can rest assured, its there if you need it.

At the slightest hint of a roll or impact, rollover bars eject from the rear backrests and together

with a reinforced windscreen frame provide exceptional protection to passengers. Likewise,

only symbols indicate the other exemplarysafety features. In addition to front airbags

(passengers front airbag can be deactivated if required), the driverand front passenger have

the reassurance of side airbags, an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) for exceptionalroadholding on pooror wet surfaces and front active head restraints which help lower the

risk of whiplash injuries in the event of an accident.

In fact, there are numerous electronic features that are constantly monitoring and assessing

the driving situation and they are readyto react in milliseconds should the need arise.

We believe that prevention is the safest form of protection. And when you feel safe, you can

enjoy the freedom of a cabriolet even more.

With a car as desirable as a New Beetle Cabriolet security is also important, so an electronic

engine immobiliser is fitted as standard.

Advanced engineering.

Over the years, Volkswagen has been at the forefront of engine design, developing

an envious reputation fortechnical innovation. Our engines achieve our focused

objectives to offer the perfect combination of performance, fuel efficiency* and

environmental awareness.

The petrol engines:The New Beetle Cabriolet is available with a choice of four petrol engines. The range

starts with a 4 cylinder, 1.4 litre unit that develops 75 PS. With its smooth running,

its ideal forrelaxed open-top cruising. If youd prefer a powerboost and similar

acceleration, then the 1.6 litre 102 PS may be for you. Maybe the refinement of the

2.0 litre 115 PS is more to your taste an engine capable of taking the New Beetle

Cabriolet to 115 mph where the law permits. Finally theres our top-of-the-range

petrol engine a turbocharged 1.8 litre producing a superb 150 PS and giving

exceptional performance. Whicheverengi ne you choose its reassuring to know

theyve all been developed with fuel efficiency* and low exhaust emissions in mind,

and all conform to EU4 emissions regulations.

The diesel engine: Available for the New Beetle Cabriolet is the 1.9 litre TDI 100 PS which also

conforms to EU4 emissions regulations and combines low fuel consumption*

and CO 2 emissions with high powerout put.

The gearbox: All engines of the New Beetle Cabriolet are equipped with a five speed manual

gearbox, characterised by a smoothness of operation and powerful acceleration.

Alternatively, on the 2.0 litre model, you could opt for a six speed automatic tiptronic.

With this innovative transmission you have the best of both worlds. When you fancy

the involvement of a manual, you can change gearby a simple tipping action of the

gearlever forwards or backwards. Should you be faced with citytraffic, you can then

rely on the automatic function for more relaxed driving. The automatic gearbox even

has several mode functions that interpret your driving style, so should you be

accelerating hard it will recognise this and amend the shift pattern accordingly.

* Please see the individual specifications in this section for fuel consumptionand CO 2 emissions figures.

01 A slick, five speed manualgearbox is standard on all

New Beetle Cabriolet models.

02 Ideal forcruising: the 1.4 litre75 PS petrol engine.

03 Performance minded:the 1.8 litre turbo generates

an impressive 150 PS.

consumption calculation according to 1999/100/EC is based on t heactual unladen weight of the vehicle. Additional specifications canlead to a higher weight class and hence to consumption figures ofthis higher weight class. The driving style, road and traffic conditions,environmental influences and vehicle condition can in practice leadto consumption figures, which maydi ffer from those calculated withthis standard.

07) The weight of a vehicle will influence the level of CO 2 emission itproduces; as a result, vehicles with higher levels of specification andfactory-fitted options may emit higherlevels of CO 2 . The CO 2 figurequoted for each vehicle is the maximum possible. The unladen weightof the vehicle is calculated by range at the time of manufacture andthe maximum possible CO 2 emission for that weight range is appliedaccording to the Council Directive 80/1268EEC as amended by Commission Directive 1999/100/EC on the approximation of thelaws of the member states relating to the carbon dioxide emissionsand the fuel consumption of motor vehicles.

The Volkswagen Warranty.Three-year Warranty. All Volkswagen New Beetle Cabriolets come with a

three-year/60,000 miles warranty, which protects your

car against the failure of most mechanical and electrical

components due to manufacturing defects. This

comprises a two-year manufacturers warranty withunlimited mileage plus a furtherone-year/60,000 miles

(whichever is soonest) RetailerWarranty. Should the

mileage exceed 60,000 miles within the first two years,

the manufacturers two-year warranty will still be valid.

If an additional warranty forsubsequent years orhigher

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 60,000. Full details of the three-year

warranty are available from your authorised Volkswagen

retailer or repairer.

Three-year Paint Warranty.The paintwork of the New Beetle Cabriolet is covered

against manufacturing defects for a period of three years.

Service Intervals for Petrol and Diesel Engines. Volkswagen has always been dedicated to protecting the

environment. Thats why the New Beetle Cabriolet comes

with a LongLife Service regime.As a result of longer service

intervals the engine oil requirement can be significantly

reduced over the vehicles total life, which results in less

waste oil to dispose of and reduces the burden on theenvironment.

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 31,000 miles* or 24 months (whicheveri s

soonest). The Service Interval Displayin 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 enjoyreliable andconfident motoring for up to a maximum of 31,000 miles*

or 24 months (whichever is soonest).

If you would like a more traditional service regime the

vehicle can be adapted byyour 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.

* The maximum of 31,000 miles is for diesel engines

petrol engines have a maximum of 18,000 miles or

24 months (whichever is soonest). All mileages are

approximate as the system uses kilometres as the

distance measure.
