Daytime running lights (DRL) parking feature
Some models are equipped with a daytime running lights (DRL) park-
ing feature that switches the daytime running lights off when the vehi-
cle is parked and the ignition is switched on.

Function Action
Switching the DRL off: – Switch the ignition on.
– Turn the light switch to the /
position.
– Set the parking brake.
Switching the DRL back on: – Release the parking brake.

Static cornering lights
Your vehicle may have fog lights under the front bumper, which on
some models are also static cornering lights. On some models the
static cornering lights may be integrated in the headlights. At speeds
below about 25 mph (40 km/h), the light on one side of the vehicle will
come on automatically when you turn a corner. If you turn to the right,
the right fog light comes on; turn left and the left fog light comes on.
The light dims and goes out when the steering wheel is straightened
out again.
When you move the selector lever to Reverse (R), the static cornering
lights on both sides of the vehicle may come on so that you can see
the area around the vehicle better when backing up.
The static cornering lights work only when the headlights are on. If
you are using automatic headlight control (headlight switch in the !54/
position ⇒ fig. 86), they work only when the headlights have been
automatically switched on. The static cornering lights do not come on
when the headlight switch is in the / position or when the fog lights
themselves have been switched on ⇒ Switching lights on and off.

Automatic headlight control (!54/)
Automatic headlight control is a convenience feature only and cannot
always recognize all lighting and driving situations.
If the light switch is in the !54/ position, both vehicle lighting and in-
strument and switch lighting are automatically switched on and off in
the following situations ⇒ :

Automatic activation: Automatic deactivation:
If the low-light sensor registers
darkness, for example when driv-
ing through a tunnel.
If sufficient brightness is regis-
tered.
If the rain sensor recognizes rain
and switches the windshield wip-
ers on.
If the windshield wipers have not
moved for several minutes.

Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
The Adaptive Front Lighting System works only with the low beams
switched on and only at speeds above about 6 mph (10 km/h). The
swivel-mounted lamps automatically improve road illumination during
cornering.
On vehicles equipped with the Adaptive Front Lighting System, the
feature is switched on and off via the Assistants menu in the instru-
ment cluster display ⇒ Volkswagen Information System.

Screw in the wheel bolts clockwise and tighten them slightly using
the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle.
Lower the vehicle with the jack.
Use the lug wrench to firmly tighten all wheel bolts (turn clockwise)
⇒ . Do not tighten them in sequence! Tighten any wheel bolt to
begin, then tighten the wheel bolt diagonally opposite the first bolt,
and so forth.
Install the wheel bolt caps, center wheel hubcap, or wheel cover, if
any ⇒  Wheel trim.
WARNING
Wheel bolts that are tightened or installed improperly can come
loose, causing loss of vehicle control, a crash, and serious per-
sonal injury.
Always keep wheel bolts and threads in the wheel hub clean
and free of oil and grease. The wheel bolts must turn easily and
must be tightened with the right torque.
Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle only to
turn the wheel bolts when they are loose, never to loosen them
or tighten them firmly.
WARNING
Improper use of a compact spare wheel can cause loss of vehi-
cle control, a crash or other accident, and serious personal in-
jury.
Never use a compact spare wheel if it is damaged or worn
down to the wear indicators.
Never drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) with a compact
spare wheel. Avoid full-throttle acceleration, heavy braking, and
fast cornering!
Never drive more than 125 miles (200 km) with a compact
spare wheel that is installed on the front axle (drive axle).
Replace the compact spare with a normal wheel and tire as
soon as possible. Compact spare tires are designed for brief
use only.

WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents
and serious personal injuries.
Always review and follow the checklist. Follow accepted safe-
ty practices and use common sense.
NOTICE
Always insert and remove lamps carefully to help prevent dam-
age to the vehicle paint or to other parts of the vehicle.
