overheating VOLKSWAGEN E-GOLF 2019 Owners Manual

x ABS stops working if you release or let up on the brake.
When ABS is doing its job, you will notice a slight vibration through the brake pedal and hear a noise. ABS cannot shorten the stopping distance under all conditions. The stopping distance may even be longer, for instance, when driving on gravel or on newly fallen snow covering an icy or slip-pery surface.
Brake Assist (BAS)
The Brake Assist System can help to reduce stopping distances. If you press the brake pedal very quickly, BAS detects an emergency situation. It then very quickly builds up full brake system pressure, maximizing braking power and reducing the stopping distance. This way, ABS can be activated more quickly and efficiently.
Do not reduce pressure on the brake pedal! BAS switches off automatically as soon as you release or let up on the brake.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
ASR reduces electric motor power directed to spinning wheels and adjusts power to the road condi-tions. Even under poor road conditions, ASR can make it easier to get moving, accelerate, and climb hills.
ASR can be switched on or off manually ⇒  Switching Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) on and off.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDL)
EDL is applied during regular straight-line acceleration. EDL gently brakes a drive wheel that has lost traction (spinning) and redirects the drive force to other drive wheels. In extreme cases, EDL automat-ically switches off to keep the brake from overheating. As soon as the brake has cooled down, EDL automatically switches on again.
XDL is an extension of the Electronic Differential Lock system. XDL does not react to drive wheel slippage when driving straight ahead. Instead, XDL detects slippage of the inside front wheel during fast cornering. XDL applies enough brake pressure to this wheel in order to stop the slippage. This improves traction, which helps the vehicle stay on track.
WARNING
Driving fast on icy, slippery, or wet roads can lead to a loss of control and result in serious personal injury for you and your passengers.
x Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility condi-tions. Never let the additional safety that ESC, ABS, BAS, ASR, and EDL can provide tempt you into taking extra risks.
x Braking assistance systems cannot overcome the laws of physics and always prevent loss of vehicle control. Slippery and wet roads are still dangerous even with ESC and the other systems!
x Driving too fast on wet roads can cause the wheels to lose contact with the road and “hy-droplane.” A vehicle that has lost road contact cannot be braked, steered, or controlled.
x These systems cannot reduce the risk of accident, for example if you drive too fast for conditions or if you do not keep your distance from the vehicle in front of you.
x Although these systems are very effective and can help you control the vehicle in many difficult situations, always remember that your vehicle handling control is limited by tire trac-tion.
x When accelerating on a slippery surface, for example on ice and snow, depress the accel-erator carefully. Even with these systems, the wheels may start to spin, leading to a loss of vehicle control.

x Start the electric motor and let it run.
x Insert the cable plug ⇒ fig. 177 (9) into a 12 Volt socket of the vehicle
x Switch the air compressor on using the ON /OFF switch ⇒ fig. 177 (8),
x Let the air compressor run until a pressure of 29 – 36 psi (200 – 250 kPa) is reached ⇒ . Max-
imum run time 8 minutes ⇒ .
x Switch off the air compressor.
x If an air pressure of 29 – 36 psi (200 – 250 kPa) cannot be reached, unscrew the tire inflation hose from the tire valve.
x Drive about 30 feet (10 meters) backwards or forwards so that the sealant can be distributed inside the tire.
x Connect the tire inflation hose of the air compressor again to the tire valve and repeat the inflation process.
x If the required tire pressure still cannot be reached, the tire is too badly damaged. The tire cannot be sealed using the tire mobility set. Do not drive the vehicle. Contact an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or Volkswagen service facility for assistance ⇒ .
x Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew the tire inflation hose from the tire valve.
x If a tire pressure of 29 – 36 psi (200 – 250 kPa) is reached, continue driving right away and drive at a speed of no more than 50 mph (80 km/h).
x Check tire pressure after 10 minutes of driving
WARNING
The tire inflation hose and air compressor can get hot during inflation.
x Protect hands and skin from hot parts.
x Do not place the hot tire inflation hose or hot air compressor on flammable material.
x Let the equipment cool off almost completely before stowing it.
x If the tire cannot be inflated to at least 36 psi (250 kPa), the damage is too great to be re-paired with the tire mobility set. The sealant is not able to seal the tire. Do not drive the vehi-cle. Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen service facility for assistance.
NOTICE
Do not let the compressor run for more than 8 minutes to help prevent overheating and dam-age. Let the compressor cool down for a few minutes before switching it on again. Let it cool down almost completely before stowing it in the repair kit.
Check after 10 minutes of driving
