ESP VOLKSWAGEN CC 2016 Manual Online

Engine life is influenced by how you drive the vehicle for the first
1000 miles (1600 km). Even afterwards, driving at moderate engine
speeds, especially when the engine is cold, will tend to reduce engine
wear and help the engine to last longer and go farther. But do not
drive at an excessively low engine speed, either. Always downshift if
the engine is not running smoothly. For the first 600 miles
(1000 km):
Do not use full throttle.
Don't let the engine speed get above 2/3 the maximum speed.
Do not tow a trailer.
From 600 to 1000 miles (1000 to 1600 km): Speed may gradually
be increased to maximum permissible road and engine speed.

charged. You might also experience more dropped calls and an over-
all impaired quality of the connection.
Therefore we strongly recommend that you use your mobile tele-
phone in your vehicle only when it is properly attached to an appro-
priate cradle mounted on a base plate on the instrument panel.
Because of the large number and variety of mobile telephones on the
market and the frequency with which new models are introduced,
Volkswagen does not offer cradles for mobile telephones. Please
check with the manufacturer of the mobile telephone that you plan to
use.

WARNING
A mobile phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places
can be thrown around the inside of the vehicle during a sudden
braking maneuver, a crash or other accident and injure vehicle
occupants.
Never place or attach accessories or other objects (such as
cup holders, telephone brackets, note pads, navigation sys-
tems, large, heavy or bulky objects) on the doors, on the wind-
shield, over or near the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, backrests or between these areas and
the occupant. Such objects could cause serious injury in a col-
lision, especially if an airbag inflates.

Government regulations in the United States and Canada require that
automobiles meet specific emission regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles built for the U.S. and Canada differ from vehicles
sold in other countries.
If you plan to take your vehicle outside the continental limits of the
United States or Canada, there is the possibility that:
Unleaded fuels for vehicles with catalytic converters may not be
available.
Fuel may have a considerably lower octane rating and may cause
engine damage.
Service may be inadequate due to lack of proper service facilities,
tools or testing equipment.
Replacement parts may not be readily available.
DVD navigation systems for vehicles built for the United States and
Canada will not necessarily work in Europe, and may not work in oth-
er countries outside of North America.
NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for mechanical damage that may
result from substandard fuel or service or the unavailability of
Genuine Volkswagen parts.
Volkswagen is not responsible if the vehicle does not meet the
respective legal requirements in other countries and continents.

Lift points for the vehicle

Fig. 173 Front lift point for workshop hoist or floor jack.

Fig. 174 Rear lift point for workshop hoist or floor jack.
The vehicle may only be raised at the lift points shown in illustrations
⇒ fig. 173 and ⇒ fig. 174. If the vehicle is lifted at different points, ve-
hicle damage ⇒  and serious injuries may occur ⇒ .
Workshop hoists that use fluid cushions (receiving platforms) must
not be used for lifting the vehicle.
There are many precautions that have to be followed when lifting a
vehicle on a workshop hoist or floor jack. Do not try to lift a vehicle on
a workshop hoist or floor jack unless you have the training,
knowledge, and experience to be able to do so safely.
Information about lifting the vehicle with the vehicle jack ⇒  Lifting the
vehicle with the vehicle jack or ⇒  Lifting the vehicle with the vehicle
jack (CC R-Line), respectively.

Preparations
Set the electronic parking brake. If the electronic parking brake
cannot be set, you must find another way to help prevent the vehicle
from moving.
Switch off the ignition.
Removing the selector gate cover
Pull upward on the cover around the selector lever sleeve
⇒ fig. 182.
Slip the cover up and over the selector lever ⇒ .
Emergency release for the selector lever (Version A)
With the screwdriver from the vehicle tool kit, carefully push the
release lever ⇒ fig. 183 A in the direction of the arrow and hold it in
this position.
Press the release button in the selector lever handle and shift the
selector lever to Neutral (N).
Carefully press the selector gate cover back in place, making sure
that the electrical wiring stays in the correct position and is not
pinched or damaged.
Emergency release for the selector lever (Version B)
Push the release lever ⇒ fig. 183 B in the direction of the arrow and
hold it in this position.
Press the release button in the selector lever handle and shift the
selector lever to Neutral (N).
Carefully press the selector gate cover back in place, making sure
that the electrical wiring stays in the correct position and is not
pinched or damaged.
WARNING
Never shift the transmission out of Park (P) without first setting
the electronic parking brake. Otherwise, the vehicle can start to
roll unexpectedly, especially on hills or inclines, and cause an
accident and serious injuries.

WARNING
Changing a wheel, especially on the side of the road, can be
dangerous. To help reduce the risk of serious personal injury:
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Move
the vehicle a safe distance off the road where it is safe to
change the wheel.
Always make sure that all passengers, especially children,
are in a safe place outside the vehicle and away from the vehi-
cle and traffic (such as behind a guard rail).
Turn on the emergency flashers and set up another warning
device about 25 yards (25 meters) behind the vehicle to warn
approaching traffic.
Change a wheel by yourself only if you are familiar with the
necessary steps. Otherwise, get expert assistance.
Always switch the engine off, set the electronic parking
brake, and shift the transmission into Park (P) (automatic
transmission) or any gear (manual only) to help prevent the ve-
hicle from moving suddenly and slipping off the jack.
Always make sure that the ground is level and firm. If neces-
sary, place the jack on a large and sturdy board or on a similar
ground support.
Always block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being
changed with chocks or other similar things.
If you are towing a trailer, always unhitch it from your vehicle
before starting to change the wheel. Always apply the trailer
brakes firmly and make sure the trailer cannot move uninten-
tionally.
Always use proper and undamaged tools when changing a
wheel.
Once a wheel is lifted off the ground, having the transmission
in Park (P) or in gear will not prevent sudden vehicle move-
ment.
Always use a jack that has been approved by the manufac-
turer for your vehicle. Never use other jacks, even if they have
been approved for use on other Volkswagen models.
To reduce the risk of losing control, crashes, and serious
personal injuries, never loosen the screws on rims with thread-
ed rim rings.

Since power steering does not work when the engine is switched
off, more effort is needed to steer the vehicle.
Since the brake booster also does not work when the engine is
stopped, you will need to press harder on the brake pedal to slow
down or stop. Do not hit the towing vehicle.
Read and heed the information and WARNINGS in the towing ve-
hicle's owner's manual.
As the driver of the towing vehicle:
Drive especially carefully and accelerate gently. Avoid sudden driv-
ing maneuvers.
Brake earlier and more gently than usual and with light pedal pres-
sure.
Read and heed the information and WARNINGS in the owner's
manual of the vehicle being towed.
