WARNING
Using the cruise control when it is not possible to drive safely
at a constant speed can be dangerous and can lead to an acci-
dent and serious personal injuries.
Never use cruise control when driving in heavy or varying
traffic or when you cannot keep a safe distance between you
and the vehicles ahead of you.
Never use cruise control on steep, winding, or slippery roads
(such gravel roads, wet roads, or snowy or icy roads) or on
roads with standing water.
Never use cruise control when driving off-road or on unpaved
roads.
Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between
you and the vehicles ahead of you to the road, traffic, weather,
and visibility conditions.
To help prevent unintended operation of cruise control,
switch the system off when it is not being used.
It is dangerous to use the Resume feature when the previous-
ly set speed is too high for the existing road, traffic, or weather
conditions.
When going downhill, the cruise control may not be able to
maintain a constant speed. The vehicle will speed up because
of its own weight. Downshift and/or use the foot brake to slow
the vehicle.

WARNING
Unintended vehicle movement during maintenance work can
cause serious personal injuries.
Never work under the vehicle unless you have safely secured
the vehicle from moving. If you must work under the vehicle
with the wheels on the ground, always make sure that the vehi-
cle is on level ground, that all 4 wheels are chocked to keep
them from moving, and that the key is not in the ignition.
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, al-
ways make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle. The jack supplied with the
vehicle is not strong enough for this purpose and can collapse
causing serious personal injury.

WARNING
Improperly lifting your vehicle with a workshop hoist or a floor
jack can cause the vehicle to fall off and cause serious person-
al injury.
Always read and heed the operating instructions from the
floor jack manufacturer and legal regulations if necessary be-
fore using the floor jack to lift the vehicle.
Never let anyone stay in the vehicle when it is being lifted or
when it is off the ground.
Always lift your vehicle only at the designated lift points
shown in the illustrations ⇒ fig. 173 and ⇒ fig. 174. Not using the
designated lift points can cause the vehicle to fall off the floor
jack when heavy parts such as the engine or transmission are
removed.
Always make sure that the vehicle's lift points lie as flat as
possible and centered on the carrier plates of the floor jack.
Never start the engine when you have raised the vehicle on
the floor jack. The engine vibrations and vehicle movements
could knock the vehicle off the floor jack.
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, al-
ways make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Never use the floor jack as a ladder or step ladder.
Always make sure that the weight of the vehicle is not heavi-
er than the lifting capacity of the floor jack and safety stands
being used.
NOTICE
To help prevent serious vehicle damage, never lift the vehicle
by the engine oil pan, transmission housing, or by the front or
rear axles or suspension.
To help prevent damage to the underbody or chassis, always
insert a rubber pad between the hoist and the lifting points. In
addition make sure the lifting arms have enough clearance.
The lifting arms should not touch side sills or other parts of
the vehicle.

WARNING
Improper use of your vehicle jack can cause the vehicle to fall
off the jack leading to serious personal injury. To help reduce
the risk of serious personal injury:
Use only jacks approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle. Oth-
er jacks might slip, even those approved for other Volkswagen
models, but not for your vehicle.
Always set up the jack on firm and level ground. The vehicle
may slip off the jack if the jack is resting on soft or sloping
ground. If necessary, place a sturdy board under the jack.
On a hard, slippery surface (such as a tiled floor), use an anti-
skid rubber mat or something similar to help prevent the jack
from slipping.
Position the jack only at the described vehicle lift points. Be-
fore you raise your vehicle, always make sure the jack claw
properly grips the vertical rib under the sill so that the jack
does not slip off when you are raising the vehicle ⇒ fig. 192.
Never have any part of your body (such as your arm or leg)
under the vehicle when it is supported by the jack. Never let
other persons have any part of their body under the vehicle,
either!
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, al-
ways make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Never lift the vehicle when it is tilted or inclined to one side
or the engine is running.
Never lift the vehicle when more than 1 tire is flat or dam-
aged.
Do not start the engine while the vehicle is supported by a
jack. Engine vibrations may cause the vehicle to slip off the
jack.
