If you driv e to close to the vehicle in
front, brake support systems cannot
prevent an accident.

WARNING
Driving without the brake servo or with re-
stricted brake serv o function can consider-
ably increase the braking distance and
cause accidents and serious injuries.
x Never deactivate the electric drive or
switch off the ignition as long as the ve-
hicle is still moving.
x If the brake servo does not function or
the vehicle is being towed, the brake
pedal will have to be depressed more
forcefully as the braking distance will be
increased due to the lack of assistance
for the brake system. Switching ESC Sport on and
off
Switching ESC Sport on and off
The ESC Sport function interv

enes later than

together with the ABS indicator lamp the control function of the ABS may

ve failed. This can cause the rear
wheels to lock relatively quickly when
you brake. Locked rear wheels can lead
to a loss of control of the vehicle. If pos-
sible, reduce your speed and drive care-
fully at low speed to the nearest quali-
fied workshop in order to have the brake
system tested. Avoid sudden braking and
driving manoeuvres on the way.
x If the ABS indicator lamp does not go
out or comes on while the v
ehicle is in
motion, the ABS is not working properly.
The vehicle can be stopped using the
normal brakes only (without the anti-
lock brake system). The protection pro-
vided by the anti-lock brake system is no longer available. Go to a qualified work-
shop as soon as possible.

Practical equipment
Stowage areas Introduction to the topic
WARNING
Loose objects may be flung through the ve-
hicle interior in the e vent of a sudden driv-
ing or braking manoeuvre. This can cause
serious injury and can also lead to loss of
control of the vehicle.
x Stow objects only in closed stowage
compartments.
x Always keep stowage compartments
closed while the vehicle is in motion.
x The coat hooks in the vehicle should on-
ly be used for lightweight clothing
weighing max. 2.5 kg (approx. 5.5 lbs).
Never leave any heavy, hard or sharp ob-
jects in the pockets. NOTICE
x Do not stow any temperature-sensitiv
e
objects, food or medicines inside the vehi-
cle. Hot and cold temperatures could dam-
age them or render them unusable.
x Objects stored in the vehicle that are
made from transparent materials, such as
transparent suction cups on the windows,
can concentrate the sun

WARNING
Improper use of the sockets and electrical
accessories can cause fires and se vere inju-
ries.
x Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle. Sockets and the devices connec-
ted to them can be used when the igni-
tion is switched on.
x If the electrical device gets too hot,
switch off the device immediately and
disconnect it from the socket. NOTICE
x In order to pre
vent damage to the electri-
cal system, never connect equipment that
supplies electric power, such as solar pan-
els or battery chargers for charging the
12-volt battery, to the 12-volt socket.
x Use only electrical devices that have been
approved in accordance with current
guidelines concerning electromagnetic
compatibility.
x In order to avoid damage due to voltage
fluctuations, always switch off any electri-
cal devices before switching the ignition
on or off and before activating the vehi-
cle

Data transfer
CybersecurityWhat is cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity comprises measures to reduce
the risk of unauthorised access by malware or
an Internet attack on v
ehicle functions, data
and control units.
What are connectivity components?
Control units for data transmission, interfa-
ces, and media and diagnostic connections
are connectivity components, via which in-
formation and data can be exchanged be-
tween the vehicle and external devices or the
Internet. The connectivity components that
are not included in all vehicles are, in particu-
lar:

Regularly update the appropriate anti-
virus program with the updates or up-
grades pro
vided by the provider.System update
Introduction to the topic
The factory-fitted central control unit sup-
ports the system update function. This allows
the software of almost all control units to be
updated by V

olkswagen AG without the need
to visit a qualified workshop:
If a system update is available for your vehi-
cle, a corresponding message will be dis-
played on the Infotainment system.
System updates are downloaded via the fac-
tory-fitted control unit with eSIM card (OCU)
and are free of charge. Volkswagen pays the
connection costs.
The system update function is only available
in some countries. A measure such as engine tuning to in-
crease perf

ormance or efficiency that
has not been performed by Volkswagen may
be deleted by a system update. Overview
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 196.

Questions and answers about
system updates
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 196.
What is the purpose of a system update
?
A system update is a preventive measure to
stop undesirable events and states from oc-
curring. For example protection against mal-
ware or to optimise the running of the soft-
ware.
Should I perform the system update?
It is in your own interests to carry out system
updates. If the driver repeatedly rejects the
system update, it is then necessary to visit
a qualified workshop.
Can I manually interrupt the download of the
system update?
No, this is not possible.
Can I interrupt software installation?
No, this is not possible.
What will happen if software installation is
interrupted?
If software installation is interrupted, for ex-
ample due to damage to the electrical system
in the vehicle, it is possible that control units
will be not be updated and may be damaged
due to incomplete software installation
