WARNING
Driving with bad brakes can cause a collision and serious per-
sonal injury.
If the brake warning light "2!+% or H does not go out, or
comes on when driving, either the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is too low or there is a fault in the brake system. Stop the
vehicle as soon as you can do so safely and get expert assis-
tance ⇒  Brake fluid.
If the brake warning light "2!+% or H comes on at the same
time as the ABS warning light !"3 or J, the ABS may not be
working properly. This could cause the rear wheels to lock up
relatively quickly during braking. Rear wheel brake lock-up can
cause loss of vehicle control.
If you believe the vehicle is safe to drive, drive slowly and
very carefully to the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer, au-
thorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or other qualified work-
shop and have the brake system inspected. Avoid sudden hard
braking and steering.
If the ABS indicator light !"3 or J does not go out, or if it
comes on while driving, the ABS system is not working proper-
ly. The vehicle can then be stopped only with the standard
brakes (without ABS). You will not have the protection ABS
provides. Contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer or an au-
thorized Volkswagen Service Facility as soon as possible.
If the symbol "2!+% 7%!2 or I lights up in the instrument clus-
ter display, whether alone or together with a text message, im-
mediately contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or author-
ized Volkswagen Service Facility to have the brake pads
checked and, if necessary, replaced.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in
vehicle damage.

following other vehicles too closely) – especially during the break-in
period.
Brake pad wear depends mostly on operating conditions and the
way the vehicle is driven. If you do a lot of city and short-distance
driving and/or have a sporty driving style, you should have the brake
pads checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility more often than the regular service inter-
vals.
Wet brakes (for example, after driving through water or washing the
vehicle or after heavy rainfall) will not brake as well. Stopping dis-
tances will be longer when brake discs are wet or, in winter, even icy.
Wet or icy brakes must be dried as soon as possible by carefully ap-
plying the brakes a couple of times while traveling at a relatively high
speed. Make sure nobody is behind you and that you do not endan-
ger yourself or others ⇒ .
Brakes coated with road salt also react slower and need longer
stopping distances. If there is salt on the roads and you are not brak-
ing regularly, brake carefully and gently from time to time to remove
any salt coating from the brake discs and pads ⇒ .
Brake disc corrosion (rust) and dirt buildup on the brake pads are
more likely to occur if the vehicle is not driven much or is driven only
for short distances with little braking. If the brakes have not been
used and there is some rust on the discs, clean the brake discs and
pads once in a while by carefully braking a couple of times while driv-
ing at relatively high speed to help clean the brake discs and pads.
Make sure nobody is behind you and that you do not endanger your-
self or others ⇒ .
Brake system malfunction
If you brake and find that the vehicle doesn't brake nearly as well as it
used to (sudden increase in stopping distance), a brake circuit may
have failed. The brake warning light H or "2!+% will come on and a
message may appear in the instrument cluster display. If you believe
the vehicle is safe to drive, immediately take it to the nearest author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for
repair. Drive slowly and very carefully, allow for the longer stopping
distance, and be ready to push longer and harder on the brake pedal
to slow the vehicle down.

WARNING
Using the cruise control when it is not possible to drive safely
at a constant speed can be dangerous and can lead to an acci-
dent and serious personal injuries.
Never use cruise control when driving in heavy or varying
traffic or when you cannot keep a safe distance between you
and the vehicles ahead of you.
Never use cruise control on steep, winding, or slippery roads
(such gravel roads, wet roads, or snowy or icy roads) or on
roads with standing water.
Never use cruise control when driving off-road or on unpaved
roads.
Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between
you and the vehicles ahead of you to the road, traffic, weather,
and visibility conditions.
To help prevent unintended operation of cruise control,
switch the system off when it is not being used.
It is dangerous to use the Resume feature when the previous-
ly set speed is too high for the existing road, traffic, or weather
conditions.
When going downhill, the cruise control may not be able to
maintain a constant speed. The vehicle will speed up because
of its own weight. Downshift and/or use the foot brake to slow
the vehicle.

When the ignition is switched on, several warning and indicator lights
come on briefly for a function check. They go out after a few seconds.
WARNING
Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text mes-
sages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result
in a collision and serious personal injury.
Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in
vehicle damage.

NOTICE
The camera shows only two-dimensional images on the
screen. Due to the lack of depth of field, it may be difficult or im-
possible to identify protruding objects or recesses in the road,
for example.
Things like thin rods, fences, posts, and trees may not be de-
tected by the camera and could damage the vehicle.
Operation

Fig. 152 In the luggage compartment lid: Location of the Rear Assist
camera.

Fig. 153 Display of the Rear Assist: Mode 2 activated.

(1) Display the menu () or hide the menu (

1) Do not use Rear Assist in the following situations:
– If the area behind the vehicle cannot be seen clearly or complete-
ly.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When the luggage compartment lid is open.
– If the driver is not familiar with the system.
– If the position or angle of the camera has changed, such as after a
rear-end collision. Have the system checked by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.


2) Examples of optical distortion by the camera:
The Rear Assist camera displays only two-dimensional images. Re-
cesses and protruding objects on the ground or protruding parts on
other vehicles are difficult or impossible to identify due to the lack of
depth of field.
Objects or another vehicle may seem closer or farther away on the
screen than they really are:
– When driving from a level surface onto an upward or downward
slope.
– When driving up or down a slope onto a level surface.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When approaching protruding objects. These objects can disap-
pear from the field of view when backing up.

Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice:
Engage the parking brake.
Switch on the ignition.

When a turn signal is set, unnecessary lines and areas are hidden.
Orientation lines overview
Meaning of the orientation lines and areas projected on screen
⇒ fig. 155. All distances of the orientation lines refer to a vehicle on a
level surface.
(1) Red: Safety distance. Area up to about 16 inches (40 cm) behind
the vehicle on the road.
(2) Vehicle's width limits.
(3) Point to change steering angle.
When the yellow line touches the curb or any other parking
space boundary, the steering wheel must be turned in the oppo-
site direction (close-up view).
(4) The area parallel to the vehicle that is needed for parking. The
area shown must fit completely into the parking space.
(5) Parked vehicle at the curb.
Parking
Position the vehicle about 3 feet (1 meter) away from and parallel
to the parking space and shift into Reverse.
On the screen of the navigation system, activate Mode 2 for paral-
lel parking.
Back up slowly and steer the vehicle so that the yellow surface on
the screen is flush with the side boundary of the parking space (such
as the curb) and stops short of any obstacle (5), such as another ve-
hicle.
Turn the steering wheel as far as it will go into the direction of the
parking space and slowly back up.
Once the yellow line (3) touches the side of the parking space, for
example, a marking or the curb (close-up view), turn the steering
wheel as far as it will go in the opposite direction.
Continue backing up until the vehicles is positioned in the parking
space parallel to the road. If necessary, correct the parking position.
It may take up to 5 seconds for the area detected by the sensors
to be displayed on the factory-installed radio or navigation system
screen.

In order to Operation
view camera dis-
play (if equipped): OR: Tap the function key Z or 26# on the dis-
play.

The indicator light in the button  ⇒ fig. 157 comes on and stays on
as long as the feature is active.
A chime sounds to tell you that the system is on. If the chime does
not sound, PDC is not working. Have the system inspected by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.
Special considerations when using Park Distance Control
In some cases, the Park Distance Control interprets water and ice
on the sensors as an obstacle.
If the distance remains the same, the warning tone volume de-
creases after a few seconds. If a continuous tone sounds, its volume
remains the same.
If the vehicle moves away from the obstacle, the beeping sound
stops automatically. The beep turns on again automatically if the ve-
hicle approaches the obstacle again.
For vehicles with automatic transmissions, there is no beeping
when the transmission is in Park (P) and the electronic parking brake
is engaged.
The volume of the audible signals can be adjusted by an author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facili-
ty.
Muting the Park Distance Control volume
You can mute the PDC beeping signals by tapping the  function
key on the Radio or Navigation system screen (if applicable). Tap the
function key again to reactivate the acoustic signals.
Switching Park Distance Control back on after it was switched off re-
activates the volume. System malfunction warning signals cannot be
switched off.
If you manually deactivate the display, PDC remains on and the
sound is reactivated.

WARNING
Operating fluids and some materials in the engine compartment
can catch fire easily, causing burns and other serious personal
injuries!
Never smoke near the engine compartment.
Never work next to open flames or sparks.
Never pour or spill operating fluids or other flammable liq-
uids on the engine. These fluids can ignite on hot engine parts
and cause injuries.
If work on the fuel system or the electrical system is neces-
sary:
– Always disconnect the 12 Volt vehicle battery. Make sure
the vehicle is unlocked when you disconnect the battery, or
the alarm will go off. Never touch the electrical wiring of the
ignition system.
– Never work near heaters, water heaters, or other open
flames.
Always have a functional, approved fire extinguisher nearby.
NOTICE
When changing or topping off fluids, make sure that you pour
the fluids into the correct reservoirs. Adding the wrong type of
operating fluids will cause serious malfunctions and engine
damage.
Fluid leaks and spills are harmful to the environment. Regularly
check the ground underneath your vehicle for this reason. If you find
spots of oil or other fluids, have your vehicle checked by your author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Dispose of leaked operating fluids properly.
