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.
Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and
where no part of the hot catalytic converter and exhaust system
can come into contact with flammable materials under the vehi-
cle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, etc.
A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself
and others. Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning
triangle to warn oncoming traffic.
WARNING
Roads and bridges may be dangerously icy even if the outside
air temperature is above freezing.
If you use the outside temperature display to tell you about
frost conditions, remember that roads can even ice over at
temperatures above +39 °F (+4 °C). Always remember: even if
the “snowflake symbol” (icy road warning) is not displayed,
there could still be black ice on the road.
Never rely exclusively on the outside temperature display.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in
vehicle damage.
The instrument cluster displays and their arrangement may vary
depending on the vehicle model and engine. For displays without
warning and information messages, malfunctions are only signaled
with indicator lights.
If there are multiple warning messages, the symbols are dis-
played for several seconds in order of importance. The symbols are
displayed until the cause has been corrected.

WARNING
Vehicle health reports do not replace the information provided
by the vehicle warning and indicator lights. Failure to heed
warning lights and instrument cluster text messages 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.
Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and

A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself
and others. Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning
triangle to warn oncoming traffic.
Before opening the engine hood, always switch off the en-
gine and let the engine cool down.
Always be very careful when working in the engine compart-
ment, which is a potentially dangerous area in any motor vehi-
cle and can cause serious personal injury.

NOTICE
Please be careful when parking your vehicle in areas with
parking barriers or curbs. These vary in height and could dam-
age your bumper and related parts if the front of your vehicle
hits a barrier or curb that is too high while you are getting into or
out of a parking spot.
Always be careful when you enter a driveway or drive up or
down steep ramps or over curbs or other obstacles. Parts of the
vehicle close to the ground may be damaged (such as bumper
covers, spoilers, and parts of the engine, suspension, and ex-
haust systems).

2 Slight differences to these figures are possible, depending on wheel and tire size fitted and the level selected.

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.
Whenever stalled or stopped for repair, move the vehicle a
safe distance off the road, stop the engine, turn on the emer-
gency flashers, and use other warning devices to warn ap-
proaching traffic.
Never park the vehicle in areas where the hot catalytic con-
verter and exhaust system can come into contact with dry
grass, brush, spilled fuel, oil, or other material that can catch
fire.
A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself
and others. Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning
triangle to warn oncoming traffic.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in
vehicle damage.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights provide bright, uniform
lighting to help you see and be seen. The light comes from an electric
arc between two electrodes in the gas-filled bulb. Over time, the elec-
trodes can wear down and the gap between them will get wider. The
HID lamp’s control unit then increases the voltage to keep the arc’s
brightness constant. However, the commonly called “Xenon” bulbs
will also ultimately burn out. Before they burn out, HID lamps can
flicker. A message will then appear in the MFI. This is your reminder
to see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service facility to check the headlights.

Recommended cleaners
For the warmer months, Windscreen Clear SummerG 052 184 A1
or equivalent. Mixing ratio 1:100 (1 part concentrate to 100 parts wa-
ter) in the windshield washer reservoir.
All-season Windscreen ClearG 052 164 A2 or equivalent. Mixing
ratio in winter to 0 °F (-18 °C) about 1:2 (1 part concentrate to 2 parts
water), otherwise, mixing ratio 1:4 in the windshield washer reservoir.
Filling capacity
The windshield washer fluid reservoir holds about 3.1 qts. (3 liters); in
vehicles with a headlight cleaning system about 6.3 qts. (6 liters).
WARNING
Never mix antifreeze or similar additives into the windshield
washer reservoir. This could produce an oily film on the wind-
shield, which would considerably reduce visibility.
Use clear water with a cleaning solution recommended by
Volkswagen.
If necessary, blend with a suitable windshield washer fluid
antifreeze agent.
NOTICE
Never mix cleaning solutions recommended by Volkswagen
with other cleaning agents. If you do, this could cause sedi-
ments or other by-products that can clog the windshield washer
nozzles.
When refilling, do not confuse one type of operating liquid
with another! Otherwise serious malfunctions and engine dam-
age can occur!

WARNING
Improper trailer towing can cause loss of vehicle control and
serious personal injury.
Driving with a trailer and carrying heavy or large things can
change the way the vehicle handles, increase the distance it
needs to stop safely, and cause accidents.
Always secure the load properly with suitable and undam-
aged straps so that the load will not shift.
Always adapt your speed and driving to the heavier load and
the weight distribution in the vehicle. Take road, weather, traf-
fic, and visibility conditions into account as well.
Reduce your speed even more than you otherwise would
when going downhill and under unfavorable load, weather, or
wind conditions.
Trailers with a high center of gravity tip more easily than
trailers with a low center of gravity.
Always avoid sudden maneuvers and hard braking.
Be especially careful when passing other vehicles.
Reduce speed immediately if the trailer shows the slightest
sign of swaying.
Never try to stop the swaying by accelerating.
Always obey speed limits. In some areas, the speed limits for
vehicles towing trailers are lower than for vehicles without
trailers. Never drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h; under excep-
tional circumstances 60 mph - 100 km/h) when towing a trailer.
This applies even if the local speed limit is higher.
If you are driving a new vehicle or a vehicle with a new or rebuilt
engine, do not tow a trailer during the break-in period, about
600 miles (1000 km) ⇒  Parts, accessories, repairs, and modifica-
tions.
If you tow a trailer, your vehicle may need maintenance more
often because of the extra load it has to move.
When you are not towing, remove the trailer hitch ball. This helps
keep the trailer hitch from causing damage to your vehicle and to oth-
ers if your vehicle is hit from behind.

WARNING
Rapid acceleration can cause skidding and loss of traction, es-
pecially on slippery roads, resulting in a loss of vehicle control,
collisions, and serious personal injury.
Only use the kick-down feature or fast acceleration if visibil-
ity, weather, road, and traffic conditions permit and other driv-
ers will not be endangered by your driving and the vehicle's ac-
celeration.
WARNING
Constant braking causes the brakes to overheat and even to fail
leading to collisions and serious personal injury.
Never “ride” the brakes or apply the brake pedal too often or
too long.
Riding the brakes will substantially reduce braking perfor-
mance, increase stopping distance, and can cause complete
brake system failure.
NOTICE
Never “ride” the brakes by keeping your foot on the brake pe-
dal when you do not want to brake. This will make the brakes
wear faster.
Before driving downhill, especially on hills that are long or
steep, always reduce speed and shift into lower gear (manual or
automatic transmission). This will let the vehicle use engine
braking and reduce the load on the brakes. Otherwise, the brake
system could overheat and even fail. Only use the brakes when
you need them to slow the vehicle down more or to stop.
