WARNING
Contact with parts of the vehicle interior can cause serious
personal injury in a crash.
Always make sure that all vehicle occupants stay in a proper
seating position and are properly restrained whenever the vehi-
cle is moving.
Improper seating positions increase the risk of serious and
fatal injury, especially when an airbag deploys and strikes a
passenger in an improper seating position.
Proper seating position

Fig. 43 The driver should never sit closer than 10 inches (25 cm) of
the steering wheel.

Fig. 44 Proper safety belt positioning and head restraint adjustment.

Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with your
hands at other places inside the steering wheel rim or on the steering
wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way can cause seri-
ous injuries to the hands, arms, and head if the driver's airbag in-
flates.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering wheel cover points at
your chest and not at your face. Pointing the steering wheel toward
your face decreases the ability of the driver's airbag to help protect
you in a collision.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the pedals all
the way to the floor while keeping your knee(s) slightly bent.
Adjust the seat height so that the top point of the steering wheel
can be reached.
Always keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in control of
the vehicle at all times.
Passenger - front seat adjustment:
Push the passenger seat as far back as possible in order to ensure
optimum protection if the airbag is deployed.

Adjusting the steering wheel position

WARNING
Improper use of the steering column adjustment feature can
result in serious personal injury and even death.
Always pull the lever (1) firmly upward after adjusting the
steering column so that the steering wheel does not change
position suddenly while the vehicle is moving.
Never adjust the steering column while the vehicle is moving.
If you find that you need to adjust the steering wheel while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle in a safe place and make the proper ad-
justment.
Never adjust the steering wheel so that it points toward your
face. Always make sure that the steering wheel points toward
your chest. Otherwise, the airbag system cannot protect you
properly in the event of a crash.
Always hold the steering wheel on the outside of the steering
wheel rim with your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions to help reduce the risk of serious personal injury if the
driver's airbag inflates.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or
with your hands anywhere inside the steering wheel or on the
steering wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way
increases the risk of severe injury to the arms, hands, and head
if the driver airbag deploys.

mation System. If your vehicle is not equipped with the Lights & Vi-
sion menu, the convenience turn signal feature can be deactivated
by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Ser-
vice Facility.
WARNING
Improper use of high beams can distract and blind others,
causing accidents and serious injuries.
The turn signal light works only when the ignition is switched on.
The emergency flasher works even when the ignition is switched off
⇒  In an emergency.
The indicator light flashes twice as fast if a turn signal bulb is
burned out.
High beams can only be switched on when the low beams are on.
Switching lights on and off

Fig. 86 Headlight switch next to the steering wheel. A: Vehicles with
fog lights. B: Vehicles without fog lights.

If the light switch is in position !54/, a low-light sensor switches the
low beams as well as the instrument and switch lighting on and off
automatically.
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.

The delay period can be adjusted in 10 second intervals and the
function can be switched on and off in the Lights & Vision menu ⇒ 
Volkswagen Information System.
If the “Coming home” feature is switched on and the driver door is
opened, no warning chime will sound to alert you that the lights are
still on.

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.

Secure luggage in the luggage compartment using suitable straps
and the tie downs ⇒ Tie-downs. Also see ⇒  Luggage compartment.
Adjust the headlight range, if necessary ⇒  Lights.
Check the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold. Never
reduce air pressure in warm tires to match cold tire inflation pressure.
Heed the information on the tire pressure label ⇒  Tires and wheels.
Pay especially close attention to your vehicle's Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System when driving with a heavy load ⇒ Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS).
NOTICE
Wires in the rear windows such as for heating or for an antenna
can be damaged by objects that rub against them.
