NOTICE TO VERMONT PURCHASERS Dear Purchaser. At the time of delivery of your new Volkswagen, you will receive a Notice of Your Rights under the Lemon Law in the form below, together with a stamped self-addressed notice, sufficient for you to notify us of your election to proceed under the law.

NOTICE TO CONSUMER STATE OF VERMONT MOTOR VEHICLE ARBITRATION BOARD

If, during the express warranty period, you discover a defect which substantially impairs the use, market value or safety of this vehicle, and it has not been successfully repaired after three repair attempts by an authorized dealer, or it has been out of service for repair for a cumulative total of thirty (30) calendar days, you may be entitled to apply for a comparable replacement or refund of purchase price less certain allowances. In order for a repair attempt to qualify, you must obtain a written repair order.

The vehicle is deemed to be out of service if it is in repair for a majority of the day. You may not use the Lemon Law if you elect to use the manufacturer's dispute settlement mechanism. You may not use the Lemon Law if you have stopped making payments on any financing agreement because of the vehicle's condition. The Vermont Motor Vehicle Arbitration Program includes other eligibility requirements which you must meet to qualify. Forms for the Vermont Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board should be included with your new vehicle upon delivery. For information as to your rights under the Lemon Law or for forms, contact the Vermont Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board, 118 State Street, Montpelier, Vermont 05602, telephone 1 (802) 828-2669, or your dealer.
