Dynamic headlight range adjustment
In some vehicles with HID (Xenon) headlights, the headlight range is
automatically adjusted to the vehicle loading condition once the low
beams are switched on ⇒ .
WARNING
Headlights that are aimed too high because of the way the ve-
hicle is loaded can blind and distract other drivers. This can
lead to a crash and serious personal injuries.
Always make sure the headlights are adjusted to loading
conditions so that they do not blind others.
WARNING
If dynamic headlight range adjustment does not work properly
or at all, the headlights could blind and distract other drivers.
This can lead to a crash and serious personal injuries.
Have headlight range adjustment checked immediately by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility.
Interior and reading lights

Button Function
s
Door contact switch - center position.
Interior lights go on automatically when the vehicle is un-
locked, a door is opened, or the vehicle key is removed
from the ignition.
The lights go out about 20 seconds after you close the
doors. They also go out when you lock the vehicle or switch
on the ignition.
*
Reading light on or off.


Glove and luggage compartment lights
The glove and luggage compartments may have lights that come on
automatically when they are opened and go off when they are closed.
Background lighting
When the ignition and headlights are switched on, the background
lighting in the roof console lights up.
There may also be lighting in the footwells and on the inside door trim
and door handle recesses.
The interior and reading lights go out when you lock the vehicle
or a few minutes after you remove the vehicle key from the ignition.
This helps to prevent unnecessary drain on the vehicle battery.

Wiper performance in different situations:
During automatic
wipe/wash:
While the washer system is working, the
Climatronic switches to recirculation for
about 30 seconds to help prevent the
washer fluid odor from entering the vehi-
cle interior.
During intermittent
wiping:
Speed-dependent interval control: The
higher the vehicle speed, the faster the
wipers move.

Heated washer nozzles
The heating thaws frozen washer nozzles, but not the fluid supply
hoses. When the ignition is switched on, the heat applied to the
washer nozzles is automatically regulated depending on the outside
air temperature.
Headlight washer system
The headlight washer system cleans the headlight glass.
If the ignition and the headlights (high or low beams) are switched on,
the headlights are cleaned the first time and every fifth time the front
windshield washers are activated. This happens only when the low or
high beams are on when the windshield wiper lever is pulled towards
the steering wheel. However, the headlights must still be washed by
hand periodically (for instance, during refueling) in order to get rid of
hard-to-remove dirt (like insect splatter).
To help make sure that the headlight cleaning system works during
winter weather, always keep the headlight washer nozzles free of
snow and remove any ice with a deicer spray before driving. Use a
deicer spray to remove any ice.
If there is something on the windshield, the wiper will try to wipe it
away. If it continues to block the wiper, the wiper will stop moving.
Remove the obstacle and switch the wiper on again.

(2) Switch
(3) Sensor for recognizing entry of light
The auto-dimming feature can be switched on and off with the switch
on the inside mirror (2) A or (2) B. When auto-dimming is activated,
the indicator light (1) is on.
If the ignition is switched on, the sensor (3) automatically darkens the
inside mirror depending on the amount of light shining into the vehicle
from the rear.
The auto-dimming feature is deactivated when you shift the transmis-
sion into reverse or switch on the interior lights or the reading light.
Do not attach external navigation devices to the windshield or in the
vicinity of the auto-dimming inside mirror ⇒ .
WARNING
The illuminated display on an external navigation device can
cause the auto-dimming inside mirror to malfunction, which
can result in crashes and serious injuries.
Malfunctions in the auto-dimming function can result in the
inside mirror being unable to evaluate the exact distance of ve-
hicles in the rear or other objects.
If the light striking the sensor is filtered or blocked (such as by a
sunshade), the auto-dimming inside mirror will not work properly or
may not work at all.
