When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to the
shift in the centre of gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjusted
accordingly.
When transporting cargo, the following instructions must be adhered to ▶ Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with
suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or fixing nets so that they cannot
slip.
▶ Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶ Tyre pressure should be adjusted for the load.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
WARNING■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. If heavy objects have not been suitably secured, there is a
risk of injury!■
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of
the vehicle – There is a risk of an accident!
■
An unsecured dirt or improperly attached load could slip during a sudden
manoeuvre or in an accident - There is a risk of injury!
■
Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of
death!
■
When transporting loads in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding one of the rear seats forward, care should be taken to en-
sure the safety of passengers transported on the other rear seat.
CAUTION
■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks, etc. - these could be damaged.■
Please ensure that the heating elements for the rear window heater are not
damaged as a result of abrasive objects.
■
Do not place sharp objects in the nets and storage compartments in the lug-
gage compartment - there is a risk of damage to the net as well as the com-
partments.
■
Put the items in the storage compartments carefully and do not put point-
shaped objects - there is a risk of damage to the compartments.

■ Avoid standing for lengthy periods in bright sunlight, and protect the mate-
rials by covering to prevent them from fading.
■ Remove fresh stains (e.g. from pens, lipstick, shoe polish and similar) as
soon as possible.
■ Ensure that no part of the leather is soaked through during cleaning and
that no water gets into the seams - There is a risk of damaging the leather!
■ Do not clean the roof panelling with a brush – There is a risk of damage to
the surface of the panelling. ■ Do not use leather cleaners, floor wax, shoe cream, stain remover or similar
agents on Alcantara ®
seat upholstery.
■ Some clothing fabrics (e.g. dark denim) do not have sufficient colour fast-
ness - this could lead to clearly visible discolouration on the upholstery. This
is not a defect in the fabric. ■ Sharp objects on garments (e.g. zips, rivets, sharp- edged belts) can dam-
age the upholstery fabrics in the vehicle. Such damage will not be recognised
as a justified complaint.■
Plastic parts ■ Do not attach scents or air fresheners to the dashboard – There is a risk of
damage to the dashboard.
■
Windows
■ Do not attach any stickers to the filaments or glass antenna - there is risk
of damage.
■
Covers on electrically heated seats ■ Do not clean either with water or with other liquids - There is a risk of dam-
age to the heating system. ■ Do not dry by switching on the heating.
■
Seat belts
■ After cleaning the belts, allow them to dry before retracting them.

CAUTION■If the expansion tank is empty, do not top up with coolant. The system could
aerate - There is a risk of engine damage! Stop driving! Switch off the en-
gine and seek assistance from a specialist garage.■
Do not fill the coolant above the mark
A
» Fig. 162 . The coolant could, when
heated, be expelled from the cooling system - There is a risk of damage to the
engine parts.
■
If it is not possible to add coolant,
stop driving! Switch off the engine and
seek assistance from a specialist garage.
■
A coolant additive which does not correspond to the correct specification can
reduce the anti-corrosion effect of the cooling system - risk of damage to the
cooling system and the engine.
■
If non-distilled (non-demineralised) water has been used to top up, the cool-
ant should be replaced by a specialist garage - There is a risk of engine dam-
age.
■
A loss of coolant indicates leaks in the cooling system -There is a risk of en-
gine damage. Top up with coolant and then seek assistance from a specialist
garage.
Note
Too low coolant level is indicated in the instrument cluster by the warning
light and shown by the message » page 32. We still recommend inspecting
the coolant level directly at the reservoir from time to time.
Brake fluid

Brake fluid reservoir
Check the brake fluid under the following conditions.
The vehicle is on a horizontal surface.
The engine is turned off.
Check brake fluid level - the brake fluid level must lie between the markings
“MIN” and “MAX” » Fig. 163.
Specification - the brake fluid must comply with the standard VW 501 14 (this
standard meets the requirements of FMVSS 116 DOT4).WARNING■ The following instructions must be followed at all times when working on
the engine compartment » page 142.■
If the fluid level drops significantly within a short time or if it drops below
the “MIN” » Fig. 163mark, this may be an indication of a leak in the brake
system.
Stop driving - There is a risk of an accident! Seek help from a
specialist garage.
Note
■ The brake fluid is changed as part of a compulsory inspection service.■Too low brake fluid level is indicated by the warning light being shown on

The vehicle battery represents a power source for the motor to start and for the supply of electrical consumers in the car.
Automatic shutdown of consumers - vehicle battery discharge protection
The on-board power supply system tries to prevent the vehicle battery from
discharging in the following ways when it is subject to heavy loading. ▶ By increasing the engine idle speed.
▶ Through the power limitation of certain consumers.
▶ By switching off some loads(heated seats, heated rear window) for as long
as necessary.

174
We recommend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or seeking other
expert help in the event of any uncertainties.
▶ Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
▶ Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.
In the case of failure of a Xenon gas discharge bulb or an LED diode, visit a
specialist garage.WARNING■ Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 142.■
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users.
■
Bulbs H7 and H4 are pressurised and may burst when changed - there is a
risk of injury. We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety
glasses when changing a bulb.
■
Do not carry out any work on the Xenon gas discharge lamps - risk of
death!
CAUTION
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
napkin, or similar.
Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is pos-
sible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other
bulbs must be replaced by a specialist garage.■
We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the ve-
hicle.
