Indicator lamps
A WARNING
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if
roads are not sufficiently illuminated and oth­
er r oad users have d ifficulty seeing the vehi­
cle, or cannot see it at all.
• Always switch the dipped beam head­
lights on if it is dark, raining or visibility is
poor.
A WARNING
Setting headlights too high, and the incorrect
use of the main beam, could d istract and daz­
zle other road users. This can lead to acci­
dents and serious injuries.
• Always ensure that the headlights are ad­
justed correctly.
• Never use the main beam or the headlight
flasher if other road users could be dazzled. [QJ First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings ih on page 105.

A WARNING (Continued)
• Never depress the accelerator pedal when
selecting a position.
• When the engine is running, the vehicle
starts moving as soon as a gear is engaged
and the brake pedal is released.
• Never select reverse gear or engage the
parking lock while the vehicle is in motion.
A WARNING
Unintentional vehicle movements can cause
serious injury.
• The driver must never leave the driver
seat when the engine is running and a posi·
tion has been selected. If you have to leave
the vehicle while the engine is running , al·
ways switch on the electronic parking brake
and move the selector lever to position P.

• If the engine is running and the selector
lever is in position O, s or R, the vehicle must

Emergency programme
There is a fault in the system if all the displays on

box is running in an emergency programme. The
vehicle can still be driven in the eme rg ency pro­
gramme, but only at reduced speed and not in all
gear s.
In vehicles with a dual clutch gearbox DSG®, y o u

no longer be able to select reverse gear.
In all cases the automatic gearbox should be
checke d
by a qualified workshop immediately.

have to be parked safely or driven faster than
20 km/h (12 mph) .
• If the text message and acoustic warning
are repeated approximately every 10 seconds,
the vehicle must be parked safely immediately
and the engine switched off. Allow the gearbox
to cool down.

In the following instances, the engine will restart
when the ACC is active:
• If the accelerator is depressed.
• When the ACC has resumed speed and dis­

• If the vehicle ahead has moved on.
The brake servo and the electromechanical
steering will not function if the engine is

ling downhill ~ £. The downhill driving assistant
uses the braking power of the engine .
The automatic gearbox selects the best gear for

h1l.l and the current speed into consideration. To do
th1s the selector lever must be in position D or S.
The downhill driving assistant is not active in Tip­

As the downhill driving assistant can only shift
down as far as the 3rd gear, it may be necessary
to activate the Tiptronic mode when driving down
If the start/stop system is used in very high
outside temperatures over a long period, the
vehicle battery can be damaged.

• The ultrasound sensors should only be
sprayed briefly when cleaning with pressure
hoses and steam cleaners. A distance
of more
than
10 cm between the ultrasound sensors
and the steam/hose nozzle must
be observed.
• Sources of noise can lead to errors in the
ParkPilot system, e.g. rough asphalt, cobble­
stones, induction loops, building equipment,
or
interference from other vehicles.
• Any equipment that has been retrofitted to
the vehicle, e.g . bicycle carriers, can prevent
the ParkPilot from functioning properly.
Operating ParkPilot
If an ultrasound sensor fails, the corrrespond.
ing area of the ultrasound sensor cluster is
switched off and cannot be reactivated until th
fault has been rectified. Consult a qualified
workshop in the event
of a system fault. Volks.

r::l Volkswagen recommends that drivers prac­
L!J tise using the ParkPilot in a traffic-calmed
area or car park to allow them to familiarise them­
selves with the system and its functions.

The intermittent and permanent acoustic

r::l The Park Assist system has system-related
l!J limitations . For example, the Park Assist sys­
t e m cannot help you to park the
vehicle on tight
b e nd s.
r::l Wh en parking parallel to the road , a warning
L!J signal can be heard to tell the driver to switch
between driving forwards and reversing because
the change
of direct ion should not take place in the
permanent tone area
of the ParkPilot.
r::l The progress bar in the instrument cluster
l!J display will symbolically indicate the relative
distance remaining .
W If the Park Assist system turns the steering
l!J wheel when the vehicle is stationary , the 6l
symbol appears as well. Depress the brake pedal
so that the steering movement takes place with the
vehicle stationary, keeping the required number of
parking movements to a minimum.
r::l If the parking result worsens after a wheel is
~ changed, the system will first have to syn­
chronise
itself with the new wheel. The synchroni­
sation procedure is carried out
automatically while
the vehicle is in motion. You can support this proc­
ess by driving slowly (less than 20 km/h (12 mph))
through a bend, e.g. in an empty car park. Driver assist systems 215
