played.
Service reminder
If service is due in the near future, a service reminder is displayed when the ignition is switched on.
On vehicles without text messages, a wrench symbol > and a miles (kilometers) indicator are
shown in the instrument cluster display. The distance shown in miles (kilometers) is the maximum
distance the vehicle can be driven without having a service completed. The display changes after a
few seconds. A clock symbol is displayed and the number of days until the required service is shown.
Service event
When service is due, a warning chime sounds when the ignition is switched on, and a flashing
wrench symbol > is displayed for several seconds.

Menu structure – overview

x OR: The vehicle is unlocked using the 0 button in the remote control vehicle key.
x OR: The luggage compartment lid is opened.
x OR: The vehicle is mechanically unlocked with the vehicle key.
NOTICE
The door handle sensor surfaces can be activated by a strong stream of water or steam if a
valid vehicle key is within range of the vehicle.
The door may not open if the outside and inside door handles are used at the same time.
If the vehicle battery or the battery in the remote control vehicle key is weak or dead, it might not
be possible to unlock and lock the vehicle using Keyless Access. The vehicle can still be manually
locked or unlocked with the key bit .
The driver message Key not in range appears in the instrument cluster display if there is no
remote control vehicle key inside the vehicle or if the system does not recognize the remote control
vehicle key. The key may not be recognized, for example, if it is covered by something that interferes
with the signal (such as a briefcase), or if the remote control vehicle key battery is weak. Electronic
devices such as cell phones can also interfere with the signal.
Dirt on the door handles that contains a lot of salt (especially in winter) can affect the way the door
handle sensors work. Cleaning the door handles can help with this problem .
If the automatic transmission is not in Park (P) position, the electronic steering column lock will not
lock and the vehicle will not lock via sensors in the front door handles or the remote control vehicle
key.
Anti-theft alarm system

If an unauthorized vehicle key is used, Immobilizer active! appears in the instrument cluster display. The vehicle cannot be operated with this key.

Selector
lever
position
Designation Meaning ⇒
3 Sport Drive (Sport
driving position)
All forward gears automatically upshift later and downshift
earlier than in the D (Drive) position, to take full advantage of
the engine's power reserves. The transmission shifts as needed
depending on engine load, individual driving style, and vehicle
speed.

Automatic Shift Lock (ASL)
The Automatic Shift Lock (ASL) in Park (P) and Neutral (N) prevents drive positions from being
engaged inadvertently, which would cause the vehicle to move.
To release the ASL, depress and hold the brake pedal with the ignition switched on. Press the release
button on the selector lever at the same time.
The ASL is not engaged if the selector lever is moved quickly through Neutral (N) (e.g., when shifting
from Reverse (R) to Drive (D)). This makes it possible to “rock” the vehicle backwards and forwards if
it is stuck in snow or mud. The ASL engages automatically if the brake pedal is not depressed and the
lever is in Neutral (N) for more than about 1 second and the vehicle is traveling no faster than about
3 mph (5 km/h).
In rare cases, the ASL may not engage on vehicles with DSG®Direct Shift Gearbox. If this happens,
power to the drive wheels will be interrupted to prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly. The
green indicator light Kk will blink and a text message will be displayed. To engage the Automatic Shift
Lock (ASL):
x Depress and then release the brake pedal. Try to engage the ASL again.
WARNING
Moving the selector lever to the wrong position can cause loss of vehicle control, a collision,
and serious personal injury.
x Never accelerate when moving the selector lever.
x When the engine is running and a drive position is engaged, the vehicle will start to move
as soon as the brake pedal is released.
x Never shift into Reverse or Park when the vehicle is moving.

Fig. 119 Rear Assist display.

1) Do not use Rear Assist in the following situations:
– If the driver is not familiar with the system.
– If the position or angle of the camera has changed, such as after a rear-end collision. Have the
system checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.


2) Examples of optical distortion by the camera
The Rear Assist camera displays only two-dimensional images. Recesses and protruding objects on
the ground or protruding parts on other vehicles are difficult or impossible to identify due to the lack
of depth of field.
Objects or another vehicle may seem closer or farther away on the screen than they really are:
– When driving from a level surface onto an upward or downward slope.
– When driving up or down a slope onto a level surface.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When approaching protruding objects. These objects can disappear from the field of view when
backing up.

Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice:
x Engage the parking brake.
x Switch on the ignition.
x Select the reverse gear.
x Wet the camera lens with a commercially available alcohol-based glass cleaner and clean with a
dry cloth ⇒  .
x Remove snow with a brush.
x Remove ice with deicer spray ⇒    
NOTICE
x Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the camera lens.
x Never remove snow or ice on the camera lens with warm or hot water. This can damage the
camera lens.

Winter tires improve the handling characteristics of your vehicle significantly when driving under wintry
road conditions. Summer tires have less traction on snow and ice because of their design (width,
rubber composition, tread design). Volkswagen strongly recommends that you always have winter
tires or all-season tires installed on all 4 wheels on your vehicle, especially when winter road
conditions are expected. Winter tires also improve the vehicle's braking performance and help reduce
stopping distances during winter weather. Volkswagen recommends installing winter tires once
temperatures are below +45 °F (+7 °C).
Winter tires are no longer suitable for winter driving once the tread pattern is worn down to a depth of
3/16 in (4.8 mm). In addition, winter tire performance decreases with age – independent of the tread
profile depth.
When using winter tires:
x Obey state and country-specific legal requirements.
x Install winter tires on all 4 wheels.
x Use winter tires only under wintry road conditions.
x Only use winter tires with dimensions approved for the vehicle.
x Use only winter tires of the same tire belt design, the same dimensions (tread circumference), and
the same tread design.
x Follow speed restrictions according to the winter tire's speed rating code letter ⇒.
Speed restrictions
Winter tires are certified up to a top speed identified by speed rating code letters on the side wall .
In some vehicle models it is possible to set a speed warning in the menu in the instrument cluster
display
Top speed rating and tire inflation pressure for V winter tires depend on the engine installed in your
vehicle. Be sure to ask you authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility
about the maximum permissible speed and the required tire inflation pressure for the winter tires that
you plan to use.
WARNING
Driving faster than the maximum speed for which the winter tires on your vehicle were
designed can cause sudden tire failure including a blowout and sudden deflation, loss of
control, crashes and serious personal injuries.
x Winter tires have a maximum speed rating that may be lower than your vehicle's maximum
speed.
x Never drive faster than the maximum speed for which the winter tires installed on your
vehicle are rated because tires that are driven faster than their rated speed can fail suddenly.
x Never exceed the maximum load rating for the winter tires installed on your vehicle.
Install summer tires promptly in the spring. Summer tires offer better handling characteristics for
temperatures above +45 °F (+7 °C). They are quieter, do not wear as quickly, and reduce fuel
consumption.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System must be recalibrated using the SET button whenever you
remove and remount or change any wheel or tire on the vehicle, even if the reinstalled or replacement
