Displays
In addition to speed limits and o
vertaking re-
strictions, Dynamic Road Sign Display also
detects the road sign which indicates that all
restrictions have been lifted on motorways
and main roads in Germany. In all other coun-
tries in which the system is operated, the
current speed limit is displayed instead.
The road signs detected by the Dynamic Road
Sign Display system are displayed on the in-
strument cluster. Road signs may also be dis-
played in the Infotainment system, depend-
ing on the system installed in the vehicle.
With some equipment levels, a display is also
shown on the Head-up Display.
The system is in the initial-
isation phase. OR: the camera has not
detected any regulatory or warning
signs.

tually increase the risk of injury during
an accident. The dangers of assuming an
incorrect sitting position
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 34.
If the seat belts are not worn or are worn in-
correctly, the risk of se
vere or fatal injuries
increases. Seat belts can only provide optimal
protection if the seat belt routing is correct.
Assuming an incorrect sitting position con-
siderably impairs the level of protection pro-
vided by a seat belt. This could lead to severe
or even fatal injuries. The risk of severe or fa-
tal injuries is especially increased when a de-
ploying airbag strikes a vehicle occupant who
has assumed an incorrect sitting position.
The driver is responsible for all occupants
transported in the vehicle, especially children.
The following list contains examples of sit-
ting positions that can be dangerous for all
vehicle occupants.
Whenever the vehicle is in motion:

shop to find out about possible special modi-
fications. The seat belts and airbags can only
pro
vide a maximum level of protection if
a correct sitting position is assumed. Volks-
wagen recommends using a Volkswagen
dealership for this purpose.
Volkswagen recommends the following seat-
ing position for your own safety and to re-
duce the level of injury in the event of a sud-
den braking manoeuvre or an accident:
The following applies to all vehicle occu-
pants:

Correct seat belt routing during preg-
nancy.
Seat belts only pro
vide an optimum level of
protection during an accident when they are
routed correctly. Correct seat belt routing re-
duces the risk of severe or fatal injuries. Cor-
rect seat belt routing also holds the vehicle
occupants in position so that an inflating air-
bag can offer the maximum level of protec-
tion. Therefore you must always fasten your
seat belt and ensure that the seat belt rout-
ing is correct

Massage function
Fig. 84
In the lower area of the driv er seat:
button for massage function.
When the massage function is switched on,
the lumbar support moves and massages the
lumbar region.
The curvature of the lumbar support (mas-
sage intensity) can be individually adjusted in
three levels during operation by repeatedly
pressing the corresponding switch

WARNING
Poor visibility through the door windows,
windscreen and rear window increases the
risk of collisions and accidents which can
cause serious injuries.
x Keep all door windows, the windscreen
and the rear window free from ice, snow
and condensation to maintain perf
ect
visibility.
x Adjust the heating, air conditioning and
rear window heating to prevent conden-
sation from forming on the windows.
x Only set off once all windows are clear.
x Use air recirculation mode for a short
period only. Condensation could other-
wise form very quickly on the windows,
greatly reducing visibility.
x Switch off the air recirculation mode
when it is no longer required. NOTICE
Food, medicine and other items that are sen-
sitiv
e to heat or cold could be either dam-
aged or rendered useless by the air flowing
out of the vents.
x Never leave food, medicines or other tem-
perature-sensitive objects in front of the
vents. NOTICE
If the air conditioning system is not working,
switch the air conditioning system off imme-
diately and ha

ve it checked by a qualified
workshop. This can help to prevent secondary
damage. Overview of functions
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 120.
Some functions of the air conditioning sys-
tem and menus in the Inf

otainment system as well as an air conditioning block for the
rear seats depend on the equipment le

vel.
In the Infotainment system Open the air conditioning settings in
the Infotainment system.
In the Infotainment system: upper screen
edge
Switch the air conditioning system on
and off.
In the Infotainment system: lower screen
edge Select temperature. Depending on the
equipment level, you can set the tem-
perature directly in the Infotainment
system or use the touch sliders be-
neath the Infotainment system. The
selected temperatures are displayed
at the bottom of the screen in the In-
fotainment system.
The temperatures set for the rear row
of seats are shown on the displays for
the air conditioning block for the rear
seats. Adopt temperature settings of driver
side f
or all seats. Switch the seat heating on and off

ing effect can be increased by applying
more pressure to the brake pedal.
x You must driv
e particularly carefully
when driving with new brake pads in or-
der to reduce the risk of accidents, seri-
ous injuries and loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
x Never drive too close to other vehicles
when running in new brake pads, and
never create a driving situation that will
place a heavy load on the brakes. WARNING
Overheated brakes reduce the braking ef-
f
ect and considerably increase the braking
distance.
x When driving downhill, the brakes are
placed under particular strain and be-
come hot very quickly.
x Before driving down a long, steep gradi-
ent, reduce your speed and select
a higher recuperation level. This will
make use of the electric drive braking
effect and relieve the load on the brakes.
x Non-standard or damaged front spoilers
could restrict the airflow to the brakes
and cause them to overheat. WARNING
Wet brakes or brakes coated with ice or
road salt react more slowly and require lon-
ger braking distances.
x Carefully apply the brakes to test them.
x Always dry brakes and clean off any
coating of ice and salt with a f

ew cau-
tious applications of the brakes when
visibility, weather, road and traffic con-
ditions permit. Regularly perform a visual check of the
thickness of the front brake pads
through the openings in the rims or from the
underside of the v

ehicle. If necessary, remove
the wheels to carry out a comprehensive
check. Volkswagen recommends using
a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose. When the front brake pads are
checked, the brake pads in the drum
brakes on the rear axle should also be
checked at the same time. This check is per-
f

ormed though an inspection hole on the rear
of the drum. A sealing plug must be removed
for this purpose. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this pur-
pose. Driving a loaded vehicle
F
or good vehicle handling when driving a loa-
ded vehicle, please observe the following:

This will also occur to a certain extent when
the v
ehicle is rolling to stop when in overrun
mode or travelling downhill.
The higher the charge level of the high-volt-
age battery, the lower the recuperation and
thus also the engine braking effect. No brake
energy recuperation occurs and therefore no
engine braking effect is available once the
high-voltage battery is fully charged
