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
Never rely completely on the PDC for information about people
and objects that might be in the way of the vehicle and could be
struck by the vehicle causing serious personal injury.
The PDC sensors have blind spots where they cannot detect
people or objects.
Always watch for people, especially small children and ani-
mals, because the sensors may not always be able to detect
them.
If you hear a long beep lasting about 3 seconds when you first
turn PDC on or the indicator light in the button starts blinking, this
means there is a malfunction in the Park Distance Control system.
Switch off the Park Distance Control system with the button and have
it immediately checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

WARNING
Poor visibility increases the risk of collisions and other acci-
dents that cause serious personal injuries.
Always make sure all windows are clear of ice, snow and
condensation for good visibility to the front, sides, and rear.
Maximum heating output and defrosting performance are not
possible until the engine has reached operating temperature.
Wait until you have good visibility before driving off.
Always make sure you know how to properly use the climate
control system as well as the rear window defroster that you
will need for good visibility.
Never use air recirculation for long periods of time. When the
air conditioner is off and recirculation mode is on, condensa-
tion can quickly form on the windows and greatly reduce visi-
bility.
Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed.
WARNING
Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces driver alertness,
which can cause accidents, collisions and serious personal in-
jury.
Never switch off the fan for a long period of time and never
use air recirculation for a long period of time because no fresh
air will enter the passenger compartment.
NOTICE
If you think the air conditioner is not working properly or may
be damaged, switch it off to help prevent more damage. Have the
air conditioner checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or
an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Air conditioner repair requires specialized knowledge and
special tools. Volkswagen recommends that you see an author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.
Do not smoke when air recirculation is switched on. Smoke
drawn into the ventilation system can leave residue on the evap-

Air conditioner does not work
The air conditioner may not switch on for one of the following rea-
sons:
The engine is not running.
The fan is switched off.
The air conditioner fuse has blown.
The outside air temperature is colder than about +38 °F (+3 °C).
The air conditioner compressor has been temporarily switched off
due to excessive engine coolant temperature.
There is another malfunction in the vehicle. Have the air condition-
er checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility.
Special considerations
When it is very hot and humid outside, water condensation can drip
from the air conditioner evaporator and form a puddle under the vehi-
cle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.
The climate control system adjusts the passenger compartment
temperature as fast as possible considering the outside temperature.
Due to residual moisture in the air conditioner, the windshield
may fog up after the engine is started. Switch on the windshield de-
froster to help evaporate the condensation as quickly as possible.
The air coming out of the vents flows through the passenger
compartment and through the vents under the rear window. Do not
cover these slots with clothing or other things.

WARNING
Improper refueling or handling of fuel is dangerous and can
cause fire, explosion, and severe burns.
Always make sure that the fuel filler cap is screwed on all the
way. This helps keep fuel from spilling out or evaporating.
Fuel is highly flammable and explosive; it can cause severe
burns and other severe injuries.
Failure to shut the engine off while refueling and/or to insert
the pump nozzle all the way into the fuel filler neck can cause
fuel to overflow and to spray out. Fuel spray and overflowing
fuel are dangerous because they can cause fire and serious
personal injury.
During refueling, the engine and the ignition must be
switched off for safety reasons.
Never use a mobile telephone, CB radio, or other radio
equipment while refueling. The electromagnetic radiation can
cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
Never get back into your vehicle while refueling. If in excep-
tional circumstances you must get back in your vehicle while
refueling, make certain that you close the door and touch metal
to discharge static electricity before touching the filler nozzle
again. This helps avoid the buildup of static electricity, which
can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors released during
refueling.
Never smoke or have an open flame (or sparks, cigarettes, or
other smoldering objects) anywhere in or near your vehicle
when refueling or filling a portable fuel container.
Follow all safety instructions and procedures that apply at
the service station where you refuel.
Never spill fuel in the vehicle or the luggage compartment.

WARNING
Even if empty, portable fuel containers can leak and cause a
fire and serious personal injuries, especially in a crash.
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you do not
travel with a portable fuel container in your vehicle.
If, under exceptional circumstances, you must transport a
portable fuel container, please observe the following:
– Never fill a portable fuel container while it is anywhere in or
on the vehicle (for example, in the luggage compartment or
on top of the luggage compartment lid). Static electricity can
build up while filling and can ignite fuel vapors, causing a
fire.
– Always place a portable fuel container on the ground be-
fore filling. Never spill fuel inside the vehicle or luggage
compartment. Fuel vapors are highly flammable.
– Always keep the filler nozzle completely inside the portable
container before and during filling.
– If filling a portable container made of metal, the filler nozzle
must always be in contact with the container. This will help
prevent static electricity from discharging and causing a fire.
– Always observe local and state or provincial laws about the
use, storage, and transportation of portable fuel containers.
– Make certain that the portable fuel container meets indus-
try standards, such as ANSI/ASTM F852-86.
NOTICE
Remove fuel spills from the vehicle immediately to help pre-
vent damage to the paint, tires, and wheel housings.
Refueling with gasoline when your vehicle has a diesel engine
or refueling with diesel fuel when your vehicle has a gasoline
engine can cause very serious and expensive engine and fuel
system damage that is not covered by any Volkswagen Limited
Warranty.
If you put any amount of incorrect fuel in the fuel tank, do not
start the engine under any circumstances. Immediately contact
the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance. These fuels contain

substances that can severely damage the fuel system and the
engine if the engine is started.
Fuels can pollute the environment. Spilled fuel must be collected
and disposed of properly, following all applicable environmental regu-
lations.
There is no emergency release for the fuel filler flap. Contact an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility for assistance.

WARNING
Starting fluids can explode and cause a run-away vehicle condi-
tion.
Never use starting assist fluids.
NOTICE
Never use fuel with an octane rating lower than 87 AKI /
91 RON. Using lower octane fuel may cause expensive engine
damage.
Never use leaded gasoline! Leaded gasoline will severely
damage your vehicle's catalytic converter.
Methanol-blended fuels that do not meet the criteria listed
above may cause corrosion and may damage plastic and rubber
parts in the fuel system.
Never use fuels that contain lead or other metals (check listing
on the fuel pump). Even lead replacement gasoline (LRP fuels)
contain metallic additives in high concentrations. They can
damage the engine.
Do not use fuels that fail to meet the criteria above, or with
contents that cannot be identified.
If you cannot tell whether a particular fuel blend meets the cri-
teria above, ask your service station or its fuel supplier. If you
notice a loss of fuel economy or drivability and performance
problems using one of these fuel blends, we recommend that
you switch to unblended fuel.
Using fuels that are different from those specified above can
damage your vehicle's engine and fuel system and cause per-
formance problems.
Damage to the engine and fuel system and performance prob-
lems caused by using fuels that are different from those speci-
fied above or by using “starting assist fluids” are not the re-
sponsibility of Volkswagen and are not covered under the Emis-
sion warranties or any other Volkswagen Limited Warranty.
Even a single tank full of leaded fuel can do major damage to the
catalytic converter and degrade its effectiveness in reducing polluting
emissions.

WARNING
The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially
dangerous area and can cause serious personal injury.
Always use extreme caution when doing any work in the en-
gine compartment. Always follow commonly accepted safety
practices and use common sense. Never risk personal injury.
Never perform any work in the engine compartment unless
you know exactly how to carry out the job and have the correct
technical information and the correct tools.
If you are uncertain about what to do, have the work per-
formed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer, an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility, or another qualified workshop.
Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed
work.
We strongly recommend that you always have HID – High In-
tensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights and H7 bulbs replaced by
a qualified technician. Serious personal injury may result from
improperly performed work.
Never open or close the engine hood if steam or coolant is
escaping. Hot steam or coolant can cause serious burns. Al-
ways wait until you no longer see or hear steam or coolant es-
caping from the engine.
Always let the engine cool down completely before carefully
opening the hood.
Hot parts of the engine and the exhaust system will burn skin
on contact.
When the engine has cooled down and you are ready to open
the hood:
– Firmly apply the parking brake and shift the transmission
into Park (P) (automatic) or Neutral (manual only).
– Take the vehicle key out of the ignition.
– On vehicles with Keyless Access, make sure that the re-
mote control vehicle key is out of range of the vehicle and
that the vehicle cannot be started by depressing the starter
button ⇒  Starter button.
– Always keep children and others away from the engine
compartment and never leave them unsupervised.

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.
