Charge VOLKSWAGEN ID.5 2022 Owners Manual

The displayed value is calculated and updated
depending on the driving style and ambient
conditions. The range can theref
ore also vary
even for a fully charged high-voltage battery.

WARNING
Careless or unsupervised use of the electric
front seats can result in se vere injuries.
x The electrical front seat adjustment also
works when the ignition is switched off.
Never leave children or people requiring
assistance alone in the vehicle.
x In the event of an emergency, stop elec-
trical adjustment by pressing another
switch. NOTICE
To avoid damaging the electrical components
in the front seats, do not kneel on the seats
or apply sharp pressure at a single point on
the seat cushion and backrest. It may not be possible to adjust the
seat electrically if the charge le

vel of
the 12-volt vehicle battery is too low.
Activating the electric drive will inter-
rupt the seat adjustment procedure.Rear seats
Introduction to the topic
The f
ollowing section describes the options
for adjusting the rear seats. Always ensure
that your sitting position is correct

x
If there are any objects in the f ootwell,
remove them when the vehicle is
parked. NOTICE
The pedals must be freely operable at all
times. F
or example, a larger brake pedal trav-
el will be necessary in order to stop the vehi-
cle if a brake circuit fails. The brake pedal will
have to be depressed further and harder than
normal. Driving economically
Adopting the right driving style can re-
duce consumption, damage to the en

vi-
ronment, and wear and tear to the elec-
tric drive, brakes and tyres. The follow-
ing section lists a few tips for easing the
strain on the environment and your bank
account.
Think ahead when driving
The range will decrease if you do not adopt
a steady driving style. Keeping a close eye on
the traffic can help to avoid frequent acceler-
ation and braking. Keeping your vehicle at
a sufficient distance from the vehicle in front
can help you to think ahead when driving.
Use energy recovery (recuperation)
The vehicle will “coast” if the Eco assistance
function is deactivated and position D is se-
lected and the accelerator is not pressed.
The vehicle will perform brake energy recu-
peration automatically if the Eco assistance
function is activated and position D is selec-
ted and the accelerator is not pressed. It will
adapt itself to the driving situation and exter-
nal conditions such as vehicles in front and
speed limits. The energy of the rolling vehicle
is used to charge the high-voltage battery

This will also occur to a certain extent when
the v
ehicle is rolling to stop when in overrun
mode or travelling downhill.
The higher the charge level of the high-volt-
age battery, the lower the recuperation and
thus also the engine braking effect. No brake
energy recuperation occurs and therefore no
engine braking effect is available once the
high-voltage battery is fully charged

Position engaged and ECO assistance deac-
tiv
ated: no brake energy recuperation.
Position engaged and ECO assistance acti-
v

ated: automatic brake energy recuperation.
The energy recovery level is selected auto-
matically depending on the navigation data
and traffic situation.
Position engaged: high brake energy recu-
peration
The v

ehicle also performs recuperation when
the brake pedal is pressed.
Eco assistance
The ECO assistance function helps the driver
to use the engine braking effect of the vehi-
cle efficiently. It selects the energy recovery
level depending on the navigation data and
traffic situation.
The ECO assistance function can be switched
on and off in the vehicle settings in the Info-
tainment system.
Driving down hills
When driving down hills, you should drive in
position B if possible.
Never allow the vehicle to roll down moun-
tains or hills in the neutral position N. Troubleshooting
Deactivation of the drive is imminent
The charge level of the high-voltage battery
is too low.
The indicator lamp lights up during v

ehicle
operation.
The indicator lamp lights up red.
A text message is shown on the ID. Cockpit

You can continue to drive.
No v
alid vehicle key recognised
A corresponding display is shown in the
ID. Cockpit.
If the button cell in the vehicle key is weak or
discharged, it is possible that the vehicle key
will not be recognised.
In this case it is necessary to perform an
emergency start:

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

x
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.
A

vailability of a system update
The switched-on Infotainment system indi-
cates that a system update is available. A sys-
tem update takes place in two phases:

Introduction to the topic
The “Priv
acy settings” function enables you
to permit or prevent data transmission be-
tween the vehicle and the Internet.
The required mode can be set in the vehicle
settings in the Infotainment system.
The “Privacy settings” function cannot pre-
vent data transmission from external devices
and their communication with the vehicle.
Legally required services and their data trans-
missions cannot be switched off and cannot
be deactivated, e.g. “eCall Emergency Sys-
tem”.
Please note that every vehicle user can
adjust individual privacy function set-
tings. These settings may be different from
those preferred by the vehicle owner. Privacy settings
In order to permit or pre
vent data transmis-
sion, activate or deactivate offline mode in
the Infotainment system.
