Advance warning
The system detects a possible colli-
sion and prepares the vehicle for pos-
sible emergency braking.
An acoustic warning sounds and the red
warning lamp lights up. Brake or take avoid-
ing action.
Urgent warning
If the driver does not react to the advance
warning, the system may initiate a short
braking jolt in order to draw attention to the
increasing collision risk. Brake or take avoid-
ing action.
Automatic braking
If the driver also does not react to the urgent
warning, the vehicle can be braked automati- cally with braking force that increases in sev-
eral stages. The reduced speed means that it
is possible to minimise the consequences of
an accident.
Braking interv
ention
If the system detects that the driver is brak-
ing insufficiently when there is a risk of colli-
sion, the system can increase the braking
force and help prevent a collision. The brak-
ing intervention takes place only for as long
as the brake pedal is pressed hard.
Distance warning
The system detects when safety
is endangered by driving too
close to the vehicle in front. The indi-
cator lamp lights up. Increase the dis-
tance.
Speed range: around 65 km/h (around
40 mph) to around 250 km/h (around
155 mph). Area monitoring system 161

Oncoming vehicle braking
when turning
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 159. The oncoming vehicle braking when
turning function can pre
vent the vehicle
from colliding with an oncoming vehicle
during a turn.
If there is a risk of the vehicle colliding with
an oncoming vehicle in the adjacent lane
when turning, the oncoming vehicle braking
when turning function can brake your vehicle.
The vehicle can then remain in its own lane
as a result.
Speed range
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function is available up to around 15 km/h
(around 9 mph).
Limits
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function is available only if you indicate, have
turned the steering wheel and have therefore
started the turning manoeuvre. After chang-
ing from right-hand traffic to left-hand traf-
fic or vice versa, the oncoming vehicle brak-
ing when turning function is available only
after a certain time (30 minutes or more).
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function does not react to persons, animals,
crossing vehicles or objects that are not de-
tected as a vehicle. Always also observe the
fundamental limits of Front Assist

Parking the vehicle WARNING
If the vehicle is not parked properly it can
roll away e
ven on a slight gradient. This can
cause accidents and serious injuries.
x When parking, observe the specified or-
der.
x Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
that the electronic parking brake is
switched on and that the indicator
lamp next to the driving mode selec-
tor lights up red. 1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2.

Switch on the electronic parking brake

x
Enable rolling capability of the v ehicle.Emergency braking function
The emergency braking function should be
used only in those situations where the v

ehi-
cle cannot be stopped using the foot
brake

x
If you driv e to close to the vehicle in
front, brake support systems cannot
prevent an accident.
x Always use suitable tyres. Driving stabili-
ty depends on the tyre grip.
x Always keep the footwell under the ped-
als clear so that the brake pedal can
move freely.

WARNING
Driving without the brake servo or with re-
stricted brake serv o function can consider-
ably increase the braking distance and
cause accidents and serious injuries.
x Never deactivate the electric drive or
switch off the ignition as long as the ve-
hicle is still moving.
x If the brake servo does not function or
the vehicle is being towed, the brake
pedal will have to be depressed more
forcefully as the braking distance will be
increased due to the lack of assistance
for the brake system. Brake blending
The brake blending function regulates be-
tween the braking action of the electric driv

e
motor during energy recovery (brake energy
recuperation) and mechanical braking by the
driver. Switching ESC Sport on and

Brake fluid specification
V
olkswagen has developed a brake fluid that
has been optimised for the brake system in
the vehicle. To ensure the best possible oper-
ation of the brake system, Volkswagen ex-
pressly recommends the use of brake fluid
compliant with VW standard 501 14.
Before using a particular brake fluid, check
that the specifications printed on the con-
tainer correspond to the vehicle require-
ments.
Brake fluid that is compliant with VW stand-
ard 501 14 is available from Volkswagen
dealerships.
If this brake fluid is not available and it is
necessary to use another high-quality brake
fluid instead, brake fluid that is compliant
with DIN ISO 4925 or US standard
FMVSS 116 DOT 4 CLASS 6 can be used.
Not all brake fluids that are compliant with
DIN ISO 4925 or US standard FMVSS 116
DOT 4 CLASS 6 have the same chemical com-
position. Some of these brake fluids may con-
tain chemicals that can damage or destroy
brake system components over time.
Volkswagen therefore recommends the use
of brake fluid that is compliant with
VW standard 501 14 to ensure sustained op-
timal operation of the brake system.
Brake fluid that is compliant with VW stand-
ard 501 14 fulfils the requirements of
DIN ISO 4925 or US standard
FMVSS 116 DOT 4 CLASS 6.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level must always be between
the MIN and MAX markings on the brake fluid
reservoir
