ass is t tempt you Into taking any risks when
driving . The system is not a substitute
for the
full concentration of the driver.
• Always check the lights yourself and ad
just them to the prevailing conditions for
lights, vision and road traffic .
• The main beam assist or automatic main
beam assist may not
be able to detect all
driving situations correctly and may not work
properly in certain situations.
A WARNING (Continued)
• If the camera's field of view is dirty, cov
ered or damaged, the function of the main
beam assist and automatic main beam assist
may
be impaired. This also applies if changes
are made
to the vehicle's lighting system, for
example if additional headlights are fitted.
(Dt
Please observe the following points in order to
avoid impairing the proper function of the sys
tem:
• Regularly clean the camera's field of view,
and keep it free from snow and ice.
• Do not cover the camera's field of view.
• Check the area of the windscreen that is in
the camera's field
of view for damage.

come frozen onto the windscreen. Volkswagen
recommends using a de-icer spray for this.

Fig. 90 Sensitive surface of the rain sensor
Changes to the functioning of the rain
sensor
Possible causes for faults and misinterpretations
concerning the sensitive surface~ Fig. 90 of the
rain sensor include:
• Damaged wiper blades: a film of water or
smears caused by damaged wiper blades
can in
crease the length of time for which the wipers are
switched on, shorten the length of the intervals be
tween wipes, or cause the wipers to run continu
ously.
• Insects: insects hitting the surface can cause
the wipers to be activated.
• Salt deposits : in winter, salt deposits can cause
the wiper to continue to wipe the windscreen when
it is almost dry.
• Soiling : dry dust, wax, windscreen coatings (lo·
tus effect) or detergent deposits (automatic car
wash) can cause the rain sensor to become less
sensitive and react too slowly or even not at all.
• Crack
in the windscreen : when the windscree~
is impacted by a stone, a wash cycle is triggered If ....
