Introduction
The operation and freedom of movement of all pedals must never be impaired by objects or floor
mats.
Only use floor mats that leave the pedal area free and can be securely fastened in the footwell.
If a brake circuit fails, you will have to depress the brake pedal further than normal in order to bring
the vehicle to a stop.
Manual gearbox: selecting a gear
Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle
breaking down in traffic, and can cause accident and serious injury.

Driving in the correct gear can reduce fuel consumption.
The display on the gear-change indicator will disappear when the clutch pedal is depressed.
In some vehicles the gear recommendation may be displayed on the screen of the portable
navigation device (delivered by Volkswagenyf ⇒ Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of

Special driving situations

Fig. 111 Vehicles changing lanes
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The city emergency brake function has physical and system-specific limits. In certain situations, the
driver may therefore feel that the city emergency brake function reacts too late or unexpectedly.
You should therefore always be prepared to take full control of the vehicle if necessary.
The following driving situations demand particular vigilance:
When driving through bends
When driving into or out of a long bend, the laser sensor may react to a vehicle in the adjacent lane
⇒ Fig. 110A and thus brake the vehicle. The braking effect can be stopped by pressing the
accelerator or clutch pedal or by steering the vehicle.
Narrow vehicles and a zig-zag traffic situation
Narrow vehicles and vehicles travelling slightly to the left or right of your vehicle will only be
recognised by the laser sensor once they have entered the range of the sensor ⇒ Fig. 110B. This
particularly applies to narrow vehicles such as motorcycles.
When other vehicles change lanes
Vehicles that are very close to you when they move into your lane could cause the city emergency
brake function to be applied unexpectedly ⇒ Fig. 111. The braking effect can be stopped by
pressing the accelerator or clutch pedal or by steering the vehicle.
Possible laser sensor function impairments
The city emergency brake function will switch off temporarily if the function of the laser sensor is
impaired due to heavy rain, spray, snow or mud, for example. The indicator lamp will flash in
the instrument cluster display.
The city emergency brake function is ready to work again as soon as the laser sensor returns to
normal function. The indicator lamp goes out.
The following conditions could prevent the city emergency brake function
from reacting:
